[Abstract]
Objective To explore the effect and mechanism of latifolin from the Dalbergiae Odoriferae Lignum against acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in mice by regulating macrophage metabolism. Methods (1) Fifty male ICR mice were randomly divided into control,model,Metoprolol (17.5 mg·kg-1 ),and latifolin low- (5 mg·kg-1 ) and high-dose (20 mg·kg-1 ) groups,with 10 mice per group. An AMI model was established by subcutaneous injection of isoproterenol (10 mg·kg-1 ) for 14 days. Drugs were administered via tail vein injection once daily for 2 consecutive weeks. Electrocardiographic parameters (heart rate, QTC interval, QRS duration, ST-segment deviation) were recorded. Serum levels of creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB),cardiac troponin I (cTn-I),and homocysteine (HCY),as well as cardiac tissue levels of interleukin-1β(IL-1β),IL-6,and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),were measured by ELISA. Cardiac histopathology was assessed by HE staining.(2) RAW264.7 cells were stimulated with 2.5 ng·mL-1 interferon-γ (IFN-γ) + 200 ng·mL-1 lipopolysaccharide (LPS) for 12 hours to establish an inflammatory model. Cells were divided into control,model,and latifolin low- (5 μg·mL-1 ),medium- (10 μg·mL-1 ),and high-dose (20 μg·mL-1 ) groups for 24 hour. Cell viability was assessed by CCK-8 assay. mRNA expression of TNF-α,IL-1β,IL-6,PI3K,AKT1, and NF-κB was measured by RT-qPCR. Intracellular metabolites were quantified by HPLC-MS. Molecular docking was performed to evaluate latifolin’s binding affinity with PI3K,AKT1,and NF-κB. Results (1) On the whole animal level,compared with the control group,the heart rate,QTC interval,QRS duration and ST segment offset of the model group were significantly increased (P<0.01);the serum levels of CK-MB,cTn-I and HCY were significantly increased (P<0.01); the contents of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF- α in myocardial tissue of mice were significantly increased (P<0.01). The myocardial fibers of mice were broken and a large number of macrophages infiltrated. Compared with model group, the heart rate, QRS duration and ST segment offset in latifolin high-dose group were significantly decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01). The serum levels of CK-MB, cTn-I and HCY were significantly decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01). The contents of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF- α in myocardial tissue of mice were significantly decreased (P<0.01),and the level of TNF-α in the heart tissue of mice in the high-dose latifolin group was significantly decreased (P<0.01 ). Myocardial fiber dissolution and inflammatory macrophage infiltration were decreased.(2) Latifolin at concentrations of 5–20 μg·mL-1 had no significant effect on RAW264.7 cell viability (P> 0.05). Compared with the control group,the model group exhibited significantly elevated mRNA expression levels of IL-1β,IL-6,TNF-α,PI3K,AKT1,and NF- κB (P<0.01),along with increased levels of the metabolites S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) and L-homocysteine (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the medium- and high-dose latifolin groups showed significantly reduced mRNA expression of TNF- α, IL-1β, IL-6, PI3K,AKT1,and NF-κB (P<0.01),decreased levels of SAM and L-homocysteine (P<0.01),and increased L-cystathionine levels (P<0.01). Metabolomic analysis revealed that latifolin significantly modulated 20 biomarkers, primarily involved in cysteine and methionine metabolism pathways. Molecular docking results indicated strong binding affinity between latifolin and PI3K, AKT1, and NF- κB. Conclusion Latifolin mitigates myocardial injury and inflammation after myocardial infarction in AMI mice, likely by regulating macrophage cysteine and methionine metabolism and inhibiting the PI3K/AKT/NF-κB pathway.
