Abstract:

BACKGROUND: How to reduce the incidence and mortality of cardiovascular diseases is an urgent concern in the field of public health.
OBJECTIVE: To explore the influence of adenovirus-mediated NSF-siRNA release from vesoactive substance on the cardiac function of a rat model of myocardial infarction.
METHODS: A total of 36 adult Sprague-Dawley rats were applied to establish acute myocardial infarction models by ligating the anterior descending branch of the left coronary artery. After the model was determined by electrocardiogram successfully, NSF-siRNA adenovirus (experimental group), negative adenovirus (control group) and normal saline (normal saline group) were injected near the infarct area of the left ventricle of rats respectively. After 2 weeks, the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was tested with noninvasive ultrasonic cardiogram. Meanwhile, the left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) and maximum pressure rising speed of left ventricular (dp/dt max) were detected by connecting the right external carotid artery place pipe to the BL-420 biological function experiment system, to evaluate the cardiac function. Subsequently, the rat heart was harvested for serial sections to observe the infarcts range.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: After 2 weeks, the LVEF of the experimental group was increased remarkably  (P < 0.05), while the LVEDP of the experimental group was decreased evidently compared with the control group and normal saline group (P < 0.05), and the dp/dt max of the experimental group was significantly increased (P < 0.05). Furthermore, there were no significant differences in the infarct area among groups (P > 0.05). The local injection of adenovirus mediated NSF-siRNA expression vector in infarct part can improve the cardiac function indexes, including LEVF, LVEDP and dp/dt max 2 weeks after myocardial infarction, but it has no impact on the myocardial infarction area.
