目的探讨在缺血后适应(IPost)减轻肥厚心肌缺血再灌注(IR)损伤中S1P信号通路的作用。方法选取12周龄C57/BL小鼠,利用Langendorff灌流装置建立小鼠肥厚心肌IR模型,30 min全心缺血随后再灌注90 min。64只小鼠随机分为缺血再灌注组(IR组)、缺血后适应组(IPost组)、IPost+W-146组和IPost+PD98059组,每组14只,进行心脏血流动力学和心肌梗死范围检测,Western印迹方法检测S1P1、ERK1/2总蛋白及磷酸化蛋白表达水平。脱氧核苷酸转移酶介导的生物素原位缺口末端标记(TUNEL)法检测心肌细胞的凋亡。结果与IR组比较,IPost组小鼠心脏血流动力学指标左心室收缩压[(66±6)mm Hg vs(85±5)mm Hg]、左室压力上升最大速度[(2 820±220)mm Hg vs(3 778±230)mm Hg]显著降低(P〈0.05),心肌梗死范围显著减小[(23.6±2.8)%vs(40.2±4.6)%]。IPost+抑制剂组显示在再灌注的最初15 min使用W-146、PD98059能消除IPost对肥厚心肌的上述保护作用并显著增加心肌梗死面积,与IR组水平相同。与IR组比较,IPost组在再灌注结束后心肌组织中的S1P1、ERK1/2蛋白磷酸化水平表达显著增加;IPost+W-146组与IPost+PD98059组分别与IR组比较,上述指标差异均无统计学意义(P〉0.05);TUNEL法检测结果显示,IPost组Bcl-2的表达较其他各组明显升高,Bax的表达较其他各组明显降低,经比较各组之间Bcl-2和Bax的表达差异无统计学意义(P〉0.05)。结论 IPost能有效地减轻离体小鼠肥厚心肌缺血再灌注损伤,IPost的心肌细胞保护作用可能是通过S1P结合S1P1后激活ERK1/2信号通路实现的。
Objective To investigate the effects of ischemic postconditioning(IPost) in protecting hypertrophic myocardium subjected to ischemic re-perfusion(IR) and to study the role of Sphingosine-1-phosphate in mediating such protection. Methods Transverse aortic constriction(TAC) operation was performed on 12-week-old C57/BL mice to establish left ventricular hypertrophy models. Sixty-four isolated TAC mouse hearts were mounted onto the Langendorff perfusion system and equally divided into four groups: IR group [undergoing stable perfusion for 30 min, ischemic for 30 min, and re-perfusion for 90 min(an IR cycle) to cause hypertrophic myocardium IR injury], IPost group [undergoing ischemic for 10 s and re-perfusion 10 s, totally 3 cycles(60 s) before re-perfusion for 90 min],IPost+W-146 group and IPost+PD98059 group. Hemodynamic examination was conducted 90 min after re-perfusion to measure the left ventricular systolic pressure(LVSP), left ventricular end diastolic pressure(LVEDP), maximal uprising velocity of left ventricle pressure(dp/dtmax), and minimal uprising velocity of left ventricle pressure(dp/dtmin). After the IR procedure the myocardium of the left ventricle was isolated to detect the infarction size(IS). Western blotting was used to detect the protein expression of S1P1, ERK1/2 and phosphorylated ERK1/2. TUNEL was used to detect the apoptosis rate. Results Compared with IR group, the LVSP levels of the IPost group were significantly higher [(66±6) mm Hg vs(85±5) mm Hg], the dp/dtmax were significantly decreased [(2 820±220) mm Hg vs(3 778±230) mm Hg], and the infarction size was significantly reduced [(23.6±2.8)% vs(40.2±4.6)%], all with P〈0.05.However, the results of the IPost+inhibitor groups(IPost+W-146 group and IPost+PD98059 group) showed that in the first 15 min of re-perfusion addition of W-146 and PD98059 reversed all changes observed in the IPost group and eliminated the IPost protection by increasing infarction
