BACKGROUND: Oxidative stress plays an important role in the pathogenesis of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury. Morin, a bioflavonoid, has demonstrated antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and other diverse pharmacological activities in various experimental models such as isoproterenol-induced myocardial injury, doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity and neurotoxicity, as well as cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of morin in myocardial IR injury model and its underlying mechanisms. METHOD: To accomplish this, male albino Wistar rats were pre-treated with morin (40 and 80 mg/kg; po) for 28 days and on 29th day, rats experienced 45-min myocardial ischemia followed by 60-min reperfusion. RESULTS: In comparison to IR-control group, morin pre-treatment significantly normalized hemodynamic parameters, restored antioxidant status, improved pathological changes, reduced the release of cardiac injury markers, inhibited inflammation (TNF-α/IL-6/NFκB/IKKß) and apoptosis (increased Bcl-2, decreased Bax/Caspase-3 and TUNEL positivity) in the myocardium. This improvement in antioxidant, inflammation and anti-apoptosis markers could be due to downregulation of SAPK (p38/JNK) pathway and upregulation of survival kinase, i.e. RISK pathway (ERK/eNOS) in the myocardium. CONCLUSION: Thus, morin attenuated myocardial IR injury in rats by regulation of RISK/SAPK pathways.
