Molecular hydrogen has been shown to have antioxidant effect and have been used to prevent oxidative stress-related diseases. The goal of this study was to explore if hydrogen-rich saline (HRS) plays a cardioprotective effect on abdominal aortic constriction (AAC) induced cardiac hypertrophy in rats. 60adult Sprague-Dawley rats received surgically the AAC for 6-week. After the surgery, the rats were randomly divided into 4 groups (15 for each):1: sham-operated (sham); 2: AAC-model; 3: AAC + Low HRS (LHRS); and 4: AAC + High HRS (HHRS). The rats in sham and AAC-model groups were treated with normal saline intraperitoneally, while rats in LHRS and HHRS groups were intraperitoneally treated with 3 or 6 mL/kg HRS daily, respectively, for 6-week.
The ratios of HW/BW and LVW/BW were shown in an order of Model > LHRS > HHRS > SHAM groups. The cardiac hypertrophy was also manifested with increased expressions of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), brain natriuretic peptides (BNP) and fibrosis of cardiac tissues in AAC-model group, which could likewise be restrained in LHRS and HHRS groups. Moreover, the JAK-STAT (Janus Kinase-Signal transducers and activators of transcription) signaling molecule expressions were decreased with HRS treatment.
Our results showed a protective effect of HRS on pressure overload-induced cardiac hypertrophy in rats, which may be associated to a decreasing in JAK-STAT signaling pathway.
分子氢已被证明具有抗氧化作用,并已用于预防与氧化应激相关的疾病。本研究的目的是探讨富氢盐水(HRS)对大鼠腹主动脉缩窄(AAC)诱导的心脏肥大是否具有心脏保护作用。60只成年Sprague-Dawley大鼠接受了为期6周的AAC手术。手术后,将大鼠随机分为4组(每组15只):1:假手术组(sham);2:AAC模型组;3:AAC + 低剂量HRS组(LHRS);4:AAC + 高剂量HRS组(HHRS)。假手术组和AAC模型组大鼠腹腔注射生理盐水,而LHRS组和HHRS组大鼠分别每天腹腔注射3或6 mL/kg HRS,持续6周。
HW/BW和LVW/BW的比值呈现出模型组> LHRS组> HHRS组>假手术组的顺序。心脏肥大还表现为AAC模型组中心房利钠肽(ANP)、脑利钠肽(BNP)表达增加以及心脏组织纤维化,而LHRS组和HHRS组同样可以抑制这些变化。此外,HRS治疗可降低JAK-STAT(Janus激酶-信号转导子和转录激活子)信号分子的表达。
我们的结果表明,HRS对大鼠压力超负荷诱导的心脏肥大具有保护作用,这可能与JAK-STAT信号通路的降低有关。
