The study aimed to observe the cardioprotective effects of Yiqi Wenyang Huoxue Lishui Recipe(益气温阳活血利水方, YWHLR)by regulating the mixed lineage kinase 3(MLK3)mediated mitochondrial unfolded protein response(UPRmt)and to explore the mechanism of YWHLR in preventing and treating heart failure.
The mouse HL-1 cardiomyocyte model was prepared using angiotensin Ⅱ(AngⅡ), followed by interventions with URMC-099, Oligomycin A and YWHLR medicated serum. The mice were divided into control, AngⅡ, AngⅡ + URMC-099, AngⅡ + Oligomycin and AngⅡ + YWHLR groups. Cell viability and proliferation were assessed using the CCK-8 assay. RT-PCR measured the levels of MLK3 and UPRmt mRNA(MLK3, CHOP, LONP1, HSP60, HSP70), and Western blot analyzed the protein levels related to MLK3 and UPRmt(MLK3, CHOP, LONP1, HSP60, HSP70). Immunofluorescence double staining was employed to detect the expressions of HSP70 and MLK3 proteins.
Compared to the control group, the AngⅡ group showed a significant increase in MLK3 expression(P<0.01)and a significant decrease in the levels of CHOP, LONP1, HSP60 and HSP70(P<0.01). The AngⅡ + URMC-099 group exhibited a significant decrease in MLK3 expression(P<0.01)and a significant increase in the levels of CHOP, LONP1, HSP60 and HSP70(P<0.01)compared to the AngⅡ group. The AngⅡ + Oligomycin group showed no significant difference in MLK3 expression(P>0.05)but a significant increase in the levels of CHOP, LONP1, HSP60 and HSP70(P<0.01). The AngⅡ + YWHLR group demonstrated a significant decrease in MLK3 expression(P<0.01)and a significant increase in the levels of CHOP, LONP1, HSP60 and HSP70(P<0.01)compared to the AngⅡ group.
YWHLR medicated serum may exert its therapeutic effects by modulating the MLK3-mediated mitochondrial unfolded protein response.
