Radiation-induced changes in gene expression and distribution of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) in different anatomical regions of the rat heart

Abstract: The distribution of ANP after local irradiation of the rat heart depends on the severity of the pathological/structural changes (i.e. myocyte degeneration and fibrosis). In radiation-induced heart disease, elevated ANP expression in the left ventricle is most probably involved in the observed chronic elevation of plasma ANP levels.

“…Furthermore, ANP is synthesized by fibroblasts infiltrating the infarct (2). Interestingly, irradiation of the left ventricle induces ANP gene expression in the proximity of injured areas with degenerated myocytes and fibrosis (12). In the present study, NT-proANP, BNP, and NT-proBNP correlated with PIIINP, suggesting that ANP and BNP modulate collagen scar formation after AMI.…”

“…Serum samples for mass of the myocardial isoform of creatine kinase (CK-MBm) assays were taken before treatment (when feasible), at 1. 5,3,6,9,12,15,18,21,24,48,72,96, and 120 h after thrombolysis, and at discharge (day 9 or 10 after AMI) from the hospital. Troponin T (TnT) was assayed before treatment (when feasible), at 6, 48, 72, 96, and 120 h after thrombolysis, and at discharge from the hospital.…”

“…Together, these associations suggest that ␤-MHC reexpression does not develop without fibrosis. A similar statement can be made with respect to ventricular reexpression of ANP; increased ANP levels do not invariably correlate with cardiac hypertrophy but are observed always in the presence of cardiac pathology and accompanied by fibrosis (interstitial and parivascular) (37)(38)(39).…”

“…The human and animal data indicate the important role of vascular injury and endothelial dysfunction [ 25 ], but also of myocardial remodeling, degeneration and dysfunction [ 31 , 61 63 ] in the pathogenesis of radiation-induced CD. Endothelial dysfunction (loss of thromboresistance and increased expression of adhesion molecules and cytokines) contributes to pro-fibrotic and pro-inflammatory environments, which are common aspects of radiation-induced tissue injury [ 64 , 65 ].…”
