To investigate the regulation of energy metabolism with Danqi Tablet in a rat model of ischemic heart diseaseMethods:A rat model of ischemic heart was established by ligation of the left anterior descending coronary arteryA total of 48 rats were divided into a sham an operation group,a Danqi tablet group and trimetazidine group,with 12 rats in each groupRats in the Danqi Tablets were given a solution of Danqi Tablets at a dose of 5000 mg/kgRats in the trimetazidine group were given a solution of trimetazidine at a dose of 60 mg/kgThe other groups were given normal salineAfter 1 month of treatment,cardiac function,myocardial tissue cytopathological changes,myocardial ATP levels,and AMPK/SIRT1/PGC-1α signaling pathway and downstream molecular expression were evaluatedResults:Echocardiography showed that compared with the model group,LVIDs and LVIDd in the Danqi tablet group were reduced by 2635% and 2073%,while EF and FS increased by 3161% and 4282%,and the difference was significant(P<005)The results of HE staining showed that the cardiomyocytes in the Danqi tablet group were arranged neatly,the cell edema was reduced,the cell gap was reduced,and the inflammatory cells were decreasedCompared with the model group,the myocardial ATP level of the Danqi tablet group increased significantly(P<005).Immunohistochemical staining showed that the PGC-1α positive staining score of rats in the Danqipian group was significantly higher than that of the model group(P<005)Western Blotting showed that the expression levels of AMPK,SIRT1,PGC-1α,MFN1,MFN2 and SOD2 were significantly increased in the Danqi Tablets group compared with the model group(P<005)Conclusion:Danqi Tablet can play a cardioprotective function in the rat model of ischemic heart disease and up-regulate ATP productionDanqi Tablets activate the AMPK/SIRT1/PGC-1α signaling pathway and its downstream molecules,improve energy metabolism and also regulate mitochondrial biogenesis,thereby improving rat cardiac function and preventing myocardial damage.
