An Injectable Microparticle Formulation Provides Long-Term Inhibition of Hypothalamic ERK1/2 Activity and Sympathetic Excitation in Rats with Heart Failure.
MOLECULAR PHARMACEUTICS(2020)
摘要
Sympathetic excitation contributes to clinical deterioration in systolic heart failure (HF). Significant inhibition of hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) ERK1/2 signaling and a subsequent reduction of plasma norepinephrine (NE) levels in HF rats were achieved 2 weeks after a single subcutaneous injection of PD98059-loaded polymeric microparticles, without apparent adverse events, while blank microparticles had no effect. Similar reductions in plasma NE, a general indicator of sympathetic excitation, were previously achieved in HF rats by intracerebroventricular infusion of PD98059 or genetic knockdown of PVN ERK1/2 expression. This study presents a clinically feasible therapeutic approach to the central abnormalities contributing to HF progression.
