ABSTRACT
Pathological cardiac remodeling can lead to heart failure and cardiac hypertrophy. Zizyphus jujuba var spinosa seeds contain SPN, a C-glycoside flavonoid used in traditional medicine. A growing body of evidence indicates they have pharmacological potential against a wide range of diseases. Spinosin (SPN), however, has not been examined in relation to doxorubicin (Dox) induced cardiac injuries. To find out if SPN can reverse Dox-induced cardiomyopathies, we conducted this study. Results showed that Dox treatment led to bigger cardiomyocytes, more inflammatory markers, and more cytokines. SPN treatment, however, reduced Dox-induced enlargement, attenuated hypertrophic markers, and attenuated the expression of inflammatory markers. Moreover, we saw increased levels of oxidative stress-related proteins NRF2, HO-1, and NQO-1. SPN protects against oxidative stress and inflammation-induced cardiomyopathies, according to our study.
