“…These observations thus suggest the potential effects of Sal-B in the treatment of heart failure, which develops as an automatic response to pathological cardiac remodeling. In agreement with this notion, a recent study has demonstrated that Sal-B alleviates heart failure induced by pressure overload [297] . Therefore, Sal-B holds promise for cardioprotection against heart failure but requires confirmation in more experimental and clinical studies.…”

Salvia miltiorrhiza Burge (Danshen) is an eminent medicinal herb that possesses broad cardiovascular and cerebrovascular protective actions and has been used in Asian countries for many centuries. Accumulating evidence suggests that Danshen and its components prevent vascular diseases, in particular, atherosclerosis and cardiac diseases, including myocardial infarction, myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury, arrhythmia, cardiac hypertrophy and cardiac fibrosis. The published literature indicates that lipophilic constituents (tanshinone I, tanshinone IIa, tanshinone IIb, cryptotanshinone, dihydrotanshinone, etc) as well as hydrophilic constituents (danshensu, salvianolic acid A and B, protocatechuic aldehyde, etc) contribute to the cardiovascular protective actions of Danshen, suggesting a potential synergism among these constituents. Herein, we provide a systematic up-to-date review on the cardiovascular actions and therapeutic potential of major pharmacologically active constituents of Danshen. These bioactive compounds will serve as excellent drug candidates in small-molecule cardiovascular drug discovery. This article also provides a scientific rationale for understanding the traditional use of Danshen in cardiovascular therapeutics.

Purpose: Mitochondrial dysfunction in adipose tissue has emerged as key to the development of obesity and diabetes. Salvianolic acid B (SalB) is a water-soluble ingredient derived from Salvia miltiorrhiza that has been shown to possess potential anti-obese and anti-diabetic activities. However, the cellular mechanism of SalB on mitochondrial function with respect to these metabolic disorders has not been elucidated. Therefore, we aim to investigate the effects of SalB on mitochondrial function in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and analyze the underlying molecular mechanism.Methods: The effects of SalB on adipocyte differentiation, glucose uptake, and glycerol release were evaluated in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Differentiated adipocytes were treated with SalB (50 μM) with or without PPARγ antagonist (GW9662, 20 μM) for 48 h, and mitochondrial oxygen consumption rate (OCR) as well as extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) were assessed using an XF Extracellular Flux Analyzer. The mitochondrial distribution of adipocytes was assessed using Mito Tracker Green (MTG) and observed under a fluorescent microscope. In addition, the mRNA expression levels of peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor γ/α (PPARγ/α), CCAAT/enhancer binding proteinα (C/EBPα), Nuclear respiratory factor 1/2 (NRF1/2), Uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2), and phosphofructokinase 2/fructose-2, 6-bisphosphatase 2 (PFKFB2) were detected by RT-PCR. Finally, changes in the protein levels of peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor γ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α) were determined by western blotting and immunofluorescence analysis.Results: Treatment with SalB increased glucose uptake and mitochondrial respiration, reduced glycerol release and promoted adipocyte differentiation by increasing mRNA expression of adipogenic transcription factors including PPARγ, C/EBPα, and PPARα. Furthermore, SalB enhanced adipocytes mitochondrial content, mitochondrial respiration and glycolysis capacity, which had been attenuated by GW9662 treatment through the increased expression of PGC-1α.Conclusion: Our results provide novel insights into the role of PGC-1α and mitochondria as probable mediators of SalB activity in the regulation of adipocyte differentiation in 3T3-L1 adipocytes.

“…9 The cardioprotective effects of Danshen may result from its components, including tanshinone IIa, 10 cryptotanshinone, 11 tanshinone VI, 12 danshensu, 13 salvianolic acid A, 14 and salvianolic acid B. 15 It has been shown in dogs 10 and rats 16 that tanshinone IIa ameliorates cardiac infarction induced by left anterior descending artery ligation through suppression of inflammation. Moreover, dihydrotanshinone I (DHTS), which is one of the major lipidsoluble constituents of Danshen, 17 has been shown to possess an anti-atherosclerosis effect in ApoE −/− mice.…”

Salvia miltiorrhiza Bge. (Danshen) is widely used to improve blood circulation and the dredge meridian in traditional Chinese medicine. In the present study, we evaluated the effects of dihydrotanshinone I (DHTS), a natural product from Danshen, on chronic high-fat feeding-induced cardiac remodeling and dysfunction. DHTS (25 mg/kg, intraperitoneal) did not affect blood glucose, insulin levels, and glucose intolerance. However, it alleviated diastolic dysfunction induced by the high-fat diet, as indicated by the increase in the ratio of peak early filling velocity to peak late filling velocity of the mitral and suppression of the extension of the isovolumic relaxation phase of the left ventricle. Further investigations revealed that DHTS ameliorated high-fat induced cardiac hypertrophy in mice and suppressed insulin-induced enlargement of cardiomyocytes in vitro. In neonatal cardiomyocytes, DHTS restored insulin-induced suppression of CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein beta-2 isoform (CEBPβ) and the phosphorylation of glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK3β) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK). Taken together, our results indicated that DHTS ameliorated cardiac hypertrophy and diastolic dysfunction in high-fat-fed mice, probably through the inhibition of insulin-induced suppression of CEBPβ and phosphorylation of GSK3β and ERK in cardiomyocytes.
