Twenty-four rats were randomly divided into 3 groups （n=8 in each group）： control group was perfused for 120 min. In the I/R group, after 30 min stabilization the injury was induced by 30 min global ischemia followed by 60 min reperfusion. Ethyl pyruvate （EP） group was set up with the same protocol as I/R group except that it was supplied with 2 mmol/L EP 15 rain before ischemia and throughout reperfusion. Myocardial malonaldehyde （MDA） content was measured. Myocardial apoptotic index （AI） was tested by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated dUTP nick end labeling （TUNEL） method. The expression of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 and pro-apoptotic protein Bax in cardiac myocytes was detected by immunohistochemistry. As compared with control group, the content of MDA, myocardial AI and the expression of Bcl-2, Bax proteins were increased significantly in I/R group, but the content of MDA, myocardial AI and the expression of Bax protein were decreased obviously and the expression of Bcl-2 protein was up-regulated in EP group （P〈0.05）. These results demonstrate that EP could inhibit apoptosis of cardiac myocytes possibly via alleviating oxidative stress, up-regulating Bcl-2 and down-regulating Bax proteins.展开更多

Methods： Sprague Dawley （SD） rats （n=54） weighing （250-25） g were divided equally and randomly into three groups： normal control group （C group, n= 18）, trauma model group （T group, n= 18） and penehyclidine hydrochloride treatment group （P group, n=18）. Each group was further divided into three subgroups according to the time points of 3, 12 and 24 hours after experiment （at each time point, n=6 for each subgroup）. Rats of P group were intraperitoneally injected with penehyclidine hydrochloride for 2 mg/kg immediately after blunt chest trauma and rats in its 24 hours subgroup were once again injected with penehyclidine hy- drochloride in the same dose 12 hours after injury. Lung tissue samples were collected at every time point and cell apoptosis in lung tissues were measured by TUNEL. Apoptotic index （AI） was calculated, expressions of bax and bcl-2 were detected by immunohistochemical staining of SABC, and lung tissue sections were taken for light and electron microscopic observation. Results： As compared with C group, at every time point, AI and expressions ofbax and bcl-2 in T group were higher （P〈0.05）, and the ratio of bcl-2/bax markedly decreased （P〈0.05）, especially in the 24 hours subgroup. The ratio in T group （0.468±0.007） was lower than that in C group （1.382±0.058, t=12.5, P〈0.01）. Lung tissue injuries were significant under a light microscope, and the number of apoptotic cells increased obviously under a transmission electron microscope. As compared with T group at the same phase, AI and expression of bax decreased in P group （P〈0.05 and P〈0.01）, while the expression of bcl-2 increased significantly （P〈0.01）, and the ratio of bcl-2/bax markedly increased （P〈0.05）, especially in the 24 hours subgroup.

文摘目的探讨黄酮类化合物芹菜素对大鼠实验性心肌缺血/再灌注(ischemia/reperfusion,I/R)时心肌细胞凋亡与Bcl-2、Bax、Caspase-3蛋白表达的影响,并分析心肌组织病理学损伤程度。方法采用结扎左冠状动脉前降支,心肌缺血45 min,再灌注2 h制作缺血/再灌注模型。将大鼠随机分为8组,即正常组(normal group,Normal)、假手术组(sham oper-ation group,Sham)、生理盐水缺血/再灌注组(saline ischemi-a-reperfusion group,NS)、溶剂对照组(solvent control group,Sol)、美托洛尔对照组(metoprolol control group,Meto)、芹菜素低、中、高剂量(1、2、4 mg.kg-1)用药组(apigenin low,medium and high dose treatment group,Api1,Api2,Api4)。再灌注2 h后迅速取出心脏,TUNEL法原位标记凋亡的心肌细胞;免疫组化法测Bcl-2、Bax和Caspase-3蛋白表达;做病理组织切片检查心肌损伤情况。结果芹菜素各剂量组心肌细胞凋亡率明显低于NS组(P<0.05),Api1,Api2,Api4能剂量依赖性地降低大鼠缺血/再灌注心肌细胞凋亡率;芹菜素各剂量组剂量依赖性地提高大鼠心肌缺血/再灌注的Bcl-2蛋白表达量(P<0.05)、降低大鼠心肌缺血/再灌注的Bax、Caspase-3蛋白表达量(P<0.05);芹菜素各剂量组与NS组比较,心肌组织损伤的病理学变化明显减轻(P<0.05)。结论芹菜素对缺血/再灌注心肌的保护效应可能与其抑制缺血/再灌注心肌细胞凋亡有关;芹菜素抗心肌凋亡作用的机制可能与其上调Bcl-2蛋白表达和下调Bax、Caspase-3蛋白表达有关;芹菜素能明显减轻心肌组织损伤。
