ABSTRACT
Adverse cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI) is associated with extremely high mortality rates worldwide. Although optimized medical therapy, Preservation of lusitropic and inotropic function and protection against adverse remodeling in ventricular structure remain relatively frequent. This study demonstrated that Andrographolide (Andr) significantly ameliorated adverse cardiac remodeling induced by myocardial infarction and improves contractile function in mice with LAD ligation compared with the control group. Briefly, Andr markedly attenuated cardiac fibrosis and relieved inflammation after myocardial infarction. Specifically, Andr significantly blocked oxidative stress and the nuclear translocation of p-P65 following myocardial infarction. At the mechanistic level, antioxidant effect of Andr was achieved through strengthening antioxidative stress capacity and attributed to the activation of Nrf2/HO-1 Signaling. Consistently, H9C2 administrated with Andr showed a decreased oxidative stress caused by hypoxia precondition, but treatment with specific Nrf2 inhibitor (ML385) or the silence of Nrf2 blunted the activation of Nrf2/HO-1 Signaling and removed the protective effects of Andr in vitro. Thus, we suggest that Andr alleviates adverse cardiac remodeling following myocardial infarction through enhancing Nrf2 signaling pathway.
