Objective To investigate the improvement effect of gentiopicroside on the heart of rats with heart failure, and the impact on the SIRT1/AMPK/PGC1α signaling pathway. Methods Heart failure model rats were constructed, and divided into model group, aptopril group, gentiopicroside (50, 100 mg/kg) groups, and gentiopicroside＋SIRT1 inhibitor (EX527) group, with 12 rats in each group. Another 12 healthy rats were selected as the control group. The cardiac function of rats in each group was tested. The levels of ST-2 and NT-proBNP in the serum of rats in each group, and the levels of oxidative stress factors (SOD, MDA) in the serum were detected by ELISA kit method. The pathological morphology of myocardial tissue and the collagen fiber content in myocardial tissue were detected using HE staining and Masson staining methods. The mitochondrial morphology in the myocardial tissue of rats were observed by transmission electron microscopy. The levels of inflammatory factors in the myocardial tissue of rats in each group were detected by RT-qPCR method. The protein contents of SIRT1, AMPK, PGC1α, Collagen III, Collagen I, and α-SMA of rats in each group were detected by Western blotting. Results Compared with model group, the tissue damage status and myocardial fibrosis in rats in the gentiopicroside group were significantly reduced, the mitochondrial structure was improved, the heart LVDs and LVDd indicators, serum MDA, ST-2, and NT-proBNP levels, myocardial tissue collagen volume fraction, IL-1β, IL-18, and TNF-α mRNA expression levels, collagen III, collagen I and α-SMA protein expression levels were significantly lower, the heart LVEF and FS indicators, serum SOD level, and the SIRT1, p-AMPK/AMPK, and PGC1α protein expression levels in myocardial tissue were significantly higher (P＜0.05). Compared with gentiopicroside 100 mg/kg group, the gentiopicroside＋EX527 group showed severe damage, mitochondrial swelling and rupture, the myocardial fibrosis, inflammatory response, and oxidative stress response were exacerbated, the cardiac function decreased, the expression levels of SIRT1, p-AMPK/AMPK, and PGC1α proteins were significantly lower (P＜0.05). Conclusion Gentiopicroside may alleviate myocardial inflammatory response and oxidative stress injury in heart failure rats by activating the SIRT1/AMPK/PGC1α signaling pathway, thereby exerting cardiac protective function.
