Effects of cinnamic acid and its mechanisms on pressure overload⁃induced pathological myocardial hypertrophy in mice
To investigate the therapeutic effects of cinnamic acid (CA) on pathological myocardial hypertrophy and its underlying mechanisms.
Methods
2
①
In vivo
experiments were conducted using transverse aortic constriction (TAC) surgery to induce a myocardial hypertrophy model in C57BL/6J male mice, which were randomly divided into four groups: Sham controls, TAC, low-dose CA (CA-L), and high-dose CA (CA-H) groups. Four weeks after TAC surgery, transthoracic echocardiography was performed to assess the impact of CA on the cardiac structure and function in mice. Cardiac hypertrophy was evaluated by cardiac mass indexes and wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) staining. ②
In vitro
experiments involved using phenylephrine (PE) to induce hypertrophy in H9c2 cardiomyocytes, with rhodamine-phalloidin and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) staining assessing cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. Mitochondrial function was assessed using the mitochondrial membrane potential assay kit with JC-1 (JC-1), red mitochondrial superoxide indicator (MitoSOX) fluorescent probe, mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) assay kit, and enhanced ATP assay kit.
Results

①
In vivo
experiments demonstrated that CA significantly antagonized TAC-induced pathological myocardial hypertrophy (
P
<
0.05), as
evidenced by transthoracic echocardiography, cardiac mass index, and WGA staining. ②
In vitro
experiment findings: The staining results with rhodamine-phalloidin and ANP indicated that CA significantly suppressed PE-induced hypertrophy in H9c2 cardiomyocytes (
P
<
0.05). JC-1 staining revealed that CA significantly attenuated PE-induced impairment of mitochondrial membrane potential in cardiomyocytes (
P
<
0.05). MitoSOX labeling further revealed that CA significantly mitigated PE-induced increases in mitochondrial superoxide production in H9c2 cardiomyocytes (
P
<
0.05). mPTP assay kit showed that CA significantly attenuated PE-induced mPTP opening in H9c2 cardiomyocytes (
P
<
0.05). Enhanced ATP assay kit indicated that CA significantly prevented the PE-induced reduction in ATP production in cardiomyocytes (
P
<
0.05).
Conclusion
2
CA effectively mitigates TAC-induced pathological myocardial hypertrophy, possibly through direct antagonistic actions on cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and protective effects on mitochondria.
