[Effect of Acanthopanax senticosus Polysaccharides on Cardiac Endogenous Metabolism in Rats Based on Metabolomics].

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: Using metabolomics method to study the influence of Acanthopanax senticosus polysaccharides on cardiac endogenous metabolism in rats, in order to find potential biomarkers and analyze the metabolic pathways which can explore the pharmacological effects and mechanisms of action. METHODS: 20 SD rats were randomly divided into two groups, the blank and Acanthopanax senticosus polysaccharides treatment groups, which were treated with saline and Acanthopanax senticosus polysaccharide for 20 days. On the 21th day,heart tissue were collected and each sample extract was analyzed by UPLC-Q-TOF/MS. RESULTS: 20 potential biomarkers and 6 major metabolic pathways related to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases were identified. CONCLUSION: Acanthopanax senticosus polysaccharides has a certain pharmacological effects on cardio-cerebro vascular diseases, cancer and other diseases. Its mechanism may be related to the metabolic process of amino acids, fatty acid and folate.
