Effect of simvastatin on RhoA expression and cardiac remodeling with in acute myocardiac infarction rats
Objective To investigate the effects of simvastatin on the abatement of the mRNA
protein expression of RhoA and the improvement of the cardiac remodeling and cardiac disfunction after the myocardiac infarction in rats. Methods Rats were divided into 3 groups: the control group
the myocardiac infarction group and Simvastatin intervened group. After 8 weeks
cardiac weight index and hemodynamics were observed
mRNA and protein expression of RhoA in cardiac muscles was measured. Results Compared with the control group
the cardiac weight index and the mRNA and protein expression were increased in rats with myocardiac infarction and the hemodynamics was worsened (P0.01) while compared with the group with simvastatin intervention
the cardiac weight index and the hemodynamics were improved and the mRNA and expression of RhoA was decreased (each P0.01). Conclusion Simvastatin abates the mRNA and protein expression of RhoA
which may be one of the mechnisms in the improvement of the cardiac remodeling and cardiac disfunction after acute myocardiac infarction.
