The Effect of Shenqi Jianxin Formula (参芪健心方) on Cardiomyocyte Pyroptosis in Chronic Heart Failure Model Rats Based on the NLRP3/Caspase-1 Signaling Pathway
(参芪健心方) in the treatment of chronic heart failure (CHF) from the perspective of pyroptosis.
Methods
2
Fifty-two rats were randomly divided into sham operation group (n=8) and modeling group (n=44). In the modeling group, the anterior descending branch of the left coronary artery was ligated to construct CHF rat model. Forty successfully-modelled rats were randomly divided into model group, Entresto group,
Shenqi Jianxin Formula
group, MCC950 group and the combination group (
Shenqi Jianxin Formula
plus MCC950), with 8 rats in each group. In
Shenqi Jianxin Formula
group, 7.4 g/(kg·d) of
Shenqi Jianxin Formula
was given by gavage, while in Entresto group, 68 mg/(kg·d) of Entresto suspension was given by gavage; in MCC950 group, MCC950 was injected intraperitoneally with 10 mg/kg once every other day, and in the combination group, 7.4 g/(kg·d) of
Shenqi Jianxin Formula
was given by gavage, and MCC950 was injected intraperitoneally with 10 mg/kg once every other day; 10 ml/(kg·d) of saline was given by gavage in the sham operation group and the model group. After 3 weeks of continuous intervention, serum brain B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), creatine kinase isoenzyme MB (CK-MB), interleukin 1β (IL-1β), and interleukin 18 (IL-18) levels were detected by ELISA; HE staining and MASSON staining were used to observe pathological changes in rat myocardium. Except for the Entresto group, western blot technique was used to detect the expression of NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3), caspase-1, and apoptosis-associated speck-like protein possessing a caspase-recruiting domain (ASC); RT-PCR was used to detect the expression of NLRP3 and caspase-1 mRNA.
Results
2
Compared with the sham operation group, HE staining of rats in the model group showed obvious myocardial injury, while MASSON staining showed increased area of collagen fibrosis, and serum BNP, CK-MB, IL-1β, IL-18, myocardial tissue NLRP3, caspase-1, ASC protein expression and NLRP3, caspase-1 mRNA expression were all elevated (
P
<0.05). Compared with those in the model group, cardiomyocyte injury of rats and collagen fibrosis area were reduced, and serum BNP, CK-MB, IL-1β, and IL-18 contents were all reduced in
Shenqi Jianxin Formula
group, Entresto group, MCC950 group, and the combination group; except for Entresto group, myocardial tissue NLRP3, caspase-1, ASC protein expression and NLRP3, caspase-1 mRNA expression were reduced in the remaining three medication group (
P
<0.05). Compared with
Shenqi Jianxin Formula
group, the MCC950 group and the combination group showed decreased serum IL-1β and IL-18 content, collagen fibrosis area, myocardial tissue NLPR3, caspase-1 protein expression, and caspase-1 mRNA expression, and decreased ASC and NLRP3 mRNA expression was shown in the combination group (
P
<0.05). Compared with MCC950 group, collagen fibrosis area was reduced, and serum IL-18 content, NLRP3, caspase-1 mRNA expression were reduced in the combination group (
P
<0.05).
Conclusion
2
Shenqi Jianxin Formula
can effectively improve the myocardial injury and heart failure in rats with CHF, and its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of cardiomyocyte pyroptosis through NLPR3/Caspase-1 pathway to reduce the level of intramyocardial inflammation. The combined use of MCC950 with
Shenqi Jianxin Formula
could more effectively inhibite myocardial pyroptosis, with better therapeutic result than single use of each part.
