摘要: 文题释义:
N-硝基-L-精氨酸甲酯诱导高血压:N-硝基-L-精氨酸甲酯诱发的高血压是公认的实验模型,其特征在于广泛的一氧化氮缺乏和长时间持续性血压升高,其确切的机制基于以下事实:L-精氨酸的结构类似物N-硝基-L-精氨酸甲酯以非酶水解代谢为活性形式Nω-硝基-L-精氨酸(L-NOARG),与内皮型一氧化氮合酶竞争性结合。内皮型一氧化氮合酶抑制作用减弱了一氧化氮的合成和代谢,一氧化氮是介导血管舒张的最小的气态细胞间信号分子。随后,一氧化氮缺乏会导致全身血管收缩和高血压。由于N-硝基-L-精氨酸甲酯模型可模拟人类的高血压,因此非常适合研究新药的心血管作用。
决明子:现代研究发现许多中药具有降压作用,决明子就是其中之一,而且作为国家卫生部首批公布的药食同源的中药品种之一,现已被市场开发成袋泡茶、滴眼液、决明子枕等多种形式。决明子为豆科植物决明Cassia obtusifolia L.或小决明C. tora L.的干燥成熟种子。始载于《神农本草经》,具有清肝明目、润肠通便的作用。决明子药理作用广泛,对许多疾病均有较好的治疗效果,具有良好的开发价值。

背景:高血压现代诊疗理念是通过降压治疗保护靶器官、改善临床症状与最大程度减少临床事件。决明子在动物实验和临床实践中有降压作用,但是其是否有助于改善高血压血管功能障碍、氧化应激和终末器官损害仍有待于进一步研究。
目的:评估决明子水提物对N-硝基-L-精氨酸甲酯诱导的高血压大鼠的降压功效。
方法:灌胃N-硝基-L-精氨酸甲酯构建高血压大鼠模型,然后给予决明子水提物[500 mg/(kg•d)]治疗,均连续灌胃4周,1次/d。每周测量1次血压、心率。最后一次灌胃给药24 h后,检测血清谷草转氨酶、谷丙转氨酶、尿素、血肌酐、脂质谱以及肝脏和肾脏中丙二醛、一氧化氮、还原型谷胱甘肽水平、血管紧张素转化酶活性。通过免疫组化和实时定量PCR分析大鼠肾脏组织中内皮型一氧化氮合酶、诱导型一氧化氮合酶蛋白及基因表达。
结果与结论:与高血压模型组相比,决明子水提物治疗4周有效降低了高血压大鼠的平均动脉压、舒张压、收缩压(P < 0.05),并改善肝脏和肾脏标志物、脂质分布和氧化状态。此外,决明子水提物显著降低了高血压大鼠肝脏和肾脏中血管紧张素转化酶活性(P < 0.05)。在决明子水提物处理的大鼠肾脏中,内皮型一氧化氮合酶的基因和蛋白表达均显著高于高血压模型组。以上结果表明,决明子水提物显示出相当大的降压潜力,其降压机制包括上调内皮型一氧化氮合酶表达、抗氧化和血管紧张素转化酶抑制作用。

Abstract: BACKGROUND: The concept of modern diagnosis and treatment of hypertension is to protect target organs, improve clinical symptoms and minimize clinical events through antihypertensive treatment. Cassia seed has an antihypertensive effect that has been confirmed in animal experiment and clinical practice, but whether it can improve the vascular dysfunction, oxidative stress and end organ damage of hypertension remains to be further studied. 
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the antihypertensive effect of cassia seed water extract on hypertensive rats induced by N-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester. 
METHODS: A rat model of hypertension was established by intragastric administration of N-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester to observe the changes of blood pressure and heart rate after the intervention of cassia seed aqueous extract (500 mg/kg per day), once a day, for 4 continuous weeks. Blood pressure and heart rate were measured once a week. At 24 hours after the final administration, serum levels of aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, urea and serum creatinine, and lipid mass spectrometry were detected by an automatic biochemical analyzer. Malondialdehyde, nitric oxide, reduced glutathione levels and angiotensin converting enzyme activity in rat liver and kidney were determined by corresponding assay kits. The expression levels of endothelial nitric oxide synthase and inducible nitric oxide synthase protein and gene in rat kidney tissues were examined by immunohistochemistry as well as real-time quantitative PCR. 
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with the model group, cassia seed aqueous extract treatment significantly reduced mean arterial pressure, diastolic pressure and systolic pressure (P < 0.05) in hypertensive rats, and improved liver and renal markers, lipid distribution and oxidative status. In addition, cassia seed aqueous extract significantly reduced the activity of angiotensin-converting enzyme in the liver and kidney of hypertensive rats (P < 0.05). The protein and mRNA expression levels of endothelial nitric oxide synthase in the kidney of rats treated with cassia seed aqueous extract were significantly higher than those of the model group. In conclusion, cassia seed water extract has shown considerable potential for antihypertension, and its anti-hypertension mechanism includes up-regulation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase expression, antioxidants and inhibition of angiotensin-converting enzymes.
