GAO Ying, QIN Yang, WANG Chun-yi, et al. Effect of Huangqi San on MG53/PPAR- Pathway in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Cardiomyopathy Rats[J]. Chinese journal of experimental traditional medical formulae, 2017, 23(9): 123-127. DOI: 10.13422/j.cnki.syfjx.2017090123.
Objective: To study the protective effect of Huangqisan (HQS) on cardiomyopathy of rats with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and its mechanism. Method: Thirty-six male SD rats were randomized into 4 groups
namely normal group
model group
HQS group (2.4 g·kg-1)
and Losartan treatment group (0.1 g·kg-1)
with 12 rats in each group.Rats received high fat diet and streptozocin (STZ) to reproduce the model of type 2 diabetic cardiomyopathy rats
and were orally administered with drugs for 16 consecutive weeks. Fasting blood glucose (FBG)
total cholesterol (TC)
triglyceride(TG)
high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)
low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C) and histological features of myocardium were observed. Mitsugumin 53 (MG53) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α (PPAR-α) mRNA expression were observed by Real-time PCR. Result: Compared with the normal group
the levels of FBG
TC
TG
HDL-C
LDL-C and MG53
PPAR-α mRNA expression in model groups were significantly elevated(P<0.01). Besides
disordered arrangement and different sizes of myocardial tissues
obvious fat vacuole and widened interval between fibers were found in the model group. Compared with the model group
the levels of FBG
TC
TG
HDL-C and LDL-C in HQS group were significantly reduced (P < 0.05
P < 0.01). Both of HQS group showedregular myocardial tissue
without fat vacuole and fiber dissolution. But HQS group showed scanty fat vacuole in fiber interval. HQS group showed significant reduction in MG53
PPAR-α mRNA expressions (P < 0.05
P < 0.01). Conclusion: HQS has a good therapeutic effect on diabetic cardiomyopathy rats. Its mechanism may be related to reduction in the level of blood glucose and blood lipids
regulation on MG53/PPAR-α signaling pathway and inhibition of MG53
