Objective:To investigate the effect and possible mechanism of Qiliqiangxin capsule on myocardial fibrosis in rats with myocardial infarction(MI).Methods:The rat model of myocardial infarction was established by ligation of anterior descending branch of left coronary artery.The rats were randomly divided into model group,Qiliqiangxin capsule group,captopril group after operation.Rats that without ligation were set as parallel control group,namely,the sham group.Cardiac pathology was observed by hematoxylin eosin(HE)staining after 4 weeks of treatment.Masson staining was used to observe myocardial fibrosis and calculate collagen volume fraction(CVF).The miR-133a and expression levels of transforming growth factor β1(TGF-β1),Smad 2,Smad 3,type Ⅰ collagen(col-Ⅰ),type Ⅲ collagen(col-Ⅲ)mRNA were examined by Real-time PCR.Results:Compared with the sham group,myocardial cells in model group were disordered,CVF was significantly increased(P<0.01),the expression levels of col-Ⅰ,col-ⅢmRNA were increased(P<0.01);besides,the expression level of miR-133a was significantly decreased(P<0.01),the expression levels of TGF-β1,Smad 2 and Smad 3 mRNA were increased(P<0.05,P<0.01).Compared with the model group,the arrangement of myocardial cells in Qiliqiangxin capsule group and captopril group were orderly and CVF was significantly decreased(P<0.05);the expression level of miR-133a was increased(P<0.05,P<0.01);the expression levels of TGF-β1,Smad 2 and Smad 3 mRNA were significantly decreased(P<0.01).Conclusion:Qiliqiangxin capsule can improve myocardial infarction rat myocardial tissue fibrosis,its mechanism may be in related with the regulation on miR-133a/TGF-β1/Smads signal pathway at the genetic level.
