Abstract

Objective To explore the effects of cysteine or taurine on sinoatrial node dysfunction in diabetic rats and the underlying mechanism. Methods SD rats were randomly divided into four groups:control group(C) diabetes mellits group(DM), diabetes mellits+cysteine group(DM+Cys), diabetes mellits+taurine group(DM+Tau). The blood content of SOD and MDA were assessed. The sinoatrial node function was detected by SNRT, CSNRT, SACT and IHR. We also measured the expression of SOD2, HO-1, Nox2, Nox4, HCN2 and HCN4. Results  Compared with C group, the levels of SOD decreased, whereas MDA increased in DM group. The IHR was reduced with the prolonging of SNRT, CSNRT and SACT. The DM group exhibited down-regulated expression of SOD2, HO-1, HCN2 and HCN4 but up-regulated expression of NOX2 and NOX4 (P<0.05). Compared with DM group, DM+Cys and DM+Tau group showed increased SOD, prolonged IHR, up-regulated expression of SOD2, HO-1, HCN2 and HCN4, down-regulated expression of NOX2 and NOX4 (P<0.05).  Conclusion Cysteine or taurine supplementation can reduce the oxidative stress, increased the expression of HCN2 and HCN4, improve the sinoatrial node dysfunction in diabetic rats.
