AIM: There is little evidence proving the molecular mechanism of Wenxin Keli( WXKL). This study tried to explore the gene expression profile and pathology alteration of WXKL-treated rabbits with myocardial infarction. METHOD: Twenty male adult rabbits were randomly divided into 4 groups: sham,model,WXKL and captopril groups. Model,WXKL and captopril groups underwent the ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery,while sham group went through an identical procedure without ligation. WXKL(817 mg·kg~(-1)·d~(-1)),captopril(8 mg·kg~(-1)·d~(-1)) and distilled water(model and sham) were administered orally to the rabbits.4 weeks later,hearts were taken out for expression chip and pathological staining( HE,Masson and TUNEL) after echocardiography.RESULT: WXKL could down-regulate genes associated with inflammation( CX3CR1,MRC1,and FPR1),apoptosis( cathepsin C and TTC5) and neuro-hormonal system( ACE and EDN1),and up-regulate angiogenesis promoting gene like RSPO3,which explained why WXKL group represented with better cardiac function,less histopathological injury and slighter apoptosis. CONCLUSION:WXKL plays an important role in suppressing inflammation,inhibiting renin-angiotensin system and alleviating apoptosis,and might be a promising Chinese medicine in treating patients with myocardial infarction.
