扩张型心肌病(DCM)以左心室或双心室扩大并伴心肌收缩功能下降为主要特征,左心室逆重构(LVRR)可反映治疗后心室结构和功能恢复,并与患者预后改善相关。近年来,中医药联合常规西医治疗DCM的研究逐渐增多,部分研究显示其可改善左心室射血分数、左心室内径或容积、BNP或NT-proBNP、6min步行距离及生活质量等LVRR相关指标。现有证据提示,中医药可能通过改善心肌细胞损伤与能量代谢、减轻心肌纤维化与细胞外基质重塑、调节神经内分泌激活与心室负荷等环节参与DCM患者左心室结构重塑改善和收缩功能恢复,从而促进LVRR。然而,现有研究对LVRR的判定标准尚未统一,相关临床证据仍需进一步规范和验证。鉴于此,本文旨在围绕DCM-LVRR的概念、评价指标、中医药临床证据及可能机制进行叙述性综述,以期为DCM的中西医结合治疗及后续临床研究设计提供参考。
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is mainly characterized by left ventricular or biventricular dilatation accompanied by impaired myocardial systolic function. Left ventricular reverse remodeling (LVRR) reflects the recovery of ventricular structure and function after treatment and is associated with improved prognosis. In recent years, studies on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) combined with conventional Western medical therapy for DCM have gradually increased. Some studies have shown that such combined treatment may improve LVRR-related indicators, including left ventricular ejection fraction, left ventricular diameter or volume, BNP or NT-proBNP, 6-minute walking distance, and quality of life. Current evidence suggests that TCM may contribute to left ventricular structural remodeling and systolic functional recovery in patients with DCM by alleviating myocardial cell injury, improving energy metabolism, attenuating myocardial fibrosis and extracellular matrix remodeling, and modulating neuroendocrine activation and ventricular load, thereby promoting LVRR. However, the criteria for defining LVRR remain inconsistent across existing studies, and the relevant clinical evidence requires further standardization and validation. Therefore, this narrative review aims to summarize the concept, evaluation indicators, clinical evidence of TCM, and potential mechanisms related to DCM-LVRR, with the aim of providing a reference for integrated Chinese and Western medical treatment of DCM and the design of future clinical studies.

目的 利用GEPIA数据库,包括TCGA数据库和GTEX数据库,探讨二氢丹参酮I通过氧化应激治疗胃癌的潜在靶点。方法 在数据库中检索二氢丹参酮I在胃癌中潜在靶点的文献,利用GEPIA数据库工具分析二氢丹参酮I在胃癌中的潜在作用机制,分析潜在靶基因与表达关键抗氧化应激蛋白基因的相关性;二氢丹参酮I对胃癌潜在靶基因表达水平的分析;二氢丹参酮I对胃癌潜在靶基因的预后分析。结果 二氢丹参酮I对潜在靶基因的主要靶向基因(蛋白)为缺氧诱导因子-1(hif-1)和瓜氨酸组蛋白h3(cith3),其基因分别为HIF1 A和NOS2;GEPIA数据库显示HIF1 A与CAT(P=e-04,r=0.18)、GPX1(P=0.033,r=0.11)或NFE2L2呈正相关。(P=0,r=0.41),而NOS2与SOD1仅呈正相关(P=0.21,r=0.18),与其它三个基因均无相关性;HIF1 A和NOS2在胃癌组织中的表达水平高于正常胃旁组织;HIF1 A的高表达降低了胃癌患者的总生存率。结论 二氢丹参酮I可通过活性氧介导的氧化应激诱导AGS细胞凋亡,抑制HIF1 A和NOS2的表达,从而抑制AGS细胞的抗氧化应激,提高胃癌患者的总生存率。
Objective In this study, GEPIA database, including TCGA database and GTEx database, were used to explore the potential targets of dihydrotanshinone I on gastric cancer through oxidative stress. Methods Literatures on potential targets of dihydrotanshinone I in gastric cancer were searched in the database;GEPIA database tool was used to analyze the potential mechanism of dihydrotanshinone I on gastric cancer;taking analysis of the correlation between potential target genes and genes expressing key antioxidant stress proteins;We had analysis of expression level of dihydrotanshinone I on potential target genes in gastric cancer patients;and prognostic analysis of dihydrotanshinone I on potential target genes in gastric cancer patients. Results The main targeting genes(proteins) of dihydrotanshinone I on potential target genes were hypoxia inducible factor-1(hif-1) and citrulline histone H3(CITH3), whose genes were HIF1 A and NOS2, respectively;GEPIA database showed that there was a positive correlation between HIF1 A and CAT(P=2e-04, R=0.18), GPX1(P=0.033, R=0.11), or NFE2L2(P=0, R=0.41), while NOS2 only had a positive correlation with SOD1(P=0.21, R=0.18), and no correlation with other three genes. The expression levels of HIF1 A and NOS2 in gastric cancer tissues were higher than those in normal adjacent gastric tissues. The overall survival rate of patients with gastric cancer decreased with the high expression of HIF1 A. Conclusion Dihydrotanshinone I may induce apoptosis of AGS cells through reactive oxygen species mediated oxidative stress, and inhibit the expression of HIF1 A and NOS2, thus inhibit their antioxidative stress, which may improve the overall survival rate of gastric cancer patients.
