Abstract

Heart failure, a major public health issue, often stems from prolonged stress or damage to the heart muscle, leading to cardiac hypertrophy. This can progress to heart failure and other cardiovascular problems. Doxorubicin (DOX), a common chemotherapy drug, and isoproterenol (ISO), a β-adrenergic agonist, both induce cardiac hypertrophy through different mechanisms. This study investigates TongGuanWan (TGW,), a traditional herbal remedy, for its effects on cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis in DOX-induced H9c2 cells and ISO-induced mouse models. TGW was found to counteract DOX-induced increases in H9c2 cell surface area (n = 8, p < 0.01) and improve biomarkers like ANP (n = 3, p < 0.01)) and BNP (n = 3, p < 0.01). It inhibited the MAPK pathway (n = 4, p < 0.01) and GATA-4/calcineurin/NFAT-3 signaling, reduced inflammation by decreasing NF-κB p65 translocation, and enhanced apoptosis-related factors such as caspase-3 (n = 3, p < 0.01), caspase-9 (n = 3, p < 0.01), Bax (n = 3, p < 0.01), and Bcl-2 (n = 3, p < 0.01). Flow cytometry showed TGW reduced apoptotic cell populations. In vivo, TGW reduced heart (n = 8~10, p < 0.01), and left ventricle weights (n = 6~7), cardiac hypertrophy markers (n = 3, p < 0.01), and perivascular fibrosis in ISO-induced mice, with Western blot analysis confirming decreased levels of fibrosis-related factors like fibronectin, α-SMA (n = 3, p < 0.05), and collagen type I (n = 3, p < 0.05). These findings suggest TGW has potential as a therapeutic option for cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Myocardial infarction (MI) is a leading cause of heart failure, characterized by adverse cardiac remodeling. This study evaluated the cardioprotective potential of Dohongsamul-tang (DHT), a traditional Korean herbal formula, in a rat model of MI-induced heart failure. Rats underwent left anterior descending (LAD) artery ligation and were treated with either 100 mg/kg or 200 mg/kg of DHT daily for 8 weeks. DHT treatment significantly improved cardiac function, as evidenced by increased ejection fraction (EF) from 62.1% to 70.1% (100 mg/kg) and fractional shortening (FS) from 32.3% to 39.4% (200 mg/kg) compared to the MI control group. Additionally, DHT reduced infarct size by approximately 63.3% (from 60.0% to 22.0%) and heart weight by approximately 16.7% (from 3.6 mg/g to 3.0 mg/g), and significantly decreased levels of heart failure biomarkers: LDH was reduced by 37.6% (from 1409.1 U/L to 879.1 U/L) and CK-MB by 47.6% (from 367.3 U/L to 192.5 U/L). Histological analysis revealed a reduction in left ventricle (LV) fibrosis by approximately 50% (from 24.0% to 12.0%). At the molecular level, DHT inhibited the expression of phospho-JAK by 75% (from 2-fold to 0.5-fold), phospho-STAT3 by 30.8% (from 1.3-fold to 0.9-fold), Bax/Bcl-2 by 56.3% (from 3.2-fold to 1.4-fold), and caspase-3 by 46.3% (from 1.23-fold to 0.66-fold). These results suggest that DHT exerts cardioprotective effects by modulating the JAK/STAT3 signaling pathway, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic option for heart failure.
