چکیده

BACKGROUND We investigated the potential contributions of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) on the incidence of acute myocardial rupture and subsequent chronic cardiac dysfunction after myocardial infarction (MI) in TNF knockout (TNF-/-) mice compared with C57/BL wild-type (WT) mice. METHODS AND RESULTS Animals were randomized to left anterior descending ligation or sham operation and killed on days 3, 7, 14, and 28. We monitored cardiac rupture rate, cardiac function, inflammatory response, collagen degradation, and net collagen formation. We found the following: (1) within 1 week after MI, 53.3% (n=120) of WT mice died of cardiac rupture, in contrast to 2.5% (n=80) of TNF-/- mice; (2) inflammatory cell infiltration and cytokine expression were significantly higher in the infarct zone in WT than TNF-/- mice on day 3; (3) matrix metalloproteinase-9 and -2 activity in the infarcted myocardium was significantly higher in WT than in TNF-/- mice on day 3; (4) on day 28 after MI compared with sham, there was a significant decrease in LV developed pressure (74%) and +/-dP/dt(max) (68.3%/65.3%) in WT mice but a less significant decrease in +/-dP/dt(max) (25.8%/28.8%) in TNF-/- mice; (5) cardiac collagen volume fraction was lower in WT than in TNF-/- mice on days 3 and 7 but higher on day 28 compared with TNF-/- mice; and (6) a reduction in myocyte apoptosis in TNF-/- mice occurred on day 28 compared with WT mice. CONCLUSIONS Elevated local TNF-alpha in the infarcted myocardium contributes to acute myocardial rupture and chronic left ventricle dysfunction by inducing exuberant local inflammatory response, matrix and collagen degradation, increased matrix metalloproteinase activity, and apoptosis.

beta-adrenergic blockade in developing heart failure: effects on myocardial inflammatory cytokines, nitric oxide, and remodeling.

BACKGROUND Whether beta-adrenergic blockade modulates myocardial expression of inflammatory cytokines and nitric oxide (NO) in heart failure is unclear. METHODS AND RESULTS We administered oral metoprolol or no therapy to rats for 12 weeks after large myocardial infarction and subsequently examined left ventricular (LV) remodeling; myocardial tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, interleukin (IL...

Anti-monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 gene therapy attenuates left ventricular remodeling and failure after experimental myocardial infarction.

BACKGROUND Increased expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) has recently been described in clinical and experimental failing heart. However, its pathophysiological significance in heart failure remains obscure. We thus determined whether MCP-1 is increased in post-myocardial infarction (MI) hearts and its blockade can attenuate the development of left ventricular (LV) remodeli...

Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors in patients with coronary atherosclerosis.

Activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system has been shown to be an independent risk factor for myocardial infarction (MI). The importance of this risk factor has been confirmed by the finding that patients with a DD genotype for the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene, which is associated with increased serum ACE levels, have a higher incidence of MI than do patients without th...

Silencing of Pellino1 improves post-infarct cardiac dysfunction and attenuates left ventricular remodelling in mice.

AIMS Pellino1 is an evolutionally conserved immune regulator and participates in the regulation of Toll-like receptor/interleukin-1 receptor (TLR/IL-1R)-mediated signalling. Recent studies have shown that TLR/IL-1R contributes to the left ventricular (LV) remodelling after myocardial infarction (MI). However, the role of Pellino1 in LV remodelling following MI has not been investigated. This st...
