Abstract:Objective: To investigate the effect of Shenfu Decoction, Qifu Decoction, Jiangfu Decoction on cardiomyocyte apoptosis through the mitochondrion signaling pathway of cardial injury model induced by adriamycin in rat. Methods : Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was applied to measure the content of Caspase-9, Caspase-3, Bcl-2, Bax and cytochrome C in cardiomyocyte mitochondria. Results : In adryamycin-induced rat group: the content of Bcl-2 in myocardial mitochondria decreased, the content of Bax increased, the content of Caspase-9, Caspase-3 and cytochrome C increased, with statistical significance (P<0.05). In Shenfu Decoction group, Qifu Decoction group and Jiangfu Decoction group: the content of Bcl-2 in myocardial mitochondria increased, the content of Bax decreased, the content of Caspase-9, Caspase-3 and cytochrome C decreased, with statistical significance (P<0.05). Conclusion : There is relationship between the content of Caspase-9, Caspase-3, Bcl-2, Bax and cytochrome C and the ocurrence and development of adriamycin-induced cardial injury. Shenfu Decoction, Qifu Decoction, Jiangfu Decoction can protect myocardium by inhibiting adriamycin-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis through the mitochondria signaling pathway.
