Ginseng, a popular herbal remedy, is often used in combination with other drugs to achieve the maximum therapeutic response. Shenfu (SFI) and Shenmai injection (SMI) have been widely used to treat cardiovascular disease in China. Our study explored the cardiovascular protection of SFI and SMI in eNOS knockout mice to investigate the differences and similarities of the two ginseng-combinations. Transthoracic echocardiography was performed to evaluate the left ventricular structure and function at baseline and 3, 7, and 14 days after drug administration. Agilent Gene Expression microarrays were used to demonstrate the gene expression profiling of the thoracic aorta. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis was performed to evaluate the mechanism improved by SFI and SMI in eNOS knockout mice. Both SFI and SMI could modulate Gadd45 Signaling from TOP15 canonical pathways. Moreover, SFI showed a better effect in the early treatment stage and improved myocardial function via GATA4, GATA6 and COL3A1. Meanwhile, SMI exerted better protective effects at the chronic stage, which may be related to endothelium protection by VEGFA and ACE. The advantage of multi-target by drug combination in progression of complex diseases should be noticed. The appropriate adjustment of drug combination could lead to a better accurate medical care in clinic.
