Effects and mechanisms of insulin postconditioning on myocardial protection in isolated rat hearts
Objective:To explore the effects and mechanisms of insulin postconditioning on myocardial protection in isolated rat hearts.Methods:32 Wistar rats were randomly divided intocontrol group
with 8 rats in each group.Langendorff and neely perfusion models were steadily established
then the rat hearts were arrested by cardioplegia(St.Thomas No.2 solution
STH-2)after perfusion for 30 min.These arrested hearts were remained for 30 min at 4℃and then underwent reperfusion for 60 min.In L-POST group and H-POST group
the arrested hearts were reperfused by Krebs-Henseleit buffer solution(K-H)with insulin.The content changes of myocardial eNOS and PKC were detected by immunohistochemistry and Western blo(tWB)
the AI(Apoptosis index
AI)of cardiomyocyte was detected by TUNEL.Results:Compared with control group
higher expression of eNOS and PKC and higher AI were detected in I/R group、L-POST group and H-POST group (P<0.05);compared with I/R group
higher expression of eNOS and PKC and lower AI were detected in L-POST group and H-POST group(P<0.05);compared with L-POST group
higher expression of eNOS and PKC
and lower xpression of AI were detected in H-POST group(P<0.05).Conclusion:The insulin postconditioning could protect heart from myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury
which might be associated with increased eNOS
PKC
and inhibited apoptosis.The effect of high dose insulin postconditioning is better than that of the low dose.
