Metabolomic strategy for studying the intervention and the synergistic effects of the shexiang baoxin pill for treating myocardial infarction in rats.

ABSTRACT: A metabolomic approach has been developed for evaluating the therapeutic effects of the bioactive components and the synergistic efficacy of the Shexiang Baoxin Pill (SBP) on myocardial infarction (MI) in rats. The MI rats were administered the SBP, muscone, cinnamic acid, bufalin, ginsenoside Re, ginsenoside Rb1, cholic acid, borneol, and a combined version of these bioactive components (SFSBP). Liquid chromatography/quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC-Q-TOF/MS) was used to obtain the mass data from the rats' serum. The number of biomarkers that were reversed by SFSBP was greater than any of the monotherapy groups. The PLS-DA score plots demonstrated that the SFSBP group results were located closer to the sham group than any of the monotherapy groups and that the SBP group was located closer to the sham group than the SFSBP treatment group. The reversing results observed with SFSBP showed synergistic effects when compared with those of the individual bioactive components that were used as monotherapy. Meanwhile, the SBP displayed superior regulation efficacy to SFSBP in MI rats, indicating that there must be other active components in the SBP that were responsible for the treatment of MI that were not included in the SFSBP treatment.

Project description:Ethnopharmacological relevance: Shexiang Baoxin Pill (SBP) is a traditional formulation of a Chinese patent medicine, which has been commonly used for the treatment of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in China since the 1980s. Previous clinical studies have shown that SBP is safe and effective in patients with CVD, but the mechanism of the therapeutic effect is still poorly understood and requires further research. Aim of the study: This study aims to comprehensively understand the effects and the underlying mechanisms of SBP for CVD treatment by analyzing the whole proteome of myocardial infarction (MI) model rats with or without SBP treatment. Materials and methods: We evaluated the therapeutic effects of SBP on myocardial infarction model (MI) rats by performing the echocardiography analyses after 15-day treatment. And the label-free quantitative proteomic approach was utilized to investigate the whole proteome of the rat heart tissues from MI group (MI rats, n=3), SBP group (MI rats treated with SBP, n=3) and SOG group (sham operated rats, n=3) on the operation day (Day 0) and 15 days after operation (Day 15), respectively. The differentially expressed proteins were subsequently analyzed with bioinformatical methods such as KEGG pathway enrichment analysis, gene ontology (GO)-annotation analysis and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis. Finally, the expression levels of two promising proteins were validated by immunoblotting. Results: The echocardiography analyses show SBP significantly improved the left ventricular fractional shortening (LVFS) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of MI rats. Additionally, 134 proteins were differentially expressed both between SBP/MI and SOG/MI, and 15 proteins were found closely related to CVD. The pathway enrichment and GO-annotation analysis of these differentially expressed proteins revealed that the proteins involved in cellular mitochondrial energy metabolism processes, such as fatty acid beta-oxidation and aerobic respiration, were significantly regulated under SBP treatments, of which fatty acid-binding protein 3 (FABP3) and myoglobin (MB) was significantly down-regulated in MI model group compared with SOG group and was returned to the basal level by SBP treatment. Expression levels of these two proteins were confirmed by immunoblotting experiments. Conclusions: These results we obtained in current study probably demonstrated that the cardio-protective effects of Shexiang Baoxin Pill might be achieved through the regulation of energy metabolism homeostasis in cardiac tissue.

Project description:Background: The coronary microvascular dysfunction has attracted more and more attention in recent years, but there is still a lack of effective treatment. Shexiang Baoxin Pill is one of the commonly used drugs for the treatment of coronary artery disease in China. More recently, some studies found that it has the effect of improving coronary microvascular function. Objective: To evaluate the effects of Shexiang Baoxin Pill for coronary microvascular function. Methods: Databases including MEDLINE, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang, The Cochrane Library, EMbase, VIP and CBM were searched from inception to June 2021 to screen out relevant clinical studies. The 2019 version 2 of the Cochrane risk of bias tool (RoB2) were used to assess the methodological quality of the included studies. RevMan 5.3 software was used for meta-analysis. Results: Eleven studies meeting the criteria were included, with a total of 1,075 patients. The results of meta-analysis showed that compared with conventional treatment alone, combination of Shexiang Baoxin Pill and conventional treatment can further increase the coronary flow reserve (CFR) [mean difference (MD) = 0.43, 95%CI (0.28, 0.58), p < 0.000 01], decrease the index of microvascular resistance (IMR) [MD = -4.23, 95%CI (-5.49, -2.97), p < 0.000 01], increase serum nitric oxide (NO) [MD = 11.96, 95%CI (2.74, 21.18), p = 0.001] and decrease serum hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) [MD = -2.49, 95%CI (-3.08, -1.90), p < 0.000 01], but did not increase the time of duration on the exercise testing (TET) [MD = 3.64, 95%CI (-1.17, 8.45), p = 0.14]. In terms of safety, a total of 10 patients developed adverse reactions in the intervention group and 17 patients developed adverse reactions in the control group. Conclusion: Current evidence suggests that Shexiang Baoxin Pill may be effective in the improvement of coronary microvascular function when used in combination with conventional treatment. However, due to the low quality of the included studies, lack of placebo control and high heterogeneity among different studies, we should take a cautious attitude towards this conclusion. Moreover, the safety of Shexiang Baoxin Pill remains uncertain, more high-quality clinical studies are needed to verify the efficacy and safety of this drug in the future.

Project description:INTRODUCTION:Coronary artery disease (CAD) not amenable to revascularisation indicates that the coronary arteries have severe diffuse lesions or calcifications, or that CAD is complicated with severe multiple-organ disease. Currently, Western medicines available for the treatment of CAD not amenable to revascularisation are limited. Shexiang Baoxin Pill (SBP), a type of Chinese patent medicine, has been widely used to treat CAD in China for many years. Previous studies have shown that long-term administration of SBP (1-2 pills three times daily, for at least 6 months) for treatment of CAD is effective and safe, with a significant, long-term effect. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SBP in patients with CAD not amenable to revascularisation. METHODS AND ANALYSIS:This is a multicentre, randomised, double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial. A total of 440 participants will be randomly allocated to two groups: the intervention group and the placebo group. Based on conventional treatment with Western medicine, the intervention group will be treated with SBP and the placebo group will be treated with SBP placebo. The primary outcomes include major adverse cardiovascular events (including angina, acute myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism and aortic dissection). The secondary outcomes include C reactive protein, B-type natriuretic peptide, ECG, echocardiographic parameters (ejection fraction percentage and the E/A ratio) and hospital readmission rates due to CAD. Assessments will be performed at baseline (before randomisation) and at 24 weeks after randomisation. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION:The protocol has been approved by the Research Ethics Committee of Guang'anmen Hospital, China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences in Beijing, China (reference: 2016-129-KY-01). The results of this study will be published in a peer-reviewed journal and will be used as a basis for a multisite trial. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER:NCT03072121; Pre-results.
