Abstract:
Objective To investigate the impacts of wogonin on cardiac inflammation in pregnant hypertensive rats by regulating the monocyte chemotactic protein-1(MCP-1)/CC chemokine receptor 2(CCR2)signaling pathway.Methods Pregnancy hypertensive rat model was established by intragastric administration of nitroso L-arginine methyl ester.The rats were randomly divided into control group(0.9％NaCl),model group(0.9％NaCl),experimental-L,-H groups(3.33 and 13.32 mg·kg-1 Wogonin),magnesium sulfate group(intrabitoneal injection 100 mg·kg-1magnesium sulfate),recombinant rat MCP-1 protein(rRMCP-1)group(intraperitoneal injected 0.026 mg·kg-1 rRMCP-1),experimental-H+rRMCP-1 group(gavage 13.32 mg·kg-1 Wogonin+0.026 mg·kg-1 rRMCP-1),each group consisted of 12 animals.Each group was administered once a day for 7 days.The serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay;the expression of M1 and M2 macrophages in rat myocardium was detected by immunofluorescence staining;the expression of MCP-1 protein in rat myocardium was detected by Western blot.Results Serum TNF-α levels in control group,model group,experimental-L,-H groups,magnesium sulfate group,rRMCP-1 group,experimental-H+rRMCP-1 group were(10.06±0.41),(23.39±0.57),(19.89±0.62),(13.64±0.51),(12.97±0.48),(28.84±1.05)and(17.15±0.69)pg·mL-1;the fluorescence intensities expressed by M1 type macrophages were 32.26±1.43,58.84±2.11,50.66±1.89,36.69±1.57,35.87±1.59,67.73±2.01 and 48.53±1.86;the fluorescence intensities expressed by M2 type macrophages were 31.15±1.20,46.56±1.03,51.92±1.04,59.11±0.82,59.26±0.83,40.26±1.12 and 45.53±1.65;the expression of MCP-1 protein were 0.58±0.03,1.86±0.11,1.62±0.09,0.76±0.07,0.78±0.06,2.16±0.13 and 1.34±0.12,respectively.The above indicators in the model group were compared with those in the control group,compare the above indicators with the model group in the experimental-L,-H groups,magnesium sulfate group and rRMCP-1 group,the above indicators in the experimental-H group were compared with those in the experimental-H+rRMCP-1 group,the differences were statistically significant(all P＜0.05).Conclusion Wogonin may inhibit cardiac inflammatory response in pregnant hypertensive rats by inhibiting the MCP-1/CCR2 signaling pathway.
