Objective To explore the mechanism of Danggui Buxue Decoction (DBD) promoting angiogenesis in ischemic myocardium through regulating autophagy by establishing a rat model of myocardial ischemia and a hypoxia model of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Methods SD male rats were randomly divided into six groups: sham operation group, model group, Shexiang Baoxin Pills (SBP, positive control, 20 mg·kg-1) group, and DBD low, medium, and high dose (1.56, 3.12, and 6.24 g·kg-1) groups. Except for the control group, myocardial ischemia models were established in rats by ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery. Drug administration via ig route began two days after surgery, once daily for seven days. The rat model of myocardial ischemia was prepared by ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery. The myocardial infarct size in rats was observed by 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining. The pathological damage of myocardial tissue was observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. The expression levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in serum were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The ultrastructure of myocardium and the generation of autophagosomes were observed by transmission electron microscopy. The expression of autophagy-related proteins Beclin-1 and LC3- II/I in myocardial tissue was determined by Western blotting. The co-expression of autophagy-related protein LC3 and vascular factor CD31 was observed by immunofluorescence co-localization. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were cultured in vitro and divided into six groups: control group, DBD (400 mg·L-1) group, DBD (400 mg·L-1) + 3-MA (5 mmol·L-1) group (cultured under normoxic conditions), and model group, DBD group, DBD + 3-MA group (cultured under hypoxic conditions for 24 h). Cell viability was detected by CCK-8 assay. Cell migration ability was evaluated by Transwell assay. Cell tube formation ability was detected by Matrigel assay. The expression of autophagy-related proteins Beclin-1 and LC3-Ⅱ/Ⅰ in cells was detected by Western blotting. Results In vivo experimental results showed that DBD could significantly reduce the myocardial infarct size in rats (P < 0.01), improve the pathological damage of myocardial tissue, and significantly up-regulate the expression levels of VEGF and bFGF in serum (P < 0.01). It could significantly improve the damage degree of mitochondria in myocardial tissue, reduce vacuolization, increase the number of autophagosomes, significantly up-regulate the expression levels of autophagy-related proteins LC3-II/I and Beclin-1 in myocardial tissue (P < 0.01), and significantly increase the co-expression rate of LC3 and CD31 immunofluorescence (P < 0.01). In vitro experimental results showed that compared with the normal control group, the viability of HUVECs was significantly decreased after 24 h of hypoxia treatment (P < 0.01). DBD could significantly improve the viability of HUVECs under hypoxic conditions, promote cell migration and tube formation, and up-regulate the expression of autophagy-related proteins LC3-II/I and Beclin-1 (P < 0.01). After adding the autophagy pathway inhibitor 3-MA, the above effects of DBD were inhibited. Conclusion DBD can promote angiogenesis in rats' ischemic myocardium, and its mechanism may be related to the regulation of autophagic response.
