Experiment of the Effect of oxyproline on Adriamycin-induced Primary myocardial cytotoxicity in rats
1. Extraction and culture of rat primary myocardial cells (NRCMs)
1-3 Days of newborn Sprague-Dawley rats (purchased from the animal experiment center of Renzhijie hospital) were used, and after sterilization by first immersing in 70% alcohol for several seconds, the chest was opened from the two armpits of the rats vertically by using an instrument, and the heart was grasped with curved forceps. After the heart was subsequently washed clean in PBS, it was placed in an Erlenmeyer flask and approximately 8ml of digest (25 ml 2mg/ml collagenase II, 23ml 0.25% pancreatin without EDTA, 2ml PBS) was injected each time. The conical flask was placed on a constant temperature magnetic stirrer at 37℃and 200rmp, and subjected to a first stirring digestion for 20 minutes, the supernatant was collected, the residue was removed, and then the digestion solution was added again for a second 15 minutes of digestion, the supernatant was collected again, and the residue was removed, and then each mechanical digestion was performed on the stirrer for about 10 minutes. On the third digestion, the washed hearts were aspirated with supernatant and placed in DMEM medium with 5% serum and subjected to intense blow and neutralization of the digestive fluids. This process is repeated until the heart has completely digested or only fiber remains.
The treated heart supernatant was then centrifuged at 1200 revolutions per minute and the supernatant discarded. 2ml of erythrocyte lysate was added to each tube of cells, and the cells were blown off, allowed to stand in the lysate for 2 minutes, and then added to the medium to polymerize the cells.
Finally, centrifugation was performed again, and the centrifugation conditions were adjusted to 1000 revolutions per minute and the centrifugation time was 5 minutes. After discarding the centrifuged cell supernatant, the cells were added to complete medium, resuspended by pipetting, then placed in a 100mm dish in an incubator and differential-speed attached for 90 minutes. Next, the culture medium in the petri dish was aspirated into a new 50ml centrifuge tube for counting, plate manipulation was performed as needed, and then the cells were cultured with complete medium and 100. Mu. M bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) was added to inhibit fibroblast growth. After 48 hours, serum-free medium can be changed to treat cells.
2. Construction of doxorubicin-induced primary myocardial cell injury model
1Mg of doxorubicin was dissolved in 3.68mL of PBS to prepare a 0.5mM doxorubicin stock solution. 1.29mg of 5-hydroxyproline was dissolved in 10mL of PBS to prepare a 1mM stock solution of 5-hydroxyproline. Primary cardiomyocyte seeding Density 2X 10 5/mL was seeded in 96 well cell culture plates. The culture medium was a high-sugar DMEM plate medium containing Brdu and 10% serum two days before culture, and the culture medium was changed to high-sugar DMEM medium the third day. After the cell state is stable, the cell culture solution is equally divided into three groups: control group, DOX group, DOX+5-OXO, each group was as follows:
control group: adding PBS with the same volume;
DOX group: a corresponding volume of doxorubicin stock solution was added up to the working concentration (1 uM);
DOX+5-OXO group: doxorubicin stock and a concentration gradient of 5-oxoproline stock were added in equal amounts to the DOX group up to working concentrations (1 uM, 2uM, 5 uM).
After 24h incubation with constant temperature medium, CCK8 experiments were performed for each group.

TABLE 5 Main reagents of this example
1. Laboratory animals and groups
SPF-class male C57 mice were supplied from the Shanghai university affiliated Renji Hospital laboratory animal center for 32, 6-8 weeks and approximately 25g in weight, and the experiment was conducted after 3 days of adaptive rearing in the laboratory animal center. During the raising period, the environment of the mouse raising room is kept clean, the temperature and humidity are constant (the temperature is 23+/-1 ℃ and the humidity is 40+/-5%), and the period of 12 hours of light and shade is provided. All experiments were conducted following guidelines for ethics of experimental animals and passed examination by the institutional ethics of animals committee of the Shanghai university of transportation, affiliated with the Shanghai university of Council.
Mice were randomly divided into control groups (Ctrl), 5-oxoproline group (5-OXO), doxorubicin group (DOX), doxorubicin+5-oxoproline group (dox+5-OXO), and each group was dosed as follows:
Group 5-oxyproline (5-OXO): 5-Oxoproline was administered by intraperitoneal injection (0.05 mg/kg) 1 time a day;
Doxorubicin group (DOX): doxorubicin was given by intraperitoneal injection (5 mg/kg), 1 week 1;
Doxorubicin + 5-oxyproline group (DOX + 5-OXO): administering doxorubicin + 5-oxoproline in an amount equivalent to the 5-oxoproline group (5-OXO) and doxorubicin group (DOX);
Control group: administering an equivalent amount of physiological saline solution to doxorubicin + 5-oxoproline group (DOX + 5-oxo);
Each group was dosed continuously for 4 weeks, and the mice were weighed weekly during dosing.
The mice are observed for 1 week after 4 weeks of molding administration, materials are obtained after heart color ultrasound examination (a Vevo ultra-high resolution multi-mode small animal ultrasonic photoacoustic imaging system) is carried out, and the hearts are weighed after moisture is absorbed after the materials are obtained.
