Astragaloside IV (AS/IV) is one of the extracted components from the traditional Chinese medicine Astragalus which has been demonstrated to have potential capacity for anti-inflammation activity and for treating cardiovascular disease. Our purpose was to determine the function and underlying molecular mechanism of AS/IV in hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injured in cardiomyocytes. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened using bioinformatic analysis, and the molecular targeting relationship was verified by the dual-luciferase report system. H/R injured cardiomyocytes were employed to explore the effect of AS/IV. QRT-PCR and Western blot analysis were applied to detect the expression of mRNA and proteins, respectively. Additionally, superoxide dismutase (SOD), lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) and MDA (malondialdehyde) levels were detected to determine the oxidative damage. Cell viability was assessed by CCK-8, and flow cytometry was used to evaluate cell apoptosis ratio. TGFBR1 and TLR2 were selected as DEGs. Additionally, AS/IV could enhance cell proliferation and upregulated miR-101a expression, which suppressed TGFBR1 and TLR2 expression in H/R injured cardiomyocytes. Moreover, the results of Western blot exhibited that the downstream genes (p-ERK and p-p38) in the MAPK signaling pathway were suppressed, which meant AS/IV could inhibit this pathway in H/R injured cardiomyocytes. Overall, this study demonstrated AS/IV could attenuate H/R injury in human cardiomyocytes via the miR-101a/TGFBR1/TLR2/MAPK signaling pathway axis, which means that it could serve as a possible alternate for H/R treatment.
黄芪甲苷(AS/IV)是从中药黄芪中提取的成分之一,具有潜在的抗炎活性和治疗心血管疾病的能力。我们的目的是确定 AS/IV 在缺氧/复氧(H/R)损伤的心肌细胞中的功能和潜在分子机制。通过生物信息学分析筛选差异表达基因(DEGs),并通过双荧光素酶报告系统验证分子靶向关系。采用 H/R 损伤的心肌细胞来探讨 AS/IV 的作用。应用 QRT-PCR 和 Western blot 分析分别检测 mRNA 和蛋白的表达。此外,通过超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)和 MDA(丙二醛)水平检测来确定氧化损伤。通过 CCK-8 评估细胞活力,通过流式细胞术评估细胞凋亡率。选择 TGFBR1 和 TLR2 作为 DEGs。此外,AS/IV 可以增强细胞增殖并上调 miR-101a 的表达,从而抑制 H/R 损伤的心肌细胞中 TGFBR1 和 TLR2 的表达。此外,Western blot 的结果表明,MAPK 信号通路中的下游基因(p-ERK 和 p-p38)被抑制,这意味着 AS/IV 可以抑制 H/R 损伤的心肌细胞中的该通路。总的来说,这项研究表明 AS/IV 可以通过 miR-101a/TGFBR1/TLR2/MAPK 信号通路轴减轻人心肌细胞的 H/R 损伤,这意味着它可以作为 H/R 治疗的一种替代方法。
