Selectively stimulating β1-adrenergic receptor attenuates rat myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury in vivo by inhibiting high mobility group box 1 protein release / 中华心血管病杂志

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate whether selectively stimulating β1-adrenergic receptor could inhibit high mobility group box 1 protein and attenuate myocardial ischemia/reperfusion(I/R) injury in rats.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Eighty healthy male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into seven groups: (1) Sham operated group (SO); (2) Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) group; (3) Dobutamine1 (5 µg×kg⁻¹ · min⁻¹) + I/R group; (4) Dobutamine2 (10 µg·kg⁻¹ × min⁻¹) + I/R group; (5) LY294002 (0.3 mg/kg) + Dobutamine2 + I/R group; (6) SB203580 (1 mg/kg) + Dobutamine2 + I/R group; (7) ZnPPIX (10 mg/kg) + Dobutamine2+I/R group. Rats were pretreated by saline, dobutamine, LY294002, SB203580 and ZnPPIX, respectively, then underwent myocardial I/R. Myocardial I/R injury and oxidative stress were assessed, and myocardial HO-1, NF-κB and HMGB1 expressions were measured by Western blot analysis.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Dobutamine significantly reduced the myocardial infarct size (P < 0.05), myocardial enzymes (LDH and CK) (P < 0.05) and proinfiammation cytokines (TNF-α and IL-6), reduced oxidative stress (MDA and SOD) in a dose-dependent manner (all P < 0.05). Meanwhile, dobutamine significantly and dose-dependently mediated the induction of HO-1 (P < 0.05), the expression of NF-κB (P < 0.05) and HMGB1 (P < 0.05). However, all the effects could be significantly reversed by co-treatment with LY294002, SB203580 and ZnPPIX (all P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Current study demonstrates that selectively stimulating β1-adrenergic receptor by dobutasmine could reduce rat myocardial I/R injury in vivo through promoting the induction of HO-1 and inhibiting HMGB1 release.</p>
