AIM: To observe the changes of metallothionein (MT) in various tissues of mice during hyperhomocysteinemia. METHODS: Intraperitoneal injection of homocysteine into mice induced hyperhomocysteinemia. The contents of tissue MT and malondialdehyde (MDA) in liver, heart and kidney were determined. RESULTS: Compared with control group, tissue MT levels in Hcy-group animals were increased by 210% (P<0.01) for liver, by 133% (P<0.05) for heart and by 60% (P<0.01) for kidney. Tissue MDA contents were increased by 6%, 52%(P<0.05) and 69% (P<0.05), respectively. However, in treated animals with Hcy plus superoxide dismutase (SOD), the tissue MT contents in liver, heart and kidney were decreased by 22% (P<0.05), 33% (P<0.05) and 13% (P>0.05), respectively, compared with Hcy alone group. Tissue MDA contents were decreased by 24% (P<0.05), 21% (P<0.05) and 48% (P<0.01). There was a positive correlation between tissue MT content and MDA level. CONCLUSION: Hcy could induce tissue MT formation through oxidative stress.  相似文献

AIM and METHODS: In a model of balloon injury of rat aorta, the dynamic changes of C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) in plasma and aortic tissues and the effect of exogenous CNP on intima/media (I/M) ratios were studied. RESULTS:CNP levels in plasma were significantly increased by 80.7% (P<0.01),43.5%(P<0.05) and 27.5% (P<0.05) on 3 days, 10 days and 21 days after balloon injury, but its levels in aortic tissues were decreased by 46.6% (P<0.05) on day 3 and increased by 2.8 (P<0.01),1.6(P<0.05) and 0.82-fold (P<0.05) on day 10, day 21 and day 28 after balloon injury of rat aorta. Result also showed that the administration of CNP i.p. inhibited neointima formation. I/M ratios were decreased by 23% (P<0.05) and 20% (P<0.05) on 7 days, 21 days after balloon injury of rat aorta.CONCLUSION:CNP might be involved in the process of recovery after vascular endothelium-denudation and exogenous CNP suppress the neointima formation.  相似文献

AIM:To investigate the protective effect of preconditioning on rabbit liver during total ischemia and reperfusion and its mechanism. METHODS: Using hepatic ischemia and reperfusion injury (HIRI) model in rabbits, animals were randomly divided into three groups: control group (A), non-preconditioning group(B) and preconditioning group(C), different effects of preconditioning on several parameters including alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activity and levels of nitric oxide (NO) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in plasma or liver tissue as well as hepatocellular morphological changes were measured and observed during HIRI. RESULTS:In C group NO levels of plasma and liver tissue were higher than those in B group (P<0.05);While MDA levels and ALT value in plasma were lower than those in B group (P<0.05 and P<0.01); and there were not significant differences between C and A group (P>0.05); abnormal morphological chages of liver cells in A group were ameliorated remarkably too during HIRI. CONCLUSION:Preconditioning can attenuate HIRI by improving NO level and reducing oxygen free radicals level.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effects of testosterone on endothelial function and intimal proliferation after balloon injury in male rabbit abdominal aorta. METHODS: 24 male New Zealand white rabbits were divided randomly into three groups: control group (n=8, sham castration), hypotestosteronemia group (n=8,castration) and testosterone replacement group (n=8,castration +testosterone undecanoate intramuscular injection,14mg/kg). Abdominal aorta was injured with 3 mm PTCA balloon after testosterone undecanoate had been injected for three days. Two weeks later, blood samples were obtained for detection of plasma testosterone, lipids, metabolic product of nitric oxide (NO2-/NO3-), superoxide dismutase(SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA),and all the abdominal aorta were excised to be analyzed by computer. RESULTS: The intimal area of hypotestosteronemia group were significantly larger than that of other two groups(P<0.01). plasma NO2-/NO3- and SOD levels were significantly decreased, while the total cholesterol(TC),triglycerides(TG), low density lipoprotein(LDL) and plasma MDA were significantly increased. No difference was observed between control group and testosterone replacement group in all parameters. CONCLUSION: Testosterone, at physiological level,had the effects of inhibiting the intimal proliferation and of protecting the endothelial function after balloon injury in male rabbit abdominal aorta.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect of tea-polyphenols (TP) on the lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and hepatic lipase (HL) activity in atherosclerosis (AS) rabbits. METHODS: The rabbits feeding lipodiet were taken in 200 μg·g-1·d-1 TP through the experiment. The LPL and HL activity in the plasma of rabbits were detected. The LPL activity in the arteria tissue and HL activity in liver tissue were estimated with histochemistry technique. RESULTS: The LPL and HL activity in the plasma were not significantly different between premier and post experiment in AS rabbits (P>0.05), between AS group and control group (P>0.05). The LPL activity in the arteria tissue were not different between AS group and control group (P>0.05). HL activity in liver tissue in AS group was significantly lower than control group (P<0.05), but TP group was higher than AS group (P<0.05). In TP group, the TC and LDL-c level in plasma were lower (P<0.05), and the area of atherosclerosis plaque were smaller than those in AS group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: TP increased HL activity in liver tissue in AS rabbits, which correlated with decreasing the TC and LDL-c level in plasma and the area of atherosclerosis plaque.  相似文献

