    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) on cardiac myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) expression in diabetic rats.
 METHODS: A total of 32 male SD rats were randomly divided into a normal control group (NC group), a diabetic control group (DM), a NaHS treatment group (DM+NaHS) and a NaHS group (NaHS) (n=8 in each group). Intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin was utilized to establish Type 1 diabetic rat model. The diabetic rats in the DM+NaHS and NaHS groups were intraperitoneally injected with 28 μmol/kg NaHS solution. Eight weeks later, the ventricular hemodynamic parameters, the ratio of heart weight/body weight (HW/BW ratio), the levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and creatine kinase MB isozyme (CK-MB) in serum were determined. The ultrastructures of myocardium were observed under electron microscopy. The expressions of MLCK mRNA and protein level in myocardium were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot, respectively.
 RESULTS: Compared with the NC group, there was no significant difference in the various indexes in the NaHS group (all P>0.05). The function of left ventricular contract and relaxation were decreased obviously in diabetic rats, while the HW/BW ratio was increased (all P<0.01). The levels of LDH and CK-MB were increased (both P<0.01) in serum, while the levels of MLCK mRNA and protein were decreased significantly (both P<0.01) in myocardial tissues. Compared with the DM group, the left ventricular hemodynamic parameters and myocardial ultrastructure damage were improved in the DM+NaHS group, while the HW/BW ratio was decreased (all P<0.05). The levels of LDH and CK-MB were decreased (both P<0.01), while the levels of MLCK mRNA and protein were increased significantly (both P<0.01).
 CONCLUSION: H2S can protect myocardium in diabetic rats, which may be associated with upregulation of cardiac MLCK. 目的：观察外源性硫化氢(H2S)对糖尿病大鼠心肌肌球蛋白轻链激酶(myosin light chain kinase，MLCK)表达的影响。方法：32只雄性SD大鼠随机分为正常对照组(NC组)、糖尿病对照组(DM组)、NaHS治疗组(DM+NaHS组)和NaHS对照组(NaHS组)，每组8只。采用链脲佐菌素55 mg/kg腹腔注射诱导1型糖尿病大鼠模型。造模成功后，DM+NaHS组和NaHS组大鼠腹腔注射NaHS溶液28 μmol/kg干预治疗。8周后，测定大鼠左心室功能指标；计算心体比；测定血清乳酸脱氢酶(lactate dehydrogenase，LDH)和肌酸激酶同工酶(creatine kinase MB isozyme，CK-MB)水平；透射电镜观察心肌细胞超微结构变化； RT-PCR和Western印迹分别检测心肌组织MLCK mRNA和蛋白表达。结果：与NC组比较，NaHS组各项指标差异无统计学意义(均P>0.05)，而DM组左心室收缩和舒张功能下降，心体比明显增大(均P<0.01)，血清中LDH和CK-MB水平明显增高(均P<0.01)，心肌超微结构损伤明显，心肌组织MLCK mRNA和蛋白表达明显降低(均P<0.01)。与DM组比较，DM+NaHS组左心室功能和心肌超微结构损伤明显改善，心体比明显降低(均P<0.05)，血清中LDH和CK-MB水平明显下降(均P<0.01)，MLCK mRNA和蛋白表达明显升高(均P<0.01)。结论：外源性H2S对糖尿病大鼠心肌损伤具有保护作用，机制可能与增强心肌MLCK表达有关。.
