Abstract

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects and possible mechanisms of atorvastatin (Ato) against chronic heart failure (CHF). A rat model of CHF was established and cardiac functions were assessed using Echocardiography. The expression of RhoA/Rho kinase and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) was assessed using western blotting and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction following 4 weeks of treatment. The three groups assessed in the present study were as follows: The control group (no treatment), the Ato + isopropylnoradrenaline (ISO) group (subcutaneous injections of 340 mg/kg ISO + orally administered 50 mg/kg Ato dissolved in saline; administered once daily) and the ISO group (subcutaneous injections of 340 mg/kg ISO + orally administered with an equal volume of saline; administered once daily). Heart volume and weight in the ISO group were significantly increased compared with the control (C) group (P<0.01), whereas contractility was decreased. The results were reverse for the Ato group when compared with the ISO group (P<0.05). Levels of RhoA/Rho kinase protein and mRNA were significantly increased in the ISO group (P<0.01); however. The mRNA and protein expression of eNOS was significantly decreased (P<0.05) when compared with the C group. The mRNA and protein expression of RhoA/Rho kinase was significantly reduced in the Ato+ISO group compared with the ISO group (P<0.01), whereas the mRNA and protein expression of eNOS was significantly increased (P<0.05). RhoA protein expression was increased in the cytoplasm of the C group and on the cell membrane of the ISO group; however, in the Ato+ISO group, RhoA protein expression on the cell membrane was significantly downregulated when compared with the ISO group (P<0.05). The results of the present study suggest that Ato upregulates eNOS by inhibiting RhoA/Rho kinase overexpression in the myocardial tissue of rats with CHF, thus improving left ventricular remodeling and cardiac function.
