Abstract: Objective To investigate the effect of rosiglitazone on no-reflow and eNOS expression after reperfusion in rats with AMI. Methods Left anterior descending coronary artery was undergone 3 h of occlusion and 2 h of reperfusion to establish the model of no-reflow. 60 SD rats were randomly divided into the control group、the sham operated group、the rosiglitazone group、rosiglitazone plus L-NNA group、L-NNA group; thioflavin-S and Evan's blue were used to delineate the ligation area (LA) and area of no-reflow (ANR); Western blot for phosphorylated eNOS at Ser1177、RT-PCR for mRNA expression of eNOS were performed. Results (1)Compared with control group, area of no-reflow in rosiglitazone group were significantly reduced(P<0.05), but not in rosiglitazone plus L-NNA group; (2)Compared with the control group,there was no significant differences in mRNA expression of eNOS in rosiglitazone group, whereas Level of p-eNOS Ser1177 protein was significantly increased (P<0.05). Conclusions Rosiglitazone significantly reduced area of no-reflow after reperfusion in rats with AMI, the mechanism of which may be partly due to its role in improving phosphorylation of eNOS, and further increased production of NO.
