Abstract:This article aimed at exploring the effects and protective mechanism of β-CM7 on renin angiotensin system (RAS) in diabetic rats myocardial tissue. We divided 32 male SD rats into 4 groups: control group, diabetic model control group, insulin (3.7×10–8 mol/d) treatment group and β-CM7 (7.5×10–8 mol/d) treatment group. After 30 days, all rats were decapitated and myocardical tissues were collected immediately. After injection, β-CM7 could decrease the content of AngⅡ, increase the content of Ang1-7. And β-CM7 could improve the mRNA of AT1 receptor and Mas receptor. β-CM7 also could improve the mRNA of ACE and ACE2, enhance the activity of ACE and ACE2. These data confirmed that β-CM7 could activate ACE2–Ang1-7–Mas axis, negative passage in RAS, to inhibit the expression ACE mRNA and protein in rat myocardium, alleviate the myocardial tissue damage induced by AngⅡ. The effect of β-CM7 on inhibiting myocardium damage might be related to ACE/ACE2 passageway.
