Abstract
Objective To investigate the effects of verbascoside(Verb)on inflammation and lipid metabolism in rats with coronary heart disease(CHD).Methods SD rats were randomized into control group,model group,low,medium and high dose verbascoside groups,with 12 rats in each group.Rats in control group were fed with normal diet,and the coronary heart disease model rats were induced by high fat diet combined with intraperitoneal injection of pituitrin.After modeling,rats in control group and model group were intragastrically infused with 2 mL saline,while rats in low,medium and high dose verbascoside groups were intragastrically infused with 2 mL of 20,40 and 80 mg/kg verbascoside.All rats were given intragastric administration for 4 weeks.The indexes of cardiac function[ejection fraction(EF)and fraction shortening(FS)],serum markers of myocardial injury[creatine kinase isoenzyme MB(CK-MB)and lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)],serum lipid metabolism indexes[total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)and free fatty acid(FFA)]and serum inflammatory markers[tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1)and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1(MCP-1)]were detected in each group 24 h after the last administration.Myocardial morphology was observed by hematoxylin eosin(HE)staining.The mRNA levels of AMP-activated protein kinase α(AMPKα),peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors-α(PPAR-α),PPAR-γand PPAR-y-activated molecule 1α(PGC-1α)in myocardial tissues were measured by qRT-PCR.The phosphorylation levels of nuclear factor-κB(NF-κB)p65 and AMPKα in myocardial tissue were detected by Western blot.Results Compared with control group,EF and FS were decreased in model group(P<0.05),serum levels of CK-MB,LDH,TC,TG,LDL-C,FFA,TNF-α,ICAM-1 and MCP-1 were increased(P<0.05),serum HDL-C level was decreased(P<0.05),NF-κB p65 phosphorylation level was increased in myocardial tissue(P<0.05),and AMPKα,PPAR-α,PPAR-γ,PGC-1α mRNA levels and AMPKα phosphorylation level were decreased in myocardial tissue(P<0.05).Compared with model group,EF and FS in low,medium and high dose verbascoside groups were increased(P<0.05),serum levels of CK-MB,LDH,TC,TG,LDL-C,FFA,TNF-α,ICAM-1 and MCP-1 were decreased(P<0.05),serum HDL-C level was increased(P<0.05),NF-κB p65 phosphorylation level was decreased in myocardial tissue(P<0.05),and AMPKα,PPAR-α,PPAR-γ,PGC-1α mRNA levels and AMPKα phosphorylation level were increased in myocardial tissue(P<0.05).Compared with low dose verbascoside group,EF and FS were increased in medium and high dose verbascoside groups(P<0.05),serum levels of CK-MB,LDH,TC,TG,LDL-C,FFA,TNF-α,ICAM-1 and MCP-1 were decreased(P<0.05),serum HDL-C level was increased(P<0.05),NF-κB p65 phosphorylation level was decreased in myocardial tissue(P<0.05),and AMPKα,PPAR-α,PPAR-γ,PGC-1α mRNA levels and AMPKα phosphorylation level were increased in myocardial tissue(P<0.05).Conclusion Verbascoside can effectively improve the cardiac function and reduce the myocardial injury in rats with coronary heart disease,which may be related to the inhibition of NF-κB-mediated inflammation and the activation of AMPK-mediated lipid metabolism gene transcription and expression.
