[Abstract]
Objective To investigate the molecular mechanism of Guanxin Shutong Capsule (GXST) in the treatment of myocardial infarction by regulating myocardial cell apoptosis. Methods Forty mice were randomly divided into five groups, with eight mice in each group: the control group, the model group, and the low-, medium-, and high-dose GXST groups (0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 g·kg-1). The mice were ig administered for six consecutive days. The control group and the model group were given the same volume of 0.5% CMC-Na solution. Except for the control group, the other groups were subcutaneously injected with isoproterenol (ISO, 150 mg·kg-1) on the fifth and sixth days to induce myocardial infarction models. Sixteen hours after the last subcutaneous injection of ISO, the mice were anesthetized and sacrificed. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to observe the pathological changes of myocardial tissue. The left ventricular relative wall thickness (LV-RWT) and interventricular septal thickness (IVST) were measured using NIS-Elements BR software. TUNEL staining was used to observe myocardial cell apoptosis. The levels of serum cardiac troponin T (cTnT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB), creatine kinase (CK), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were detected using an automatic biochemical analyzer and related reagents. The relative expression levels of Bcl-2, Bax, and Caspase-3 mRNA in myocardial tissue were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR). The protein expressions of Bcl-2, Bax, Caspase-3, cleaved-Caspase-3, aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR), src kinase (SRC), p-SRC, extracellular regulated protein kinase (ERK), and p-ERK were detected by Western blotting. Results Compared with the model group, the myocardial tissue pathological damage in the GXST groups was significantly alleviated, and LV-RWT and IVST were significantly reduced (P <0.05, 0.01); the levels of CK, CK-MB, AST, cTnT, LDH, and ALT in serum were significantly decreased (P <0.01); the proportion of TUNEL-positive cells was significantly reduced (P <0.05); the expressions of Caspase-3 and Bax mRNA were significantly decreased (P <0.05, 0.01), and the expression of Bcl-2 mRNA was significantly increased (P <0.05); the protein expressions of Bcl-2, AHR, p-SRC, and p-ERK were significantly increased (P <0.05, 0.01), and the protein expressions of Bax and cleaved Caspase-3 were significantly decreased (P <0.05, 0.01). Conclusion GXST can alleviate myocardial injury in mice with myocardial infarction and inhibit myocardial cell apoptosis, and its mechanism is related to the activation of the AHR/SRC/ERK signaling pathway.
