Tectoridin ameliorates myocardial injury after acute myocardial infarction through anti‐inflammatory and antioxidant stress mechanisms
To investigate the effect of Tectoridin on myocardial injury post⁃myocardial infarction and its underlying mechanism.
Methods
2
By ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery in mice
we established a myocardial infarction mouse model. Cardiac function (left ventricular ejection fraction [EF] and fractional shortening [FS]) was assessed using small animal echocardiography
infarct size was quantified by TTC staining
GR1 neutrophil infiltration was detected via immunofluorescence
mRNA expression of inflammatory factors (IL⁃6
TNF⁃α
and IL⁃1β) was analyzed by RT⁃qPCR
and protein levels of apoptotic markers (Bax and Bcl2) and antioxidant proteins (Sod2
Nrf2
and Ho⁃1) were measured via Western Blot. The target specificity was validated using an Nrf2 knockout mouse model.
Results
2
Tectoridin significantly improved cardiac function after myocardial infarction (ejection fraction increased from 28.4% in the MI group to 38.5% in the Tectoridin group
P
<
0.01)
reduced infarct size by approximately 21%
suppressed neutrophil infiltration and inflammatory factor expression
and upregulated antioxidant proteins Sod2
Nrf2
and Ho⁃1. Mechanistically
Tectoridin activated the antioxidant pathway by promoting Nrf2 nuclear translocation
thereby reducing reactive oxygen species accumulation and cellular apoptosis
as evidenced by a decreased Bax/Bcl2 ratio. The cardioprotective effects of Tectoridin were abolished in Nrf2⁃knockout mice
confirming Nrf2 as its critical molecular target.
Conclusion
2
Tectoridin ameliorates cardiac function and structural damage after myocardial infarction by activating the Nrf2/Ho⁃1 pathway
thereby attenuating oxidative stress
inflammation
and apoptosis.
