Abstract

Abstract:

Objective To observe the effect of the peptide compound urantide on the expression of type Ⅰ collagen (Col Ⅰ) in the heart tissue of rats with atherosclerosis (As), and to explore its mechanism of prevention and treatment of heart damage in As rats. Methods Sixty healthy male 3-week-old SPF Wistar rats were selected. The As model was established by intraperitoneal injection of vitamin D3 (VD3) to damage the arterial intima and high-fat diet. They were randomly divided into normal group, As model group, simvastatin group and urantide (3 days, 7 days, 14 days) groups. HE staining and Masson trichrome staining were used to observe the morphology and collagen fiber expression of rat hearts. Immunohistochemistry, Western blotting and Real-time PCR were used to detect the expression of Col Ⅰ protein and gene in rat heart. Results Compared with the normal group, pathological phenomena such As myocardial cell degeneration, intercellular infiltration of a large number of neutrophils, scattered foam cells and hyperemia and hemorrhage were observed in the heart tissues of the As model group. Meanwhile, collagen fibers increased, and the gene and protein expression levels of Col Ⅰ increased. Compared with the As model group, the cardiac pathological phenomena were effectively alleviated after the treatment with urantide. With the extension of the administration time, the collagen fibers decreased, and the gene and protein expression levels of Col Ⅰ were gradually dow-regulated, especially the effect was the best when the drug was given for 14 days. Conclusion Urantide can inhibit the expression of Col Ⅰ in As heart to reduce myocardial interstitial damage, and has a protective effect on the heart of As rats.
