2016310Role and related mechanism of S1P/S1P1 signal pathway during post conditioning of hyper-trophic cardiomyocytes.BAO Xinhui(包馨慧),et al.Heart Center,1st Affil Hosp,Xinjiang Med Univ,Uru-mqi830054.Chin J Cardiol2016;44(5):431-435.Objective To study the role and mechanism of sphingosine-phosphate(S1P)/sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor1(S1P1)signal pathway during post condition-ing of hypertrophic cardiomyocytes.Methods Neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were isolated and cultured,then stim-ulated by norepinephrine(NE)to induce cardiomyocytes hypertrophy.Using tri-gas incubator to create hypoxia and reoxygenation enviroment to mimic ischemia-reperfu-sion and postconditioning.Hypertrophic cardiomyoctyes were divided into five groups according to the presence or absence of various drugs and postconditiong and rele-vant signal pathways changes were detected:(1)IPost group(hypoxia+postconditioning);(2)IPost+S1P group(cells were pretreated with S1P(1μmol/L)for2 h before IPost);(3)IPost+W-146+S1P group(cells in IPost+W-146+S1P group were pretreated with S1P1inhibitor W-146(0.4μmol/L)for20min);(4)IPost+PD98059+S1P group(cells in IPost+S1P group were pretreated with MAPK antagonist PD98059(125μmol/L)for20min;(5)IPost+LY-294002+ S1P group(cells in IPost+S1P group were pretreated with PI3K antagonist LY294002(0.1μmol/L)for20 min).Apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry and protein expression of relevant signal pathways were de-tected by Western blot.Results(1)Apoptosis rate was significantly increased in hypoxia/reoxygenation(27.90?4.49)%group compared wtih normal control group (7.97?2.18)%,which could be significantly reduced in IPost group(15.90?1.77)%(all P<0.05).(2)Apoptosis rate and caspase-3expression were both significantly lower in IPost+S1P and IPost+S1P+LY-294002groups than in IPost and IPost+S1P+W-146 and IPost+S1P+PD98059group(all P<0.05).(3)p-ERK1/2expression was significantly higher in IPost+S1P and IPost+S1P+LY-294002group than in IPost and IPost+S1P+W-146group and IPost+S1P +PD98059group(all P<0.05)while p-Akt expres-sion was similar among IPost,IPost+S1P+W-146and IPost+S1p+PD98059group.p-ERK1/2and p-Akt levels in IPost+S1P+W-146group and IPost+S1P+ PD98059were similar as in IPost group.Conclusion S1P can play protective role in NE induced cardiomyo-cytes hypertrophy during post conditioning through downregulating caspase-3expression and reducing apop-tosis rate via targeting S1P1and activating ERK1/2sig-nal pathway.

2016311Impact of blood pressure control on coro-nary flow reserve in hypertensive patients.DU Lan-fang(杜兰芳),et al.Dept Cardiol,Peking Univ,3rd Hosp,Key Lab Cardiovasc Mole Biol&Regul Dept,Health Ministry,Beijing100191.Chin J Cardiol2016;44(5):421-425.
Objective To investigate the impacts of blood pres-sure control on coronary flow reserve(CFR)in hyperten-sive patients.Methods A total of236patients without significant coronary stenosis(defined as<50%luminal narrowing confirmed by coronary angiography or coronary artery CT scan)between January2011and July2015 were retrospectively enrolled in this study.CFRwas measured in the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD)during adenosine triphosphate-induced hypere-mia by transthoracic Doppler echocardiography.Patients were divided into hypertension group(n=173)and non-hypertension group(n=63).The hypertension patients were further divided into ideally controlled(n=31,de-fined as SBP<120mmHg(1mmHg=0.133kPa)and DBP<80mmHg),controlled(n=82,defined as SBP 120to139mmHg and DBP<90mmHg)and uncon-trolled groups(n=60,defined as SBP≥140mmHg and /or diastolic DBP≥90mmHg)based on their blood pressure after systematic antihypertensive therapy and CFRvalues were compared among the4groups.Multiva-riate regression analyses were performed to identify the independent determinants of CFRin patients with hyper-tension.Results Compared with non-hypertension group,the CFRwas significantly lower in controlled (3.27?0.71vs.2.87?0.56,P<0.001)and uncon-
