PG - 174450 LID - S0014-2999(21)00604-X [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.ejphar.2021.174450 [doi] AB - This study aims to investigate the effects of beta-elemene on a mouse model of heart failure (HF) and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms in vitro approaches. In this study, left anterior descending (LAD)-induced HF mouse model and oxygen-glucose deprivation/recovery (OGD/R)-induced H9C2 model were leveraged to assess the therapeutic effects of beta-elemene. Histological examination, western blot and quantitative real-time PCR analysis (RT-qPCR) and immunofluorescence staining was utilized to elucidate mechanism of beta-elemene in lipid-induced inflammation. Results showed that beta-elemene improved heart function in HF mice evidenced by the increase of cardiac ejection fraction (EF) and fractional shortening (FS) values. Furthermore, beta-elemene administration rescued ventricular dilation, lipid accumulation, and inflammatory infiltration in arginal areas of mice myocardial infarction. At transcription level, beta-elemene augmented the mRNA expression of fatty acid oxidation-associated genes, such as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-beta (PPARbeta). In vitro, treatment of beta-elemene increased carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1A (CPT1A) and sirtuin 3 (SIRT3). Hallmarks of inflammation including the nuclear translocation of nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB) and the degradation of inhibitory kappaBalpha (IkappaBalpha) were significantly suppressed. Consistently, we observed down-regulation of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and pro-inflammatory cytokines (such as TNFalpha) in beta-elemene treated H9C2 cells. Finally, molecular docking model predicted an interaction between beta-elemene and PPARbeta protein. Furthermore, beta-elemene increased the expression of PPARbeta, which was validated by antagonist of PPARbeta and siRNA for PPARbeta. CI - Copyright (c) 2021. Published by Elsevier B.V.
