Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic effect of irbesartan combined with atorvastatin calcium in the treatment of rats with coronary heart disease. One hundred sixty Wistar rats were selected to establish coronary heart disease model. Rats with coronary heart disease were randomly divided into 4 groups: Model, irbesartan, atorvastatin calcium and combination groups (irbesartan combined with atorvastatin calcium group). Rats in irbesartan group were treated with 50 mg/(kg.day) irbesartan; rats in atorvastatin calcium group were given atorvastatin calcium at a dose of 10 mg/(kg.day); rats in combination group were subjected to atorvastatin calcium at a dose of 10 mg/(kg.day) and irbesartan at a dose of 50 mg/(kg.day), while rats in model groups were given intragastric administration of normal saline at a dose of 2 ml/day. Serum lipids, including total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and TC/HDL-C, were measured by automatic biochemical analyzer. Expression of sPLA2-V in myocardium and aortic trunk of rats was detected by reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) and western blot analysis. After treatment, levels of serum TC, TG, LDL-C, HDL-C and TC/HDL-C in rats of each treatment group were better than those in model group (p<0.05). Expression level of sPLA2-Ⅴ in myocardium and aortic trunk in model group was significantly higher than that in other groups (p<0.05). Expression level of sPLA2-Ⅴ in combination group was significantly lower than that in irbesartan and atorvastatin calcium groups (p<0.05). Combination of irbesartan and atorvastatin calcium is superior to irbesartan or atorvastatin calcium alone in the treatment of rats with coronary heart disease. The possible explanation is that the two drugs can reduce the expression of sPLA2-V in myocardium and aortic trunk, which in turn relieved atherosclerosis and achieved better therapeutic effect.
