Abstract

Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a polyphenol derived from green tea, exhibits a wide range of biological activities, including antioxidant, atherosclerosis and antitumor activities. In this study, the cardioprotective effects of EGCG on myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats and the underlying mechanisms were investigated. A rat model of I/R injury was established by ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery for 30 min, followed by reperfusion for 2 h. The levels of I/R-induced creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) and the release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), as well as the infarct size, cardiomyocyte apoptosis and cardiac functional impairment were examined and compared. Western blot analysis was carried out to elucidate the potential molecular mechanisms of action of EGCG. The results revealed that EGCG post-conditioning significantly decreased the levels of CK-MB and the release of LDH, reduced the myocardial infarct size, decreased the apoptotic rate and partially preserved heart function. Furthermore, EGCG decreased the expression of cleaved caspase-3 concomitantly with the upregulation of PI3K, and the phosphorylation of Akt and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). It also inhibited I/R-induced overautophagy and promoted the clearance of autophagosomes, as evidenced by a decrease in the ratio of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3)-II/LC3-I, the downregulation of Beclin1, Atg5 and p62, and the upregulation of active cathepsin D. Additionally, we observed an increase in the phosphorylation levels of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) following treatment with EGCG. Taken together, the findings of this study demonstrate that, EGCG post-conditioning alleviates myocardial I/R injury by inhibiting apoptosis and restoring the autophagic flux, which is associated with several targets of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.
