The cardioprotective effects of the new crystal form of puerarin in isoproterenol-induced myocardial ischemia rats based on metabolomics.

ABSTRACT: Puerarin has shown unique pharmacological effects on myocardial ischemia (MI). Changing the crystal form is an effective approach to improve the cardioprotective effects of puerarin. However, the mechanisms of the new crystal form of puerarin are unclear. In this study, an electrocardiogram, echocardiography, cardiac marker enzymatic activity, oxidative stress indices, and myocardial histology analysis of cardiac tissues were performed to evaluate the cardioprotective effects of the new crystal form of puerarin. Moreover, serum and cardiac tissue metabolomics based on nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) were used to investigate the potential mechanism of the new crystal form. The results indicated that the new crystal form of puerarin (30 mg/kg) could improve oxidative stress indices, and these improvements were similar to those of the original crystal form of puerarin (120 mg/kg). The new crystal form of puerarin (30 mg/kg) could effectively improve the activities of cardiac marker enzymes, and the improvement effects were better than those of the original crystal form (120 mg/kg). Moreover, metabolomics analysis showed that amino acid metabolism, oxidative stress and energy metabolism were disturbed after MI and could be improved by puerarin. These results demonstrated that the new crystal form of puerarin was effective in treating MI.

Project description:Lixisenatide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 analog which stimulates insulin secretion and inhibits glucagon secretion and gastric emptying. We investigated cardioprotective effects of lixisenatide in rodent models reflecting the clinical situation.The acute cardiac effects of lixisenatide were investigated in isolated rat hearts subjected to brief ischemia and reperfusion. Effects of chronic treatment with lixisenatide on cardiac function were assessed in a modified rat heart failure model after only transient coronary occlusion followed by long-term reperfusion. Freshly isolated cardiomyocytes were used to investigate cell-type specific mechanisms of lixisenatide action.In the acute setting of ischemia-reperfusion, lixisenatide reduced the infarct-size/area at risk by 36% ratio without changes on coronary flow, left-ventricular pressure and heart rate. Treatment with lixisenatide for 10 weeks, starting after cardiac ischemia and reperfusion, improved left ventricular end-diastolic pressure and relaxation time and prevented lung congestion in comparison to placebo. No anti-fibrotic effect was observed. Gene expression analysis revealed a change in remodeling genes comparable to the ACE inhibitor ramipril. In isolated cardiomyocytes lixisenatide reduced apoptosis and increased fractional shortening. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP1R) mRNA expression could not be detected in rat heart samples or isolated cardiomyocytes. Surprisingly, cardiomyocytes isolated from GLP-1 receptor knockout mice still responded to lixisenatide.In rodent models, lixisenatide reduced in an acute setting infarct-size and improved cardiac function when administered long-term after ischemia-reperfusion injury. GLP-1 receptor independent mechanisms contribute to the described cardioprotective effect of lixisenatide. Based in part on these preclinical findings patients with cardiac dysfunction are currently being recruited for a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study with lixisenatide.(ELIXA, ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01147250).
