ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Luhong formula (LHF)-a traditional Chinese medicine containing Cervus nippon Temminck, Carthamus tinctorius L., Cinnamomum cassia Presl, Codonopisis pilosula( Franch.) Nannf., Astragalus membranaceus ( Fisch.) Bge. var. mongholicus ( Bge.) Hsiao, Lepidium apetalum Willd-is used in the treatment of heart failure.
AIM OF THE STUDY: To investigate the antifibrotic efficacy of LHF in a myocardial infarction-induced rat model of heart failure and to determine its mechanism of action.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: Myocardial infarction was induced in rats by coronary artery ligation, and cardiac fibroblasts were isolated. Neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (NRCMs) were isolated from 2 to 3-day-old Sprague-Dawley male rats, and cardiomyocyte hypertrophy was induced by isoprenaline. Histological examination was carried out to estimate the degree of myocardial fibrosis. Expression of gp130/JAK2/STAT3 pathway proteins was measured by western blot. The mRNA levels of downstream genes of gp130/JAK2/STAT3 pathway (i.e., CTGF, TSP-1, and TIMP1) were determined by RT-PCR; while CTGF, TSP-1, and TIMP1 protein levels were measured by ELISA. To investigate paracrine effects, cell proliferation and collagen synthesis was measured after treating cardiac fibroblasts with the conditioned media from isoprenaline-treated NRCMs.
RESULTS: Histopathological changes showed that LHF inhibited myocardial fibrosis in heart failure rats. Treatment with LHF up-regulated gp130, JAK2, and STAT3 protein expression in heart tissue, and down-regulated CTGF, TSP-1, and TIMP1 gene expression. Isoprenaline-treated NRCMs displayed lower expression of the gp130, JAK2, and STAT3 pathway proteins and higher secretion of its downstream signaling molecules (CTGF, TSP-1, TIMP1). LHF inhibited cardiac fibroblast proliferation and collagen synthesis after treatment with the conditioned media from isoprenaline-treated NRCMs.
CONCLUSION: LHF treatment attenuates myocardial fibrosis in vivo. LHF inhibits cardiac fibroblasts proliferation and collagen synthesis in a paracrine manner by activating the gp130/JAK2/STAT3 pathway in cardiomyocytes, thereby inhibiting the secretion of downstream profibrogenic cytokines.
