Arbutin exhibits multiple effects, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and scavenging of free radicals, yet its research within the cardiovascular system remains limited.
Purpose
This study aims to investigate the effects of arbutin on myocardial infarction induced by left anterior descending (LAD) ligation in mice.
Methods
The possible mechanism of arbutin's effect on myocardial infarction was predicted through network pharmacology studies. To evaluate the impact of arbutin on cardiac function in myocardial infarction, TTC staining of the heart was performed, and echocardiography was conducted on mice at different time points. Furthermore, Western blot analysis was utilized not only to detect αSMA, Collagen I, and Collagen III, aiming to investigate the impact of arbutin on myocardial fibrosis but also to detect the influence of arbutin on the phosphorylation level of ERK1/2, thereby elucidating its potential mechanism of action.
Results
Network pharmacology data suggest that arbutin may exert a beneficial effect on myocardial infarction by modulating the ERK1/2 signaling pathway. In vivo experimental results indicate that after myocardial infarction, arbutin can alleviate myocardial fibrosis and cardiac hypertrophy, significantly improving cardiac function. Further in vitro experiments confirm that arbutin markedly reduces fibrosis-related indicators, and this process is partially achieved through the regulation of ERK1/2 phosphorylation.
Conclusion
In conclusion, this study reveals that arbutin exerts a significant protective effect by acting on the ERK1/2 signaling pathway, effectively inhibiting myocardial fibrosis, and subsequently attenuating myocardial infarction induced by LAD ligation.
期刊介绍:
Tissue and Cell is devoted to original research on the organization of cells, subcellular and extracellular components at all levels, including the grouping and interrelations of cells in tissues and organs. The journal encourages submission of ultrastructural studies that provide novel insights into structure, function and physiology of cells and tissues, in health and disease. Bioengineering and stem cells studies focused on the description of morphological and/or histological data are also welcomed.
Studies investigating the effect of compounds and/or substances on structure of cells and tissues are generally outside the scope of this journal. For consideration, studies should contain a clear rationale on the use of (a) given substance(s), have a compelling morphological and structural focus and present novel incremental findings from previous literature.
