Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is an important complication leading to the death of patients with diabetes, but there is no effective strategy for clinical treatments. Fufang Zhenzhu Tiaozhi (FTZ) is a patent medicine that is a traditional Chinese medicine compound preparation with comprehensive effects for the prevention and treatment of glycolipid metabolic diseases under the guidance of "modulating liver, starting pivot and cleaning turbidity". FTZ was proposed by Professor Guo Jiao and is used for the clinical treatment of hyperlipidemia. This study was designed to explore the regulatory mechanisms of FTZ on heart lipid metabolism dysfunction and mitochondrial dynamics disorder in mice with DCM, and it provides a theoretical basis for the myocardial protective effect of FTZ in diabetes. In this study, we demonstrated that FTZ protected heart function in DCM mice and downregulated the overexpression of free fatty acids (FFAs) uptake-related proteins cluster of differentiation 36 (CD36), fatty acid binding protein 3 (FABP3) and carnitine palmitoyl transferase 1 (CPT1). Moreover, FTZ treatment showed a regulatory effect on mitochondrial dynamics by inhibiting mitochondrial fission and promoting mitochondrial fusion. We also identified in vitro that FTZ could restore lipid metabolism-related proteins, mitochondrial dynamics-related proteins and mitochondrial energy metabolism in PA-treated cardiomyocytes. Our study indicated that FTZ improves the cardiac function of diabetic mice by attenuating the increase in fasting blood glucose levels, inhibiting the decrease in body weight, alleviating disordered lipid metabolism, and restoring mitochondrial dynamics and myocardial apoptosis in diabetic mouse hearts.
糖尿病心肌病(DCM)是导致糖尿病患者死亡的重要并发症,但目前临床上尚无有效的治疗策略。复方珍珠降脂胶囊(FTZ)是一种中药复方制剂,在“调肝启枢、化浊解毒”理论的指导下,具有综合防治糖脂代谢性疾病的作用。FTZ 是由郭姣教授提出的,用于治疗高脂血症。本研究旨在探讨 FTZ 对 DCM 小鼠心脏脂质代谢功能障碍和线粒体动力学紊乱的调节机制,为 FTZ 治疗糖尿病心肌保护作用提供理论依据。本研究表明,FTZ 可保护 DCM 小鼠心功能,下调游离脂肪酸(FFAs)摄取相关蛋白 CD36、FABP3 和 CPT1 的过度表达。此外,FTZ 治疗通过抑制线粒体分裂和促进线粒体融合对线粒体动力学具有调节作用。我们还在体外证实,FTZ 可恢复 PA 处理的心肌细胞中与脂质代谢、线粒体动力学和线粒体能量代谢相关的蛋白。本研究表明,FTZ 通过减轻空腹血糖升高、抑制体重减轻、改善脂质代谢紊乱以及恢复糖尿病小鼠心脏中线粒体动力学和心肌细胞凋亡,改善糖尿病小鼠的心脏功能。
