项目摘要

The prostanoids are lipid mediators showing variable effects on many organs in the body including the cardiovascular system. Their roles in the system, however, have been largely unknown. We attmpted to clarify these roles using mice lacking the prostanoids receptors individually. We first established variable methods for the analysis. These include in vivo models such as for pressure overload-induced cardiac hypertrophy and renovascular hypertention, and in vitro systems such as for cultures of cardiomyocytes from fetal or adult mice and culture of juxtagromerullar cells. We next examined the roles of the prostanoids using the established methods and knockout mice. Prostaglandin (PG) I_2 was found to be a potent inhibitor of cardiac hypertrophy consisting of cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and cardiac fibrosis via its receptor IP. PGI_2 playd an important pathophysiological role in the development of renovascular hypertension. This role was attained by the stimulation of the renin-angiotensine-aldosterone system by PGI_2. Other roles of the prostanoids in the cardiovascular system would be clarified in near future, because several interesting results have been already obtained in the present project. They include the roles of the prostanoids in various pathological conditions such as cardiac ischemia-reperfusion injury, vascular remodeling and inflammatory tachycardia.

前列腺素是脂质介质，显示对体内许多器官（包括心血管系统）的影响。但是，它们在系统中的作用在很大程度上是未知的。我们使用缺乏前列腺素受体的小鼠来阐明这些角色。我们首先建立了用于分析的变量方法。这些包括体内模型，例如压力超负荷诱导的心脏肥大和肾血管高血压，以及体外系统，例如胎儿或成年小鼠的心肌细胞培养物以及joxagromerullullullullullullulullullar细胞的培养。接下来，我们使用已建立的方法和敲除小鼠检查了前列腺素的作用。发现前列腺素（PG）I_2是通过其受体IP由心肌肥大和心脏纤维化组成的心脏肥大的有效抑制剂。 PGI_2在肾血管高血压发展中发挥重要的病理生理作用。 PGI_2刺激了肾素 - 血管紧张素 - 醛固酮系统，从而实现了这一角色。前列腺素在心血管系统中的其他作用将在不久的将来阐明，因为本项目已经获得了一些有趣的结果。它们包括前列腺素在各种病理状况中的作用，例如心脏缺血 - 再灌注损伤，血管重塑和炎症性心动过速。
