Aim To investigate the effects of different dosage of atorvastatin postconditioning and its mechanisms on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in GK rat.Methods Seventy GK rats were randomly divided into seven groups(n=10 each): sham group,ischemia-reperfusion injury(I/R) group,different dosage of atorvastatin(0.1,0.5,1 and 2 mg/kg) postconditioning group,atorvastatin+LY294002.Myocardial infarct size(IS),ultrastructural change and myocardial expression of phosphorylated Akt/totalAkt were determined.Results Myocardial infarct size and ultrastructural damages were all reduced,myocardial Akt phosphorylation was significantly increased,and Akt was significantly activated in atorvastatin postconditioning group compared with I/R group.The effects were significant at 1 mg/kg and 2 mg/kg atorvastatin postconditioning group,and were significantly attenuated by PI3K inhibitor LY294002.Conclusion Atorvastatin postconditioning could dose-dependently alleviate myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in this type 2 diabetic model,which may probably be associated with the increase of the activating PI3K/Akt signaling pathway in the myocardium.
Objective To investigate the association of high mobility group box-1(HMGB-1) level with the left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF) in patients with acute coronary syndrome(ACS).Methods A total of 121 patients with ACS and 42 healthy controls were compared serum HMGB-1 level,LVEF,left ventricular end diastolic diameter(LVDD),left ventricular end systolic diameter(LVDS) and mitral valve E/A.Results Serum HMGB-1 level was significantly higher in ACS group than that in control group(P0.01).LVEF and mitral valve E/A were significantly lower,and LVDS was significantly longer in ACS group compared with control group(P0.05).HMGB-1 level was significantly and negatively correlated with LVEF(P0.01).Conclusion Serum HMGB-1 level can reflect the LVEF value,which helps to evaluate cardiac systolic function in patients with ACS.
Background and Objectives Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) can be alleviated by ischemia post-conditioning (IPC) and/or statin post-conditioning (SPC), and their combination. However, it is unclear how the cardio-protection works in impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) state since IGT significantly abolishes intrinsic myocardial self-protection, and if it does so, what mechanisms are involved in the process. This study aims to investigate the cardio-protective effects and possible mechanisms by combination of SPC and IPC in the IGT rats. Methods An IGT model was successfully created in 72 out of 117 male Wistar rats by injecting STZ, which were randomly allocated into six groups (n=12 per group): Sham group, treated with open chest operation but without myocardial ischemia as controls; I/R group, with ischemia 30 min and reperfusion 2 h in LAD territory but without other interventions; IPC group, treated with initial ischemia 30 min, then 3 consecutive runs of 10 s reperfusion/10s ischemia, and final reperfusion 2 h; SPC group, with initial ischemia 30 min, then pitavastatin (0.1 mg/kg) intravenously 3 min before reperfusion, and final reperfusion 2 h; ISPC group, with initial ischemia 30 min, then combination of three consecutive runs of 10 s reperfusion/10 s ischemia and pitavastatin 3 min before reperfusion, and final reperfusion 2 h; ISPC+LY294002 group, with initial ischemia 30 min, then combination of 3 consecutive runs of 10 s reperfusion/10 s ischemia, pitavastatin and PI3-K inhibitor LY294002 (0.3 mg/kg, intravenously) 3 and 15 mins before reperfusion, respectively. Results Compared with sham group, I/R group had larger infarct size (70.1±3.1% vs 0±0%, p<0.05), and higher mitochondria score (3.24±0.74 vs 0.00±0.00, p<0.05). Compared with I/R group, IPC group, SPC group, and ISPC group all reduced myocardial infarct size (p<0.05, each) and CK-MB level (p<0.05, each), alleviated mitochondria injuries (p<0.05, each), and enhanced PI3K activation by up-regulated expression of phosphorylate Akt (p<0.05, each) and phosphorylate eNOS (p<0.05, each). Compared with IPC and SPC groups, ISPC group further reduced myocardial infarct size (33.4±6.5% vs 45.3±4.6%, p<0.05; vs 43.2±4.1%, p<0.05), CK-MB level (p<0.05, each) and mitochondria score (1.23±0.68 vs 2.28±0.77, p<0.05; vs 2.33±0.79, p<0.05) with more activation of PI3K evidenced by higher expression of phosphorylate Akt (p<0.05, each) and eNOS (p<0.05, each). However, compared with IPC, SPC and ISPC groups, phosphorylated Akt expression and phosphorylation levels of eNOS was significantly lower or undetectable in ISPC+LY294002 group (p<0.05, each), indicating that PI3K inhibiter LY294002 could completely block the PI3K-Akt-eNOS signaling pathway, resulting in abolishment of cardio-protection induced by IPC, SPC and their combination. Conclusions The combination of pitavastain and ischemic postconditioning enhances the cardioprotection against myocardial ischaemia-reperfusion injury in impaired glucose tolerance rats, and PI3K-Akt-eNOS may be a major signaling pathway mediated this cardioprotection.
