Abstract
To analyse the mechanism of Nardostachyos Radix et Rhizoma-Salidroside in the treatment of Premature Ventricular Brats by using network pharmacology and molecular docking and to provide the basis for developing the use of experimental and clinical traditional Chinese medicine. The chemical compositions of Nardostachyos Radix et Rhizoma and Salidroside were determined, and their related targets were predicted. The disease-related targets were obtained by searching the common disease databases Genecards, OMIM, Drugbank and DisGeNET, and the intersection between the predicted targets and the disease targets was determined. Then using the STRING database to set up the protein‒protein interactions (PPIs) network between Nardostachyos Radix et Rhizoma-Salidroside and the common targets of PVB. An "herb-ingredient-target" network was constructed and analyzed by Cytoscape3.7.2 software. Using the metascape database to analysis the predicted therapeutic targets based on the GO and KEGG. Finally, molecular docking technology was used toconfirm the capacity of the primary active ingredients of the 2 herbs to bind to central targets using the online CB-Dock2 database. 41 active components of Nardostachyos Radix et Rhizoma-Salidroside were detected, with 420 potential targets of action, with a total of 1688 PVB targets, and the top 10 core targets of herb-disease degree values were AKT1, TNF, GAPDH, SRC, PPARG, EGFR, PTGS2, ESR1, MMP9, and STAT3. KEGG analysis indicated that its mechanism may be related to the calcium signalling pathway, cancer signalling pathway, AGE-RAGE signalling pathway and other pathways. Molecular docking suggested that main of the active ingredients of the Nardostachyos Radix et Rhizoma-Salidroside pairs were well bound to the core targets. Based on novel network pharmacology and molecular docking validation research methods, we revealed for the first time the potential mechanism of Nardostachyos Radix et Rhizoma-Salidroside in PVB therapy.

Peptides 2023; 159:170904. [PMID: 36375660 DOI: 10.1016/j.peptides.2022.170904] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2022] [Revised: 11/09/2022] [Accepted: 11/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Abnormal Ca2+ handling is a pivotal element of atrial fibrillation (AF) substrates. Catestatin (CST) modulates intracellular Ca2+ handling in cardiomyocytes (CMs). We investigated the effects of CST administration on atrial Ca2+ handling and AF susceptibility in rats with post-infarction heart failure (HF). METHODS Myocardial infarction (MI) was established by ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery in rats. Two-week later, rats with post-infarction HF were randomly treated with saline (MI group) or CST (MI + CST group) for 4-week. Cellular Ca2+ imaging was performed by incubating atrial CMs with Fura-2 AM. An in vitro electrophysiological study was performed to assess the vulnerability to action potential duration (APD) alternans and AF. Ca2+ handling proteins expression was determined using western blotting. RESULTS In atrial CMs, compared with the sham group, the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ load, Ca2+ transient (CaT) amplitude, and threshold for Ca2+ alternans were significantly decreased, but the diastolic intracellular Ca2+ level, SR Ca2+ leakage, and spontaneous Ca2+ events were markedly increased in the MI group. However, CST attenuated these Ca2+-handling abnormalities induced by post-infarction HF. Moreover, vulnerability to atrial APD alternans and AF was significantly increased in isolated hearts from the MI group compared to the sham group, whereas all effects were prevented by CST. CST treatment also preserved SR Ca2+-ATPase protein expression but decreased the protein levels of phosphorylated-ryanodine receptor 2 and phosphorylated-Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II in atria from post-infarction HF rats. CONCLUSION Chronic CST treatment reduces AF vulnerability in rats with MI-induced HF by improving Ca2+ handling.

Abstract
Increased inflammation is found in cardiac sympathetic neural remodeling with malignant ventricular arrhythmia (VA) following myocardial infarction (MI). Butyrate, as a microbiota-derived short-chain fatty acid, can inhibit inflammation and myocardial hypertrophy. However, the role of butyrate in sympathetic neural remodeling after MI is unknown. This study aimed to investigate whether butyrate could improve cardiac dysfunction and VA following MI by regulating inflammation and sympathetic neural remodeling. MI rats were randomized to administrate the butyrate or vehicle through intraperitoneal injection to undergo the study. Our data demonstrated that butyrate treatment preserved the partial cardiac function at 7 days post-MI. Butyrate downregulated the expression of essential for inflammatory response in the infarct border zone at 3 days post-MI. Particularly, butyrate promoted expression of M2 macrophage markers. Increased expressions of nerve growth factor and norephinephrine at 7 days after MI were inhibited in butyrate-treated rats. Furthermore, butyrate significantly decreased the density of nerve fibers for growth-associated protein-43 and tyrosine hydroxylase and resulted in fewer episodes of inducible VA. In conclusion, butyrate administration ameliorated cardiac function and VA after MI possibly through promoting M2 macrophage polarization to suppress inflammatory responses and inhibit sympathetic neural remodeling and may present an effective pharmacological strategy for the prevention of MI-related remodeling.

