To investigate the influence of breviscapine on the cardiac structure and function in diabetic cardiomyopathy rats as well as the expression of protein kinase C (PKC) and Ca2+-cycling proteins expression. Diabetes was induced in male Sprague-Dawley rats by a single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin and the control rats were injected with saline. After the induction of diabetes for 4 weeks, the animals were divided into different groups: (1) normal rats as control; (2) diabetic rats; (3) diabetic rats with administration of breviscapine (10 or 25 mg kg(-1) day(-2)). After treatment with breviscapine for 6 weeks, the invasive cardiac function and echocardiographic parameters were measured, and heart tissue was obtained for electron microscope study. The expression of protein kinase C (PKC) and calcium handling regulators, such as protein phosphatase inhibitor-1 (PPI-1), phospholamban (PLB) and Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA-2), ryanodine receptor (RyR) were detected by western blot or RT-PCR. The activity of SERCA-2 was measured using Ca2+-ATPase kit. Diabetic rats showed impaired cardiac structure and function compared with control rats. The expression of PKC, PLB increased significantly, while the PPI-1, SERCA-2 and RyR expression decreased. Treatment with breviscapine could reverse the cardiac dysfunction and structure changes in diabetic cardiomyopathy rats, and decrease the expression of PKC and PLB, as well as increase the expression of PPI-1, SERCA-2 and RyR. The protective effect of breviscapine was dose related. This study showed that breviscapine could regulate the expression of PKC, PPI-1, PLB and SERCA-2 and have protective effect on diabetic cardiomyopathy.
