Effect of Qili Heart-Strengthening Capsule on Endothelial Injury and Energy Metabolism in Rats with Pressure Overload Heart Failure
Objective To study the effect and possible mechanism of Qili Heart-Strengthening Capsule [heart-strengthening capsule of Huangqi (Radix Astragali) and Tinglizi (Semen Lepidii)] on pressure overload heart failure. Methods Fifteen SD rats were randomly selected as the sham operation group. The ascending aorta constriction was conducted to establish the pressure overload heart failure models. Totally 75 successfully modeling rats were randomized into the model group
captopril group
Qili Heart-Strengthening Capsule high-dose
middle-dose and low-dose groups
with 15 in each. The captopril group was given 6.25 mg/(kg·d) captopril tablet. The Qili Heart-Strengthening Capsule high-dose
middle-dose and low-dose groups were given 1.0
0.5 and 0.25 g/(kg·d) Qili Heart-Strengthening Capsule respectively. The sham operation group and model group were given an equal volume of 0.5% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose. The administration lasted for 6 weeks. The ultrastructure of myocardial tissue capillaries was observed by transmission electron microscopy. The adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and phosphorylated AMPK (p-AMPK) protein in the myocardial tissue was compared. Results The ATP contents in the Qili Heart-Strengthening Capsule middle-dose and low-dose groups and captopril group were significantly increased (P<0.01). The ADP contents in all medication groups were significantly increased (P<0.01). The ICAM-1mRNA expression was significantly decreased but the eNOS mRNA expression was significantly increased in the Qili Heart-Strengthening Capsule high-dose group and captopril group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The p-AMPK expression was significantly increased in the Qili Heart-Strengthening Capsule groups and captopril group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). There was no significant difference between before and after treatment in the AMPK expression in all groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Qili Heart-Strengthening Capsule can protect the myocardial capillary endothelial
increase the cardiac energy load level
improve the energy metabolism
and its mechanism may be related to the activation of AMPK-eNOS pathway.
