ABSTRACT

PURPOSE:

To investigate the effect of renal denervation (RDN) on the blood pressure, left ventricular hypertrophy and myocardial expression of TLR4/NF-κB in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR).

METHODS:

A total of 36 SHR were randomly assigned into control group (D0), RDN group (D) and sham group (S). 12 WKY rats of same age served as controls (WKY group). Rats in the D0 and WKY groups were sacrificed, but rats in the D and S group were sacrificed at one week and six weeks after surgery. The heart was collected and the left ventricle weighted followed by calculation of left ventricular mass index (LVMI).

RESULTS:

In the D0 group, the blood pressure, LVMI and protein expression of TLR4, NF-κB, TNF-α and IL-6 in the myocardium were markedly higher than that in the WKY group (p<0.05). In the D1 and D2 group, the LVMI, NE and protein expression of TLR4, NF-κB, TNF-α and IL-6 in the myocardium were significantly reduced (p<0.05).

CONCLUSION:

Renal denervation can significantly delay the progression of left ventricular hypertrophy in spontaneously hypertensive rats, which may be attributed to the not only the suppression of sympathetic activity and attenuation of pressure load but the improvement of myocardial immuno-inflammation.
RESUMO

OBJETIVO:

Investigar o efeito da denervação renal na pressão sanguínea, na hipertrofia do ventrículo esquerdo e a expressão miocárdica de TLR4/NF-kB em ratos espontaneamente hipertensos.

MÉTODOS:

Trinta e seis SHR ratos foram aleatoriamente distribuídos em grupo controle, grupo denervação renal (D) e grupo sham(S). 12 WKY ratos de mesma idade serviram de controle. Os ratos controles foram sacrificados, mas os ratos com denervação renal e sham foram sacrificados uma semana e seis semanas após a cirurgia. O coração foi retirado e o ventrículo esquerdo pesado seguido pelo cálculo da massa ventricular (LVMI).

RESULTADOS:

No grupo DO, a pressão sanguínea, LVMI e a expressão proteica de TLR4, NF-κB, TNF-α e IL-6, no miocárdio foram marcadamente maiores do que o grupo WKY (p<0,05). Nos grupos D1 e D2, o LVMI, NE e a expressão proteica de TLR4, NF-κB, TNF-α e IL-6 no miocárdio foi significantemente reduzido (p<0,05).

CONCLUSÃO:

A denervação renal pode significantemente retardar a progressão da hipertrofia ventricular esquerda em ratos espontaneamente hipertensos, o que pode ser atribuído não apenas pela supressão da atividade simpática e atenuação da pressão, mas pela melhora na imunoinflamação miocárdica.
