OBJECTIVE To investigate the role of tumor suppressor PTEN in cardiac hypertrophy, the expression of PTEN mRNA and protein was analyzed in the tissue of left ventricle in abdominal aorta constricted-induced cardiac hypertrophic rats which treated with and without captopril. The expression of PTEN mRNA and protein in cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocyte treated with AngII was studied. METHODS SD rats were divided into control group, hypertrophy group and captopril group. The expression of PTEN in different groups at 2 and 4 weeks after operation as well as in cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocyte treated with AngII was detected by RT-PCR and Western blot. The localization of PTEN in left ventricle and cultured cardiomyocyte was determined by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS (1) Compared with control group, the expressions of PTEN mRNA and protein in left ventricle of hypertrophy group as well as in cultured cardiomyocyte treated with AngII were reduced. (2) Compared with hypertrophy group, the expressions of PTEN mRNA and protein in left ventricle of captopril group were upregulated, which were similar to those of control group. (3) Positive immunohistochemical staining of PTEN was located in the nucleus of cardiomyocytes. CONCLUSIONS PTEN may play a negative regulation role in the process of cardiac hypertrophy, and the role of PTEN may be closely related with renin-angiotensin system.

D008297 Male Males
D002216 Captopril A potent and specific inhibitor of PEPTIDYL-DIPEPTIDASE A. It blocks the conversion of ANGIOTENSIN I to ANGIOTENSIN II, a vasoconstrictor and important regulator of arterial blood pressure. Captopril acts to suppress the RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN SYSTEM and inhibits pressure responses to exogenous angiotensin.

D006332 Cardiomegaly Enlargement of the HEART, usually indicated by a cardiothoracic ratio above 0.50. Heart enlargement may involve the right, the left, or both HEART VENTRICLES or HEART ATRIA. Cardiomegaly is a nonspecific symptom seen in patients with chronic systolic heart failure (HEART FAILURE) or several forms of CARDIOMYOPATHIES.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D016147 Genes, Tumor Suppressor Genes that inhibit expression of the tumorigenic phenotype. They are normally involved in holding cellular growth in check. When tumor suppressor genes are inactivated or lost, a barrier to normal proliferation is removed and unregulated growth is possible.