The results of the weight change and cardiac weight change after administration of each group of mice are shown in fig. 3. As can be seen from fig. 3, the body weight and heart weight of doxorubicin group (DOX) mice decreased significantly with the prolonged administration time, and the body weight and heart weight of 5-oxyproline group (5-OXO) mice decreased slightly as compared with the control group, and the body weight and heart weight of doxorubicin+5-oxyproline group (dox+5-OXO) mice decreased partially as compared with doxorubicin group (DOX). From this, it can be demonstrated that 5-oxyproline (5-OXO) was able to restore the weight and heart weight of the mice that were reduced.
Pathological tissue detection was then performed on each set of myocardial tissue: HE. Masson staining was used to observe myocardial tissue pathological changes; WGA staining to observe cardiomyocyte size changes; 4-HNE staining is used for detecting the oxidative stress degree of myocardial cells; TUNEL staining detects myocardial apoptosis index.
2. Mouse heart ultrasound detection
The heart functions of the mice after 4 weeks of administration of the control group, the 5-OXO group, the DOX group and the DOX+5-OXO group are respectively detected by using a Vevo ultra-high resolution animal ultrasonic imaging system and a high frequency probe to be applied to heart ultrasonic examination of the mice.
Prior to the experiment, the mice were first dehaired with depilatory cream, half anesthetized by isoflurane inhalation anesthesia, and kept spontaneously breathing. Short axis slice images are then acquired at the parasternal left ventricular papillary muscle locations to assess left ventricular condition. Meanwhile, an M-mode echocardiographic recording of 15 cardiac cycles was recorded using a two-dimensional mode under guidance, and the Left Ventricular End Diastole Volume (LVEDV) and the like were measured. The detection results are shown in fig. 4 and 5.
From the results and functional levels of the left ventricle of the heart examined by the M-ultrasound of figures 4 and 5, it can be seen that 5-oxoproline intervention significantly restores the reduced left ventricular end-diastole volume (LVEDV), reducing the extent of cardiac atrophy after doxorubicin induction; while significantly increasing ejection fraction (EF%), short axis shrinkage (FS%) and stroke volume (CO), improving myocardial contractility and compliance.

And then limiting a tissue slice area by a slice organization stroke circle, dripping hematoxylin staining solution for 15min after the organization stroke is dried, and washing off floating color by distilled water. The tabs were differentiated by dropping a differentiation liquid for 30s and rinsed with tap water for 2X 5min. And finally, dripping eosin staining solution for 1min, and rapidly dehydrating after eluting residual staining solution by distilled water after the staining is finished. The dehydration step is as follows:
(1) Soaking in 75% ethanol, 85% ethanol, 95% ethanol and 100% ethanol for 3s;
(2) Soaking in 100% ethanol for 1min, adding xylene, washing to remove impurities for 2×1min, and sealing with neutral resin.
After the sealing is finished, the result is shown in figure 7.
2.4 WGA staining
Paraffin sections were removed, de-waxed and hydrated. Sections were placed in a microplate containing PBS (phosphate buffer), one well for each sample. 0.1% Triton X-100 (in PBS) was added, incubated for 10 min, and washed three times with PBS. The WGA solution was added for staining. The concentration and time of WGA can be optimized according to experimental needs. Typically the WGA concentration is 5-20 mug/mL and the staining time is 30-60 minutes. The washing was performed three times with PBS for 5 minutes. DAPI (4', 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole) staining solution was added, incubated for 10 min, and washed three times with PBS. Reversing the slide, adding a proper amount of anti-browning glue for sealing, and observing fluorescence. The results are shown in FIG. 8.
As can be seen from fig. 7 and 8, the cardiomyocytes of the control group were morphologically normal; the DOX group found significant cardiomyocyte atrophy, and 5-oxyproline could significantly interfere with DOX-induced cardiomyocyte atrophy.
2.5 4-HNE immunohistochemical staining
Heart paraffin sections were deparaffinized, antigen repaired, blocked after permeabilization, and probed with primary antibody (4 ℃ overnight), followed by incubation with secondary antibody for another 1h at room temperature. After SP (streptavidin-peroxidase) is added dropwise, DAB is used for color development for 5-10min, the reaction is stopped, hematoxylin is counterstained for 2min, hydrochloric acid alcohol is differentiated, and the mixture is dehydrated, transparent and sealed. The results are shown in FIG. 9.
As can be seen from FIG. 9, the degree of oxidative stress of the myocardial cells of the mice was detected by 4-HNE immunohistochemical staining, and the degree of oxidative stress of the myocardial tissue of the mice in the DOX group was found to be significantly increased compared with that of the control group, while the level of oxidative stress of the myocardial tissue of the mice after the corresponding 5-oxyproline is dried was significantly decreased.
2.9 Tunel dyeing
Heart paraffin sections were dewaxed, antigen repaired, permeabilized and blocked. An appropriate amount of TUNEL detection solution (TdT enzyme: fluorescent labeling solution=1:9) was prepared, and the mixture was thoroughly mixed. Mu.l TUNEL assay was added to the sample and incubated at 37℃for 60 minutes in the absence of light. The cells were washed three times with PBS and observed under a fluorescence microscope after liquid-sealing with an anti-fluorescence quenching sealing sheet, and the results are shown in FIG. 10.
As can be seen from fig. 10, the apoptosis of mouse cardiac muscle cells was detected by TUNEL, and it was found that the number of apoptosis of cardiac muscle tissue of mice in the DOX group was significantly increased compared with that of the control group, while the number of apoptosis cells in cardiac muscle of mice interfered with by the corresponding 5-oxyproline was significantly decreased compared with that of the DOX group.