AIM: To explore the protective effect of phytosterol ester (PSE) on aortic aging in rats. METHODS: The female SD rats (12 months old, n=42) were randomly divided into control group, model group and PSE group. During the experiment, the rats in control group, model group and PSE group were treated with basic feed, high-fat diet (HFD) and HFD with 2% PSE (W/W) for 6 months, respectively. The morphological changes of the aorta were observed by HE staining and Masson staining, and the absolute area of smooth muscle cells and collagen fiber in the vascular wall were measured by image analysis. The levels of advanced glycosylation end products (AGEs), malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) in the plasma were detected. The expression of silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) at mRNA and protein levels in the vascular tissue was determined by real time PCR and Western blot, respectively. RESULTS: PSE significantly lowered plasma TC and LDL-C, and increased plasma HDL-C level (P<0.05), but had no effect on plasma TG level. PSE significantly attenuated the thickening of intima and media of aging aortic, and decreased the migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) and the amount of VSMC and collagen fiber in the aorta (P<0.05). PSE significantly reduced the contents of AGEs and MDA (P<0.05), but had no effect on the activity of SOD and CAT in the plasma. PSE also down-regulated the expression of PPARγ and up-regulated the expression of SIRT1 (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: PSE is able to attenuate the senescence process in the aorta by reducing the production of reactive oxygen species in plasma, and activating SIRT1, or inhibiting the expression of PPARγ in vascular tissues.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the ameliorative effect of salvianolic acid B on vasodilatory function in diabetic rats and the possible mechanisms. METHODS: SD rats (n=40) were fed on high-sugar and high-fat diet for 4 weeks, followed by a single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (40 mg/kg). The rats with random blood glucose level over 16.7 mmol/L were considered diabetic and randomly allocated to 3 groups, namely model group, low dose (80 mg·kg-1·d-1) of salvianolic acid B group and high dose (160 mg·kg-1·d-1) of salvianolic acid B group. The rats in salvianolic acid B groups were intragastrically administered with corresponding doses of salvianolic acid B for 6 weeks. Vasodilatory function was measured as endothelium-dependent and-independent vasodilation of the aortic rings. The primary histopathological changes of aorta were observed by HE staining. Serum levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were measured by ELISA. The levels of total antioxidant capacity, malondialdehyde (MDA) and nitric oxide (NO) in aortic tissues were evaluated by colorimetric assays. The protein levels of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), and the activation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) were determined by Western blot. RESULTS: Treatment with salvianolic acid B evidently ameliorated endothelium-dependent diastolic function and pathological changes of aorta in diabetic rats (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Supplementation with salvianolic acid B resulted in significant increases in NO content and total antioxidant capacity in aortic tissues, accompanied by marked decreases in the level of MDA in aorta tissues and the serum levels of IL-6, TNF-α and CRP (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Salvianolic acid B markedly down-regulated NF-κB p65 nuclear translocation and protein expression of ICAM-1 and MCP-1 in aorta tissues (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSION: Salvianolic acid B effectively ameliorates endothelium-dependent diastolic function of aorta in diabetic rats, which might be attributed to suppression of NF-κB activation and subsequent expression of inflammatory cytokines. The beneficial effect of salvianolic acid B on vascular endothelium might be derived from its antioxidant capacity.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the antioxidant status and the oxidative damage of cellular macromolecules in patients with Graves' disease. METHODS: Fasting plasma level of total antioxidant capacity (TAC), and the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) were measured in 31 patients with untreated Graves' disease and 31 treated Graves' disease. DNA damage of peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) was detected by single cell gel electrophoresis assay (expressed in comet percentage). In addition, thiol group (SH) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were measured. 31 age-matched healthy subjects were studied as a control group. RESULTS: Plasma TAC, SOD and GSH-Px were significantly lower in patients with untreated Graves' disease compared to the controls (P<0.05, P<0.01). The comet percentage of PBMC and the content of MDA in plasma from patients with untreated Graves' disease were significantly higher than those from the controls (P<0.01), whereas the level of SH was decreased in patients with untreated Graves' disease (P<0.01). Threatment with methimazole led to an improvement in oxidative damage indices and antioxidant potential parameters. But they still did not turn to normal. The comet percentage of PBMC was negatively correlated with the level of TAC (r=-0.599, -0.429, P<0.01, P<0.05); and was positively correlated with the level of MDA (r=0.463, 0.402, P<0.01, P<0.05) in Graves' disease. CONCLUSION: The oxidation-antioxidation imbalance and the oxidative damage of cellular macromolecules are involved in the pathogenesis of Graves' disease.  相似文献

