Abstract:
:Oxidative stress plays a major role in myocardial injury. Morin, a bioflavonoid has known to possess various biological activities in previous studies. Hence, this study evaluated the cardioprotective mechanism(s) of Morin against isoproterenol induced myocardial necrosis in rats. Male albino Wistar rats were divided into five groups (n = 8) i.e., I (normal), II (ISO-control), III, IV and V (morin 20, 40 and 80 mg/kg respectively). Groups III, IV and V were treated orally with daily doses of Morin accordingly for 28 days. On 26th and 27th day, a single injection of isoproterenol was injected (85 mg/kg s.c.) at 24 h interval to induce myocardial necrosis in group II, III, IV and V. On 28th day, hemodynamic parameters were evaluated, animals were euthanised and heart was excised for measurement of various parameters. In ISO-control rats, there was deterioration of hemodynamic parameters, decreased anti-oxidants levels, increased cardiac injury markers and pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α and IL-6). Also, there was increased level of Bax, Caspase-3, p-JNK, p-38 and NF-κB and decreased expression of Bcl-2 and p-ERK1/2 in ISO-C group. Morin dose-dependently improved hemodynamic profile, increased anti-oxidant levels, normalized myocardial architecture and reduced inflammatory markers and apoptosis. Furthermore, immunoblot analysis of MAPK pathway proteins demonstrated the mechanism responsible for anti-apoptotic and anti-inflammatory potential of morin. Thus, this study substantiated the beneficial effect of Morin by virtue of its modulation of MAPK pathway in myocardial injury.
