ABSTRACT
Objective AMI is a prevalent global health condition.This study assessed the effects of PLGF and VEGF in a rat model of post-AMI.Methods Wistar rats underwent LAD ligation and injection of VEGF,PLGF,VEGF + PLGF,antiVEGFR1,anti-VEGFR2,anti-VEGFR1 + anti-VEGFR2,IgG2α,or saline,into the infarct border zone.We also set up a pseudo-operation group.Two weeks later,heart function was detected by hemodynamic and geometry,then the hearts were dis sected and HE stained.We assessed vW factor and α-SMA by immunohistochemistry and cardiomyocyte apoptosis rate by TUNEL.Results Rats in the VEGF + PLGF group performed significantly well in cardiac function,had weaker LV remodeling and less cardiomyocyte apoptosis.There were no obvious changes in VEGF group.The use of VEGFR1/VEGFR2 antibody didnt deteriorate the rat's cardiac function.More new-born arteries were seen in PLGF and VEGF + PLGF rats,and change wasnt found in other groups.Lastly,the most angiogenesis,the least left ventricular remodeling and the best heart function were observed in VEGF + PLGF group.Conclusion Earlier intervention with PLGF or VEGF + PLGF can improve heart function in rats with AMI; VEGF alone didnt improve heart function.VEGFR1/VEGFR2 antibody didnt aggravate the rat's heart function.This indicates that left ventricular and coronary remodeling may involve other factors.
