Abstract

The natural medicinal monomer, schisandrin B (Sch B), has been shown to exert cardioprotective effects; however, the underlying mechanisms of these effects remain to be fully elucidated. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate whether Sch B attenuated myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury via the phosphoinositide 3‑kinases (PI3K)/Akt signaling pathway. To confirm this, I/R models were established in rats by ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery. A group of animals were administered with Sch B (60 mg/kg, lavage) and/or the PI3K inhibitor, LY294002 (0.3 mg/kg, intraperitoneal). Myocardial infarct size, myocardial infarct serum markers, myocardial apoptotic index and the expression of Akt were measured in each group. The results demonstrated that the administration of Sch B reduced the size of the myocardial infarct, and this effect was eliminated following LY294002 treatment. In addition, the administration of Sch B decreased the apoptotic index and the serum markers of myocardial infarction. Sch B administration also increased the expression of phosphorylated Akt, and Sch B treatment decreased the B‑cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl‑2)‑like protein 4/Bcl‑2 ratio and the expression of cleaved caspase‑3. Therefore, Sch B may protect myocardial tissue from I/R injury via the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway in rats.
