Abstract:
Aim To explore the effect of Procyanidin from Vaccinium(PC) on the myocardial fibrosis and its mechanism.Methods The model of myocardial fibrosis in rats was built by subcutaneous injection of isoprenaline(Iso) for 5 mg?kg-1?d-1 in vivo.Meanwhile,rats were treated with PC 100,200 and 400 mg?kg-1?d-1 by gastrointestinal administration.The contents of hydroxyproline(Hyp),malondialdehyde(MDA) and the activity of superoxide dismutase(SOD) in left ventricle were assayed with spectrophotometry respectively.Changes of myocardial ultrastructure were observed by electronic microscope.The cultured neonatal rat CFb was isolated by trypsin digestion method.The proliferation of CFb was induced by Angiotensin Ⅱ and assessed by thiazolyl blue(MTT) assay.PC was added in different dosage(25,50 and 100 mmol?L-1).Ⅰ,Ⅲ collagen quantification and TGF-?1 levels were determined by the ELISA.Results In vivo,compared with model group,the contents of hydroxyproline and malondialdehyde of left ventricle were significantly reduced and the activity of superoxide dismutasein left ventricle was markedly enhanced in PC three groups(P
