Platelet-rich plasma alleviates myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats

Nan Fang Yi Ke Da Xue Xue Bao. 2021 May 20;41(5):775-782. doi: 10.12122/j.issn.1673-4254.2021.05.20.ABSTRACTOBJECTIVE: To investigate the protective effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) against acute myocardial ischemiareperfusion (IR) injury and the possible mechanism.OBJECTIVE: Aortic blood samples were collected from 10 SD rats to prepare PRP, in which the concentrations of platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) were measured. Cell models of IR injury were established in primary cultures of neonatal SD rat cardiomyocytes by exposing the cells to 3 h of hypoxia. The cells were then reoxygenated and co-cultured with 1%, 5%, 10%, and 20% volume of PRP for 12 h, and the changes in cell viability was assessed. Immunofluorescence staining of the cardiomyocytes was performed, and the cellular expression of AMPK and its phosphorylation level were detected. The effects of PRP on the proliferation and migration of rat aortic endothelial cells (RAOECs) were examined. In a SD rat model of myocardial IR injury, 100 μL of PRP (n= 20) or normal saline (n=20) was injected at 4 sites around the ligation site immediately after cardiac reperfusion. One day after the injection, 6 rats were selected from each group for TTC staining of the myocardial tissues and measurement of troponin Ⅰ content. One week later, the cardiac function of the remaining rats was assessed by echocardiography, and HE staining of the myocardial tissues was performed...
