Mechanism of Qishen Granules(芪参颗粒)Regulating Mitophagy and Intervening in Inflammasome Activation to Resist Cardiomyocyte Injury
Objective To elucidate the mechanism by which Qishen Granules(芪参颗粒,QSG)regulate mitochondrial autoph-agy,intervene in inflammasome activation and counteract cardiomyocyte injury.Methods The experiment cultured HL-1 cardio-myocytes and induced cardiomyocyte injury model through angiotensin Ⅱ(AngⅡ).The cells were divided into control group,mod-el group,QSG 2.5%,5%and 10%groups.The QSG group was cultured in serum MEM medium with 2.5%,5%and 10%QSG respectively,while the control group and model group were cultured in 10%ordinary rat serum MEM medium.After 6 hours of culture,the cells in each group were added with 150 nmol/L AngⅡ and incubated for 24 hours.The CCK8 method was used to detect the effect of QSG-containing serum on the viability of HL-1 cells.The colorimetric method was used to determine lac-tate dehydrogenase(LDH),malondialdehyde(MDA)and super oxide dismutase(SOD)in each group,and the Western Blot method was used to detect the effect of QSG-containing serum on HL-1 cells NLRP3 inflammation.The effects of body activa-tion and mitophagy levels were detected,and the protein expression levels of NOD-like receptor protein 3(NLRP3),Cysteinyl Aspartate Specific Protease-1(Caspase-1),Interleukin-1 beta(IL-1β),and PTEN-induced putative kinase 1(PINK1),Parkinson Protein 2,E3 Ubiquitin Protein Ligase(Parkin)and Sequestosome-1(P62)proteins were detected.The expressions of NLRP3 and LC3 in cardiomyocytes in each group was observed by immunofluorescence method.Results The results studies show that compared with that of the model group,the cell viability of each dose group of QSG-containing serum was significantly enhanced(P<0.01,P<0.05).Compared with those of the sham operation group,the levels of LDH and MDA in the model group were significantly increased,and the level of SOD was significantly decreased(P<0.01).Compared with those of the mod-el group,the expressions of LDH and MDA in each dose group of QSG-containing serum were significantly reduced,and the SOD level was significantly increased(P<0.01,P<0.05).Compared with those of the control group,the protein expression levels of NLRP3,Caspase-1,IL-1β and P62 in the model group were significantly increased(P<0.01),and the protein expression lev-els of PINK1 and Parkin were significantly decreased(P<0.01).Compared with those of the model group,the protein expression levels of NLRP3,Caspase-1,IL-1β and P62 in each dose of QSG-containing serum group were significantly reduced(P<0.01,P<0.05),and the protein expression levels of PINK1 and Parkin were significantly increased(P<0.01,P<0.05).Fluo-rescent staining results showed that compared with those of the control group,the expression levels of NLRP3 and LC3 in the car-diomyocytes of the model group increased.Compared with those of the model group,the expression levels of NLRP3 and LC3 in the cardiomyocytes of the QSG-containing serum groups decreased.Conclusion Qishen Granules can effectively protect cardio-myocyte injury,and its mechanism of action may be to interfere with inflammasome activation by regulating mitophagy.
