| Abstract: | AIM: To study the expression of endostatin in ischemic myocardium of myocardial infarction (MI) rats in various periods and the correlation with VEGF expression and microvascular density (MVD).METHODS: Thirty-two male Sprague-Dawley rats after myocardial infarction were randomly divided into 7, 14, 21 and 28 days group.The sham group was normal control group (eight rats in each group).The expression of endostatin, VEGF and MVD in ischemic myocardium were observed by immunohistochemistry.RESULTS: The expression of endostatin significantly increased in the ischemic myocardium after MI, peaked at 7 days, then gradually decreased at 14, 21 and 28 days.The endostatin level at 28 days was the same as the shams.The changing trends of expression of endostatin in ischemic myocardium after MI were similar to that of VEGF and were significantly correlated with the MVD.CONCLUSION: The expression of endostatin increased in ischemic myocardium of myocardial infarction rats.The changing trends of endostatin were similar to that of VEGF and positively correlated with the MVD.These data suggest that endostatin may modulate ischemic myocardium angiogenesis after myocardial infarction. |
