Anti-inflammatory and Anti-oxidative Stress Damage of Catechin Gallate on Diabetic Myocardial in C57 Mice
Objective:To explore the protective effect of catechin gallate (EGCG) on diabetic myocardial injury in C57 mice. Method:The diabetic cardiomyopathy injury model in C57 mice was induced by injected with streptozocin (STZ
70 mg·kg-1) and provided with high-diet food. The DCM mice were randomly divided into 6 groups
namely blank group
model group
EGCG group (50
100
200 mg·kg-1)
and N-acetyl-L-cysteine(NAC) group (100 mg·kg-1). Each group was put to death on the 14th day after intraperitoneal injection. The level of fasting blood-glucose (FBG) was detected by kit; reactive oxygen (ROS)
malondialdehyde (MDA)
superoxide dismutase (SOD)
interniukin (IL)-1β
IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit. Myocardial pathological changes of cardiomyopathy injury were observed under microscope; Nrf2 and HO-1
NQO1 protein kinases were detected by Western blot. Result:Compared with the model group
EGCG (100 mg·kg-1) can decrease the level of FBG in DCM C57 mice and inhibit the activities of IL-1β
IL-6
MDA
ROS in cardiac muscle tissues (P<0.05); increase the activity of SOD in cardiac muscle tissues (P<0.05); increase the expression of protein kinase of Nrf2
HO-1
NQO1 in cardiac muscle tissues (P<0.05). Moreover
EGCG (100 mg·kg-1) can restrain the cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and interstitial fibrosis apparently in cardiac muscular tissues. The findings showed that EGCG was better than NAC. Conclusion:EGCG has a protective effect on diabetic cardiomyopathy in C57 mice. The mechanism may be correlated with its anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative stress damage action.
