ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Coronary microembolization(CME)is a common complication in acute coronary syndrome and percutaneous coronary intervention, which is closely related to poor prognosis. Pyroptosis, as an inflammatory programmed cell death, has been found to be associated with CME-induced myocardial injury. Colchicine (COL) has potential benefits in coronary artery disease due to its anti-inflammatory effect. However, the role of colchicine in pyroptosis-related CME-induced cardiomyocyte injury is unclear. This study was carried out to explore the effects and mechanisms of colchicine on myocardial pyroptosis induced by CME.METHODS:
The CME animal model was constructed by injecting microspheres into the left ventricle with Sprague-Dawley rats, and colchicine (0.3 mg/kg) pretreatment seven days before and on the day of modeling or compound C(CC)co-treatment was given half an hour before modeling. The study was divided into 4 groups Sham group, CME group, CME + COL group, and CME + COL + CC group (10 rats for each group). Cardiac function, serum myocardial injury markers, myocardial histopathology, and pyroptosis-related indicators were used to evaluate the effects of colchicine.RESULTS:
Colchicine pretreatment improved cardiac dysfunction and reduced myocardial injury induced by CME. The main manifestations were the improvement of left ventricular systolic function, the decrease of microinfarction area, and the decrease of mRNA and protein indexes related to pyroptosis. Mechanistically, colchicine increased the phosphorylation level of adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK), promoted the expression of silent information regulation T1 (SIRT1), and inhibited the expression of NOD-like receptor pyrin containing 3 (NLRP3) to reduce myocardial pyroptosis. However, after CC co-treatment with COL, the effect of colchicine was partially reversed.CONCLUSION:
Colchicine improves CME-induced cardiac dysfunction and myocardial injury by inhibiting cardiomyocyte pyroptosis through the AMPK/SIRT1/NLRP3 signaling pathway.Palabras clave
