Abstract

Obesity has emerged as a worldwide health concern due to its increasing prevalence. Adipocytes have the ability to express angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 receptors (ACE2) and several adipocytokines. These expressions could lead to the activation of a cytokine storm, which in turn promotes the development of cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of perindopril and losartan exposure on the ACE2 and interleukin 6 (IL-6) levels in adipocyte cells. This study used an in vivo true experimental design utilizing a post-test-only control group. A total of 24 adult male albino rats were divided into four groups, one group served as the non-obese (negative control), while the other three groups were obese: (1) the positive control (untreated obese rats); (2) perindopril group (2 mg/kg BW/day orally for 4 weeks); and (3) losartan group (20 mg/kg BW/day for 4 weeks). Afterwards, the rats were euthanized, and the visceral fat tissue were obtained during dissection. The levels of ACE2 and IL-6 were measured using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Losartan administration in obese rats resulted in a notable elevation in ACE2 levels compared to both the perindopril group (losartan vs perindopril, p=0.011) and the positive control (p=0.004). In addition, the treatment of perindopril and losartan in obese rats resulted in a significant reduction in IL-6 levels when compared to the positive control (perindopril vs positive control, p=0.020; losartan vs positive control, p=0.002, respectively). This study provides insight into the administration of perindopril and losartan, which could suppress the pro-inflammatory (IL-6) but increase the ACE2 levels in adipose tissue.
培哚普利和洛沙坦影响肥胖大鼠模型中 ACE-2 和 IL-6 的表达
由于肥胖症的发病率越来越高,肥胖症已成为全球关注的健康问题。脂肪细胞能够表达血管紧张素转换酶 2 受体(ACE2)和多种脂肪细胞因子。这些表达可导致细胞因子风暴的激活,进而促进心血管疾病的发展。本研究旨在探讨培哚普利和洛沙坦暴露对脂肪细胞中 ACE2 和白细胞介素 6(IL-6)水平的影响。本研究采用体内真实实验设计,只设试验后对照组。共将 24 只成年雄性白化大鼠分为四组,一组为非肥胖组(阴性对照组),其余三组为肥胖组:(1) 阳性对照组(未经治疗的肥胖大鼠);(2) 培哚普利组(2 毫克/千克体重/天,口服 4 周);(3) 洛沙坦组(20 毫克/千克体重/天,口服 4 周)。随后,对大鼠实施安乐死,并在解剖过程中获取内脏脂肪组织。采用酶联免疫吸附试验(ELISA)测定 ACE2 和 IL-6 的水平。与培哚普利组(洛沙坦与培哚普利相比,p=0.011)和阳性对照组(p=0.004)相比,肥胖大鼠服用洛沙坦会导致 ACE2 水平显著升高。此外,与阳性对照组相比,肥胖大鼠接受培哚普利和洛沙坦治疗后,IL-6 水平显著降低(培哚普利与阳性对照组相比,p=0.020;洛沙坦与阳性对照组相比,p=0.002)。这项研究深入探讨了服用培哚普利和洛沙坦可抑制促炎物质(IL-6)但增加脂肪组织中 ACE2 水平的问题。
