Abstract:Objective: To explore the role and mechanism of Apelin-13 in bupivacaine-induced cardiac arrest in rats. Methods: Thirty-five male SD rats were randomly divided into three groups: sham operation group (Sham group, n=5), bupivacaine+saline group (A group, n=15), bupivacaine+Apelin (B group, n=15). Rat femoral artery and vein open, intravenous bolus of bupivacaine 30 mg·kg-1 was injected to cause cardiac arrest. B group was immediately given 150 μg of Apelin-13, and A group was injected intravenously with the same amount of normal saline. Cardiac arrest was recorded as zero and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was started until ROSC (return of spontaneous circulation) or the end of a 40 min period. The survivors were sacrificed 120 minutes after ROSC observation, and myocardial tissue was retained. The rate of the recovery, the rate of survival, the time from initiation of bupivacaine to cardiac arrest (T0), the time from the start of CPR to the first spontaneous heartbeat (Ts), and the time from the start of CPR to ROSC (Tr) and hemodynamics were recorded. The expression of APJ, ERK1/2 and p-ERK1/2 protein in myocardial tissue was detected by Western blot and the concentration of Apelin-13 in myocardial tissue by ELISA. Results: The results showed that compared with the Sham group, the expression of Apelin-13, APJ, p-ERK1/2 protein were signally down-regulated (P<0.05) in the A group. Compared with the A group, the recovery rate and the survival rate were increased, Tr shortened, he modynamics improved significantly after ROSC and the expressions of Apelin-13, APJ, p-ERK1/2 protein were signally up-regulated (P<0.05) in the B group. Conclusion: Apelin-13 can rescue bupivacaine-induced cardiac arrest in rats, and the mechanism may be related to activation of ERK1/2 pathway protein phosphorylation.
