    Abstract Aims: We assessed the efficacy of the traditional Chinese medicine formulation Jia-Wei-Si-Miao-Yong-An decoction (HJ11) in the treatment of acute coronary syndrome and evaluated its impact on the intestinal microbiota and their metabolites.
    Methods: An acute coronary syndrome model was established in rats, which were randomly assigned to the model, HJ11 treatment, and atorvastatin treatment groups. Rats were then administered saline solution (model and sham operation control groups) or drugs by oral gavage for 28 d. Echocardiography was performed and serum creatine kinase-MB and cardiac troponin I levels were monitored to examine the cardiac function. Inflammation was evaluated using hematoxylin and eosin staining of heart tissue, and serum interleukin-2, interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor alpha, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein measurements. Gut microbiota composition was analyzed
    Results: HJ11 improved cardiac function and attenuated inflammation in rats with acute coronary syndrome. Relative to the untreated model group, the HJ11-treated group presented normalized Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio and reduced abundances of the bacterial genera
    Conclusion: This work demonstrated that HJ11 effectively treats acute coronary syndrome. HJ11 seems to increase the abundance of beneficial bacterial taxa (

    Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance: Si-Miao-Yong-An decoction (SMYAD) is a renowned traditional Chinese medicinal formula. SMYAD was originally recorded in the "Shi Shi Mi Lu", which was edited by medical scientist Chen Shi'duo during the Qing Dynasty. SMYAD has been traditionally used to treat thromboangiitis obliterans. At present, it is mainly used in clinical applications and research of cardiovascular diseases.
    Aim of the study: To explore the effects of SMYAD on the pathological changes of atherosclerosis (AS) and the differentiation of monocytes, macrophages, and regulatory T (Treg) cells in apolipoprotein E knockout (ApoE
    Materials and methods: Eight C57BL/6J mice, which were fed with normal diet for 16 weeks, were used as control group. Forty ApoE
    Results: Compared with the model group, the level of serum TC and LDL-C decreased in the SMYAD group, the pathological changes of aortic sinus decreased, and lipid infiltration of aorta and aortic sinus also decreased. These decreases were accompanied by a significant downregulation of CD36, SRA1, and LOX-1. Furthermore, the proportions of Ly6C
    Conclusions: SMYAD can improve the pathological changes associated with AS and can inhibit lipid deposition in ApoE

    Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to determine whether Si-Miao-Yong-An decoction (SMYAD) could protect cardiomyocytes from ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury and its underlying mechanisms.
    Methods: C57BL/6 mice were used to establish a model of myocardial infarction by I/R injury and treated by SMYAD for 4 weeks. Then, the cardiac functions of mice were evaluated by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). Histopathological analysis for the heart remodeling was detected by H&E and Masson staining. The protein expression of collagen I, MMP9, and TNF
    Results: SMYAD improved cardiac functions such as ventricular volume and ejection fraction of the rats with ischemia/reperfusion injury. Morphological assay indicated that SMYAD reduced the scar size and inhibited fibrosis formation. It was found that SMYAD could regulate collagen I, MMP9, and TNF
    Conclusion: SMYAD exerted protective effects on ischemia/reperfusion injury in myocardial cells by activating autophagy and inhibiting pyroptosis. This might be the reason why SMYAD protected myocardial tissue and improved cardiac function in mice with ischemia/reperfusion.

    Abstract Simiao Yong’an decoction (SMYAD), a classic traditional Chinese medicine formula, has been used to treat atherosclerosis (AS) in clinical in China, but its therapeutic mechanism and pharmacodynamic material basis are not clear. In this study, the AS model was caused by a high-fat diet and perivascular carotid collar placement (PCCP), and SMYAD was orally administered to the model and normal mice. A rapid, sensitive, selective, and reliable method using ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) system combined with a Q Exactive HF-X mass spectrometer (UHPLC-Q Exactive HF-X MS) was established and validated for the simultaneous determination of seven compounds, including harpagide, chlorogenic acid, swertiamarin, sweroside, angoroside C, liquiritin, and isoliquiritigenin in the plasma of normal and AS mice. The specificity, linearity, precision, accuracy, recovery, and stability of the method were all within the acceptable criteria. The results showed that some pharmacokinetic behaviors of harpagide, chlorogenic acid, and isoliquiritigenin were significantly different among the two groups of mice. The specific parameter changes were harpagide (AUC0–t and AUC0–∞ were 11075.09 ± 2132.38 and 16221.95 ± 5622.42 ng·mL−1·h, respectively; CLz/F was 2.45 ± 0.87 L/h/mg), chlorogenic acid (t1/2 was 21.59 ± 9.16 h; AUC0–∞ was 2637.51 ± 322.54 ng·mL−1·h; CLz/F was 13.49 ± 1.81 L/h/mg) and isoliquiritigenin (AUC0–t and AUC0–∞ were 502.25 ± 165.65 and 653.68 ± 251.34 ng·mL−1·h, respectively; CLz/F was 62.16 ± 23.35 L/h/mg) were altered under the pathological status of AS. These differences might be partly ascribed to the changes in gastrointestinal microbiota, nonspecific drug transporters, and cytochrome P450 activity under the AS state, providing research ideas and experimental basis for pharmacological effects and pharmacodynamic material basis.

