- Abstract: Objective To investigate the effect of adjuvant therapy of Shenfu Injection on NOD-like receptor protein 3(NLRP3)/cysteine-aspartic acid-specific protease 1(Caspase-1)mediated py-roptosis signaling pathway and inflammatory factor levels in rats with acute myocardial infarction(AMI).Methods A total of 40 rats were randomly divided into sham operation group,model group,betaloc group(0.9 mg/kg),and combination group(0.9 mg/kg betaloc combined with 6 mL/kg Shenfu Injection),with 10 rats in each group.The rats were treated by gavage continuously for 3 weeks.The levels of serum troponin Ⅰ(cTnⅠ),creatine kinase-MB(CK-MB),interleukin(IL)-6,IL-1β,and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)in rats were detected before modeling,after modeling,and at 3 weeks of treatment.Echocardiographic parameters such as left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF),left ventricular end-systolic diameter(LVESD),left ventricular end-diastolic diameter(LVEDD),and myocardial infarction area were compared among groups after modeling and at 3 weeks of treatment.Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR)and Western blot were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression levels of NLRP3 and Caspase-1 in the myocardium.Results Compared with the sham operation group,the levels of cTnⅠ,CK-MB,IL-6,IL-1 β,TNF-α,myocardial infarction area,and the expressions of NLRP3 mRNA and Caspase-1 mRNA in the model group were significantly increased after modeling and at 3 weeks of treatment(P＜0.05);compared with the model group,the levels of cTnⅠ,CK-MB,IL-6,IL-1β,TNF-α,myocardial infarction area,and the expressions of NLRP3 mRNA and Caspase-1 mRNA in the betaloc group and the combination group were significantly decreased at 3 weeks of treatment,and the above indicators in the combination group were significantly lower than those in the betaloc group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Adjuvant therapy of Shenfu Injection for AMI can fur-ther alleviate myocardial cell injury,shorten infarction size,and inhibit inflammatory response and pyroptosis activity.
