DCA-TGR5 signaling activation alleviates inflammatory response and improves cardiac function in myocardial infarction
The progression of myocardial infarction (MI) involves multiple metabolic disorders. Bile acid metabolites have been increasingly recognized as pleiotropic signalling molecules that regulate multiple cardiovascular functions. G protein-coupled bile acid receptor (TGR5) is one of the receptors sensing bile acids to mediate their biological functions. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the effects of bile acids-TGR5 signaling pathways in myocardial infarction (MI).Mice underwent either the LAD ligation model of MI or sham operation. Both MI and sham mice were gavaged with 10 mg/kg/d DCA or vehicle control since 3-day before the operation. Administration of DCA improved cardiac function at the 3th-day post-MI. The effects of DCA in the heart were determined by RNA-sequencing experiments. Overall design: heart mRNA profiles of mice at 1-day post-MI
