Effect of trimetazidine on expression of HSP70 and Mn-SOD after myocardial ischemia/reperfusion in rats / 中华老年心脑血管病杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the protective effect of trimetazidine pretreatment on myocardial I/R in a rat I/R model and its mechanism.Methods One hundred and twenty SD rats were divided into control group,I/R group,HSP70 inhibitor group,trimetazidine treatment group and combined treatment group (24 in each group).The rats in each group were further divided into 30 min reperfusion group,4 h reperfusion group and 8 h reperfusion group (8 in each group).Their HSP70-positive myocardial cells were calculated,their serum CK,CK-MB,MDA,SOD levels and their myocardial infarction size were measured.Results The serum CK and CK-MB levels were significantly higher in I/R group,HSP70 inhibitor group,trimetazidine treatment group and combined treatment group than in control group and were significantly lower in trimetazidine treatment group than in combined treatment group and I/R group after reperfusion for 4 and 8 h (P＜0.01).The serum levels of HSP70 and SOD were significantly higher,the MDA levels were significantly lower in trimetazidine treatment group than in combined treatment group and I/R group after reperfusion for 30 min,4 and 8 h (P＜0.01).The infraction size was significantly smaller in trimetazidine treatment group than in combined treatment group and I/R group after reperfusion for 4 and 8 h (P＜0.05).Conclusion Trimetazidine can increase the serum HSP70 level in myocardial cells,reduce the infarction size,and protect the myocardium against I/R in rats.
