Effects of buyang huanwu decoction on ventricular remodeling and differential protein profile in a rat model of myocardial infarction.

ABSTRACT: Buyang Huanwu decoction (BYHWD) is a well-known and canonical Chinese medicine formula from "Correction on Errors in Medical Classics" in Qing dynasty. Here, we show that BYHWD could alleviate the ventricular remodeling induced by left anterior descending (LAD) artery ligation in rats. BYHWD treatment (18?g/kg/day) decreased heart weight/body weight (HW/BW), left ventricle (LV) dimension at end diastole (LVDd) and increased LV ejection fraction (LVEF) and LV fractional shortening (LVFS) significantly compared to model group at the end of 12 weeks. The collagen volume of BYHWD group was more significantly decreased than that of model group. Proteomic analysis showed that atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) was downregulated; heat shock protein beta-6 (HSPB6) and peroxiredoxin-6 (PRDX6) were upregulated in BYHWD-treated group among successfully identified proteins. The apoptotic index (AI) was reduced by BYHWD accompanied by decreased expression of Bax and caspase 3 activity, increased Bcl-2/Bax ratio, and phosphorylation of HSPB6 compared to that of model group. Taken together, these results suggest that BYHWD can alleviate ventricular remodeling induced by LAD artery ligation. The antiremodeling effects of BYHWD are conferred by decreasing AI through affecting multiple targets including increased Bcl-2/Bax ratio and decreased caspase 3 activity that might be via upregulated PRDX6, phosphorylation of HSPB6 and subsequently reduction of ANF.

Project description:BackgroundBuyang Huanwu Decoction (BYHWD) is a traditional Chinese medicine to treat the syndrome of qi deficiency and blood stasis. Platelets play an important role in regulating thrombus and inflammation after ischemic injury, studies have shown that BYHWD regulate myocardial fibrosis and exert anti-inflammatory effects through IL-17 and TLR4 pathways, but the mechanism of platelet activation by BYHWD in stable coronary heart disease is still unknown. In the present study, model of left anterior descending coronary artery ligation was applied to investigate the mechanisms of BYHWD on modulating platelets hyperreactivity and heart function after fibrosis of ischemic myocardial infarction (MI).MethodsMyocardial infarction model was constructed by ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery. The rats were randomly divided into five groups: sham, model, MI with aspirin (positive), MI with a low dosage of BYHWD (BYHWD-ld) and MI with a high dosage of BYHWD (BYHWD-hd) for 28 days.ResultsCoronary artery ligation prominently induced left ventricle dysfunction, increased cardiomyocyte fibrosis, which was accompanied by platelets with hyperreactivity, and high levels of inflammatory factors. BYHWD obviously reversed cardiac dysfunction and fibrosis, increased the thickness of the left ventricular wall, and inhibited aggregation ratio and CD62p expression. BYHWD restored the mitochondrial respiration of platelets after MI, concomitant with an increased telomere expression and decreased inflammation. According to the result of transcriptome sequencing, we found that 106 differentially expressed genes compared model with BYHWD treatment. Enrichment analysis screened out the Ras-related protein Rap-1 (Rap1) signaling pathway and platelet activation biological function. Quantitative real-time PCR and Western blotting were applied to found that BYHWD reduced the expression of Rap1/PI3K-Akt/Src-CDC42 genes and attenuated the overactivity of PI3 kinase/Rap1/integrin α(IIb)β(3) pathway.ConclusionBYHWD reduced inflammation and platelet activation via the PI3 kinase/Rap1/integrin α(IIb)β(3) pathway and improved heart function after MI.
