Abstract

Purpose : We hypothesized dexrazoxane(DXR) and pentoxifylline(PTX) may prevent myocardial damage in adriamycin(ADR)-induced cardiomyopathic rat model. We also investigated their effects on the myocardial apoptosis and fibrosis in ADR induced cardiomyopathy. Methods : The six-week old female Spregue-Dawley rats were divided into control group(CNT, n=4), ADR group(n=6), ADR+DXR group(DXR, n=5), ADR+PTX group(PTX, n=6), ADR+DXR+PTX group(DXPT, n=5). ADR(5 mg/week, twice) was administrated intravenously to rats except CNT group to induce cardiomyopathy. The PTX(50 mg/kg/day) was administered daily from day-0 to Day-21. The DXR(100 mg/kg) was administered 30 minutes before each ADR injection. On day 21, the rats were sacrificed and the degree of histopathologic changes of hypercontraction band necrosis, cytoplasmic vacuolar change and fibrosis were scored. Immunohistochemical staining for Bcl-2 expression and RT-PCR for $TNF-{\alpha}$ and CTGF were performed. Results : Histopathological scores of myocardial damage were significantly higher in ADR rats than CNT rats(P<0.05), and significantly lower in DXPT rats than ADR rats(P<0.01). Myocardial fibrosis was prevented in both PTX rats and DXPT rats. The expression of Bcl-2 was weaker in ADR rats than that in CNT rats(P<0.05), and stronger in both DXR and DXPT rats than that in ADR rats (P<0.05). $TNF-{\alpha}$ concentration of ADR rats was not different from that of treated groups. Conclusion : DXR prevented myocyte apoptosis with increased Bcl-2 expression, and PTX prevented myocardial fibrosis in ADR induced cardiomyopathic rats. The combination therapy of DXR and PTX showed prevention of cardiomyopathy in ADR induced cardiomyopathy rat model.

목 적 : ADR 유발성심근증 생쥐 모델에서 PTX와 DXR의 심근증에 대한 예방 및 치료 효과를 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 생후 6주된 Sprague-Dawley rat를 정상대조군(n=4), 질환대조군(n=6), DXR군(n=5), PTX군(n=6), 병용치료군(n=5)으로 나누고 정상 대조군을 제외한 4군에 ADR(5 mg/kg)을 1주 간격으로 2회 미정맥으로 투여하여 심근증을 유발하였다. DXR군은 매 ADR 투여 30분 전에 DXR(100 mg/kg)을 미정맥으로 주사하였다. PTX군은 3주간 매일 PTX(50 mg/kg/day)을 경구투여하였다. 5군 모두 3주 뒤에 희생시켜 좌심실 조직의 광학현미경적소견을 관찰하여 심근증의 정도를 분석하였다. 면역조직학적 염색을 통해 Bcl-2 발현의 변화를 조사하였고 $TNF-{\alpha}$와 CTGF에 대한 RT-PCR을 시행하였다. 결 과 : 광학현미경 소견상 세포질의 공포형성과 과수축 밴드괴사 그리고 섬유화는 정상대조군에 비해 질환대조군에서 유의하게 증가하였고 병용치료군에서 감소하였다(P<0.01). 심근 섬유화는 PTX군과 병용치료군에서 ADR군에 비해 유의하게 감소하였다. Bcl-2의 발현은 질환대조군에서 낮았으며 DXR군과 병용치료군에서 질환대조군에 비해 Bcl-2의 발현이 증가하여 호전되었다(P<0.05). $TNF-{\alpha}$는 mRNA와 단백질의 발현상 정상대조군과 질환대조군에서 차이가 없었다. 결 론 : ADR 유발성심근증에 DXR과 PTX를 함께 투여하였을 경우 DXR은 bcl-2의 발현을 증가시키고 심근세포의 자멸사를 억제하였고 PTX는 심근 섬유화를 억제하였다. 그리고 ADR과 PTX를 병용 투여하였을 경우 최대의 심근증 예방 효과를 볼 수 있었다.
