Abstract

Background: Currently, endoplasmic reticulum stress is studied utilizing a dephosphorylation inhibitor (Sal). The traditional Chinese patent medicine and simple formulation Shensong Yangxin Capsule is a commonly used medication for the treatment of arrhythmia. However, the efficacy and underlying mechanism of the capsule in treating post-ischemic heart failure in myocardial tissue have not yet been investigated.

Objective: The therapeutic effects and the underlying mechanism of the Shensong Yangxin Capsule (SSYX) and the dephosphorylation inhibitor Salubrinal (Sal) on heart failure (HF) induced by high-intensity exercise in rats with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) were investigated.

Methods: Male infants of 8 weeks Spragge-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly assigned to one of four groups: sham surgery group, AMI+placebo group, AMI+Shensong Yangxin Capsule group (AMI+SSYX), and AMI+Sal administration group. Rats' myocardial infarction was induced by left coronary artery ligation. Rats were subjected to a 3-week high-intensity exercise program to simulate heart failure after 7 days of postoperative rest. After the fourth postoperative week, echocardiography was applied to determine the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular fractional shortening (LVFS), and left ventricular systolic volume (LVESV) in each group. HE and TUNEL labeling were employed to examine the morphology of cardiac cells and measure the percentage of apoptosis in each group; Western blotting was applied to detect the cardiomyocyte apoptosis-related proteins p-JNK, p-P38, and NOX2, while ELISA was used to detect glutathione(GSH), malondialdehyde (MDA), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in serum.

Results: Following a 4-week drug intervention:(1)LVFS and LVEF in the AMI+placebo group were statistically significantly reduced, while LVESV were significantly higher, compared to those in the sham surgery group (P<0.05); The AMI+SSYX group performed statistically significantly better than the AMI+placebo group(P<0.05). (2) The myocardial cells in the AMI+placebo group exhibited significant swelling and inflammatory cell infiltration; the myocardial cells in the AMI+SSYX group and AMI+Sal group displayed mild swelling and minimal inflammatory cell infiltration; the AMI+SSYX group's myocardial cell morphology was superior to that of the AMI+Sal group; (3) The apoptosis rate of the AMI+placebo group was around 95%, greater than that of the sham surgery group (2.55%). The apoptosis rate of the AMI+SSYX group is approximately 21%, while the apoptosis rate of the AMI+Sal group is about 43%. (4) In the AMI+placebo group, p-JNK, p-P38, and NOX2 protein expression dramatically increased compared to the sham surgery group. The expression of p-P38, NOX2, and p-JNK/t-JNK was considerably reduced in the AMI+Shensong group and AMI+Sal group, compared to the AMI+placebo group. (P<0.01)The AMI+SSYX group's result is superior to that of the AMI+Sal group. (5) Compared to the sham surgery group, the serum levels of SOD and GSH were significantly lower, and MDA was significantly higher in the AMI+placebo group. Compared to the AMI+placebo group, the serum levels of SOD and GSH were significantly higher, and MDA was significantly lower in the AMI+SSYX group and the AMI+Sal group. (P<0.05)

Conclusion: In rats with acute myocardial infarction in high-intensity exercise-induced heart failure, Shensong Yangxin Capsule dramatically reduces myocardial cell death and cardiac dysfunction. SSYX has a shorter course of treatment and a better therapeutic effect than Sal.
