This study aimed to investigate the protective effects of naringin on myocardial deformation and oxidative responses in rats with sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction (SIMD).
Global and segmental layer-specific longitudinal strain (LS) was assessed by speckle tracking echocardiography. Serum levels of creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, superoxide dismutase, and malondialdehyde were measured. The activity of cleaved caspase-3 was determined by immunohistochemistry. Protein expression levels of Kelch-like ECH-related protein 1 (Keap1), nuclear erythroid factor 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) were measured by western blotting.
Naringin inhibited the lipopolysaccharide-induced decrease in global and layer-specific LS of the left ventricle. Naringin also increased superoxide dismutase expression and decreased malondialdehyde, creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, and cleaved caspase-3 expression in rats with SIMD. Furthermore, naringin increased Nrf2 and HO-1 protein expression levels, and decreased Keap1 protein expression levels in rats with SIMD.
Layer-specific LS analysis of myocardial function by speckle tracking echocardiography can reflect early changes in myocardial systolic function. Naringin may possess a protective effect through moderating lipopolysaccharide-induced myocardial oxidative stress via the Keap1/Nrf2/HO-1 pathway in rats with SIMD.
本研究旨在探讨柚皮苷对脓毒症诱导的心肌功能障碍(SIMD)大鼠心肌变形和氧化反应的保护作用。
采用斑点追踪超声心动图评估整体和节段层特异性纵向应变(LS)。测量血清肌酸激酶、乳酸脱氢酶、超氧化物歧化酶和丙二醛水平。通过免疫组织化学测定裂解半胱氨酸天冬氨酸蛋白酶-3(caspase-3)的活性。通过 Western blot 测定 Kelch 样 ECH 相关蛋白 1(Keap1)、核红细胞因子 2 相关因子 2(Nrf2)和血红素加氧酶-1(HO-1)的蛋白表达水平。
柚皮苷抑制了脂多糖诱导的左心室整体和节段层特异性 LS 的下降。柚皮苷还增加了 SIMD 大鼠中超氧化物歧化酶的表达,降低了丙二醛、肌酸激酶、乳酸脱氢酶和裂解 caspase-3 的表达。此外,柚皮苷增加了 SIMD 大鼠中 Nrf2 和 HO-1 的蛋白表达水平,并降低了 Keap1 的蛋白表达水平。
通过斑点追踪超声心动图对心肌功能的层特异性 LS 分析可以反映心肌收缩功能的早期变化。柚皮苷可能通过 Keap1/Nrf2/HO-1 通路调节脂多糖诱导的心肌氧化应激,从而对 SIMD 大鼠具有保护作用。