AIM:To explore the relationship between change of serum melatonin (MT) and pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy (HE). METHODS: Changes of MT level in sera of cirrhosic patients with HE and without HE were determined by ELISA, normal serum served as control. The change of serum MT level in exacerbation and remission in HE was also determined.RESULTS:MT level in patients with HE was higher than that withour HE (P<0.01). MT levels of both groups were higher than that of normal group (P<0.01). They were (308.53±59.07) ng/L, (139.85±34.59)ng/L,(77.73±28.41)ng/L, respectively. Serum MT level in exacerbation was higher than that in remission (P<0.01), they were (301.52±66.42)ng/L and (147.81±23.31) ng/L, respectively. CONCLUSION: The elevation of MT content in sera may be closely related to the onset of hepatic coma.  相似文献

AIM: To explore the role of 78 kD glucose-regulated protein (GRP78) in the development of liver cirrhosis in rats promoted by intestinal endotoxemia (IETM). METHODS: Fifty-one male Wistar rats were randomly divided into liver cirrhosis groups of 4th-week, 6th-week and 8th-week, and normal control group at the corresponding time points. The rat model of hepatic cirrhosis was induced by employing multiple pathogenic factors to the animals. The liver injury and hepatic fibrosis were observed with the staining of HE and VG, respectively. The expression of GRP78 at the mRNA and protein levels was measured by the methods of RT-PCR and immnunohistochemistry, respectively. The concentrations of alanine aminotransferase(ALT), endotoxin, TNF-α and homocystine (HCY) in plasma, and the content of TNF-α, malondialdehyde(MDA) and PⅢP in liver tissues were detected. RESULTS: As liver cirrhosis developed, the levels of ALT, endotoxin, TNF-α and HCY in plasma, the expression of GRP78 at mRNA and protein, the content of TNF-α, MDA and PⅢP in liver tissues, and the index of liver fibrosis were gradually increased and were significantly higher than those in normal control group (P<0.05). Elevated endotoxin in plasma was correlated positively with the protein expression of GRP78, the content of MDA and HCY in plasma and the index of liver fibrosis (P<0.01). Elevated protein expression of GRP78 was correlated positively with the content of MDA and HCY in plasma and the index of liver fibrosis (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: GRP78 plays an important role in the development of liver cirrhosis. Endoplasmic reticulum stress is a possible mechanism in the development of liver cirrhosis promoted by IETM.  相似文献

AIM:To investigate alteration of functional receptors for urotensin II in pressure overload-induced cardiac hypertrophy of rats. METHODS: In the rat cardiac hypertrophy model produced by constriction of the abdominal aorta, urotensin II binding sites in myocardial sarcolemma were determined with radioligand assay first day (early group) and 30th day (late group) after operation. RESULTS:Compared with control and sham group, in the early group,the blood pressure increased 54% and 43% respectively(P<0.01),and heart/body weight ratio unchanged(P>0.05),UII receptors were up-regulated by 184% and 159%(P<0.01)respectively, While the affinity to UII was decreased (Kd increased 224% and 206 respectively,P<0.01).In the late group, the blood pressure increased 85% and 67% (P<0.01), and heart/body weight ratio increased 18% and 22% (P<0.05) respectively,than that of control and sham group. UII receptors were down-regulated by 35% and 41%(P<0.05) respectively while the affinity to UII was increased (Kd decreased 30% and 33% respectively, P<0.05). CONCLUSION: The biphasic changes of UII receptor in myocardial sarcolemma induced by pressure-overload were observed,increasing in early stage, while decreasing in late stage, and these changes were involved in the development of cardiac hypertrophy.  相似文献