Abstract
Inflammation serves a critical role in driving sympathetic neural remodeling following myocardial infarction (MI), and activin A has been implicated as an important mediator of the inflammatory response post-MI. However, whether activin A impacts sympathetic neural remodeling post-MI remains unclear. In the present study, the authors assessed the effects of activin A on sympathetic neural remodeling in a rat model of MI. Rats were randomly divided into sham, MI, and MI + follistatin-300 (FS, activin A inhibitor) groups. Cardiac tissues from the peri-infarct zone were assessed for expression of sympathetic neural remodeling and inflammatory factors in rats 4 weeks post-MI by western blotting and immunohistochemical methods. Heart function was assessed by echocardiography. It is demonstrated that FS administration significantly reduced post-MI upregulation of activin A, nerve growth factor protein lever, and the density of nerve fibers with positive and protein expression of sympathetic neural remodeling markers in nerve fibers, which included growth associated protein 43 and tyrosine hydroxylase. In addition, inhibition of activin A reduced cardiac inflammation post-MI based on the reduction of i) interleukin-1 and tumor necrosis factor-α protein expression, ii) numbers and/or proportional area of infiltrating macrophages and myofibroblasts and iii) phosphorylated levels of p65 and IκBα. Furthermore, activin A inhibition lessened heart dysfunction post-MI. These results suggested that activin A inhibition reduced sympathetic neural remodeling post-MI in part through inhibition of the inflammatory response. The current study implicates activin A as a potential therapeutic target to circumvent sympathetic neural remodeling post-MI.

Abstract
Current therapies are less effective for treating sustained/permanent versus paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). We and others have previously shown that histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibition reverses structural and electrical atrial remodeling in mice with inducible, paroxysmal-like AF. Here, we hypothesize an important, specific role for class I HDACs in determining structural atrial alterations during sustained AF. The class I HDAC inhibitor N-acetyldinaline [4-(acetylamino)-N-(2-amino-phenyl) benzamide] (CI-994) was administered for 2 weeks (1 mg/kg/day) to Hopx transgenic mice with atrial remodeling and inducible AF and to dogs with atrial tachypacing-induced sustained AF. Class I HDAC inhibition prevented atrial fibrosis and arrhythmia inducibility in mice. Dogs were divided into three groups: 1) sinus rhythm, 2) sustained AF plus vehicle, and 3) sustained AF plus CI-994. In group 3, the time in AF over 2 weeks was reduced by 30% compared with group 2, along with attenuated atrial fibrosis and intra-atrial adipocyte infiltration. Moreover, group 2 dogs had higher atrial and serum inflammatory cytokines, adipokines, and atrial immune cells and adipocytes compared with groups 1 and 3. On the other hand, groups 2 and 3 displayed similar left atrial size, ventricular function, and mitral regurgitation. Importantly, the same histologic alterations found in dogs with sustained AF and reversed by CI-994 were also present in atrial tissue from transplanted patients with chronic AF. This is the first evidence that, in sustained AF, class I HDAC inhibition can reduce the total time of fibrillation, atrial fibrosis, intra-atrial adipocytes, and immune cell infiltration without significant effects on cardiac function.

Abstract
Inflammation-dominated sympathetic sprouting adjacent to the necrotic region following myocardial infarction (MI) has been implicated in the etiology of arrhythmias resulting in sudden cardiac death; however, the mechanisms responsible remain to be elucidated. Although being a key immune mediator, the role of Notch has yet to be explored. We investigated whether Notch regulates macrophage responses to inflammation and affects cardiac sympathetic reinnervation in rats undergoing MI. MI was induced by coronary artery ligation. A high level of Notch intracellular domain was observed in the macrophages that infiltrated the infarct area at 3 days post-MI. The administration of the Notch inhibitor N-N-(3,5-difluorophenacetyl-L-alanyl)-S-phenylglycine-t-butyl ester (DAPT) (intravenously 30 min before MI and then daily until death) decreased the number of macrophages and significantly increased the M2 macrophage activation profile in the early stages and attenuated the expression of nerve growth factor (NGF). Eventually, NGF-induced sympathetic hyperinnervation was blunted, as assessed by the immunofluorescence of tyrosine hydroxylase. At 7 days post-MI, the arrhythmia score of programmed electric stimulation in the vehicle-treated infarcted rats was higher than that in rats treated with DAPT. Further deterioration in cardiac function and decreases in the plasma levels of TNF-α and IL-1β were also detected. In vitro studies revealed that LPS/IFN-γ upregulated the surface expression of NGF in M1 macrophages in a Notch-dependent manner. We concluded that Notch inhibition during the acute inflammatory response phase is associated with the downregulation of NGF, probably through a macrophage-dependent pathway, thus preventing the process of sympathetic hyperinnervation.