    Abstract Heart failure (HF), the main cause of death in patients with many cardiovascular diseases, has been reported to be closely related to the complicated pathogenesis of autophagy, apoptosis, and inflammation. Notably, Si-Miao-Yong-An decoction (SMYAD) is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) used to treat cardiovascular disease; however, the main active components and their relevant mechanisms remain to be discovered. Based on our previous ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled to quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q/TOF-MS) results, we identified angoriside C (AC) and 3,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid (3,5-DiCQA) as the main active components of SMYAD. In vivo results showed that AC and 3,5-DiCQA effectively improved cardiac function, reduced the fibrotic area, and alleviated isoproterenol (ISO)-induced myocarditis in rats. Moreover, AC and 3,5-DiCQA inhibited ISO-induced autophagic cell death by inhibiting the PDE5A/AKT/mTOR/ULK1 pathway and inhibited ISO-induced apoptosis by inhibiting the TLR4/NOX4/BAX pathway. In addition, the autophagy inhibitor 3-MA was shown to reduce ISO-induced apoptosis, indicating that ISO-induced autophagic cell death leads to excess apoptosis. Taken together, the main active components AC and 3,5-DiCQA of SMYAD inhibit the excessive autophagic cell death and apoptosis induced by ISO by inhibiting the PDE5A-AKT and TLR4-NOX4 pathways, thereby reducing myocardial inflammation and improving heart function to alleviate and treat a rat ISO-induced heart failure model and cell heart failure models. More importantly, the main active components of SMYAD will provide new insights into a promising strategy that will promote the discovery of more main active components of SMYAD for therapeutic purposes in the future.

    Abstract Objective. The aim of this study was to determine whether Si-Miao-Yong-An decoction (SMYAD) could protect cardiomyocytes from ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury and its underlying mechanisms. Methods. C57BL/6 mice were used to establish a model of myocardial infarction by I/R injury and treated by SMYAD for 4 weeks. Then, the cardiac functions of mice were evaluated by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). Histopathological analysis for the heart remodeling was detected by H&E and Masson staining. The protein expression of collagen I, MMP9, and TNFα was detected by western blot in the heart tissues. H9C2 cells were used to establish the hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) model and SMYAD intervention. MTT assays detected the cell viability of myocardial cells. The expression level of IL-1β was evaluated by ELISA. The expression levels of LC3B-II/LC3B-I, p-mTOR, mTOR, NLRP3, procaspase 1, and cleaved-caspase 1 in H9C2 cells were evaluated by Western blot. Results. SMYAD improved cardiac functions such as ventricular volume and ejection fraction of the rats with ischemia/reperfusion injury. Morphological assay indicated that SMYAD reduced the scar size and inhibited fibrosis formation. It was found that SMYAD could regulate collagen I, MMP9, and TNFα protein expression levels in the heart tissues. SMYAD improved the survival rate of H9C2 cardiomyocytes in the H/R injury model. SMYAD elevated the rate of LC3B-II/LC3B-I protein expression, decreased the rate of p-mTOR/mTOR protein expression, and reduced expressions of caspase 1, NLRP3, and IL-1β in H/R cardiomyocytes. Conclusion. SMYAD exerted protective effects on ischemia/reperfusion injury in myocardial cells by activating autophagy and inhibiting pyroptosis. This might be the reason why SMYAD protected myocardial tissue and improved cardiac function in mice with ischemia/reperfusion.