AIM:To investigate the effect of metallothionein(MT) on proliferation of rat vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) stimulated by homocysteine and its mechanism. METHODS:VSMCs proliferation was measured by [3-H]-TdR incorporation, mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK)activity were determined by immunoprecipitation method, the intracellular contents of MT and malondialdehyde (MDA)were assayed by -hemoglobin saturation method and TBA reaction, respectively, and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) leakage was measured by NADH oxidation. RESULTS:Hcy(10-6-10-4 mmol/L) stimulated [3-H]-TdR incorporation by the VSMCs in a concentration-dependent manner. Compared with control, [3-H]-TdR incorporation in VSMCs treated with 0.1 mmol/L Hcy was increased by 4.2 fold (P<0.01). Meanwhile, Hcy enhanced MAPK activity, MDA formation and LDH release (P<0.01)in a concentration-dependent manner. Treatment of VSMCs with MT alone did not change above parameters, compared with control. However, MT (10-6-10-4 mol/L)attenuated significantly Hcy-stimulated proliferation of VSMCs (P<0.01)in a concentration-dependent manner. And MT inhibited obviously Hcy-induced activation of MAPK activity, MDA formation and LDH release. Preincubation of VSMCs with 0.5 mmol/L ZnCl2 for 6 h induced an increase cellular MT content by 5.7-fold (P<0.01). The MT-overexpressed VSMCs resisted Hcy-stimulating action on MAPK activity, MDA formation and LDH leakage (P<0.01). CONCLUSION:These results show that MT has an inhibitory effect on Hcy-induced VSMCs proliferation, and that MT could inhibit Hcy-stimulated MAPK activity and lipid peroxidation.  相似文献

AIM: To explore the role of glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) in the alteration of myocardium induced by intestinal endotoxemia in cirrhotic rats. METHODS: Fifty-one male Wistar rats were randomly divided into liver cirrhosis groups of 4-week, 6-week and 8-week, and normal control groups at corresponding time points. The cardiac functions of the 8-week rats were measured. Tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α) and malondialdehyde(MDA) in myocardial tissues were detected. The number of myocardial cells and the collagen volume fraction (CVF) were determined with toluidine blue and van Giesan staining, respectively. The expression of GRP78 and hypoxia-inducible facotr 1α(HIF-1α) was analyzed by the method of immnunohistochemistry. RESULTS: Compared with normal control group at corresponding time point, left ventricular end-diastolic pressure(LVEDP) and ±LV dp/dtmax in 8-week group were significantly decreased (P<0.05). The levels of TNF-α, MDA and CVF, the protein expression of GRP78 and HIF-1α in the myocardial tissues were significantly increased in every model group (P<0.05), and the number of myocardial cells was gradually decreased (P<0.05). Elevated levels of endotoxin in plasma were positively correlated with the levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT),homocysteine (Hcy) and TNF-α in plasma, the levels of TNF-α, MDA and CVF, and protein levels of GRP78 and HIF-1α in the myocardial tissues (P<0.05). Elevated protein expression of GRP78 in the myocardial tissues was positively correlated with the levels of ALT, Hcy in plasma and MDA, CVF, HIF-1α protein in the myocardial tissues (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Intestinal endotoxemia induced by liver cirrhosis may directly or indirectly lead to endoplasmic reticulum stress and overexpression of GRP78. GRP78 may be a key molecule in the pathogenesis of myocardial remodeling and functional alteration induced by liver cirrhosis.  相似文献

AIM: Studying the mechanism of protective role of metallothionein(MT) in hypoxic preconditioning(HPC) of cultivated rat cardiomyocytes. METHODS:Using the model of hypoxia/reoxygenation of cultivated rat cardiomyocytes. Determining the contents of MT, malonyldialdehyde (MDA)-metabolism product of lipid peroxidation and the activities of Na+-K+ATPase, Ca2+-Mg2+ATPase of cardiomyocytes 24h after HPC, also determining the relevant changes after using MT antibody. RESULTS: After 24 h in HPC, the contents of MT and activities of Na+-K+ATPase, Ca2+-Mg2+ATPase were obviously higher than those in the control and hypoxia/reoxygenation(P<0.05), and the contents of MDA were decreased remarkedly (P<0.01). Then after using MT antibody, the activities of two enzyme were progressively decreased and the contents of MDA were significantly higher than those in the control and MT antibody-free groups(P<0.01). CONCLUSION: HPC may induce excessive synthesis of MT, and MT can protect myocardial reoxygenation injury by eliminating lipid peroxidation and rising the activities of Na+-K+ATPase and Ca2+-Mg2+ATPase.  相似文献
