摘要
目的探讨糖尿病小鼠心肌组织Krüppel样因子4(KLF4)表达及通心络(TXL)对其干预作用。方法 KK/Upj-Ay小鼠40只,随机分为糖尿病模型组、TXL低、中、高剂组,每组10只,另设C57BL/6(C57)小鼠10只作为对照组。按照分组给予不同剂量处理因素,疗程3个月,测定各组空腹血糖(FBG)、糖化血红蛋白(Hb A1c)、甘油三酯(TG)、总胆固醇(TC),空腹胰岛素(FINS)、计算胰岛素抵抗指数(HOMA-IR);放射免疫法测定各组血清TNF-α、IL-6水平;HE染色观察心肌组织病理变化;Real time-PCR和Western blot测定心肌组织KLF4 m RNA和蛋白表达;Western blot测定心肌组织核因子-κB(nuclear factor kappa B,NF-κB)核蛋白表达。结果与对照组比较,模型组FBG、Hb A1c、TG、TC、FINS、HOMA-IR及TNF-α、IL-6水平明显增高,KLF4 m RNA和蛋白表达明显降低,NF-κB核蛋白表达明显升高(P<0.01),通心络胶囊能够明显减轻心肌组织病理损伤,降低FINS、TG、TC、HOMA-IR、TNF-α、IL-6水平及NF-κB核蛋白表达,同时上调KLF4表达(P<0.05),但不影响FBG、Hb A1c(P>0.05)。结论 KLF4可能参与了糖尿病心肌病的发生发展。通心络胶囊可减轻糖尿病心肌病理损伤及改善心功能,其机制可能与上调KLF4表达及抑制NF-κB炎症信号通路的激活有关。
Aim To observe the expressions of KLF4 in the myocardium of diabetic mice and their changes under Tongxinluo capsule intervention. Methods Forty KK / Upj-Ay mice were randomly divided into diabetic model group( n = 10) and diabetic model with Tongxinluo( TXL low,middle,high) groups( n = 10,respectively). C57 BL /6 mice were selected as control group(n = 10). At the end of the 3th month the mice were sacrificed and were weighed. The fasting blood-glucose(FBG),glycosylated hemoglobin(Hb A1c),triglyceride(TG),total cholesterol( TC) and insulin( FINS) were measured to calculate HOMA-IR. Radioimmunoassay was used to measure serum TNF-α and IL-6. The pathological changes in the myocardium of mice were observed by HE staining. KLF4 m RNA was examined by Real-time PCR,while KLF4 and NF-κB protein were measured by Western blot. Results Compared to the control group,FBG,Hb A1 c,TG,TC,FINS,HOMA-IR,TNF-α and IL-6 in model group were markedly increased; the expressions of myocardial KLF4 were markedly decreased and the expression of nuclear NF-κB protein were markedly increased( P < 0. 01).Tongxinluo capsule could significantly reduce myocardial pathological damage,FINS,TG,TC,TNF-α,IL-6level and the expression of nuclear NF-κB protein and up-regulate the expression of KLF4( P < 0. 05),but had no effect on FBG and Hb A1c( P > 0. 05). Conclusions KLF4 may be involved in the development of myocardial injury during diabetes. Tongxinluo capsule can ameliorate the myocardial damage and improve the function of diabetic myocardium by up-regulating the expression of KLF4 and inhibiting the activation of NF-κB inflammatory signal pathway.
