[ABSTRACT]AIM:ToinvestigatethedifferenteffectsofERK1/2/PPARα/SCAD(short-chainacyl-CoAdehy-drogenase) signal pathways on the cardiac hypertrophy induced by insulin-like growth factors 1 ( IGF-1) or phenylephrine ( PE) .METHODS:The neonatal rat cardiomyocytes induced by IGF-1 were used as the model of physiological cardiac hypertrophy , and those induced by PE were used as the model of pathological cardiac hypertrophy .The surface area of the cardiomyocytes, the expression of p-ERK1/2, PPARαand SCAD, the activity of SCAD and the content of free fatty acid in the cardiomyocytes were measured .RESULTS:Compared with the control cells , the surface area of the cardiomyocytes in-duced by IGF-1 and PE were both increased .Compared with the controls , the expression of SCAD and PPARα, and the activity of SCAD in the cardiomyocytes induced by IGF-1 were increased , while the expression of p-ERK1/2 was de-creased.However, the cardiomyocytes treated with PE showed decreased expression of SCAD and PPARα, decreased activ-ity of SCAD and increased expression of p-ERK1/2.Meanwhile, the decrease in free fatty acid in IGF-1-induced cardio-myocytes and the increase in PE-induced cardiomyocytes indicated that the fatty acid utilization was increased in the cardio -myocytes induced by IGF-1, but decreased in the cardiomyocytes induced by PE .CONCLUSION: The changes of p-ERK1/2, PPARαand SCAD in the cardiac hypertrophy induced by IGF-1 or PE indicate that the effects of ERK 1/2/PPARα/SCAD signal pathways are different between physiological cardiac hypertrophy and pathological cardiac hypertro -phy , and that SCAD may be a molecular marker of these 2 different cardiac hypertrophies and a potential therapeutic target for pathological cardiac hypertrophy .

ObjectiveTo clarify the relationship between intestinal flora and intestinal motility in rats with slow transit constipation (STC) and qi stagnation syndrome by conducting a pseudo-sterile experiment and fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) technology. MethodsTwenty-four Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal group (n=6), STC with qi stagnation pattern group (n=6) and pseudo-sterile group (n=12). In the STC group with qi stagnation pattern, 3 mg/kg of loperamide suspension by intragastric administration combined with tail clamping stimulation were performed to establish the rat model of STC with qi stagnation pattern. After successful modeling, fresh feces from the rats in the STC with qi stagnation pattern group and the normal group were collected to prepare 100 mg/ml of fecal bacterial suspension. In the pseudo-sterile group, the antibiotic cocktail method was used (a mixed antibiotic suspension containing bacitracin, streptomycin sulfate, and neomycin sulfate at 20 mg/ml each was administered intragastrically) to establish pseudo-sterile rats model. After successful modeling, the rats were randomly divided into normal fecal bacterial liquid group and STC with qi stagnation pattern fecal bacterial liquid group, with six rats in each group, and then were given 10 ml/kg of the prepared corresponding rat fecal bacterial suspension by gavage. Rats in STC with qi stagnation pattern group were given an equal volume of sterile water by gavage. All groups were administered once a day for 7 consecutive days. The small intestinal propulsion rate of the STC with qi stagnation pattern group, the normal fecal bacterial liquid group, and STC with qi stagnation pattern fecal bacterial liquid group were compared. ELISA method was used to detect serum 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) levels. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the positive expression levels of 5-hydroxytryptamine 3 receptor (5-HT3R) and 5-hydroxytryptamine 4 receptor (5-HT4R) in colon tissue. Western blot method was used to detect the protein expression levels of tryptophan hydroxylase 1 (TPH1), tryptophan hydroxylase 2 (TPH2), serotonin transporter (SERT), and monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A) in colon tissue. ResultsCompared to those in the normal fecal bacterial liquid group, the small intestinal propulsion rate, serum 5-HT level, positive expression of 5-HT3R and 5-HT4R in colon tissue, and protein expression of TPH1, TPH2, SERT and MAO-A significantly decreased in the STC with qi stagnation pattern group and STC with qi stagnation pattern fecal bacterial liquid group (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the indicators between the STC with qi stagnation pattern group and STC with qi stagnation pattern fecal bacterial liquid group (P>0.05). ConclusionThe intestinal flora in STC rats with qi stagnation pattern can lead to a slowdown in intestinal transmission function, whose mechanism may be related to intestinal motility disorders affected by the synthesis, transport, metabolism and other pathways of 5-HT.
