| Objective: To study the intervention effect of Terminalia chebula on H9C2 myocardial cell injury caused by aconitine,the main component of Terminalia chebula,and to clarify the toxicity of Terminalia chebula and its protective effect on the heart by two different methods.The changes in the expression of gene and protein at the cellular level revealed the mechanism by which Terminalia chebula alleviated the damage of myocardial cells caused by aconitine,the main component in Aconitum chebula,and further clarified the mechanism by which Terminalia chebula could relieve the toxicity of Aconitum chebula.Method: Experiment 1: After the H9C2 cardiomyocytes were overgrown by 80% to 90%,the culture medium was dumped and washed twice with PBS,then 0.25% trypsin of 1ml was added for digestion.The petri dishes were placed in the incubator for 2min,after which twice the amount of complete medium was added to stop digestion.The disassembled cells in the dish were blown down with a microsampler,sucked into a 15 ml centrifuge tube,and centrifuged at a speed of 1000r/min for 5min.The cell supernatant after centrifugation was poured away,and proper amount of complete medium was added for blowing.Draw 1ml of the beaten cell suspension with a microsampler and calculate with a cell counter.After adding proper amount of complete medium to dilute the cells to 1× 104 per well,H9C2 cardiomyocytes were randomly sewed into 96-well plates(100 μL/well).When the 96-well plate was filled with cells,the serum-free medium was replaced for 12 hours,and then different concentrations of aconitine were given to further screen the toxicity intensity and action time of aconitine on H9C2 cardiomyocytes,and IC50 was determined.After the concentration of aconitine injury was determined,myocardial cells were treated with aconitine injury in advance,and then treated with different concentrations of Terminalia chebula water extract and Terminalia chebula alcohol extract in 96-well plates for further culture for 6h,12 h,24h and 48 h.Then the liquid was absorbed and added into serum-free medium of 100 μL and CCK-8 of 10 μL for further culture for 2h.Two hours later,the OD value was determined by enzyme plate analyzer,and the optimal concentration and time of the two extracts were screened out.The release of LDH,CK-MB,Ca+,SOD and the content of MDA and apoptosis of cells were determined to further reveal the detoxification effect of Terminalia chekrae on aconitine in the aspects of enzyme and oxidative damage.Experiment 2: As in Experiment 1,cells were diluted to 3× 105 per well with proper amount of complete medium,and then H9C2 cardiomyocytes were randomly planted in 6-well plates(2ml/ well).When the cells were filled with 6-well plates,the serum-free medium was replaced for 12 hours,and then the aconitine was given for damage for 24 hours.After two times of washing with PBS,the water extract and alcohol extract of Terminalia chebula extracted by two different methods were used for damage protection.After administration,wash twice with precooled PBS,add 500μl RNAISO PULS to each well,and stand for 5min.The sample was absorbed by a microsampler into the EP tube and put in the tube for 5min.Then,chloroform in the volume of RNAISO Puls1/5 was a dded.After the lid was put on,it was shaken violently for 15 s.After centrifugation,carefully absorb the supernatant into the new EP tube,then add isopropanol of the same volume to be gently disturbed and placed for 10 min.After that,put it into the centrifuge and centrifuge for 10 min at a speed of 12000/min.After centrifugation,there will be precipitation at the bottom of the tube.Dispose the supernatant,add 1ml 70% ethanol,cover the lid,vibrate up and down,and then put it into the centrifuge and rotate at 12000/min for 5min.Discard the supernatant,leave the lid open for 5-10 min,volatilize the ethanol,add in 20μL RNASE-FREE WATER,and mix well.The RNA concentration of each group was measured by RNA concentration measuring instrument,and the q PCR loading volume was 3-5μL.The prepared mixture was added ℃to the eight tubes,mixed evenly with a microsampler and incubated at 42 for 2min with a thermal circulator.Add 5μl 4× ⅢHifair Supermix Plus and incubate for 5min at 25℃ ℃,15 min at 55 and 5min at 85℃.The resulting c DNA was used to prepare the mixture with a description of the reaction system.Add 2μl sample and 18μl reaction solution to the eighth tube.Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(RTPCR)was used to investigate the effects of Terminalia chekalia on the m RNA activity of cardiac ion channel genes SCN5A(sodium channel gene),Ry R2(calcium channel gene)and KCNJ2(potassium channel gene).Experiment 3: As in Experiment 1,cells were diluted to 3× 105 per well with proper amount of complete medium,and then H9C2 cardiomyocytes were randomly planted in 6-well plates(2ml/ well).When the cells were filled with 6-well plates,the serum-free medium was replaced for 12 hours,and then the aconitine was given for damage for 24 hours.After two times of washing with PBS,the water extract and alcohol extract of Terminalia chebula extracted by two different methods were used for damage protection.After administration,wash twice with pre-cooled PBS,add protein inhibitor cells into each well for 5min,then add RIPA lysate and scrape cells with a microsampler for half an hour.The resulting liquid is put into a 1.5ml centrifuge tube,and the whole operation is carried out on ice.After ℃that,it was placed in a precooled 4 low temperature and centrifuged at a high speed for 12000/5min.After centrifugation,the supernatant was sucked into a new EP tube and the protein was determined by BCA method.The electrophoresis solution is prepared in advance to perform electrophoresis.Remove the PAGE glue from the board and then transfer the egg whites to PVDF.It was closed at room temperature for 1h.I was diluted with the newly prepared blocking solution,and the protein antibody ratio was 1:500.I was placed at ℃4 and incubated overnight.Wash with TBST solution for three times,5min each time.The blocking solution was incubated at room Ⅱtemperature for 1h with the corresponding dilution.Wash with TBST solution for three times,5min each.Mix liquid A and B at A ratio of 1:1 and then drop into the film for 60 seconds at the same time.Then carefully absorb the chromographic solution with absorbent paper and cover it with A layer of smooth transparent paper.Put it into the cartridge and press the glue.Scan and analyze the image.Western blots were used to detect the changes of the proteins SCN5A(sodium channel protein),Ry R2(calcium channel protein)and KCNJ2(potassium channel protein)on the heart ion channel genes of Terminalia chebula to reveal the mechanism of the action of Terminalia chebula on reducing the cardiotoxicity of aconitine.Results: In Experiment 1,the damage degree of aconitine in rat H9C2 cardiomyocytes in different time periods
