Honokiol Inhibits Atrial Metabolic Remodeling in Atrial Fibrillation Through Sirt3 Pathway.

ABSTRACT: Background and Purpose: Atrial metabolic remodeling plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of atrial fibrillation (AF). Sirtuin3 (Sirt3) plays an important role in energy homeostasis. However, the effect of Sirt3 agonist Honokiol (HL) on AF is unclear. Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine the effect of HL on atrial metabolic remodeling in AF and to explore possible mechanisms. Experimental Approach: irt3 and glycogen deposition in left atria of AF patients were examined. Twenty-one rabbits were divided into sham, P (pacing for 3 weeks), P + H treatment (honokiol injected with pacing for 3 weeks). The HL-1 cells were subjected to rapid pacing at 5 Hz for 24 h, in the presence or absence of HL and overexpression or siRNA of Sirt3 by transfection. Metabolic factor
