Cardiac hypertrophy is a one of common type of CHD, responsible for cardiac mortality worldwide. The present study designed to investigate the effect of muscarinic receptors agonist in the rat model of cardiac hypertrophy. A total of 30 male adult Wistar rats having body weight 300-400 gram were equally distributed in two groups (Test group: Rats with Angiotensin II + M3 receptor agonist [acetylcholine]; Reference group: Rats with cardiac hypertrophy induced by Angiotensin II). Rat model of cardiac hypertrophy were induced by Angiotensin II. Effect of M3 receptor agonist on cardiac hypertrophy was evaluated by electrocardiography, hemodynamic and histological assessment. Also, expression of M3 receptor was analyzed using by real-time-PCR and Western blot analysis. Also, vital signs such as pulse rate, and blood pressure were measured. Echocardiographic related variable including ejection fraction were also assessed in both the groups. The results of this study showed acetylcholine attenuates the hypertrophic response triggered by Angiotensin II, by upregulation of M3 receptor. Upregulation of M3 receptor after administration of acetylcholine ameliorates hypertrophic responses induced by angiotensin II. Also acetylcholine treatment prevents Angiotensin II induced increase in level of ANP and β-myosin, which are responsible for inducing cardiac hypertrophic responses. Moreover, acetylcholine ameliorates Angiotensin II induced cell enlargement by reducing the surface area of cells. Overall finding suggested that acetylcholine improves left ventricle hypertrophy and ejection fraction by activating M3 receptor in heart. The finding of this study gives the new vision to cardiovascular researchers to develop anti- hypertrophy therapy based on M3 receptor. |