BACKGROUND:Angiographic coronary lesion complexity has been reported to predict plaque vulnerability. It is important to develop a noninvasive blood biomarker for accurate prognostication of angiographically complex lesions in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).HYPOTHESIS:Serum soluble lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1 (sLOX-1) levels may be correlated with coronary lesion complexity in patients with CAD.METHODS:We measured serum sLOX-1 levels in 180 consecutive patients undergoing coronary angiography for the evaluation of CAD. Coronary lesions were classified as simple or complex lesions based on coronary plaque morphology.RESULTS:Stable CAD patients with complex lesions (n=50) had significantly higher serum sLOX-1 levels than those with simple lesions (n=72), at 0.914 ng/mL (range, 0.489-1.296 ng/mL) vs 0.426 ng/mL (range, 0.195-1.075 ng/mL), respectively, P<0.01. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that sLOX-1 levels were independently associated with the presence of complex lesions in patients with stable CAD (odds ratio [OR]: 1.964, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.149-3.356, P<0.05). Among patients with acute coronary syndrome (n=58), who had significantly higher circulating sLOX-1 levels than stable CAD patients (n=122) at 1.610 ng/mL (range, 0.941-2.264 ng/mL) vs 0.579 ng/mL (range, 0.265-1.172 ng/mL), respectively, P<0.01, sLOX-1 levels were independently associated with the presence of multiple complex coronary lesions (OR: 1.967, 95% CI: 1.075-3.600, P < 0.05).CONCLUSIONS:Serum sLOX-1 levels were associated with complex lesions that might predict vulnerable plaques. This study suggested sLOX-1 might be a useful biomarker of coronary plaque vulnerability in patients with CAD.
Aim To assess whether levels of serum soluble lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1(sLOX-1) are correlated with angiographic coronary lesion complexity in patients with stable angina pectoris(SAP),and evaluate the value of sLOX-1 in early prediction of the vulnerable coronary atherosclerotic plaque. Methods Levels of sLOX-1 were measured in 108 stable angina pectoris patients(46 with simple coronary lesions and 62 with complex coronary lesions).Coronary lesions were classified as of simple or complex appearance.Gensini score system was used to measure the severity of coronary artery disease;Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was used to measure sLOX-1 levels. Results sLOX-1 levels were significantly higher in stable angina pectoris patients with complex coronary lesions1.12(0.34~1.68) μg/L,n=62] than those with simple lesions 0.28(0.14~0.64) μg/L,n=46](P<0.05).Polytomous Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that serum sLOX-1 level was independently associated with complex lesions(odds ratio 2.99,95%confidence interval 1.47 to 6.08,P=0.003).Pearman correlation analysis showed a positive correlation between log(sLOX-1) and log(Gensini Score)(correlation coefficient=0.458,P<0.05).1.10 μg/L is the critical value of serum sLOX-1 in the diagnosis of stable angina with sensitivity of 54.8% and specificity of 93.5%(P<0.05). Conclusion Serum sLOX-1 level is related to coronary lesion complexity in patients with stable angina pectoris which may be an independent risk factor for prediction of coronary plaque vulnerability and rupture.
