Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To explore the mechanism of Zadi-5 pill in improving myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI). METHODS The targets and pathways of potential effects of Zadi-5 pill improving MIRI were screened based on the network pharmacology. Seventy-two rats were randomly divided into model group, sham operation group, Danshen group [Compound danshen dripping pills 80 mg/(kg·d)] and Zadi-5 pill high-dose, medium-dose and low-dose groups [1.6, 0.8, 0.4 g/(kg·d)], with 12 rats in each group. The rats in each group were given corresponding drugs intragastrically, once a day, for 14 consecutive days. After the last administration, MIRI model was established by ligating the anterior descending branch of left coronary artery in rats, while rats in the sham operation group were threaded without ligation. The contents of creatine kinase (CK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), aspartate transaminase (AST), cardiac troponin T (CTn-T), apoptotic rate of cardiomyocyte, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), protein kinase B (Akt), B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), Bcl-2 related X protein (Bax) and caspase-3 in myocardial tissue were detected in each group after modeling; the morphological changes of myocardial tissue were observed. RESULTS A total of 177 active ingredients and 220 targets of Zadi-5 pill were obtained, including 51 targets involved in improving myocardial ischemia; the core target of Zadi-5 pill improving MIRI was AKT1, including PI3K-Akt, endoplasmic reticulum and hypoxia-inducible factor-1. Compared with model group, the contents of CK, LDH, AST and CTn-T, the apoptotic rate of cardiomyocyte as well as the protein expressions of caspase-3 and Bax were significantly decreased in Danshen group and Zadi-5 pill high-dose group (P<0.05 or P<0.01), while the protein expressions of PI3K, Akt and Bcl-2 in myocardial tissue were significantly increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01), respectively; the myocardial histopathological changes were significantly improved. The above indicators were improved to varying degrees in Zadi-5 pill low-dose and medium-dose groups, too. CONCLUSIONS Zadi-5 pill may inhibit apoptosis by activating the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, thus playing a role in improving MIRI.
