ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate right ventricular ( RV ) function in male rats with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) induced by Monocrotaline (MCT) and discuss the effect of 17β-estradiol (E2) on RV function in PAH rats . Methods Thirty-two male SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups( n =8)MCT group ,MCT+E2 group ,MCT+Veh group and control group . MCT group ,MCT +E2 group and MCT+Veh group were given monocrotaline through intraperitoneal injection . MCT + E2 group and MCT+Veh group were also treated with E2 and placebo at the same time respectively . Echocardiography was performed four weeks later after MCT injection . Right heart catheterization was performed after echocardiography . Echocardiography right ventricular function parameters includedtricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) ,RV index of myocardial performance (RIMP) ,right ventricular fractional area change ( RVFAC) ,tissue Doppler-derived tricuspid lateral annular systolic velocity ( s′) and right ventricular free wall longitudinal strain ( RVLSFW ) . Results Compared with control group ,TAPSE ,RVFAC and RVLSFW decreased ,and RIMP increased in MCT group ,( P <0 .001 , P <0 .001 , P <0 .001 , P =0 .001 , P <0 .001 ,respectively) . TAPSE ,RVFAC and RVLSFW in MCT+ E2 group were higher and RIMP was lower than those in MCT group ( P < 0 .001 , P = 0 .001 , P = 0 .001 , P = 0 .002 , P = 0 .002 , respectively) . The parameters regarding RV function were slightly lower in MCT + E2 group ,compared with control group . However , these differences had no obvious statistical significance ( P > 0 .05 ) . Moreover ,Pearson correlation analysis showed that the serum E2 level was positively correlated with TAPSE ,RVFAC ,s′and RVLSFW ( r =0 .845 , P <0 .001 ;r =0 .859 , P <0 .001 ;r =0 .802 , P =0 .006 , respectively) ,and negatively correlated with RIPM ( r = -0 .803 , P <0 .001) . Conclusions RV function in male PAH rats induced by MCT decreased significantly ,while E2 could improve RV function in PAH rats and has a protective effect on RV function . Echocardiography could contribute to the quantitative evaluation of RV function in PAH rats induced by MCT .
