Abstract: Objective To study the effect of different doses of Ginkgo biloba extract (GBE) in monocrotaline-induced pulmonary arterial hypertension, and to measure the expression of endothelin-1 (ET-1) and nitric oxide synthase(eNOS) in lung tissue. Methods According to the random number table method, 50 male SD rats were divide into five groups: normal control group (group C), pulmonary arterial hypertension model group (group M), GBE low-dose treatment group(group G1,40 mg/kg),GBE medium-dose treatment group(group G2,60 mg/kg)and the GBE high-dose treatment group (group G3, 80 mg/kg), 10 rats in each group. The right atrial pressure (RAP), right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP), mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) and right ventricular hypertrophy index (RVHI) in rats were measured. The histological structure of small pulmonary arteries was observed by HE staining, and the percentage of mesothelial thickness to the outer diameter of the vessel (MA%) and ratio of the mesothelial area to the total area of the vessel (MV%) for 50-150 μm diameter pulmonary arteries were calculated. The expression of ET-1 and eNOS in lung tissue of rats was determined by immunohistochemistry. Results Compared with the group M, the RAP, mPAH, RVSP,RVHI, MA% and MV% of the rats in the three treatment groups decreased, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Among the three treatment groups, RAP, mPAH and MV% in group G3 were statistically significant compared with group G1 (P<0.05). In eNOS, the expression of eNOS in five groups: group C>group G3>group G1>group G2>group M, the expression levels of eNOS in the three treatment groups were higher than those in the group M, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The expression of eNOS in the G3 group was compared with the group G1 and group G2, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). In ET-1, the expression of ET-1 in five groups: group M>group G1>group G2>group G3>group C, the expression levels of ET-1 in the three treatment groups were lower than those in the group M, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The expression of ET-1 in the G3 group was compared with the group G1 and group G2, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion GBE can delay the formation of pulmonary arterial hypertension, which is related to inhibiting the release of ET-1 and maintaining the synthesis of eNOS. Compared with low and medium doses, high doses of GEB could enhance the delaying effect formation of pulmonary arterial hypertension in a dose-dependent manner.
