摘要
Previous investigations have indicated that rutaecarpine activates the vanilloid receptor to evoke calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) release. CGRP has been shown to alleviate cardiac anaphylactic injury. In the present study, the effect of rutaecarpine on cardiac anaphylaxis was examined. Challenge of presensitized guinea-pig hearts with a specific antigen caused marked decreases in coronary flow (CF), left ventricular pressure (LVP) and its derivatives (+/- dp/dt(max)), an increase in heart rate, and prolongation of the P-R interval. Rutaecarpine (0.3 or 1 muM) markedly increased the content of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in the coronary effluent and decreased the content of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in myocardial tissues concomitantly with a significant improvement of cardiac function and alleviation of the extension of the P-R interval. Rutaecarpine at the concentration of 1 muM also inhibited the sinus tachycardia. The protective effects of rutaecarpine on cardiac anaphylaxis were abolished by CGRP(8-37), a selective CGRP receptor antagonist. These results suggest that the Protective effects of rutaecarpine on cardiac anaphylactic injury are related to inhibition of TNF-a production by stimulation of CGRP release.
