Research progress of related signal pathways in the prevention and treatment of heart failure with traditional Chinese medicine

摘要

Heart failure(HF)is a kind of continuous development syndrome of cardiac insufficiency caused by various heart diseases.Not only does the prevalence continue to rise,but the mortality rate and readmission rate remain high.Heart failure is also the end-stage of cardiovascular disease and the main cause of death of patients,which seriously affects the health and quality of life of people all over the world.Ventricular remodeling plays a key role in the occurrence and development of heart failure.Therefore,by improving ventricular remodeling,it is of important research value to explore the intervention of traditional Chinese medicine in the development of heart failure.Studies have shown that the mediation of multiple signaling pathways can lead to progressive aggravation of ventricular remodeling,and experimental studies often confirm the therapeutic effects of traditional Chinese medicine.Traditional Chinese medicine usually achieves the therapeutic effect of heart failure through multiple targets and multiple approaches.In recent years,there have been more and more researches on the role and mechanism of Chinese medicine intervention in heart failure.However,it is concluded that Chinese medicine intervention has less influence on heart failure signal pathways.This article summarizes the understanding of Chinese medicine on heart failure and the five signal pathways related to Chinese medicine intervention in heart failure.The 5 signaling pathways in the world,namely transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1)/signal transduction protein(Smads)signaling pathway,Toll-like receptor(TLR)/nuclear transcription factor-κB(NF-κB)inflammation signaling pathway,Renin-angiotensinaldosterone(RAAS)system,phosphoinositide 3-kinase(PI3K)-serine/threonine protein kinase(AKT)signaling pathway and mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK)dependent signaling pathway.
