Résumé
AIM: The study aimed to observe the difference in hypertrophy responses in cardiomyocytes of cultured neonatal endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene knockout mice and wild mice by RNA quantitation detection and cell area estimation. METHODS: The experiment was performed at the Empirical Study Center of Medicine Department in Shunde Profession and Technique Institution in August 2007. ①Male or female C57BL/6 stock neonatal eNOS knockout mice and wild mice aged 1-3 days were selected. ②Cultivated Mouse cardiomyocytes were divided into experimental and control groups 72 hours later. Adrenergic receptor agonist phenylephrine was cultured with cardiomyocytes. DMEM of the same volume as the experimental group was added in the medium in the blank control group. ③DNA, RNA quantitation detection and cell area estimation methods was used to observe the responses contrast in cell proliferation and hypertrophy of cardiomyocytes in cultured neonatal eNOS gene knockout mice and wild mice. RESULTS: ①The oval or rhombus cardiomyocytes were observed 72 hours after phenylephrine incoporation under a microscope. ②RNA fluorescence value increased in cultured neonatal cadiomyocyte and collagenoblast in the experimental group compared to the control group (P
