Autophagy-driven lipid regulation by an herbal decoction alleviates cardiac lipotoxicity in severe acute pancreatitis.

ABSTRACT: Rationale: Myocardial injury is a common and life-threatening complication of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) and is driven primarily by metabolic disturbances. This study aimed to elucidate the pathogenesis of SAP-induced cardiac injury (SACI) and to identify effective therapeutic strategies. Methods: Untargeted metabolomics and proteomics analyses were employed to identify metabolic pathways and proteins associated with myocardial injury in SACI mouse model. Histological and Western blot assays were used to assess lipid droplet (LD) accumulation, the expression of autophagy markers, and LD-autophagosome colocalization. The traditional Chinese medicine formula Taohong Siwu Decoction (THSWD) was tested for its therapeutic potential in a SACI mouse model and a SACI cardiomyocy
