ABSTRACT
@#ObjectiveTo assess the safety of intramyocardium injection of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA2a) to rescue chronic heart failure beagles. MethodsThe heart failure beagles were assessed with myocardium enzymology, cAMP content of myocardium, myocardial oxygen consumption, arrhythmia, systemic inflammation factors, and the function of liver and kidney after SERCA2a gene transferred. ResultsThere were no increase of cAMP content, no more arrhythmia, myocardial oxygen consumption, no apparente systemic inflammation, and no injures to hepatic and renal function. ConclusionOverexpression of SERCA2a by intramyocardium injection is relatively safe.
