Abstract:

AIM:To investigate the inhibitory effect of HYY-002 on atrial fibrillation(AF). METHODS:Male SD rats were randomized into 5 groups:normal,model,amiodarone(30 mg/kg,i.p.), low-dose and high-dose HYY-002 group. The rats were administrated Ach-CaCl2 (i.v.) for 10 days to establish rat AF model. From the 4th day, rats in treatment group were treated with amiodarone (30 mg/kg, i.p.) and HYY-002 (2 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg, i.g.) 1 hour before modeling. AF duration and ECG parameters were measured every day. On the 11th day, AERP of every rat were measured and the inflammatory cytokines and miR-135a in plasma were detected. RESULTS:In the model group, AF duration increased persistently and AERP shortened distinctly compared with normal group [(61.83±4.13) vs. (72.70±7.05) ms, P<0.05]. The expression of TNF-α, IL-1 and IL-6 in plasma of model group were higher than normal group (P<0.05). High dose of HYY-002 (10 mg/kg) shortened AF duration effectively [(6.42±1.38) vs. (16.32±1.31) s,P<0.01 vs. model group], relieved the shortening of AERP induced by AF [(77.78±3.79) vs. (61.83±4.13) ms, P<0.01 vs. model group] and lowered the inflammatory cytokines level in plasma. Compared with normal group, the expression of miR-135a in plasma of model group was down-regulated obviously (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: HYY-002 has a significant therapeutic effect on AF, and miR-135a might be involved in the development of AF.
