| الملخص: | Background<p>Angiotensin II (Ang II) type 1 receptor (AT1R) signaling pathway is a key component of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) that is involved in the development of hypertension. Chronic Ang II overactivation results in pathological cardiac hypertrophy that progresses into decompensated cardiac dysfunction and impairment. Qingda granule (QDG) is a Traditional Chinese formula that has been used clinically in treating hypertension and its complications.</p>Purpose<p>This study aimed to elucidate the role and underlying mechanisms of QDG in preventing Ang II-induced cardiac hypertrophy.</p>Methods<p>We used chronic Ang II infusion via minipumps in mice and administered QDG daily to examine the effects of QDG on preventing hypertension and various parameters of cardiac impairment.</p>Results<p>QDG treatment significantly reduced Ang II-induced elevation in blood pressure. Furthermore, QDG exerted a robust cardioprotective effect on chronic Ang II-induced cardiac hypertrophy and decompensated cardiac dysfunction. QDG also inhibited Ang II-induced adverse NF-κB signaling activation and downstream pro-inflammatory targets, which were prevented via administration with SC75741, a specific NF-κB inhibitor.</p>Conclusion<p>Our findings provide further insight into the robust ability of QDG in preventing Ang II-induced cardiac hypertrophy via preventing NF-κB signaling activation and implicate its use in the clinical treatment of hypertension and cardiac hypertrophy.</p> |
