The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effect of vitamin B12 against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury and its underlying mechanism. The results showed that high doses of vitamin B12 could inhibit myocardial I/R injury by reducing oxidative stress, apoptosis, and inflammation through the modulation of the SIRT3/AMPK signaling pathway. These findings suggest that high-dose vitamin B12 supplementation might be a potential therapy for myocardial I/R damage.
Aim: To examine the protective effect of vitamin B12 against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury and elucidate its underlying mechanism of action.Methods: Mice were subjected to myocardial I/R injury by left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) oc-clusion followed by 24 h reperfusion. Cardiac function and injury were evaluated by echocardiography, triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC) and cardiac troponin T (cTnT) staining, and measuring lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels. In addition, various molecular and biochemical methods, as well as RNA sequencing were used to determine the effects and mechanism of action of vitamin B12 on I/R injury.Results: We found that high doses of vitamin B12 inhibited myocardial I/R injury. Furthermore, our data indi-cated that vitamin B12 supplementation alleviated cardiac dysfunction and injury by mitigating oxidative stress and apoptosis through downregulation of Nox2, the Ac-SOD2/SOD2 and Bax/Bcl-2 ratios and cleaved caspase-3 expression, and upregulation of SIRT3 expression and AMPK activity. However, these effects were largely reversed following treatment with the SIRT3 inhibitor, 3-TYP. Our RNA-sequencing data further demonstrated that vitamin B12 supplementation reduced inflammation during I/R injury.Conclusion: High doses of vitamin B12 supplements improved myocardial I/R injury by suppressing the accu-mulation of reactive oxygen species and apoptosis of myocardial tissue through modulation of the SIRT3/AMPK signaling pathway, while reducing inflammation. Our findings suggested that vitamin B12 administered at high doses could be a potential therapy for myocardial I/R damage.
