    摘要:

    背景:环孢素A(Cs-A)是一种用于器官移植的免疫抑制药物,其药物毒性的发生与病理相关的信号通路激活有关。同时,银杏叶补剂(GBS)作为一种增强型抗氧化植物药产品,被广泛用于治疗神经和血管功能障碍。目的:探讨GBS改善Cs-A诱导的Wistar大鼠心脏毒性的作用。方法:研究纳入20只Wistar大鼠(n = 5),分组给药如下:1组给予蒸馏水(10 mL/kg),2组给予Cs-A(25 mg/kg),3组给予GBS(50 mg/kg),4组给予Cs-A(25 mg/kg)和GBS(50 mg/kg),腹腔注射14天后,动物安乐死,收集心脏组织进行生化分析和免疫组化分析,同时采集外周血进行生化分析。结果:该研究结果显示,与对照组相比,GBS降低了Cs-A诱导的血清中AST、ALT、ALP、LDH和GGT水平的升高。此外,GBS还降低了氧化应激标志物如MDA、NO,以及胆固醇、甘油三酯、低密度脂蛋白、肌酸激酶同工酶、肌钙蛋白-I、促炎细胞因子(IL-6和TNF-α)和心脏脏器指数。GBS 可逆转Cs-A诱导的低密度脂蛋白、抗氧化因子(GSH、SOD、CAT)、Na-K ATP酶活性降低和抗凋亡因子Bcl-2水平的下降。此外,GBS治疗显著改善了ERK1/2、mTOR信号通路的激活和心室厚度。结论:该研究结果表明,GBS通过激活mTOR/ERK1/2信号通路来改善CS-A诱导的心脏毒性。

    Abstract:

    Background Cyclosporine-A (Cs-A), an immunosuppressant drug indicated for organ transplant patients has been associated with toxicities arising from activation of pathological signalling. Meanwhile Ginkgo biloba supplement (GBS) is an antioxidant-enhancing herbal product widely used for treating neurological and vascular dysfunctions. Objectives This study investigated the ameliorative effect of GBS on cyclosporine-A induced cardiotoxicity in Wistar rats. Methods The study included 20 Wistar rats (n = 5) and they were treated as follows: group 1 received distilled water (10 mL/kg), group 2 received Cs-A (25 mg/kg), group 3 received GBS (50 mg/kg) and group 4 received Cs-A (25 mg/kg) and GBS (50 mg/kg). All treatment were done intraperitoneal for 14 days and thereafter, animals were euthanised and heart tissues were harvested for biochemical assays as well as immunohistochemical studies. Blood was also collected for serum biochemical studies. Results Our results revealed that GBS reduces Cs-A induced increase of AST, ALT, ALP, LDH, and GGT levels in serum relative to Cs-A group. Also, increased oxido-nitrergic markers like MDA, NO, together with elevated concentrations of cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, creatine kinase-MB, troponin-I, as well as pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, and TNF-α) and heart weight index were reduced by GBS. The Cs-A induced suppression of low-density lipoprotein, antioxidant (GSH, SOD, CAT), Na-K ATPase activities and antiapoptotic element, Bcl-2 were increased by GBS. Additionally, signalling pathways including ERK1/2, and mTOR as well as ventricular thickness were significantly alleviated by GBS treatment. Conclusion The findings suggest that GBS ameliorated Cs-A-induced cardiotoxicity by activating mTOR/ERK1/2 signalling pathways.
