| Objective:The purpose of this study to further explore the expression of cardiac NHE1 mRNA and myocardial fibrosis in the effort failure probably happened in the development of the role and significance by measuring myocardial tissue in patients with heart failure and NHE1mRNA expression in peripheral blood of patients with target-related myocardial fibrosis(Pâ… CP,Pâ…¢NP and ET).Methods:35 patients with heart failure were enrolled in our study,The basis of NYHA classification standards,the above-mentioned cases will be divided into cardiac function classâ… ï½žâ…¢three groups,one of YHAâ… group of 11 cases, NYHAâ…¡group of 12 cases,NYHAâ…¢group of 12 cases.The right atrial tissue samples were taken from 25 patients with cardiac surgery.The mRNA amounts of NHE1 were studied by Real-time Fluorescence Quantitative PCR(FQ-PCR) method. The concentrations of plasma levels of endothelin(ET),serum levels of carboxyterminal propeptide of typeâ… procollagen(Pâ… CP) and aminoterminal propeptide of typeâ…¢procollagen(Pâ…¢NP) were measured by radioimmunoassay (RIA) in35 patients of heart failure and 25 controls.Results:1.Compared with NYHAâ… group,the mRNA amounts of NHE1 in NYHAâ…¡group and NYHAâ…¢group were significantly higher(P<0.01).at the same time, Compared with NYHAâ…¡group,the NHE1 mRNA level in NYHAâ…¢group was higher,and therewas statistically significant difference(P<0.05).the level of NHE1 mRNA was up-regulated significantly with cardiac function class classified by New York Heart Association.2.The levels of endothelin(ET),carboxyterminal propeptide of typeâ… procollagen(Pâ… CP) and aminoterminal propeptide of typeâ…¢procollagen(Pâ…¢NP) in group of HF were significantly higher than the control group(P<0.01).at the same time,the levels of ET,Pâ… CP and Pâ…¢NP were up-regulated significantly with cardiac function class classified by New York Heart Association.By one-way ANOVA,ET, Pâ… CP,Pâ…¢NP expression in the all group have a difference,and there is statistical significance(F=8.99,P<0.01;F=8.372,P<0.01;F=10.11,P<0.01).Compared with NYHAâ… group,the levels of ET,Pâ… CP and Pâ…¢NP were higher(P<0.05;P<0.01), Compared with NYHAâ…¡group,the all levels were increased(P<0.01).3.by Pearson correlation analysis,ET and Pâ… CP,Pâ…¢NP was a positive correlation(r=0.574,P<0.001;r=0.596,P<0.001).Pâ… CP and Pâ…¢NP content was also positively correlated(r=0.688,P<0.001).Conclusion:1.The change of expression of NHE1mRNA in patients with HF was possibly one of the molecule mechanisms of myocardial remodeling and related with the genesis and maintenance of heart failure.2.The levels of myocardial fibrosis markers increase in patients with CHF. These results indicate that myocardial fibrosis may take place in heart failure of the patients. |
