Conclusion
In conclusion, mild hypothermia therapy can inhibit the apoptosis and myocardial inflammation of cells induced by MI/R injury in rats and inhibiting the activity of the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway and p53 signaling pathway may be the mechanism.
Objective
To explore the protective effects and mechanism of mild hypothermia treatment in the treatment of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. Material and
Results
The expression of serum IL-6 and TNF-α in the mild hypothermia therapy group was significantly lower than that in the ischemia reperfusion group. The mild hypothermia therapy group also showed a significantly lower TUNEL cell count and NLRP3 and p53 phosphorylation levels than the ischemia reperfusion group (all p < 0.05). The in vitro mild hypothermia + OGD group also showed significantly lower mRNA expression of IL-6 and TNF-α and levels of cleaved Caspase-3, NLRP3, and phosphorylated p53 protein than the OGD group (all p < 0.05).
