目的探讨心肌线粒体去乙酰化酶SIRT3对急性缺血再灌注(I/R)所致心律失常的影响。方法:以24只SIRT3基因敲除型小鼠为实验对象,用24只野生型小鼠为对照,两种小鼠均随机各分为对照组、假手术组、I/R模型组及I/R+烟酰胺腺嘌呤二核苷酸(NAD+)治疗组,每组6只小鼠(rt=6)。采用冠脉左前降支结扎缺血30 min再灌注2 h建立在体大鼠急性心肌I/R模型,于术中监测心电指标。取心肌组织检测SIRT3、锰超氧化物歧化酶(MnSOD)和过氧化氢酶(Catalase)蛋白的表达和心肌内氧自由基(ROS)的水平。结果:与野生型对照小鼠相比,SIRT3基因敲除型小鼠心肌中SIRT3、MnSOD和Catalase蛋白表达的水平显著降低。心律失常评分的结果显示,SIRT3基因敲除型小鼠的假手术组即可观察到心律失常。SIR13基因敲除可导致小鼠心肌I/R所致心律失常显著加重(与野生型模型组相比,P〈0-05)。心肌I/R后,SIRT3基因敲除型小鼠心肌中ROS的增加程度明显高于野生型模型组小鼠(P〈0-05)。预先采用NAD+治疗,可显著提高野生型I/R小鼠心肌SIRT3的活性(与野生型小鼠模型组相比,P〈0-05),显著增加心肌MnSOD的活性,进而有效地抑制I/R小鼠心肌中ROS的水平,有效缓解I/R所致心律失常(与野生型小鼠模型组相比,均P〈0-05)。但是,SIR73基因敲除后,NAD+治疗引起的上述心肌保护作用基本消失。结论:心肌中SIRT3表达的降低可能是加重心肌I/R过程中氧化应激损伤并促发心律失常的重要机制。SIRT3正常活性的维持有助于对抗心肌I/R损伤(MIRI)的发生。
AIM: To investigate the role of cardiac deacetylase SIRT3 in ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-in duced arrhythmias. METHODS: Twenty-four Sirt3 knockout ( SIRT3 KO) mice and 24 wild-type (WT) mice were randomized into control group (Control, n = 6) , sham group (Sham, n = 6), ischemia reperfusion group (I/R, n = 6) and NAD treated I/R group (I/R + NAD +, n = 6). Wild-type and knockout mice were subjected to I (30 min)/R (2 h) and ECG was examined during I/R. NAD + treatment was performed by intraperitoneal injection [ 7 days, 1 mg/( kg · day) ] before I/R. At the end of the reperfusion period, arrhythmia score, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, cardiac SIRT3 and MnSOD levels were measured and analyzed. RESULTS : Compared with those in WT mice, cardiac SIRT3, Mn SOD and catalase expression decreased in SIRT3 KO mice. Arrhythmia was detected in SIRT3 KO mice under sham treatment. I/R triggered serious arrhythmia in WT mice and aggravated arrhythmia in SIRT3 KO mice ( P 〈 0. 05 ). SIRT3 KO mice showed increased ROS production after I/R compared with WTI/R mice (P 〈 0. 05 ). NAD + treatment significantly increased cardiac SIRT3 and MnSOD activity, inhibited ROS production and consequently suppressed I/R-induced arrhythmia in WT mice. However, NAD -induced cardioprotctive effects were blunted in SIRT3 KO mice. CONCLUSION: Impairment of SIRT3 expression with subsequent ROS production plays an important role during I/R-induced arrhythmia and protection of SIRT3 activity may help prevent I/R-induced arrhvthmia.
