ABSTRACT
The pathological changes of the heart after myocardial infarction (MI) are complex, involving multiple molecular mechanisms and various cells, such as myocardial cells, endothelial cells, fibroblasts, and macrophages. With multiple targets, Chinese medicine demonstrates ideal cardioprotective effect. However, the complex mechanism of multi-component Chinese medicine formulas has not been elucidated, thus limiting the further application. The high-throughput single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) technology offers single-cell transcriptome analysis of hundreds of drugs under different processing conditions in a single experiment and identifies the differences in the response of different cells and cell subtypes to drug treatment. scRNA-seq technology helps us to understand the exact cellular and molecular mechanisms of cardiac remodeling from acute ischemic events to chronic cardiac scarring. The application of scRNA-seq to studying the cardioprotective mechanism of Chinese medicine after MI can boost the development of Chinese medicine, help obtain richer, more accurate and comprehensive information. It can give us a clear insight into the mechanism of Chinese medicine based on complex network. In this study, we summarized the research on cardioprotective mechanism of Chinese medicine and introduced the development of scRNA-seq technology and the application to MI research. Finally, we explored the possible application prospects of scRNA-seq in the research on cardioprotective mechanism of Chinese medicine after MI, hoping to provide ideas for the modernization of Chinese medicine.
