Influence of collagenase with different degrees of activity on the isolation of rats' myocardiocytes / 解放军医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the influences of 4 kinds of collagenase with different degrees of activity on the survival rate,contraction and relaxation functions of isolated rats' myocardiocytes.Methods Rats' myocardiocytes were isolated by enzymolysis with 4 kinds of collagenase with different degrees of activity.The survival rate of myocardiocytes was observed immediately after isolation(D),one hour after loading with calcium(E time point) and 10 minutes after electric stimulation(F time point).The contraction and relaxation functions of myocardiocytes,including contraction amplitude(ph),the proportionality of ph/single cardiocyte length(bl),maximal velocity of contraction(+dL/dt) and maximal velocity of relaxation(-dL/dt),were measured with IonOptix video edge tracker.Results From 203U/mg to 299U/mg,with lowering of the activity of collagenase,the isolation time became longer,the survival rate of myocardiocytes declined 1 hour after loading calcium and 10 minutes after electric stimulation(P
