ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effect of Simiaoyongan decoction with Shengmai decoction on apoptosis of hypoxia/reoxygenation model of primary cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes. Methods The combination of trypsin and collagenase was used to isolate neonatal rat myocardial cells. Hypoxia/reoxygenation model of cardiomyocytes was made by high purity nitrogen gas. Primary cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were randomly divided into control group, model group and treatment group (treated with Simiaoyongan decoction and Shengmai decoction). The myocardial apoptotic rates were detected by Annexin V-FITC/PI double-staining method. Results Compared with the control group, the apoptotic rate of model group and treatment group was high (P<0.05). Drug intervention lowered the apoptotic rate compared with the model group, the difference was significant (P <0.05). Conclusion The alcohol sedimentation solution of Simiaoyongan decoction with Shengmai decoction played a protective role on hypoxia/reoxygenation cardiomyocytes.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effect of marrow mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs)transplantation combined with Qidantongmai tablet and simple MSCs transplantation on myocardial cells apoptosis and heart function in acute myocardial ischemia rats.Method Rat MSCs were isolated by density gradient method,and then cultured and amplified to the third passage labeled with BrdU.16 SD rats were divided into two groups randomly,transplantation combined with Qidantongmai tablet group and simple transplantation group.The isochoric of suspension of Qidantongmai tablet(2 g/kg)and NS were administered to SD rats by gastrogavage respectively for 14 days.The left anterior descending coronary artery of rat was ligated to establish animal models of acute myocardial infarction.The MSCs labeled with BrdU were implanted intramyocardially into the infarct area.After 3 hours,the heart function were detected by an echocardiographic system(HP 5500 system),equipped with a 12 MHz probe.After 4 weeks,the heart function were rechecked and MVD were detected by immunofluorescence,myocardial cells apoptosis were detected by TUNNEL.Results Heart function were improved in both groups,and was more significant in MSCs transplantation combined with Qidantongmai tablet group.Apoptotic index were decreased and the MVD of ischemic zone were increased in transplantation combined with Qidantongmai tablet group than simple transplantation group.Conclusion MSCs transplantation combined with Qidantongmai tablet could improve heart function of acute myocardial ischemia rats,decrease apoptosis of myocardial cells,increase the MVD of ischemic zone,the therapeutic effect were more significant than simple MSCs transplantation.
