Abstract:
Objective To investigate the influences of arctigenin(ATG)on ventricular remodeling and inflammatory reaction in chronic heart failure(CHF)rats,and to analyze its potential mecha-nism.Methods A total of 79 SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group(n=12),and the remaining rats were inflicted with abdominal aortic coarctation to establish a rat CHF model.After modeling,60 CHF rats were randomly divided into CHF group,low and high dose ATG group(ATG-L and ATG-H groups,10 and 20 mg/kg,respectively),ATG+NC group[20 mg/kg ATG+100 μl high mobility group protein B1(HMGB1)negative control plasmid],and ATG+HMGB1 group(20 mg/kg ATG+100 pl HMGB1 overexpression plasmid),with 12 rats per group.After 4 weeks of corresponding intervention,heart function,levels of B-type brain na-triuretic peptide(BNP),N-terminal B-type brain natriuretic peptide precursor(NT-proBNP)andIL-6 and TNF-α,heart mass index(HMI)and left ventricular mass index(LVMI),pathological changes of myocardial tissue,cross-sectional area of myocardial cells and myocardial collagen vol-ume fraction(CVF)and protein expression of HMGB1/Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4)/NF-κB sig-naling pathway in left ventricular myocardial tissue were measured.Results Compared with the sham operation group,myocardial tissue HMGB1(0.42±0.05 vs 0.15±0.02)and TLR4(0.70± 0.09 vs 0.21±0.04)protein levels,and phosphorylated NF-κB p65(p-NF-κB p65)/NF-κB p65(0.73±0.09 vs 0.26±0.05)protein ratio were obviously increased in the CHF group,while the left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)and left ventricular short-axis fractional shortening(LVFS)were obviously decreased(P＜0.05).Myocardial tissue HMGB1(0.33±0.04、0.24±0.04 vs 0.42±0.05)and TLR4(0.56±0.06、0.41±0.05 vs 0.70±0.09)protein levels,and p-NF κB p65/NF-KB p65(0.61±0.08、0.49±0.06 vs 0.73±0.09)protein ratio were decreased,and the LVEF and LVFS were increased in the ATG-L group and ATG-H group than the CHF group(P＜0.05).Overexpression of HMGB1 obviously attenuated the inhibitory effects of ATG on HMGB1/TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway,ventricular remodeling,and inflammatory reaction in CHF rats(P＜0.05).Conclusion ATG may suppress ventricular remodeling in CHF rats by in-hibiting HMGB1/TLR4/NF-κB signaling inflammatory pathway.
