Abstract:
Objective To explore the mechanism of lepirudine in inhibiting thrombin activation by regulating the Notch signaling pathway for the treatment of acute pulmonary embolism.Methods SD rats were randomly divided into sham group,model group and experimental group,with 10 rats in each group.Acute pulmonary embolism model was established by autologous thrombosis in model group and experimental group.Experimental group was intraperitoneally injected with lepiludine(2.0 mg·kg-1)at 24 h,0.5 h before and 24 h after modeling,respectively,while sham group and model group were intraperitoneally injected with 0.9％NaCl at the same time point.The contents of platelet P-selectin 62(CD62P),platelet granule membrane protein-140(GMP-140),N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP)and cardiac troponin T(cTnT)in rat plasma were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).The contents of thromboxane B2(TXA2)and prostacyclin(PGI2)in rat plasma were detected by RIA.The protein expression levels of Notch receptor protein 1(Notch1)and Notch ligand protein 1(JAGGED1)in lung tissue of rats were detected by Western blot.Results The plasma CD62P content in sham group,model group and experimental group were(9.31±1.31),(25.03±2.66)and(11.42±2.21)ng·mL-1;the contents of GMP-140 were(43.23±5.61),(114.33±14.02)and(73.44±6.97)ng·mL-1;the contents of NT-proBNP were(14.71±1.93),(20.57±3.46)and(11.07±3.06)ng·mL-1;cTnT content were(81.07±9.77),(233.24±27.61)and(134.76±15.00)pg·mL-1;TXA2 content were(231.06±17.33),(378.69±29.10)and(268.61±24.15)pg·mL-1;PGI2 content were(147.25±16.44),(104.37±11.62)and(136.09±13.40)pg·mL-1;the relative expression levels of Notch1 protein in lung tissue were 1.24±0.21,0.51±0.06 and 0.87±0.09;the relative expression levels of JAGGED1 protein were 1.02±0.15,0.17±0.02 and 0.28±0.06.Compared with sham group and experimental group,there were statistically significant differences in the above indexes in model group(P＜0.01,P＜0.001).Conclusion Lepirudine can inhibit thrombin activation in the treatment of acute pulmonary embolism by activating the Notch signaling pathway.
