ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the expression pattern of galectin-3 in heart failure rabbits after myocardial infarction and to explore the effect of galectin-3 on myocardial fibrosis and ventricular remodeling.Methods The left anterior descending coronary arterys of the rabbits were ligatured for model preparation.Twenty male rabbits were randomly divided into control group and experimental group.The control group was treated by thoracotomy.Cardiac function were detected by cardiac uhrasonography before and after 2,4,6 weeks.Serum samples were collected and galectin-3 level of the samples were further tested with ELISA before and after 2,4,6 weeks.The expression of myocardial fibrosis was detected by Masson staining in the experimental group and the control group at 6 weeks after operation.galectin-3 and collagen Ⅰ,collagen Ⅲ mRNA level of myocardial of the infracted zone were determinated via Real-Time PCR after 6 weeks operation.Calculate the ratio of collagen Ⅰ and collagenⅢ.Left ventricular mass were analysis and left ventricular hypertrophy index was calculated.Results Compared with the control group,the EF,EDD and LVPWD of the experimental group at 2,4 and 6 weeks after operation were significantly different(P < 0.01).Serum galectin-3 level of the experimental group more than control group (P <0.05).correlation analysis showed that serum galectin-3 level was negatively correlated with EF (r =-0.84,P =0.009),and positively correlated with EDD(r =0.905,P =0.020).The mRNA expression of galectin-3,collagen Ⅰ and collagen Ⅲ were significantly increased in the experimental group(P <0.01).The mRNA expression of galectin-3,collagen Ⅰ and collagenⅢ were all higher in the experimental group than that in the non-infarcted area (P < 0.01).The left ventricular mass and left ventricular hypertrophy index of the experimental group were significantly higher than control group (P < 0.01).Under the optical microscope,the myocardial cells in the experimental group were disordered,necrosis,edema,hypertrophy and thickening of myocardial fibers.Microvascular wall thickening and visible around a large number of blue-green collagen fibers and surrounded by segmented myocardial cells,myocardial interstitial fibrosis,collagen deposition and accompanied by a large number of inflammatory cell infiltration.Conclusion Galectin-3 reflects the degree of myocardial fibrosis in heart failure,and is involved in the pathophysiology of ventricular remodeling,but the mechanism remains unclear.
