OBJECTIVE: Panax quinquefolius saponins (PQS) and Panax notoginseng saponins (PNS) are key bioactive compounds in Panax quinquefolius L. and Panax notoginseng, commonly used in the treatment of clinical ischemic heart disease. However, their potential in mitigating myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury remains uncertain. This study aims to evaluate the protective effects of combined PQS and PNS administration in myocardial hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injury and explore the underlying mechanisms.
METHODS: To investigate the involvement of HIF-1α/BNIP3 mitophagy pathway in the myocardial protection conferred by PNS and PQS, we employed small interfering BNIP3 (siBNIP3) to silence key proteins of the pathway. H9C2 cells were categorized into four groups: control, H/R, H/R + PQS + PNS, and H/R + PQS + PNS+siBNIP3. Cell viability was assessed by Cell Counting Kit-8, apoptosis rates determined via flow cytometry, mitochondrial membrane potential assessed with the JC-1 fluorescent probes, intracellular reactive oxygen species detected with 2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate, mitochondrial superoxide production quantified with MitoSOX Red, and autophagic flux monitored with mRFP-GFP-LC3 adenoviral vectors. Autophagosomes and their ultrastructure were visualized through transmission electron microscopy. Moreover, mRNA and protein levels were analyzed via real-time PCR and Western blotting.
RESULTS: PQS + PNS administration significantly increased cell viability, reduced apoptosis, lowered reactive oxygen species levels and mitochondrial superoxide production, mitigated mitochondrial dysfunction, and induced autophagic flux. Notably, siBNIP3 intervention did not counteract the cardioprotective effect of PQS + PNS. The PQS + PNS group showed downregulated mRNA expression of HIF-1α and BNIP3, along with reduced HIF-1α protein expression compared to the H/R group.
CONCLUSIONS: PQS + PNS protects against myocardial H/R injury, potentially by downregulating mitophagy through the HIF-1α/BNIP3 pathway.
