Abstract

Acute myocardial injury may be induced by different causes, including myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, and sepsis, which represent the most common reasons for cardiac injury in hospitalized patients. Sepsis-induced myocardial injury is considered not to be associated with leukocyte infiltration into the myocytes but is shared with many crosstalk pathogeneses. In this experimental animal study, polymicrobial sepsis-induced was via cecal ligation and puncture model (CLP), in C57BL/6 male mice (25–30 g). By using neutrophil knockout mice, in which neutrophil recruitment is impaired, we analyzed the specific contribution to the pathogenesis of CLP-induced attenuated myocardial function. We investigated the degree of myocardial injury evaluated by plasma troponin, echocardiography, and histological analyses. The pathogenesis of CLP-induced myocardial injury relies on circulating inflammatory mediators. In conclusion, these resulting data explained that myocardial injury pathogenesis may help in the treatments for myocardial injury patients.
