Linggui Zhugan Decoction (苓桂术甘汤) Inhibits Ventricular Remodeling after Acute Myocardial Infarction in Rats by Suppressing TGF-β1/Smad Signaling Pathway
摘要
Abstract
Objective:
2
To investigate the inhibitory effect of Linggui Zhugan Decoction (LZD
苓桂术甘汤) on the ventricular remodeling (VR) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and related mRNA and proteins expression in transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β
1
)/Smad signaling pathway
and explain its putative mechanism.
Methods:
2
A VR model was generated by ligation of coronary artery in rats. Two weeks after surgery
60 rats were randomly divided into the model group
the sham-operation group (distilled water)
the positive control group (2.4 mg/kg simvastatin)
and the low-
medium- and high-dose LZD groups (2.1
4.2
8.4 g crude drug/kg
respectively) by a random number table
10 rats in each group. Rats in each group was treated for 4 weeks. Changes of hemodynamics indices and cardiac weight index were detected by the PowerLab data acquisition and analysis recording instrument. Morphology changes of myocardial tissue were observed by hematoxylin-eosin and Masson staining. The expressions of TGF-β
1
Smad2
Smad3
p-Smad2 and p-Smad3 in myocardial tissue were detected by Western blotting. The mRNA expressions of TGF-β1
Smad2 and Smad3 were detected by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). The expressions of matrix metalloprotein 2 (MMP2)
MMP9
collagen Ⅰ and collagen Ⅲ were observed by immunohistochemical methods.
Results:
2
VR rats showed significant dysfunction in hemodynamic indices and cardiac structure and function. Compared with the shamoperation group
myocardial tissue damage
interstitial fibrosis occurred in the model rats
left ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP)
left ventricular pressure maximum contraction rate (+dp/dt
max
) and left ventricular pressure maximum relaxation rate (-dp/dt
max
) decreased significantly (all
P
<
0.01)
while left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP)
cardiac weight index and left ventricular weight index elevated significantly
meanwhile TGF-β

Smad2 and Smad3 mRNA expressions increased significantly (all
P

0.01). Compared with the model group
LZD could significantly improve the pathological changes of myocardial tissue
increase LVSP
+dp/dtmax and -dp/dt

lower LVEDP
reduce the whole heart weight index and left ventricular weight index and inhibit the over-expressions of TGF-β

Conclusion:
2
LZD can significantly suppress VR induced by AMI
and its underlying mechanism may be associated with its inhibitory effect on the TGF-β
