RESUMO
Objective To explore the expression and role of bromodomain-containing protein 4(BRD4) in spinal cord of mice which suffered inflammatory pain induced by formaldelryde solution. Methods Thirty-two ICR mice were randomly divided into normal saline group and formaldehyde injection 5 minutes, 30 minutes and 60 minutes groups, with 8 mice in each group. The expression of BRD4 protein and mRNA in spinal cord of mice in each group were detected by Western blotting (n = 4/group) and Real-time PCR (n = 4/group); 66 mice were randomly divided into formaldelryde injection group, vehicle (DMSO) plus formaldelryde injection group and 6. 25, 12. 5, 25 and 50 mg/kg JQl injection plus formaldelryde solution group, with 11 mice in each group. The effect of BRD4 inhibitor JQl on spontaneous pain in each group was observed (n= 11/group); Immunohistochemistry (n= 3/group), Real-time PCR (n = 4/group) or Western blotting (n= 4/group) were used to detect the effects of 25 mg/kg JQ1 on the expression of c-fos and glutamate receptor 2 (GluR2) in the spinal cord of model mice. Results The result showed that levels of BRD4 protein (P<0. 01) and mRNA in spinal cord increased significantly 30 min and 60 min after formaldehyde solution injection (P<0. 05). The behavioral test showed that both 25 mg/kg and 50 mg/kg JQf administration could reduce the second phase spontaneous pain compared with the solvent (DMSO) group (P < 0 . 05). Furthennore, immunohistochemistry and Real-time PCR result showed that 25 mg/kg JQf injection could significantly reduce positive numbers (P<0. 01) and high mRNA expression of c-fos in mouse spinal cord induced by formaldehyde solution (P < 0 . 05), and the Western blotting result showed that 25 mg/kg JQf administration could significantly reduce the expression of glutamate receptor GluR2 (P < 0. OOf). Conclusion BRD4 may play an important role in the induction of central sensitization of inflammatory pain, and JQf may alleviate inflammatory pain behavior by inhibiting the formation of central sensitization of pain.
RESUMO
Objective:To study protective effects of ranolazine preconditioning on myocardial ischemia reperfusion in-jury(MIRI)in rats.Methods:A total of 32 SD rats were randomly and equally divided into sham operation group, ischemia/reperfusion(I/R)group,low dose ranolazine group(low dose group)and high dose ranolazine group (high dose group).HR,SBP,DBP,left ventricular systolic pressure(LVSP),left ventricular diastolic pressure (LVDP),left ventricular pressure maximum rate of rise(+dp/dtmax),left ventricular pressure maximum rate of de-cline(-dp/dtmax),levels of CK-MB,LDH and cTnI,severity of myocardial infarction and ATP concentration were measured and compared among all groups.Results:Compared with sham operation group,there were significant re-ductions in LVSP[(119.35 ± 5.00)mmHg vs.(92.68 ± 2.95)mmHg vs.(100.60 ± 3.12)mmHg vs.(112.22 ± 3.69)mmHg],LVDP[(24.78 ± 1.71)mmHg vs.(17.26 ± 1.69)mmHg vs.(19.25 ± 1.05)mmHg vs.(22.18 ± 1.55)mmHg],+dp/dtmax[(3736 ± 102.37)mmHg/s vs.(3115 ± 112.72)mmHg/s vs.(3338 ± 51.88)mmHg/s vs.(3446 ± 37.99)mmHg/s],-dp/dtmax[(3634 ± 102.51)mmHg/s vs.(3015 ± 127.00)mmHg/s vs.(3239 ±37.36)mmHg/s vs.(3349 ± 45.49)mmHg/s]and ATP concentration[(22.54 ± 1.52)nmol/mg vs.(14.08 ± 1.80) nmol/mg vs.(16.88 ± 0.74)nmol/mg vs.(19.34 ± 0.88)nmol/mg],and significant rise in levels of CK-MB [(490.88 ± 168.04)U/L vs.(1259.0 ± 78.02)U/L vs.(1127.9 ± 127.23)U/L vs.(956.62 ± 105.22)U/L], LDH[(1494.9 ± 174.84)U/L vs.(2657.6 ± 104.33)U/L vs.(2293.9 ± 99.58)U/L vs.(1932.6 ± 134.25)U/L]and cTnI[(1.03 ± 0.14)ng/ml vs.(10.62 ± 1.34)ng/ml vs.(6.97 ± 1.32)ng/ml vs.(4.87 ± 0.79)ng/ml] in I/R group,low dose group and high dose group,P<0.01 all.Compared with I/R group,there were significant rise in LVSP,LVDP,+ dp/dtmax,-dp/dtmaxand ATP concentration,and significant reductions in levels of CK-MB,LDH and cTnI and MI severity[(0.5289 ± 0.0223)vs.(0.4887 ± 0.0089)vs.(0.4438 ± 0.0154)]in low dose group and high dose group(P<0.05 or <0.01),and those of high dose group were significantly better than those of low dose group(P< 0.05 or < 0.01).Conclusion:Ranolazine preconditioning possesses significant protective effect on MIRI,and it's dose-dependent.
