    Abstract:

    Objective:To explore the potential damage effects and related mechanisms of clozapine(CLP)on the heart development of zebrafish. Method:12.5 μmol/L CLP(L -CLP)and 25.0 μmol/L CLP(H -CLP)were used to culture zebrafish embryos for 72 hours, respectively. The heart morphology,heart rate,and the distance between venous sinus and arterial bulb(SV -BA)were observed under microscope;The expression of cardiac development-related genes NKX2.5,Hand2 and Cmlc2 were detected by fluorescence quantitative PCR;In addition,after 24 hours of culture,the endoplasmic reticulum inhibitor 4-phenylbutyric acid(4-PBA)or dopamine D2 receptor inhibitor bromocriptine(BRC)were added to the H-CLP group for 48 hours. Then,we counted the cardiac function indicators,and detected the expression of endoplasmic reticulum stress genes(Chop、Bip)and apoptosis-related genes(Caspase3,Bax/Bcl2). Results: CLP induced damages of cardiac structure and function in a dose-dependent manner,induced the expression of Chop and Bip,and further increased the expression of Caspase3 and Bax/Bcl2. 4-PBA and BRC significantly alleviated CLP-induced cardiac injury and decreased the expression levels of Chop、Bip、Caspase -3 and Bax/Bcl2. Conclusion:CLP can damage the heart development of zebrafish,and the mechanism may be related to inhibiting dopamine D2 receptor and stimulating endoplasmic reticulum stress.
