Abstract:
:The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) on myocardial apoptosis and cardiac function recovery in rats with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and the mechanism of the Toll-like receptor (TLR)-4/nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway. A total of 64 healthy male F344 rats were randomly divided into the sham operation, model, SDF-1 intervention and SDF-1 antibody groups, with 16 rats in each group. The method of Olivette was used to establish the AMI model by ligation of the left anterior descending artery. Day 1 after establishing the animal model, the rats in the SDF-1 intervention group were injected with 10 µl recombinant SDF-1 (400 ng/ml) in five regions including the myocardial infarction area and the four surrounding areas. The rats in the model group were injected with 10 µl normal saline including the myocardial infarction area and the four surrounding areas, and those in the SDF-1 antibody group were injected with 1 ml SDF-1 antibody (2 µg/ml). Four rats were sacrificed after 1, 3, 7 and 14 days after the intervention, and the analysis was carried out. TUNEL in situ labeled apoptotic cells were used for cell counting, and immunohistochemical staining was performed to measure vascular density. The animal echocardiographic measurement was for the left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDd), left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVESd), left ventricular fractional shortening (FS) and ejection fraction (EF) values. The results showed that the number of apoptotic cells in the SDF-1 treatment group was significantly lower than those in the other groups at each time-point. The vessel densities in the 3-14 days were significantly greater than those in other groups. At each time-point, the LVEDd and LVESd values were smaller compared with the model group, but greater than the sham operation group and decreased over time. FS and EF values were higher than those in the model group at each time-point, but less than those of the sham operation group and increased over time. The expression levels of TLR-4 and NF-κB at each time-point were significantly higher than those of the remaining groups (p<0.05). In conclusion, SDF-1 is capable of decreasing the apoptosis of cardiac muscle cells in AMI, promoting angiogenesis and improving cardiac function, which may be associated with the activation of the TLR-4/NF-κB signaling pathway.
