£ against cardiac fibrosis by inhibiting TRPM7 channel](/preview/png/5549330.png)
BackgroundAstragaloside â £ (ASG-â £, (Fig. 1) is the most active component of Chinese sp. Astragalus membranaceus Bunge (Fabaceae) that has showed antioxidant, antiapoptotic and antiviral activities among others. It is reported to play an important role in cardiac fibrosis (CF), but the mechanism remains unclear.PurposeTo investigate the mechanism of ASG-â £ on inhibiting myocardial fibrosis induced by hypoxia.Study designWe studied the relationship between anti-fibrotic effect of ASG-â £ and transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily M, member 7 (TRPM7) by in vivo and in vitro experiments.MethodsIn vivo, CF was induced by subcutaneous isoproterenol (ISO) for 10 days. Rat hearts were resected for histological experiment and reverse transcription real-time quantitative poly merase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). In vitro, molecular and cellular biology technologies were used to confirm the anti-fibrosis effect underlying mechanism of ASG-â £.ResultsHistological findings and the collagen volume fraction showed that ASG-â £ decreased fibrosis in heart tissues. Hypoxia could stimulate the proliferation and differentiation of cardiac fibroblast which indicated that the degree of fibrosis was increased significantly. Anoxic treatment could also obviously up-regulate the expression of TRPM7 protein and current. ASG-â £ groups showed the opposite results. Knock-down TRPM7 experiment further confirmed the role of TRPM7 channel in hypoxia-induced cardiac fibrosis.ConclusionOur results suggest that the inhibition of hypoxia-induced CF in vivo and in vitro by ASG-IV is associated with reduction of the expression of TRPM7. The moderate inhibition of the TRPM7 channel may be a new strategy for treating cardiac fibrosis.
