Effect of Compound Longmaining on TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB p65 Signaling Pathway in Rats with Acute Myocardial Infarction / 中国实验方剂学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective: To investigate the protective effect of compound Longmaining isoprenaline hydrochloride-induced myocardial infarction model and its effect on Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4)/myeloid differentiation factor 88(MyD88)/nuclear transcription factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway.Method: Forty-eight male SD rats were randomly divided into 6 groupsnormal group,model group,compound salvia miltiorrhiza drop pill group (0.072 9 g·kg-1),and low,medium and high-dose compound Longmaining decoction groups (0.36,0.71,1.43 g·kg-1).The acute myocardial infarction model was induced through subcutaneous injection with isoproterenol.The pathological changes of myocardial tissue were examined by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining.The levels of interleukin-1β(IL-1β),interleukin-6(IL-6),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),monocyte chemotaxis protein-1(MCP-1) and nitrogen (NO) in serum were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).The expression levels of inhibitors of NF-κB kinase subunit-β(IKKβ),NF-κB inhibitor α(IκBα),TLR4,MyD88 and NF-κB p65 were measured by immunohistochemical staining and Western blot.Result: Compared with normal group,the myocardial injury in model group was obvious.The levels of IL-1β,IL-6,TNF-α,MCP-1 and NO in serum increased significantly (PκBα decreased significantly (Pβ,TLR4,MyD88 and NF-κB p65 increased significantly in myocardial tissue (Pβ,IL-6,TNF-α,MCP-1 and NO levels in the serum (PκBα(Pβ,TLR4,MyD88 and NF-κB p65(PConclusion: Compound Longmaining plays a protective effect on acute myocardial infarction by regulatingthe expressions of TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB p65 signaling pathway and relevant inflammatory factors.
