Research Abstract

We assessed the hypothesis that the in vivo administration of C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) might attenuate cardiac late remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI). When CNP was intravenously infused for 2 weeks in rats with MI, the left ventricular enlargement and dysfunction caused by MI were improved by CNP. CNP significantly attenuated an increase in morphometrical collagen volume fraction in the non-infarct region and improved capillary density. The increases of collagen I, collagen III, atrial natriuretic peptide, and β-myosin heavy chain mRNA levels in the non-infarct region were also suppressed by CNP. In conclusion, CNP might be useful as a novel cardioprotective agent.
