Intermedin Attenuates Myocardial Infarction Through Activation Of Autophagy In A Rat Model Of Ischemic Heart Failure Via Both Camp And Mapk/Erk1/2 Pathways
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CLINICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL PATHOLOGY(2015)
Abstract
Intermedin is a proopiomelanocortin-derived peptide before opioid promoting cortical hormone, its main function embodies in mononuclear macrophages and neutrophilic granulocytes to inhibit the proinflammatory cytokines. The aim of this study is to determine intermedin attenuates myocardial infarction and its related mechanisms in a rat model of ischemic heart failure. After rat model of ischemic heart failure was set up, myocardial infarction, blood levels of activities of creatine kinase (CK), the MB isoenzyme of creatine kinase (CK-MB), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and cardiac troponin T (cTnT) were effectively reduced by treatment with intermedin. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in a rat model of ischemic heart failure were recovered by pretreatment with intermedin. Administrate of intermedin availably promoted cAMP contents and suppressed caspase-3 protein in ischemic heart failure rat. ERK1/2 and LC3 protein expression were significantly activated and autophagy was significantly promoted by intermedin in a rat model of ischemic heart failure. These results indicate that intermedin protected rat heart, attenuates myocardial infarction from ischemic heart failure in the rat model. The underlying mechanisms may include upregulation of cAMP, ERK1/2 and LC3 protein expression and activating of autophagy.
