Currently, there are no specific pharmacological treatments for AF, and traditional anti-arrhythmic drugs have not achieved the desired efficacy, often resulting in a high incidence of adverse drug reactions. Thus, there is an urgent need for the development of novel anti-AF medications. Berberine, the main active component of Coptis chinensis, has been shown to have antiarrhythmic and anti-heart failure effects. However, its potential to improve atrial fibrosis and remodeling resulting from AF remains largely unexplored. In this study, we used a rapid atrial pacing (RAP) procedure to establish a rabbit model of AF associated with atrial fibrosis. Our objective was to assess the inhibitory effects of berberine on myocardial fibrosis, evaluate its impact on atrial remodeling, and investigate its underlying molecular mechanisms. Our findings indicate that berberine reduces left atrial weight and the area of myocardial fibrosis, inhibits the expression of α-SMA protein in atrial tissue, and decreases the levels of inflammation and oxidative stress. In addition, berberine effectively inhibits atrial remodeling, which may contribute to the prevention of AF. Through transcriptomics, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulations, we have tentatively confirmed that berberine may activate the AMPK-PPARα signaling pathway by directly binding to AMPK and PPARα, thereby improving atrial fibrillation.</p>","PeriodicalId":14912,"journal":{"name":"Journal of applied biomedicine","volume":"23 2","pages":"63-79"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144528074","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
