Abstract:
Objective: To study the protective effect of baicalin on myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury and its correlation to myocardial cell autophagy in experimental rats. Methods: The animal models were established by intragastric infusion at 7 days prior operation in different groups.Atotal of 48 rats were divided into 4 groups: Sham operation group, Sham+baicalin group, Ischemia reperfusion (IR) group and Baicalin treatment group. n=12 in each group. Hemodynamics at different time points and myocardial infarction (MI) size at 45 min after reperfusion were recorded; protein expressions of LC3-II and autophagy-related Becl-1 at 30 min after reperfusion were examined by Westernblot analysis; the opening condition of mitochondrial membrane channel transition pore (mPTP) was detected by NAD+ content. Results: The MI sizes in Sham operation group and Sham+baicalin group were too small to compare; MI sizes in IR group and Baicalin treatment group were (41.32±1.85) % vs (23.30±1.60) %, P<0.001. Protein expressions of LC3-II in IR group and Baicalin treatment group were (1.051±0.005) and (0.863±0.009) which were both higher than Sham operation group (0.763±0.007), P<0.01;Becl-1 were (1.169±0.002) and (0.943±0.005) which were both higher than Sham operation group (0.647±0.014),P<0.01; LC3-II and in Becl-1 expressions in Baicalin treatment group were decreased than IR group, P<0.01. NAD+ contents (by nmol/mg) in IR group and Baicalin treatment group were (6.02±0.33) and (9.56±0.53) which were both lower than Sham operation group (11.28±0.37), P<0.001; NAD+ content in Baicalin treatment group was increased than IR group,P<0.01. Conclusion: Baicalin had no autophagy effect in normal myocardial cells, but it may decrease the MI size and reduce excessive autophagy in myocardial cells after IR which might be related to inhibiting mPTP opening.
