Abstract

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is an acute heart disease. Cycloastragenol, as a natural product, inhibits inflammation and protects cardiomyocytes. Cycloastragenol (Y006) modulates inflammation in AMI is not known. To explore the function of Cycloastragenol in AMI, this study investigated the effect of Y006 and its mechanisms both in vitro and in vivo. Y006 influences the concentration of 11 proteins, as shown by a proteomics analysis, immunohistochemistry and western blotting. Among these 11 proteins, Erk1/2, PLCG1, IKBKG, and ZEB1 are related to inflammatory regulation. BAX, COX2, and GSK3β are involved in modulating cardiomyocyte apoptosis, and RhoA and DSC2 are directly associated with myocardial function. However, the functions of ARHGAP17 and Rit2 in heart are less well established. Additionally, Y006 suppressed TNF-α, IFN-γ and IL-17 production in PBMCs (peripheral blood monocytes) from patients with acute myocardial infarction and enhanced IL-10 and IL-4 expression. Similar results were obtained in a rat model of AMI by flow cytometry detection and ELISA. Our findings indicate that Y006 protects rats from AMI through direct or indirect inhibition of inflammation and cardiomyocyte apoptosis. However, the specific mechanism of Y006's protective function requires further study. Nonetheless, this research revealed a novel aspect for the treatment of myocardial infarction. SIGNIFICANCE: In the present study, we undertook the first proteomic evaluation of Cycloastragenol (Y006) function in acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Y006 significantly improved myocardial function in vivo by regulating multiple molecular expressions. Hypoxia is a direct reason for AMI. And our data support a role of Y006 in gene expression, cell apoptosis under hypoxia. The conclusions of this research assist to explain the potential molecular mechanism in Cycloastragenol treating AMI and supply a new method for ameliorating AMI.