Renal sympathetic denervation suppresses atrial fibrillation induced by acute atrial ischemia/infarction through inhibition of cardiac sympathetic activity. Int J Cardiol 2015; 203:187-95. [PMID: 26512836 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijcard.2015.10.120] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/20/2015] [Revised: 10/13/2015] [Accepted: 10/16/2015] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to explore the effects of renal sympathetic denervation (RSD) on atrial fibrillation (AF) inducibility and sympathetic activity induced by acute atrial ischemia/infarction. METHODS Acute ischemia/infarction was induced in 12 beagle dogs by ligating coronary arteries that supply the atria. Six dogs in the sham-RSD group did not undergo RSD, and six dogs without coronary artery ligation served as controls. AF induction rate, sympathetic discharge, catecholamine concentration and densities of tyrosine hydroxylase-positive nerves were measured. RESULTS Acute atrial ischemia/infarction resulted in a significant increase of AF induction rate, which was decreased by RSD compared to controls (P<0.05). The root-mean-square peak value, peak area and number of sympathetic discharges were significantly augmented by atrial ischemia relative to the baseline and control (P<0.05). The number of sympathetic discharges was significantly reduced in the RSD group, compared to the control and sham-RSD groups (P<0.05). Norepinephrine and epinephrine concentrations in the atria, ventricle and kidney were elevated by atrial ischemia/infarction, but were reduced by RSD (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Sympathetic hyperactivity was associated with pacing-induced AF after acute atrial ischemia/infarction. RSD has the potential to reduce the incidence of new-onset AF after acute atrial ischemia/infarction. The inhibition of cardiac sympathetic activity by RSD may be one of the major underlying mechanisms for the marked reduction of AF inducibility.

Effect of combined treatment with rosuvastatin and protein kinase Cβ2 inhibitor on angiogenesis following myocardial infarction in diabetic rats. Int J Mol Med 2014; 35:829-38.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of combined treatment with rosuvastatin and LY333531, a selective protein kinase C (PKC)β2 inhibitor, on angiogenesis under hyperglycemic conditions. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) cultured in medium containing a normal or high concentration of glucose (33.3 mmol/l) were treated with rosuvastatin (0.1 µmol/l) alone or in combination with LY333531 (10 nmol/l). HUVEC migration and tube formation were assessed. Furthermore, rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes were randomly divided into groups and treated with either rosuvastatin alone (5 mg/kg/day) or in combination with LY333531 (10 mg/kg/day) for 4 weeks following the induction of myocardial infarction (MI). Echocardiographic patterns, the extent of myocardial fibrosis, capillary density in myocardial tissue, the phosphorylation of Akt and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), as well as the expression levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and hypoxia-inducible factor 1-α (HIF‑1α) were assessed. The results from the in vitro experiment revealed that the tube-forming and migration ability of the HUVECs exposed to high-glucose medium was significantly improved in the group treated with the combination of rosuvastatin and LY333531. In vivo, the combination of rosuvastatin and LY333531 significantly improved left ventricular function, reduced the extent of myocardial fibrosis and increased myocardial capillary density compared to treatment with rosuvastatin alone. In addition, the expression levels of VEGF, and Akt and eNOS phosphorylation were significantly higher in the group exposed to the combination treatment than in the group treated with rosuvastatin alone. The results of the present study indicate that, compared to treatment with rosuvastatin alone, combined treatment with rosuvastatin and LY333531 promotes a greater level of angiogenesis in diabetic rats with MI. This effect is likely mediated through the upregulation of the VEGF‑dependent Akt/eNOS signaling pathway.

Abstract
Background Rhythm control for atrial fibrillation (AF) is cumbersome because of its progressive nature caused by structural remodelling. Upstream therapy refers to therapeutic interventions aiming to modify the atrial substrate, leading to prevention of AF. Objective The Routine versus Aggressive upstream rhythm Control for prevention of Early AF in heart failure (RACE 3) study hypothesises that aggressive upstream rhythm control increases persistence of sinus rhythm compared with conventional rhythm control in patients with early AF and mild-to-moderate early systolic or diastolic heart failure undergoing electrical cardioversion. Design RACE 3 is a prospective, randomised, open, multinational, multicenter trial. Upstream rhythm control consists of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors and/or angiotensin receptor blockers, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, statins, cardiac rehabilitation therapy, and intensive counselling on dietary restrictions, exercise maintenance, and drug adherence. Conventional rhythm control consists of routine rhythm control therapy without cardiac rehabilitation therapy and intensive counselling. In both arms, every effort is made to keep patients in the rhythm control strategy, and ion channel antiarrhythmic drugs or pulmonary vein ablation may be instituted if AF relapses. Total inclusion will be 250 patients. If upstream therapy proves to be effective in improving maintenance of sinus rhythm, it could become a new approach to rhythm control supporting conventional pharmacological and non-pharmacological rhythm control.
