Oxidative stress plays an important role in the pathogenesis of myocardial infarction (MI). bee pollen extract (SCBPE) possesses powerful antioxidant capacity. This study aimed to further explore the antioxidative and cardioprotective effects of SCBPE on acute MI induced by isoprenaline (ISO) in rats. The rats were intragastrically administrated with SCBPE (600, 1200, or 1800 mg/kg/day) and Compound Danshen dropping pills (270 mg/kg/day) for 30 days, then subcutaneously injected with ISO (65 mg/kg/day) on the 29th and 30th day. Compared with the model group, pretreatment with middle and high doses of SCBPE significantly reduced serum aspartate transaminase, lactate dehydrogenase, and creatine kinase activities and increased myocardial superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and catalase activities. The histopathologic aspects showed that pathological heart change was found in the model group and reduced to varying degrees in the SCBPE groups. Moreover, the protein expression of nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf-2), heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), and Bcl2 in the heart increased in the SCBPE groups, while that of Bax decreased compared to the model group. Besides this, uridine was isolated from bee pollen for the first time. This study could provide a scientific basis for using bee pollen as a functional food for the prevention of MI.
氧化应激在心肌梗死 (MI) 的发病机制中起着重要作用。蜂花粉提取物 (SCBPE) 具有强大的抗氧化能力。本研究旨在进一步探讨 SCBPE 对异丙肾上腺素 (ISO) 诱导的大鼠急性 MI 的抗氧化和心脏保护作用。大鼠连续 30 天灌胃给予 SCBPE(600、1200 或 1800 mg/kg/天)和复方丹参滴丸(270 mg/kg/天),然后在第 29 天和第 30 天皮下注射 ISO(65 mg/kg/天)。与模型组相比,中、高剂量 SCBPE 预处理可显著降低血清天冬氨酸转氨酶、乳酸脱氢酶和肌酸激酶活性,并增加心肌超氧化物歧化酶、谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶和过氧化氢酶活性。病理形态学方面,模型组出现病理性心脏改变,SCBPE 组则有所减轻。此外,SCBPE 组心脏中核因子-红细胞 2 相关因子 2 (Nrf-2)、血红素加氧酶-1 (HO-1) 和 Bcl2 的蛋白表达增加,而 Bax 的蛋白表达则低于模型组。此外,首次从蜂花粉中分离出尿苷。本研究可为将蜂花粉作为预防 MI 的功能性食品提供科学依据。
