ABSTRACT
Objective: To explore the impact of knocking out wildtype p53 phosphatase 1 gene on heart function with the changes of cardiac tissue mRNA and protein expressions in experimental mice. Methods: Our research included in 2 groups: Wildtype (WT) mice group and Wip1 knockout (Wip1-KO) mice group. n=10 in each group. The heart function, ratio of heart weight to body weight (HW/BW) were examined and compared between 2 groups; cardiac tissue morphology was observed by HE staining; mRNA expressions of ANP, BNP, MCP-1 andα-SMA were determined by RT-PCR and protein expressions of Bcl-2, Bax and c-caspase3 were measured by Western blot analysis. Results: Compared with WT mice group, Wip1-KO mice group showed decreased Wip1 mRNA expression,P0.05; apoptosis related protein expressions of Bax/Bcl-2 and c-caspase3 were similar between 2 groups,P>0.05. Conclusion: Wip1 gene knockout may impair the heart function in experimental mice, while the relevant mechanism should be further investigated.
