目的探讨慢性间歇性低压低氧(CIHH)对发育大鼠心脏的保护作用及其热休克蛋白所起的作用。方法新生♂SD大鼠20只,随机分为两组:CIHH处理组(CIHH)和对照组(CON)。CIHH动物(连同母鼠)接受56 d相当于海拔3 000 m的低压低氧处理(5 h/d)。应用导管法描记左心室功能及血液动力学,包括左室峰压(LVSP)、左室舒张末压(LVEDP)、左室压力最大变化速率(±LVdp/dtmax)、动脉收缩压(SAP)和心率(HR),并观察急性低氧/复氧对其影响。应用半定量RT-PCR技术检测各组动物心肌热休克蛋白27(HSP27)、热休克蛋白70(HSP70)和热休克蛋白90(HSP90)mRNA的表达。结果①基础状态下,CON组动物与CIHH组动物之间左心室功能和血液动力学无差异(P〉0.05);急性低氧/复氧导致发育大鼠LVSP、±LVdp/dtmax、SAP降低,HR减慢(P〈0.05),但CIHH大鼠各参数变化明显小于CON动物(P〈0.05)。②基础状态下,CIHH动物心肌HSP70 mRNA表达明显高于CON动物(P〈0.05);急性低氧/复氧状态下,CIHH动物心肌HSP27和HSP70 mRNA表达高于CON动物(P〈0.05)。结论 CIHH可通过促进心肌热休克蛋白27和热休克蛋白70表达,增强发育大鼠心肌抗急性低氧/复氧损伤能力。
Aim To explore the cardiac protection of chronic intermittent hypobaric hypoxia(CIHH)and the role of heat shock protein(HSP)in developing rats.Method Twenty neonatal male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided randomly into two groups:CIHH group and control group.The rats in CIHH group were exposed the hypobaric hypoxia mimicking 3 000 m altitude for 56 days,5 hrs each day.The left ventricular function and hemodynamics including left ventricular systolic pressure(LVSP),left ventricular end-diastolic pressure(LVEDP),velocity of left ventricular pressure(±LVdp/dtmax),systolic arterial blood pressure(SAP)and heart rate(HR)were recorded using catheterization technique.The mRNA of HSP27,HSP70 and HSP90 was measured by semi-quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).Results ① There were no differences in the left ventricular function and hemodynemics between CIHH and control groups(P0.05)under basic normoxia condition.During acute hypoxia/reoxygenation,LVSP,±LVdp/dtmax,SAP and HR were decreased(P0.05)in developing rats,but the change in CIHH rats was significantly smaller than that in control rats(P0.05).② The expression of HSP70 mRNA in CIHH rats was higher than that in control rats(P0.05)under basic normoxia condition.During acute hypoxia/ reoxygenation,the expression of HSP27,and HSP70 mRNA in CIHH animals was higher than that in control animals(P0.05).Conclusion CIHH can protect heart against acute hypoxia/reoxygenation injury through increasing HSP27 and HSP70 expression in developing rats.
