摘要

目的:探讨氯喹(chloroquine,CQ)对血管紧张素II(angiotensin II,AngII)诱导的小鼠血管重塑的作用及可能机制。方法:将32只8周龄雄性C57 BL/6小鼠随机分为4组,分别为对照组、AngII处理组、AngII+CQ低剂量组及AngII+CQ高剂量组,每组8只。对照组不做任何处理,AngII组通过皮下埋置微渗透泵持续给予AngII,剂量为490 ng/(kg·min)。AngII+CQ低剂量及高剂量组小鼠在接受AngII基础上,按10 mg/(kg·d)及50 mg/(kg·d)剂量每天腹腔注射CQ。各组处理时间均为28 d。分别在第0,3,7,14,21及28天用尾套法测定各组小鼠血压及心率。在第28天时处死小鼠,取主动脉,采用HE染色及Masson染色评价主动脉血管重塑情况。采用Western印迹检测主动脉I型、III型胶原蛋白(collagen I/III)及自噬通路分子(LC3B-II与P62)表达。结果:与对照组相比,AngII处理组小鼠血压升高,主动脉管壁增厚,主动脉发生明显纤维化,collagen I/III表达增加,自噬发生标志LC3B-II表达增加,自噬底物P62表达降低。与AngII处理组相比,CQ低剂量及高剂量处理组小鼠血压降低,主动脉管壁变薄,纤维化减轻,collagen I/III表达减少,LC3B-II及P62表达均增加;并且CQ高剂量组较低剂量组上述各指标的改变程度更大。结论:CQ可剂量依赖性地抑制AngII诱导的小鼠主动脉重塑,其机制可能与抑制自噬过度激活有关。

Abstract

Objective: To investigate the effect and potential mechanism of chloroquine (CQ) in angiotensin II (AngII) induced murine vascular remodeling. Methods: A total of 32 male C57 BL/6 mice aged 8 weeks were randomly divided into a control group, an AngII group, an AngII + low-dose CQ and an AngII + high-dose CQ (8 mice for each). Control group was left untreated. AngII group received 490 ng/(kg·min) AngII by subcutaneously imbedded osmotic pump. AngII + low-dose and AngII high-dose CQ group were injected intraperitoneally with 10 mg/(kg·d) and 50 mg/(kg·d) CQ respectively based on AngII treatment for 28 days. Mouse blood pressure and heart rate were monitored by using tail-cuff method on day 0, 3, 7, 14, 21 and 28. On day 28, all the mice were sacrificed to collect aortas for H&E and Masson’s staining to access aortic remodeling. Western bolt was performed to detect expression of collagen I/III and autophagy related molecules (LC3B-II and P62). Results: Compared with control group, AngII group presented with elevated blood pressure, thickened aortic vessel wall, significant aortic fibrosis, increased collagen I/III expression, increased autophagic indicator LC3B-II expression and decreased autophagy substance P62. In contrast to AngII group, both low-dose and high dose CQ treatment produced lower blood pressure, thinned aortic vessel, alleviated fibrosis, lowered collagen I/III, more LC3B-II and P62 abundance. Moreover, high-dose CQ treatment showed better improvement than low-dose CQ treatment in terms of all the measurements mentioned above. Conclusion: CQ inhibited AngII induced murine aortic remodeling in a dose dependent manner, which might be mediated through inhibiting over-activated autophagy.
