Effect of Yangxinkang Tablets in Regulating Autophagy on Myocardial Fibrosis in Mice After Chronic Heart Failure
To study the effect of Yangxinkang tablets on myocardial fibrosis in mice after heart failure
and to explore its mechanism.
Method:
2
The model of chronic heart failure in mice was established by thoracic aorta constriction (TAC). After successful modeling
mice were randomly divided into sham operation group
model group
3-methyladenine(3-MA
15 mg·kg
-1
) autophagy inhibitor group
Yangxinkang tablets high
medium
and low dose groups (1 170
585
390 mg·kg
-1
). The sham operation group received equal volume of distilled water. After 30 days
cardiac ultrasound was performed to collect hemodynamic parameters. Cardiac paraffin slices were stained with Masson to observe the morphological changes and fibrosis of cardiomyocytes. Western blot was used to detect lysosome-associated membrane protein(LAMP)
microtubule-associated protein light chain 3 (LC3)
Beclin-1 autophagyportein
α
-smooth muscle activin(
α
-SMA )
CollagenⅠ
Collagen Ⅲ protein expression.
Result:
2
As compared with normal group
the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and fractional shortening(FS) were significantly decreased(
P
<
0.05)
the left ventricular end-diastolic dimension (LVDd) and left ventricular end-systolic dimension (LVDs) were significantly increased (
P
<
0.05)
the degree of myocardial fibrosis was significantly aggravated in model group (
P
<
0.01)
and the protein expression levels of
α
-SMA
CollagenⅠ
Collagen Ⅲ
LAMP
LC3
and Beclin-1 were significantly increased in model group (
P
<
0.05). As compared with model group
the cardiac ultrasound indexes of the 3-MA group
Yangxinkang high and medium dose groups were significantly improved (
P
<
0.05)
the degree of myocardial fibrosis was significantly reduced (
P
<
0.01)
the protein expression levels of
α
-SMA
CollagenⅠ
CollagenⅢ
LAMP
LC3 and Beclin-1 were decreased in 3-MA group
Yangxinkang high and medium dose groups(
P
<
0.05)
while the protein expression levels between the model group and Yangxinkang low-dose group showed no significant difference.
Conclusion:
2
Yangxinkang tablets can reduce myocardial fibrosis and improve cardiac function in mice with heart failure probably by down-regulating autophagy.
