摘要
Shensong Yangxin (SSYX) is a traditional Chinese medicine been widely used clinically to treat various arrhythmias including atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the role and precise mechanism of SSYX in MS-induced AF have not yet been elucidated.To elucidate the protective effects of SSYX on MS-induced AF and its possible mechanisms of action.Male Wistar rats (180-220 g) were fed a 16-week high-carbohydrate, high-fat (HCHF) diet together with 25% fructose in drinking water to produce a MS model. Low-concentration (SSYX-L, 0.4 g/kg) and high-concentration (SSYX-H, 0.8 g/kg) of SSYX were given by daily gavage 8-weeks following HCHF diet for 8-weeks. In vivo electrophysiological study, histological analysis, RNA-sequence (RNA-Seq) and gene ontology (GO) analysis, qRT-PCR and western blot were performed.Both low-concentration and high-concentration of SSYX could inhibit MS-induced AF susceptibility, electrical remodeling and structural remodeling. Results from RNA-sequence analysis revealed intracellular iron homeostasis mediated the protective effect of SSYX against MS. In vivo and in vitro experiments both demonstrated that SSYX up-regulated ferroportin (Fpn) expression and ameliorated intracellular iron overload induced by MS. To verified whether Fpn is the target of SSYX and intracellular iron overload mediated the protective effect of SSYX against MS, adeno-associated virus type 9 (AAV9) delivery system was used. Knocking down Fpn (AAV9-shFpn) markedly aggravated the reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, electrical remodeling and atrial fibrosis induced by MS, leading to a further increase of AF susceptibility induced by MS.Our study demonstrated for the first time that SSYX reduced AF susceptibility, inhibited electrical remodeling and structural remodeling via up-regulating Fpn, decreasing intracellular iron overload and reducing ROS production. These results suggest that SSYX might be a potential therapeutic agent for the treatment of MS-induced AF.
