Effect of trimetazidine on expression of Ito channel a subunit in ischemic myocardium of rat
Objective:To investigate the effects of trimetazidine on serum FFA and the expressions of transient outward current(Ito) channel a subunits-Kv1.4
Kv4.2 and Kv4.3 of right ventricule after acute myocardial infarction(AMI) in rats.Methods:Sprague-Dawley rats AMI model was induced by ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery
and then 26 AMI rats were randomly and equally divided into AMI group and trimetazidine group(60 mg/(kg·d) for 4 weeks by gavage).Another 10 rats served as sham operation group.Colorimetry was used to measure the serum FFA.Real-time PCR and Western blotting were used to measure the mRNA and protein expressions of Kv1.4
Kv4.2 and Kv4.3 in the heart muscles of each group.Results:The mRNA and protein expressions of Kv1.4
and the content of FFA were up-regulated in AMI group compared with sham operation group.The mRNA and protein expressions of Kv4.2 and Kv4.3 were down-regulated in AMI group compared with sham operation group.The expression of Kv1.4 and the content of FFA in trimetazidine group were decreased compared with AMI group.The mRNA and bprotein expressions of Kv4.2 and Kv4.3 were increased compared with AMI group.Conclusion:The expression of Kv1.4 and the content of FFA were up-regulated
and Kv4.2
Kv4.3 were down-regulated in myocardial infarction rats.Trimetazidine may reverse the changes of expression of Ito channel a subunit.