    Abstract Si-Miao-Yong-An decoction (SMYAD) is a renowned traditional Chinese medicinal formula. SMYAD was originally recorded in the “Shi Shi Mi Lu”, which was edited by medical scientist Chen Shi'duo during the Qing Dynasty. SMYAD has been traditionally used to treat thromboangiitis obliterans. At present, it is mainly used in clinical applications and research of cardiovascular diseases.To explore the effects of SMYAD on the pathological changes of atherosclerosis (AS) and the differentiation of monocytes, macrophages, and regulatory T (Treg) cells in apolipoprotein E knockout (ApoE⁻/⁻) mice.Eight C57BL/6J mice, which were fed with normal diet for 16 weeks, were used as control group. Forty ApoE⁻/⁻ mice were randomly divided into model group, atorvastatin group, SMYAD low-dose (SMYAD-LD) group, SMYAD medium-dose (SMYAD-MD) group, and SMYAD high-dose (SMYAD-HD) group. ApoE⁻/⁻ mice were fed with western diet (WD) for 8 weeks, and the drugs were continuously administered for 8 weeks. The levels of serum total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were measured by the esterase method. Morphological changes of the aortic sinus in mice were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, the lipid infiltration of the aorta and aortic sinus were observed by oil red O staining, and the spleen index was calculated. The proportion of Ly6Cʰⁱᵍʰ and Ly6Cˡᵒʷ monocyte subsets, macrophages, and their M1 phenotype, as well as Treg cells in spleen were measured by flow cytometry. The expressions of cluster of differentiation 36 (CD36), scavenger receptor A1 (SRA1), lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1 (LOX-1), F4/80, and fork head frame protein 3 (FOXP3) in aortic sinus were assessed by immunohistochemical staining. The serum levels of oxidized low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-18, transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), and IL-10 were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA).Compared with the model group, the level of serum TC and LDL-C decreased in the SMYAD group, the pathological changes of aortic sinus decreased, and lipid infiltration of aorta and aortic sinus also decreased. These decreases were accompanied by a significant downregulation of CD36, SRA1, and LOX-1. Furthermore, the proportions of Ly6Cʰⁱᵍʰ pro-inflammatory monocyte subsets, macrophages, and their M1 phenotypes in spleen decreased significantly, while the proportion of Treg cells increased. In addition, while the expression of F4/80 decreased, the expression of FOXP3 increased in the aorta sinus. The levels of serum pro-inflammatory factors IL-1β and IL-18 decreased.SMYAD can improve the pathological changes associated with AS and can inhibit lipid deposition in ApoE⁻/⁻ mice induced by WD diet. The likely mechanism is the inhibition of the differentiation and recruitment of monocytes and macrophages, the promotion of the differentiation and recruitment of Treg cells, as well as the reduction of the secretion of pro-inflammatory factors.

    Abstract: ... which may cause cardiac dysfunction, morbidity, and death. Traditional Chinese medicine formula Si-Miao-Yong ...

    Abstract Myocardial fibrosis is well-known to be the aberrant deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM), which may cause cardiac dysfunction, morbidity, and death. Traditional Chinese medicine formula Si-Miao-Yong-An Decoction (SMYAD), which is used clinically in cardiovascular diseases has been recently reported to able to resist myocardial fibrosis. The anti-fibrosis effects of SMYAD have been evaluated; however, its intricate mechanisms remain to be clarified. Here, we found that SMYAD treatment reduced the fibrosis injury and collagen fiber deposition that could improve cardiac function in isoprenaline (ISO)-induced fibrosis rat models. Combined with our systematic RNA-seq data of SMYAD treatment, we demonstrated that the remarkable up-regulation or down-regulation of several genes were closely related to the functional enrichment of TGF-β and AMPK pathways that were involved in myocardial fibrosis. Accordingly, we further explored the molecular mechanisms of SMYAD were mainly caused by AMPK activation and thereby suppressing its downstream Akt/mTOR and TGF-β/SMAD3 pathways. Moreover, we showed that the ECM deposition and secretion process were attenuated, suggesting that the fibrosis pathological features are changed. Interestingly, we found the similar AMPK-driven pathways in NIH-3T3 mouse fibroblasts treated with ISO. Taken together, these results demonstrate that SMYAD may be a new candidate agent by regulating AMPK-driven Akt/mTOR and TGF-β/SMAD3 pathways for potential therapeutic implications of myocardial fibrosis.
