Objective To investigate the effects and possible mechanisms of Blumea balsamifera in improving coronary microcirculation disorders (CMD) in rats based on “Kaiqiao Tongluo”.Methods A total of 48 male SD rats were selected and randomly divided into sham group, model group, low- and high-dose group of B. balsamifera (0.05, 0.10 g/kg). Except for the sham group, which was injected with an equal amount of PBS, the other three groups were injected with polyethylene microsphere suspension into the left ventricle to prepare CMD rat models. Observing the tongue image, a macroscopic evaluation index of traditional Chinese medicine evidence, detecting the changes of mean blood flow (MBF), mean arterial pressure (MAP) and left ventricular pressure in CMD rats in hemodynamics, detecting the abnormal changes of blood viscosity, coagulation four items, and platelet function indexes in blood rheology, and the changes of the content of serum central function, endothelial function, and energy metabolism-related indexes were detected by biochemical analyzers and kits. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to observe myocardial tissue lesions, coronary microvessel area, density, diameter, voidness, and resistance to blood flow were analyzed by visualization technology combined with Angio Tool software and Poisson Leaf formula, and energy metabolism-related proteins liver kinase B1 (LKB1), AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), phospho-AMPK (p-AMPK), peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor γ coactivator-1 alpha (PGC-1a), and vascular neovascularization-related proteins vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) protein expression were detected byWestern blotting. Results Compared with the sham surgery group, B. balsamifera significantly increased MBF and MAP in CMD rats (P < 0.05, 0.01), and improved abnormal left ventricular pressure; significantly reduced mean platelet volume (MPV) and increased platelet count (PLT) in CMD rats, significantly prolonged prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), and improved abnormal hemorheology in CMD rats (P < 0.05, 0.01); significantly reduced the levels of creatine kinase (CK), creatine kinase MB (CK-MB), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), aspartate transaminase (AST), glucose (GLU), and endothelin-1 (ET-1) in serum (P < 0.05, 0.01), increased the levels of nitric oxide (NO) in serum and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in myocardial tissue (P < 0.05, 0.01), and improved endothelial function impairment and energy metabolism disorders; significantly improved decreased microvessel density, diameter and area, and elevated voidness and resistance to blood flow in CMD rats (P < 0.01). The Western blotting results showed that B. balsamifera significantly increased the protein levels of LKB1, p-AMPK/AMPK, PGC-1α, VEGF, and VEGFR2 in the myocardial tissue of CMD rats (P < 0.05, 0.01). Conclusion B. balsamifera may improve the abnormal myocardial energy metabolism in CMD rats, promote angiogenesis, and correct vascular constriction disorders to achieve the “Kaiqiao Tongluo” effect, providing new ideas for treating CMD.
