This protocol describes a surgical procedure to create a model for flow-induced pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in rats and the procedures to analyze the principle hemodynamic and histological end-points in this model.
In this protocol, PAH is induced by combining a 60 mg/kg monocrotalin (MCT) injection with increased pulmonary blood flow through an aorto-caval shunt (MCT+Flow). The shunt is created by inserting an 18-G needle from the abdominal aorta into the adjacent caval vein. Increased pulmonary flow has been demonstrated as an essential trigger for a severe form of PAH with distinct phases of disease progression, characterized by early medial hypertrophy followed by neointimal lesions and the progressive occlusion of the small pulmonary vessels. To measure the right heart and pulmonary hemodynamics in this model, right heart catheterization is performed by inserting a rigid cannula containing a flexible ball-tip catheter via the right jugular vein into the right ventricle. The catheter is then advanced into the main and the more distal pulmonary arteries. The histopathology of the pulmonary vasculature is assessed qualitatively, by scoring the pre- and intra-acinar vessels on the degree of muscularization and the presence of a neointima, and quantitatively, by measuring the wall thickness, the wall-lumen ratios, and the occlusion score.
该方法的目标是创造在大鼠为严重,流动引起的肺动脉高压可再现模型,并测量它的原理的血液动力学和组织病理学终点。
肺动脉高压(PAH)是一种临床综合征,它包括肺血管阻力逐步增加,导致右心室衰竭而死亡。内肺动脉高血压疾病(PH)的上级疾病谱,多环芳烃是最严重的形式,另一种仍然没有治愈1。在PAH的根本动脉的特点是血管重塑的一种典型形式,闭塞血管腔。正常的非肌型容器和内侧容器层的肥大的肌被视为在PAH早期疾病的现象,也见于其他形式的PH 2,并且被认为是可逆3。作为一个PAHdvances,内膜层开始改造,最终形成特征性病变内膜2。内膜型肺血管重构是独家PAH,目前认为是不可逆的4。
由于PAH是一种罕见的疾病,在推进其病理学的理解和新疗法的发展严重依赖动物模型。大鼠monocrotalin(MCT)模型是一个简单的单击模式,已经,并且现在仍然是经常使用的。 MCT是导致伤到肺小动脉和地区炎症5毒素。 60毫克/千克的MCT导致增加的平均肺动脉压(mPAP),肺血管阻力(PVR),以及3后右心室肥大(RVH) - 4周5。该组织形态学无内膜病变5的特点是隔离膜肥厚。该MCT从而大鼠模型表示的PH适度的形式,而不是PAH,虽然它通常呈现为后者。
在与先天性左向右分流(PAH-CHD)相关的PAH的孩子,肺血流增加被认为是内膜病变的7,8,9发展的重要触发。在大鼠中,肺血流增加可由创作腹主动脉和腔静脉,在1990年10首先描述的技术之间的分流来诱导。替代创造增加肺血流量是单侧肺或锁骨下肺动脉吻合术11。这些模型的概念缺点包括由肺,或由于肺血管的医源性损伤致残留肺和自适应通路激活潜在补涨肺动脉吻合术,既混淆增加肺血流量的影响。
当创建主动脉腔静脉分流和肺血流增加是诱发作为第二砸在MCT处理的大鼠,发生特点内膜病变,和多环芳烃是一种严重的和相关的右心室衰竭(RVF)制定3周上升后流程12。 PAH的此模型中的血液动力学级数可以在体内通过超声心动图和右心脏导管插入术进行评估。血管组织形态学,血管壁的厚度,小动脉闭塞程度和参数右心室衰竭形成PAH的体外表征的支柱。
这种方法描述了主动脉腔静脉分流术(AC-分流)详细的手术方案,对心脏导管检查和血管组织形态学定性和定量评估。
涉及受试动物的程序已通过荷兰中央委员会的动物实验和动物保健委员会在格罗宁根大学医学中心(NL)。使用了这两个的Wistar和刘易斯大鼠180和300克之间的权。
