摘要:

目的 探讨高血压情况下抑制整合素α5β1下调阴茎海绵体组织中Rho A/ROCK信号蛋白的表达,并影响大鼠勃起功能的相关机制。方法 将15只12周龄自发性高血压大鼠(SHR)随机分为SHR组、SHR+LV-empty组、SHR+LV-siRNA组,每组5只。将15只12周龄正常血压Wistar-Kyoto(WKY)大鼠随机分为WKY组、WKY+LV-empty组、WKY+LV-siRNA组,每组5只。SHR组和WKY组阴茎海绵体中部注射20μL生理盐水; SHR+LV-empty组和WKY+LVempty组阴茎海绵体中部注射20μL空慢病毒载体(滴度1×10~8TU/m L); SHR+LV-siRNA组和WKY+LV-siRNA组阴茎海绵体中部注射20μL携带干扰整合素α5β1的慢病毒(滴度1×10~8TU/m L)。注射1周后检测各组大鼠的体重、血清睾酮水平、阴茎海绵体内最大压(ICPmax)与平均动脉压(MAP)比值、阴茎海绵体中的整合素α5β1、FAK、ROCK1、ROCK2、e NOS的表达水平和NO含量。结果 各组大鼠体重、血清睾酮水平相比差异无统计学意义(P > 0.05)。与WKY组相比,SHR组3、5 V刺激下ICPmax/MAP水平显著降低(P<0.05),整合素α5β1、FAK、ROCK1、ROCK2的表达显著上调(P<0.05),而e NOS表达及NO含量显著降低(P<0.05)。整合素α5β1干扰慢病毒成功转染后,与WKY+LV-empty组相比,WKY+LV-siRNA组中3、5 V刺激下ICPmax/MAP水平、阴茎海绵体组织中e NOS表达及NO含量的差异无统计学意义(P > 0.05),而整合素α5β1、FAK、ROCK1、ROCK2的表达显著降低(P<0.05);与SHR+LV-empty组相比,SHR+LVsiRNA组3、5 V刺激下ICPmax/MAP水平显著升高(P<0.05),阴茎海绵体组织中e NOS表达及NO含量的差异无统计学意义(P > 0.05),整合素α5β1、FAK、ROCK1、ROCK2表达显著降低(P<0.05)。结论 高血压上调阴茎海绵体组织内整合素α5β1的表达,激活Rho A/ROCK信号通路,导致阴茎勃起功能障碍。抑制SHR阴茎海绵体组织中整合素α5β1表达,下调Rho A/ROCK信号通路,可改善SHR勃起功能。

Abstract:

Objective To explore the mechanism by which inhibition of integrin α5β1 in the context of hypertension downregulates the expression of RAS homolog gene family members( Rho A)/Rho-associated kinase( ROCK) signaling proteins in the penile corpus cavernosum tissue,and affects the erectile function of rats. Methods Fifteen 12-week-old spontaneously hypertensive rats( SHR) were randomly divided into the SHR group,SHR + LV-empty group( transfected with empty lentiviral vector) and SHR + LV-siRNA group( transfected with lentivirus carrying siRNA targeting integrin α5β1),with 5 rats in each group. Fifteen 12-week-old normotensive Wistar-Kyoto( WKY) rats were randomly divided into the WKY rat group,WKY + LVempty group( transfected with empty lentiviral vector) and WKY + LV-siRNA group( transfected with lentivirus carrying siRNA targeting integrin α5β1),with 5 rats in each group. In the WKY group and SHR group,20 μL of normal saline was injected into the middle part of the penile corpus cavernosum. While in the SHR + LV-empty group and WKY + LV-empty group,20 μL of empty lentiviral vector( titer 1 × 108 TU/m L) was injected into the middle part of the penile corpus cavernosum. In the SHR +LV-siRNA group and WKY + LV-siRNA group,20 μL of lentivirus carrying integrin α5β1 interference( titer 1 × 108 TU/m L)was injected into the middle part of the penile corpus cavernosum. One week after transfection,the body weight,levels of serum testosterone,ratio of the maximum intracavernous pressure to the mean arterial pressure( ICPmax/MAP) of rats in each group,the expression of integrin α5β1,FAK,ROCK1,ROCK2,and e NOS in penile corpus cavernosum,as well as the content of nitric oxide( NO) were measured. Results There was no statistically significant difference in body weight and serum testosterone levels among the rats in each group( P > 0. 05). Compared with the WKY group,the ICPmax/MAP in the SHR group was significantly lower( P < 0. 05),and the expressions of integrin α5β1,FAK,ROCK1,and ROCK2 in the penile corpus cavernosum of the SHR group were significantly higher( P < 0. 05),while the expression of e NOS and the content of NO decreased significantly( P < 0. 05). After successful transfection with integrin α5β1 interfering lentivirus,compared with the WKY + LVempty group,there were no statistically significant differences in ICPmax/MAP,e NOS expression in the penile corpus cavernosum,and NO content in the WKY + LV-siRNA group( P > 0. 05),but the expressions of integrin α5β1,FAK,ROCK1,and ROCK2 were significantly decreased( P < 0. 05). Compared with the SHR + LV-empty group,the ICPmax/MAP in the SHR +LV-siRNA group was significantly increased( P < 0. 05). There were no statistically significant differences in e NOS expression in the penile corpus cavernosum and NO content( P > 0. 05). While the expressions of integrin α5β1,FAK,ROCK1,and ROCK2 were significantly decreased( P < 0. 05). Conclusion Hypertension upregulates the expression of integrin α5β1 in the penile corpus cavernosum,activates the Rho A/ROCK signaling pathway,and leads to penile erectile dysfunction. Inhibiting the expression of integrin α5β1 in penile cavernous tissue of SHRs downregulates the Rho A/ROCK signaling pathway and improves the erectile function of SHRs.
