Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effects of valsartan on expression of angiotensin Ⅱ receptors in different regions of heart after myocardial infarction(MI).Metbods Canines were divided into sham-operated control group(n=7),infarction group(n=7)and Valsartan group(10 mg·kg-1·day-1 for 4 weeks after MI operation,n=7).Four weeks after operation,Dopplor tissue imaging(DTI)was used to evaluate reglonal ventricular function in the noninfarcted myocardium(apical and basal near to the infarction region).The mRNA and protein expressions of angiotensin Ⅱ type 1 receptor(AT1-R)and angiotensin Ⅱ type 2 receptor(AT2-R)on the corresponding regions were detected by competitive reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction technique and immunohistochemical technique respectively.Results The protein and mRNA expressions of AT1-R were significantly increased in both apical and basal regions near to the infarction in dogs with MI compared with those in control group(P<0.05)which could be down-regulated by valsartan(P<0.05).AT2-R expressions were significantly upregulated in infarction group in both apical and basal regions compared with those in control group and valsartan further increased AT2-R expressions in both areas(P<0.05). Myocardial peak systolic velocity(Sm),myocardial peak early diastolic velocity(Em)and myocardial peak late diastolic velocity(Am)at both apical and basal regions near to the infarction regions were significantly lower in MI group than those in the control group which could be significantly improved by valsartan.Conclusion Both mRNA and protein expressions of AT1-R and AT2-R are upregulated in noninfarcted regions near MI,valsartan improved myocardial function via inhibiting AT1-R upregulation and enhancing AT2-R upregulation.
