Effect and mechanism of Shenyuan Yiqi Huoxui Capsules on TNF-α-induced myocardial cell injury in mice
To investigate the effect of Shenyuan Yiqi Huoxue Capsules (SYYQ) on tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α)-induced myocardial cell injury in mice and its mechanism.
Methods
2
Mouse cardiomyocytes (HL-1 cells) were cultured routinely, and SYYQ-containing serum was prepared. HL-1 cells were treated with 0%, 10%, 20%, and 50% SYYQ-containing serum. Cell viability was measured using the cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, and the optimal experimental concentration was selected based on the cell survival rate. HL-1 cells were randomly divided into three groups: the control group, which was cultured with DMEM; the model group, which was stimulated with 50 ng/mL TNF-α for 12 h to induce myocardial injury; the SYYQ group, which was treated with the optimal concentration of drug-containing serum for 12 h. Flow cytometry was used to detect apoptosis, and real-time PCR was used to measure the mRNA expression levels of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3), and interleukin-18 (IL-18). Western blotting was used to detect the protein expression levels of NF-κB, NLRP3, and IL-18.
Results
2
The survival rates of myocardial cells were (53.32±5.70)%,(68.24±6.41)%,(92.62±8.56)%, and (86.93±7.12)%, respectively. The 20% drug-containing serum group was selected as the optimal concentration for drug intervention. The apoptosis rates of cardiomyocytes in the control group, model group, and SYYQ group were(1.57±0.18)%,(18.99±1.32)%,and(6.76±0.38)%, respectively. Compared with the control group, the apoptosis rate in the model group was significantly higher (
P
<
0.01). Compared with the model group, the apoptosis rate in the SYYQ group was significantly lower (
P
<
0.01). The mRNA expression levels of NF-κB, NLRP3, and IL-18 were significantly higher in the model group compared with the control group (
P
<
0.05). Compared with the model group, the mRNA expression levels of NF-κB, NLRP3, and IL-18 were significantly lower in the SYYQ group (
P
<
0.01). The relative protein expression levels of NLRP3 and IL-18 were significantly higher in the model group compared with the control group (
P
<
0.01). Compared with the model group, the relative protein levels of NF-κB, NLRP3, and IL-18 were significantly lower in the SYYQ group (
P
<
0.05,
P
<
0.01).
Conclusion
2
SYYQ may reduce TNF-α-induced myocardial cell injury by regulating the NF-κB/NLRP3/IL-18 signaling pathway.
