Mangiferin prevents myocardial infarction-induced apoptosis and heart failure in mice by activating the Sirt1/FoxO3a pathway.

ABSTRACT: Myocardial infarction (MI) commonly leads to cardiomyocyte apoptosis and heart failure. Mangiferin is a natural glucosylxanthone extracted from mango fruits and leaves, which has anti-apoptotic and anti-inflammatory properties in experimental cardiovascular diseases. In the present study, we investigated the role and detailed mechanism of mangiferin in MI. We used ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery to establish an MI model in vivo, and cardiomyocyte-specific Sirt1 knockout mice were used to identify the mechanism of mangiferin. For in vitro studies, oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD) was used to mimic ischaemia in H9c2 cardiomyocytes. In mice, mangiferin treatment increased Sirt1 expression after MI, significantly reduced the infarct area, and prevented MI-induced a
