Dynamic pathological changes of myocardial fibrosis in mice in an early stage of ventricular pressure overload
To investigate the dynamic pathological changes of myocardial fibrosis in an early stage of ventricular pressure overload in a mouse model of transverse aortic constriction (TAC).
Methods
2
Forty male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into the sham-operated group and 3 TAC groups for observation at 3
7
and 14 d after TAC (TAC3D
TAC7D and TAC14D groups
respectively). Cardiac function of the mice was examined with cardiac catheter measurement. The myocardial structure changes were evaluated based on the heart weight index and the myocardial cell diameter
and the changes in the myocardial fibers were observed with the Masson staining.
Results
2
Compared with those in the sham-operated group
the mice in the TAC groups showed no significant changes in the ejection fraction (
P
>
0.05)
but the heart-to-body weight ratio and myocyte width were increased obviously (the myocyte width in sham
TAC3D
TAC7D and TAC14D groups was 13.56 ± 0.24
18.02 ± 0.52
18.76 ± 0.96
and 21.20 ± 1.85 μm
respectively
P
<
0.05). Compared with that in the sham-operated group
the severity of perivascular fibrosis increased significantly in the TAC groups and exacerbated as the TAC time extended (the perivascular fibrosis area/vascular area ratios in the 4 groups were 0.18 ± 0.02
0.37 ± 0.02
1.22 ± 0. 08
and 2.05 ± 0.12
respectively
P
<
0.05).
Conclusion
2
Perivascular fibrosis is the major pathological finding in the early stage of ventricular pressure overload in mice and deteriorates progressively with the extension of TAC time.
