Effects of Wutou Chishizhi Pill(乌头赤石脂丸)on Myocardial Oxidative Stress and Keap1/Nrf2/HO-1/NQO-1 Pathway in Myocardial Hypertrophy Model Rats after Acute Myocardial Infarction
(乌头赤石脂丸, WCP) in treating myocardial hypertrophy after acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
Methods
2
Forty SD rats were randomly divided into normal group, model group, perindopril tert-butylamine group and WCP group, with 10 rats in each group. Except for the normal group, AMI model was prepared by ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery; rats in each group were fed normally for 28 days after operation to establish the model of myocardial hypertrophy after AMI. After successful modeling, the perindopril tert-butylamine group was given 0.4 mg/(kg·d) of perindopril tert-butylamine tablets, while the WCP group was given 4.9 g/(kg·d) of WCP liquid, and the normal group and the model group were given 6.67 ml/(kg·d) of normal saline, all by gavage for 28 days. The myocardial hypertrophy indexes including heart mass index and left ventricular mass index were assessed. HE staining and Masson staining were used to observe the pathological changes of cardiomyocytes. The serum atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), angiotensin Ⅱ (AngⅡ), aldosterone (ALD) and hydroxyproline (HYP) levels were detected, as well as the superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in myocardial tissue. The protein expression levels of Kelch-like epichlorohydrin-related protein-1 (Keap1), nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), quinone oxidoreductase-1 (NQO-1), B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) and Bcl-2-related X protein (Bax) in myocardial tissue were detected.
Results
2
Compared to those in the normal group, the heart mass index and left ventricular mass index of rats in the model group significantly increased (
P
<0.01), and the pathological results showed that the cross-sectional area of cardiomyocytes became larger, with disordered myocardial fibers, and broken and disordered collagen fibers around the myocardial tissue; serum ANP, AngⅡ, ALD, and HYP levels significantly increased, as well as the MDA and ROS levels in myocardial tissue and Keap1 and Bax protein expression levels, while SOD activity and Nrf2, HO-1, NQO-1, Bcl-2 protein expression levels decreased (
P
<0.05 or
P
<0.01). Compared to those in the model group, the heart mass index and left ventricular mass index of the rats in the WCP group and the perindopril tert-butylamine group decreased (
P
<0.01); the myocardial pathological damage was improved, and the cross-sectional area of cardiomyocytes was significantly reduced; the serum AngⅡ, ALD, ANP and HYP levels, as well as MDA and ROS levels in the myocardial tissue and Keap1 and Bax protein expression levels significantly decreased, while SOD activity and Nrf2, HO-1, NQO-1, Bcl-2 protein expression levels significantly increased (
P
<0.05 or
P
<0.01). The WCP group was superior to the perindopril tert-butylamine group in reducing heart mass index and left ventricular mass index, the cross-sectional area of cardiomyocytes, and the ROS level (
P
<0.05).
Conclusion
2
WCP can reduce oxidative stress injury and myocardial cell apoptosis in myocardial tissue of myocardial hypertrophy model rats after AMI, and can reduce the degree of myocardial fibrosis, thereby inhibiting the degree of myocardial hypertrophy. The mechanism may be related to the activation of Keap1/Nrf2/HO-1/NQO-1 signaling pathway.
