Cardioprotective role of phoenixin-14 in isoproterenol-induced myocardial injury: Involvement of AMPK, JAK2/STAT3, and Sema3E pathways
Aims
This study aimed to evaluate the cardioprotective effects of phoenixin-14 (PNX-14) in isoproterenol (ISO)-induced myocardial infarction (MI) in rats, comparing both preventive and therapeutic administration.
Materials and methods
Seventy adult male Wistar rats were divided into five groups: Control, PNX-14, ISO, ISO + PNX-14 (PNX-14 treatment after ISO), and PNX-14 + ISO (PNX-14 pretreatment before ISO). MI was induced by subcutaneous ISO (100 mg/kg/day) for two days. PNX-14 (5 nmol/kg, intraperitoneally) was administered once daily for 3 days. Biochemical, molecular, and histopathological analyses were performed to evaluate oxidative stress, inflammatory response, and apoptosis in cardiac tissue.
Key findings
PNX-14 treatment significantly reduced the ISO-induced increases in heart/body weight ratio (0.54 ± 0.05), infarct size (47.3 ± 2.51 %), apoptotic index (40.8 ± 2.99 %), and cardiac necrosis markers CK-MB and TnI (p < 0.001). It improved antioxidant defenses by increasing glutathione (GSH) and total antioxidant status (TAS), while reducing total oxidant status (TOS) and oxidative stress index (OSI). Pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-6 were lowered, and anti-inflammatory IL-10 increased. PNX-14 also attenuated apoptosis in cardiac tissue by downregulating cytochrome c, APAF-1, caspase-3, and Bax, and upregulating the anti-apoptotic marker Bcl-2. These effects were linked to modulation of Gpr173, AMPK/Nrf2/HO-1, and Sema3E/PlexinD1 pathways, alongside suppression of JAK2/STAT3 and NF-κB signaling. Furthermore, PNX-14 improved hemodynamic stability and histopathologically reduced ISO-induced myocardial damage.
Significance
These results demonstrate that PNX-14, particularly when administered after injury, effectively attenuates myocardial damage through multi-pathway regulation of oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis. PNX-14 may hold therapeutic potential for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases.
期刊介绍:
Life Sciences is an international journal publishing articles that emphasize the molecular, cellular, and functional basis of therapy. The journal emphasizes the understanding of mechanism that is relevant to all aspects of human disease and translation to patients. All articles are rigorously reviewed.
The Journal favors publication of full-length papers where modern scientific technologies are used to explain molecular, cellular and physiological mechanisms. Articles that merely report observations are rarely accepted. Recommendations from the Declaration of Helsinki or NIH guidelines for care and use of laboratory animals must be adhered to. Articles should be written at a level accessible to readers who are non-specialists in the topic of the article themselves, but who are interested in the research. The Journal welcomes reviews on topics of wide interest to investigators in the life sciences. We particularly encourage submission of brief, focused reviews containing high-quality artwork and require the use of mechanistic summary diagrams.
