Gentiopicroside alleviates acute myocardial infarction injury in rats by disrupting Nrf2/NLRP3 signaling.

ABSTRACT: The objective of the present investigation was to assess the protective impact of gentiopicroside (GPS) on acute myocardial infarction (AMI) through the modulation of NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain, leucine-rich repeat, and pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) signaling. H9c2 cells were subjected to varying concentrations of GPS, and subsequently, the cells and Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were segregated into control, model, GPS, t-BHQ (an Nrf2 activator), and GPS + ML385 (an Nrf2 inhibitor) groups. The levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were analyzed. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and cell apoptosis were assessed, while Nrf2 and the expression of the NLRP3 inflammatory body signal pathway were evaluated using western blot and
