目的:研究核转录因子锌指蛋白580(ZFP580)在大鼠心肌缺血-再灌注(I-R)损伤中表达的变化,探讨其可能的作用。方法:48只SD大鼠分为:(1)假手术组;(2)I-R组,结扎冠状动脉左前降支30 min后恢复血液灌注;(3)L-精氨酸(L-Arg)预处理+I-R组,于缺血前给予L-Arg 300 mg/kg,重复I-R组操作;(4)L-Arg预处理+sham组。(2)、(3)组于I-R后1 h或4 h处死动物。各组大鼠取心肌标本HE染色,光镜下计数心肌组织中中性粒细胞数。检测血清中乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)、肌酸激酶(CK)活性及肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)浓度,半定量RT-PCR或免疫组化染色分析ZFP580及内皮型一氧化氮合酶(eNOS)在心肌细胞的表达。结果:I-R后,缺血区心肌细胞肿胀,周围大量中性粒细胞浸润,血清LDH、CK活性及TNF-α浓度升高,心肌ZFP580和eNOS表达下调(P〈0.05)。应用L-Arg预处理+I-R后,血清LDH、CK活性及TNF-α浓度降低,心肌ZFP580和eNOS的表达回升。结论:心肌I-R损伤引起ZFP580表达下调。ZFP580及eNOS的表达上调可能是L-Arg预处理拮抗心肌I-R损伤的机制之一。
AIM:To investigate the expression of transcription factor zinc finger protein 580(ZFP580) in the process of rat myocardial ischemia-reperfusion(I-R) injury with or without L-arginine preconditioning.METHODS: Forty-eight SD rats were randomly divided into sham group,I-R group,L-arginine preconditioning+I-R group and L-arginine preconditioning+sham group.Myocardial ischemia was induced by the ligation of left anterior descending coronary artery,and the rats were subjected to transient ischemia for 30 min followed by reperfusion for 1 h or 4 h.L-arginine was administered before ischemia in preconditioning groups.The cardiac histological changes were assessed by hematoxylineosin(HE) staining.The serum content of TNF-α and the activity of creatine kinase(CK) and lactate dehydrogenase(LDH) were detected.The expression of ZFP580 and endothelial nitric oxide synthase(eNOS) in the heart were measured by RTPCR and immunohistochemical analysis.RESULTS: Histological analysis showed that there were more polymorphonuclear neutrophils infiltrating in ischemic myocardium after reperfusion.Serum level of TNF-α and the activity of CK and LDH were significantly increased in I-R group,accompanying the down-regulation of ZFP580 and eNOS in the heart(P0.05).L-arginine preconditioning up-regulated ZFP580 and eNOS in the heart,and decreased TNF-α level,CK and LDH activity in serum.CONCLUSION: Ischemia-reperfusion injury coincides with the down-regulation of ZFP580 and eNOS in the heart.The beneficial effects of L-arginine are partly mediated by up-regulating the expression of ZFP580 and eNOS.
