Protective effect of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway in puerarin pretreatment against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in rat
Objective:To investigate the protective effect of preconditioning with Puerarin on myocardial ischemia reperfusion in adult SD rats and its possible mechanism.Methods:Forty Male SD rats were divided randomly into five groups(n=8).The myocardial injury of rats ware produced by the ligation of left coronary artery for 30 min followed by 120 min reperfusion.LVSP
LVEDP
and ±dp/dtmax were recorded at ischemia 30 min
reperfusion 60
90 and 120 min.The myocardial infarct size and the level of NO and NOS were observed.Results:In group I/R
the systolic and diastolic function were significantly reduced;myocardial infarct size was increased;NO and NOS were significantly lowered compared with those in group SH(P<0.05).The systolic and diastolic function were improved;myocardial infarct size was significantly smaller;the level of NO and NOS were increased significantly in group PU as compared with those in group I/R(P<0.05).All these parameters in group PU+LY were not improved compared with those in group PU(P<0.05).There was no significant difference among the parameters of groups PU+LY
I/R+LY
and I/R.Conclusion:Preconditioning with puerarin can significantly reduce myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury
the mechanism of which is partly via PI3K-Akt signal transduction.
