ABSTRACT
Objective To study the role of adiponectin (ADP) postconditioning on myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury (MIRI) in rats .Methods SD rats were divided randomly into 3 groups :⑴Group Sham were processed identically except the left anterior descending coronary artery(LAD) and was not ligated;⑵ Group MIRI were subjected to LAD occlusion for 30 min and reperfusion for 120 min;⑶ Group ADP were subjected to ADP injection before reperfusion .The titer of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) ,cardiac troponin I(cTnI) and malondialdehyde(MDA)in plasma were observed .The levels of superoxide dismutase(SOD) and malondialdehyde(MDA)in myocardial tissue were observed .The results of HE staining and electrocardiograms(ECG) was ob‐served .Results Compared with Group Sham ,LDH ,cTnI and MDA in plasma in Group MIRI increased (P<0 .05);Compared with Group MIRI ,LDH ,cTnI and MDA in plasma in Group ADP declined (P<0 .05);Compared with Group Sham ,SOD decreased and MDA increased in myocardial tissue in Group MIRI (P<0 .05);Compared with Group MIRI ,SOD increased and MDA decreased in myocardial tissue in Group ADP (P<0 .05) .The myocardial injury was serious in Group MIRI while it was lightened in Group ADP .There were acute ischemia ECG change in Group MIRI while it was slight in Group ADP .Conclusion ADP postconditioning is a protective factor against MIRI in rats ,it is related to eliminating free radicals and alleviating the damage of lipid peroxidation .
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effects of the adult T cell leukemia virus type 1(HTLV-1) Tax protein on T lymphocytes self-reactive growth hormone(GH). Methods The expression of the growth hormone protein was measured by Western blot in TaxP and TaxN cells, which expresses HTLV-1 Tax or no. The location of growth hormone in the TaxP and TaxN cells were detected by LSCM(laser scanning confocal microscope). The level of growth hormone mRNA in TaxP and TaxN cells was measured by RT-PCR. The pGL2-GH-luc was transfected in TaxN and TaxP cells by Tfx-50-mediated transfection to assay transcriptional activity. The pNF-κB-luc, pAP-1-luc and pNFAT-luc was transfected into TaxP cells with pcDNA3.0-GH by Tfx50 to test bioactivity of the nuclear transcription factors. Results The mRNA and protein expression of GH could be promoted significantly by Tax. Relative to the TaxN cells, the transcriptional activity of GH was significantly increased about 6.37 times in TaxP cells(P＜0.05). Overexpression of GH can increase the activity of NF-κB about 1.7 times in TaxP cells (P＜0.05). Conclusion GH maybe involve in adult T-cell leukemia(ATL) through activating NF-κB.
