Synergistic effects of nitric oxide and exercise on revascularisation in the infarcted ventricle in a murine model of myocardial infarction. EXCLI JOURNAL 2016; 14:1104-15. [PMID: 26869868 PMCID: PMC4746998 DOI: 10.17179/excli2015-510] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2015] [Accepted: 09/07/2015] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
It has been shown that density of microvessels decreases in the left ventricular after myocardial infarction (MI). The change of angiogenic and angiostatic factors as the main factors in revascularisation after exercise training in area at risk is not determined yet in MI. Therefore, the aim of the present study was the effect of exercise training and L-arginine supplementation on area at risk angiogenesis in myocardial infarction rat. Four weeks after surgery (Left Anterior Descending Coronary artery Ligation), myocardial infarction rats were divided into 4 groups: Sedentary rats (Sed-MI); L-arginine supplementation (La-MI); Exercise training (Ex-MI) and Exercise + L-arginine (Ex+La). Exercise training (ET) lasted for 10 weeks at 17 m/min for 10-50 min day(-1). Rats in the L-arginine-treated groups drank water containing 4 % L-arginine. After ET and L-arginine supplementation, ventricular function was evaluated and angiogenic and angiostatic indices were measured at ~1 mm from the edge of scar tissue (area at risk). Statistical analysis revealed that gene expression of VEGF as an angiogenic factor, angiostatin as an angiostatic factor and caspase-3 at area at risk decrease significantly in response to exercise training compared to the sedentary group. The capillary and arteriolar density in the Ex groups were significantly higher than those of the Sed groups. Compared to the Ex-MI group, the Ex+La group showed a markedly increase in capillary to fiber ratio. No significant differences were found in infarct size among the four groups, but cardiac function increased in response to exercise. Exercise training increases revascularization at area at risk by reduction of angiostatin. L-arginine supplementation causes additional effects on exercise-induced angiogenesis by preventing more reduction of VEGF gene expression in response to exercise. These improvements, in turn, increase left ventricular systolic function and decrease mortality in myocardial infarction rats.

J Proteomics 2010; 73:2041-9.

Abstract
Exercise has been shown to improve function of the left ventricle (LV) following myocardial infarction (MI). The mechanisms to explain this benefit have not been fully delineated, but may involve improved mechanics resulting in unloading effects and increased endothelial nitric oxide synthase levels [1,2]. Accordingly, the goal of this study was to determine how the LV infarct proteome is altered by a post-MI exercise regimen. Sprague-Dawley rats underwent ligation of the left descending coronary artery to induce MI. Exercise training was initiated four weeks post-MI and continued for 8 weeks in n=12 rats. Compared with the sedentary MI group (n=10), the infarct region of rats receiving exercise showed 20 protein spots with altered intensities in two-dimensional gels (15 increased and 5 decreased; p<0.05). Of 52 proteins identified in 20 spots, decreased levels of voltage-dependent anion-selective channel 2 and increased levels of glutathione perioxidase and manganese superoxide were confirmed by immunoblotting. Cardiac function was preserved in rats receiving exercise training, and the beneficial effect was linked with changes in these 3 proteins. In conclusion, our results suggest that post-MI exercise training increases anti-oxidant levels and decreases ion channel levels, which may explain, in part, the improved cardiac function seen with exercise.
