Changes of angiotensin conversion enzyme 2 expression in right ventricular of adult rat in adapting to hypoxia
Objective To investigate the effects of hypoxia on the angiotensin conversion enzyme 2(ACE2) mRNA and protein expressions in rat right ventricle. Methods Forty male adult Sprague Dawley(SD)rats
raised both under normoxia and hypoxia environment (simulating the altitude 5000 meters
23 h per day) were divided randomly into 4 groups: the control group
the 1-day hypoxia group
the 3-day hypoxia group and the 30-day hypoxia group. Pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP)
right ventricular function
ventricular weight index were detected in all rats. ACE2 mRNA and protein of right ventricle were measured by RT-PCR and Western blot. Results PAP
RVSP were increased significantly in hypoxia groups compared with those in the control group. Right ventricular hypertrophy and right ventricular function
ACE2 mRNA and ACE2 protein synthesis in right ventricle were increased accordingly after 30-day exposure to hypoxia (P0.01). Conclusion ACE2 mRNA of the right ventricule and ACE2 protein synthesis were increased under hypoxia environment
suggesting that ACE2 may play a role in hypoxic adaptation of the heart.
