Mechanisms of Fuxin Jian against Myocardial Ischemia Reperfusion Injury in Rats
Objective:To study the mechanisms of Fuxin Jian against myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury in rats.Method: The experimental animals were randomly divided into the sham operation group
ischemia reperfusion model group
fluvastatin group(4 mg·kg-1)
high dose of Fuxin Jian group(28 g·kg-1)and low dose of Fuxin Jian group(14 g·kg-1).The rats in each group were administrated intragastrically with defined preventive drugs for seven days.The myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury model was established by ligating left anterior descending coronary.All rats were dissected to observe pathological changes of cardiac muscle by HE staining.The contents of superoxide dismutase(SOD)
malonaldenhyde(MDA)
glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px) and nitric oxide(NO) in serum were measured.Apoptosis in myocardial tissue was detected by TUNEL.The expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS)mRNA in rat myocardium was detected by RT-PCR.Result: Fuxin Jian could obviously ameliorate the pathological lesion caused by ischemia reperfusion injury.Compared with model group
the contents of MDA in high dose group of Fuxin Jian were decreased(P<0.05)
and the activities of SOD and GSH-Px were increased(P<0.05).But there was no significant difference between low dose group and model group.The number of apoptotic cells were reduced significantly in both groups of Fuxin Jian(P<0.01 or P<0.05)and the expression of iNOS mRNA was inhibited to some extent.Conclusion: Fuxin Jian has protective effects on myocardial ischemia reperfusion in rats.The mechanisms might be related to scavenging oxygen free radicals
inhibiting apoptosis and reducing the expression of iNOS mRNA.
