ABSTRACT
It has been previously reported that Tolllike receptor 4 (TLR4)/NFκB signaling mediates early inflammation during myocardial ischemia and reperfusion. It has additionally been suggested that resveratrol produces cardioprotective and antiinflammatory effects. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether resveratrol could modulate TLR4/NFκB signaling, reduce neutrophil accumulation and TNFα induction in an ischemia/reperfusion injured rat heart model. Rats were randomly exposed to a sham operation, myocardial ischemia and reperfusion (MI/R), MI/R + resveratrol or MI/R + resveratrol + LNAME. The data showed that following MI/R, the expression of myocardial TLR4 and NFκB increased significantly in the area of induced ischemia. As compared with MI/R, resveratrol significantly attenuated the expression of TLR4 and NFκB and reduced the levels of myeloperoxidase, serum and myocardial TNFα production, myocardial infarct size and myocardial apoptosis induced by MI/R. All the effects of resveratrol were abolished upon application of LNAME, a nitric oxide (NO) synthase inhibitor. These data provide evidence that resveratrol inhibits TLR4/NFκB signaling in the rat heart subjected to MI/R, and the antiinflammatory effect of resveratrol is associated with NO production.
