Abstract:
CONTEXT:Mechanisms by which ghrelin affords its cardioprotection in mammals remained unclear. OBJECTIVE:To examine if ghrelin confers cardio-protection during cardiac remodelling post-MI by modulating the RAF-1-MEK1/2-ERK1/2 signalling pathway. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Rats were divided into control, sham, sham + ghrelin, myocardial infarction (MI), and MI + ghrelin groups. Ghrelin (100 µg/kg) was administered for 21 days, starting one-day post-MI. RESULTS:Ghrelin enhanced cardiac contractility and the activities of antioxidant enzymes, lowered serum levels of enzyme markers of cardiac dysfunction, and lowered inflammatory mediator levels. Ghrelin increased levels of phospho-Raf-1 (Ser338), phospho-MEK1/2 (Ser217/221), phospho-ERK1/2 (Thr202/Tyr204), and of their downstream target p-BAD (Ser112) and inhibited the cleavage of caspase-3. Concomitantly, ghrelin prevented the increases in the levels of fibrotic markers, including α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), metalloproteinase-9 (MPP-9), and type III collagen. CONCLUSION:Post-MI in rats, ghrelin stimulated Raf-1-MEK1/2-ERK1/2-BAD signalling in the LV infarct areas, accounting for its anti-apoptotic effect, enhancing cardiac function, and inhibiting cardiac fibrosis during cardiac remodelling.
