AbstractSalidroside (SAL) is the major ingredient of Rhodiola rosea, and has been traditionally used in Chinese medicine for decades. Numerous studies have demonstrated the protective effects of SAL for myocardial ischemia. However, it is yet to be deciphered whether SAL has cardioprotective effects after myocardial infarction (MI) in vivo. In the present study, we established a mouse MI model via coronary artery ligation. The aim was to investigate whether SAL treatment could reduce mortality, improve cardiac function and attenuate myocardial remodeling in MI mice. Post-surgery, mice were randomly administered SAL or normal saline. After 21 days, SAL was found to significantly reduce mortality, improve cardiac function, reduce fibrosis and infarct size compared to normal saline. In addition, oral administration of SAL could attenuate myocardial inflammation and apoptosis and promote angiogenesis. SAL down-regulated the expression levels of TNF-α, TGF-β1, IL-1β, Bax and up-regulate the expression of Bcl-2, VEGF, Akt and eNOS. These results indicated that SAL could alleviate the pathological processes of myocardial remodeling in MI mice, and may be a potentially effective therapeutic approach for the management of clinical ischemic cardiovascular diseases.

SummaryAcute myocardial infarctions were produced by ligature of the left frontal descending coronary artery in 9 dogs. The possibility of scintigraphic imaging with 99mTc-DMSA 4 hrs after intravenous administration was studied. The infarctions were 4, 24 and 48 hrs old. The in vivo scan was positive in only one dog with a 4-hr old infarction. The in vivo scans were confirmed by the analysis of the radioactivity in tissue samples. The accumulation of the radiopharmaceutical increased slightly in 48-hr old lesions; however, this increase was not sufficient for a positive scintigraphic finding. Thus, we do not recommend 99mTc-DMSA for clinical use in acute lesions.

Abstract Cardiac ischemia impairs angiogenesis in response to hypoxia, resulting in ventricular remodeling. Garcinoic acid (GA), the extraction from the plant garcinia kola, is validated to attenuate inflammatory response. However, the role of GA in heart failure (HF) and neovascularization after myocardial infarction (MI) is incompletely understood. The present study is striving to explore the role of GA and the potential mechanism of which in cardiac function after MI. SD rats were randomized into sham group, MI+vehicle group, and MI+GA group in vivo. Human umbilical endothelial cells (HUVECs) were cultured in vehicle or GA, and then additionally exposed to 2% hypoxia environment in vitro. MI rats displayed a dramatically reduced myocardial injury, cardiac function and vessel density in the peri-infarcted areas. GA delivery markedly improved cardiac performance and promoted angiogenesis. In addition, GA significantly enhanced tube formation in HUVECs under hypoxia condition. Furthermore, the expressions of pro-angiogenic factors HIF-1α, VEGF-A and bFGF, and pro-angiogenic proteins phospho-VEGFR2Tyr1175 and VEGFR2, as well as phosphorylation levels of Akt and eNOS were increased by GA treatment. In conclusion, GA preserved cardiac function after MI probably via promoting neovascularization. And the potential mechanism may be partially through upregulating the expressions of HIF-1α, VEGF-A, bFGF, phospho-VEGFR2Tyr1175 and VEGFR2 and activating the phosphorylations of Akt and eNOS.

Objective: We sought to assess the cardiac protective effects after MI of (1) PC differentiated directly into cardiomyocytes (CM) and endothelial cells (EC) to the site of injury, or (2) paracrine factors released from PC. Methods: These concepts were evaluated by using iPSC-derived PC genetically modified to express the herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase (TK) under the control of cardiomyocyte (NCX1) or endothelial cell (VE-cadherin) specific promoters. PC expressing the TK permitted ablation at the first week or the third week by iv ganciclovir (GCV). If GCV applied at the first week, but not at the third week, altered cardiac function, we would conclude that myocardial contractile recovery depends on CM and EC-derived from iPSC. If the beneficial effects on cardiac function persisted after GCV was given at the third week, we would surmise that the PC effect was via by a paracrine action. MI created by ligation of LAD, the cell patch with PC was applied to the scarred myocardium. Rats were treated with GCV at 1 or 3 weeks to ablate implanted PC. Echocardiography, vessel density, and histological analysis were used to obtain endpoints for this study. Result: In vivo : The levels of IGF-1α and VEGF released from ischemic tissues were significant higher in the cell patch group. Heart function, infarction size, and vessel density were significantly improved after cell patch treatment. However, this beneficial effect on cardiac function was completely abolished in the group given GCV at week 1, but only partially abolished in the group given GCV at week 3 compared to the untreated cell patch group. Conclusions: Taken together, these data support our conclusion that iPSC-derived cardiovascular lineages (CM and EC) contribute directly to an improved cardiac performance and attenuated remodeling, and that paracrine factors also play a supporting role in the restoration of heart function after MI.
