Effect of Mangiferin on Morphology of Relevant Vessels and MCP-1/CCR-2 Pathway in Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats
To observe the morphological changes of carotid artery
thoracic aorta and superior mesenteric artery in spontaneously hypertensive rats(SHR)
in order to further study the effect of Mangiferin on the expressions of inflammatory factors and monocyte chemoattract protein-1 (MCP-1)/c-chemokine receptor type 2 (CCR-2) pathway in SHR.
Method:
2
Forty spontaneously hypertensive rats were randomly divided into model group
benazepril group (10 mg·kg
-1
·d
-1
) and low
medium and high-dose mangiferin groups (25
50
100 mg·kg
-1
·d
-1
). Eight male WKY rats of the same age were selected as normal control group. Systolic blood pressure was observed every two weeks after eight weeks of administration. Morphology of carotid artery
thoracic aorta and superior mesenteric artery was observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. Immunohistochemical assay (IHC) and Western blot were used to detect MCP-1 and CCR-2 protein expressions in thoracic aorta. MCP-1 and CCR-2 mRNA expression levels in thoracic aorta were detected by Real-time quantitative fluorescence PCR (Real-time PCR).
Result:
2
Compared with the normal group
the inflammatory cells in the model group increased significantly
the systolic blood pressure was significantly higher than that in the WKY group (
P
<
0.01)
and MCP-1
CCR-2 protein and mRNA expressions in thoracic aorta were increased obviously (
P
<
0.01). Compared with model group
in high-dose benazepril and mangiferin groups
inflammatory cells were decreased significantly
endothelial margin and fibrous tissue infiltration were improved significantly
and systolic blood pressure was decreased significantly (
P
<
0.01). MCP-1
CCR-2 protein and mRNA expression in thoracic aorta of benazepril and mangiferin groups decreased significantly (
P
<
0.01).
Conclusion:
2
There are inflammation damages in carotid artery
thoracic aorta and superior mesenteric artery of spontaneously hypertensive rats. Mangiferin has an anti-inflammatory effect by possibly inhibiting the expressions of MCP-1/CCR-2 pathway in SHR vessels.
