Effect of aconitine on serum zinc finger protein 41 and SPARC in ventricular septal defect model rats / 中国生化药物杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the effect of aconitine on serum zinc finger protein 41 and secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine in ventricular septal defect model rats.Methods 80 ventricular septal defect model rats were randomly divided into two groups, experimental group ( n=40) were treated with 0.05 mg/kg aconitine via tail vein injection for 7 consecutive days;control group (n=40) were treated with normal saline via tail vein injection for 7 consecutive days.Then, the abdominal aorta blood of each rat was collected, and the contents of zinc finger protein 41 and SPARC in two groups were detected by Western blot and ELISA method,seperately.Results Western blot results showed that the expression of zinc finger protein 41 and SPARC in serum samples of experimental group were significantly lower than that of control group ( P<0.05 ) .ELISA results showed that the contents of zinc finger protein 41 and SPARC of experimental group was significantly lower than that of control group ( P<0.05 ), respectively.Conclusion Aconitine can decrease the expression of serum zinc finger protein 41 and SPARC in ventricular septal defect model rat.
