摘要
Abstract
Objective.To study the change of taurine transport
and taurine transporter(TAUT)and cysteine sulfinate decarboxylase(CSD)mRNA contents in hypertension and hypertensive cardiomegaly.Methods.Taurine content was determined with a amino acid analyser.Taurine uptakes were deter-mined by( 3 H)-taurine incubation.The content of TAUT and CSD mRNA levels were measured by com-petitive quantitative RT-PCR in myocardial and vascular tissues of L-N ω -nitro-arginine(L-NNA)-in-duced hypertensive rats.Results.After the treatment of rats with L-NNA for28days
myocardial and vascular taurine con-tents decreased by11%and15%(P<0.05)
respectively
and plasma taurine level increased by13%(P<0.05).Myocardial and vascular Vmax of taurine uptake reduced by30%and19%(P<0.05)
respec-tively.Their Km of taurine uptake increased by36%and17%(P<0.05).Myocardial and vascular TAUT mRNA content decreased by22%and19%(P<0.05)
respectively
but CSD mRNA content increased by22%(P<0.05)and30%(P<0.01)
respectively.Conclusions.This study suggests that there is a decreased taurine content in myocardial and vascu-lar tissues of L-NNA-induced hypertension rats.The decreased taurine content may result from the de-creased number of TAUT on the cell membrane mainly due to the down-regulation of TAUT gene and TAUT affinity caused by hypertension and hypertensive cardiomegaly.
