Abstract:

Objective To investigate the effect of TRPC5 on intermittent hypoxia-induced myocardial pyroptosis. Methods TRPC5 knock out (TRPC5-/-) and SD rats were each randomly divided into chronic intermittent hypoxia group (CIH group) and normoxia group (Control group) (n = 6 for each group). The myocardial fibrosis in rats was visualized by Masson staining, the levels of serum inflammatory factors were measured by ELISA and the relative expression levels of TRPC 5 and pyroptosis-related proteins were determined by Western blotting. Results Masson staining showed that the collagen volume fraction in the TRPC5-/--CIH group was higher than that in the TRPC5-/--Control group and lower than that in the WT-CIH group. The ELISA results showed that the serum levels of IL-1, IL-6, and TGF-β in the TRPC5-/--CIH group were higher than those in the TRPC5-/--Control group and lower in the WT-CIH group. Western blotting results showed that the relative expression levels of pyroptosis related proteins caspase-1, NLRP3, GSDMD, and GSDMD-N in the TRPC5-/--CIH group were higher than those in the TRPC5-/--Control group and lower than those in the WT-CIH group. Conclusion TRPC5 deficiency alleviates myocardial pyroptosis and myocardial fibrosis induced by hypoxia.
