Abstract

Aim: Heart failure (HF) post-acute myocardial infarction (AMI) contributes to increasing mortality and morbidity worldwide. Baoyuan decoction (BYD) is a well-known traditional Chinese medicine formula that exhibits myocardial protection clinically. The aim of this study was to identify the effects of BYD on oxidative stress-induced apoptosis in HF post-AMI and characterize the underlying mechanism. Methods and Results: In our study, we constructed left anterior descending (LAD)-induced AMI rat models and a macrophage-conditioned media (CM)-induced H9C2 injury model. In vivo, BYD could protect cardiac functions, decrease inflammatory cell infiltration and inhibit oxidative stress-induced apoptosis. In vitro, BYD inhibited cellular apoptosis and regulated the expressions of key apoptotic molecules, including reducing the expression of B cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) associated X protein (Bax) and cleaved caspase-3 and -9. Interestingly, the P38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)-αB-crystallin (CRYAB) signaling pathway was activated by BYD treatment, and the P38 MAPK inhibitor SB203580 could reverse the protective effects of BYD. Conclusion: This study identified that BYD protected against oxidative stress-induced myocardial apoptosis via the P38 MAPK-CRYAB pathway. CRYAB may become a novel therapeutic target for AMI.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 22 May 2018.
All research outputs
#20,504,518
of 23,070,218 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Physiology
#9,509
of 13,808 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#288,418
of 327,730 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Physiology
#351
of 475 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,070,218 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 13,808 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.6. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 327,730 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 475 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
