ABSTRACT
In myocardial infarction (MI), the
occurrence of energy depletion, oxidative stress, and decreased amino acids
metabolism alter tissue metabolites. Evidence has shown that tocotrienol-rich
fraction (TRF) prevents myocardial injury in MI. However, the protective
mechanism at the metabolite level is unknown. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were
grouped into control, isoprenaline (ISO)-induced MI (MI), healthy rats
receiving 200 mg/kg TRF (200TRF), and MI rats receiving 200 mg/kg TRF
(200TRF+MI) groups. TRF was administered via oral gavage daily for 12 weeks
followed by intraperitoneal ISO injection (85 mg/kg) for two consecutive days
at a 24-hour interval to induce MI. High-performance liquid chromatography was
performed to analyze serum α-tocopherol and tocotrienol concentration
whereas ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry was used
for the untargeted metabolomic study. Serum α-tocopherol but not
tocotrienol was increased in the 200TRF (p=0.121) and 200TRF+MI (p<0.05)
following TRF supplementation. Multivariate analysis by Orthogonal Projections
to Latent Structures Discriminant Analysis showed high predictability of the
group comparison models for MI vs control and 200TRF+MI vs MI
(cross-validation: Q2>0.7, R2Y>0.8, p<0.05).
A total of 84 and 37 metabolites [when covariance of p≥|0.05|
(magnitude) and p(corr)≥|0.5| (reliability)] were significantly
different in the myocardial homogenates of MI vs control and 200TRF+MI vs MI,
respectively. MI rats had reduced S-adenosylmethionine and L-cystathionine that
might worsen MI by disturbing glutathione metabolism; decreased
phosphoribosyl-pyrophosphate and purine salvage process that might impair DNA
synthesis, and elevated glucose-6-phosphate suggesting enhanced anaerobic
glycolysis possibly for rapid production of energy. Conversely, TRF
supplementation reversed the impaired metabolic pathways caused by MI.

ABSTRAK
Dalam infarksi miokardium (MI),
penurunan tenaga, tekanan oksidatif, serta pengurangan metabolisme asid amino
mengubah metabolit dalam tisu. Bukti terkini menunjukkan bahawa fraksi kaya
tokotrienol (TRF) mencegah kecederaan miokardium dalam MI. Namun, mekanisme perlindungannya
pada tahap metabolit masih tidak diketahui. Tikus Sprague-Dawley jantan dibahagikan kepada kumpulan kawalan, MI aruhan isoprenalin (ISO) (MI),
tikus sihat yang menerima 200 mg/kg TRF (200TRF), dan tikus MI yang menerima
200 mg/kg TRF (200TRF+MI). TRF diberikan melalui gavaj oral setiap hari selama
12 minggu diikuti suntikan ISO secara intraperitoneum (85 mg/kg) dua hari
berturut-turut berselang 24 jam untuk mengaruh MI. Kromatografi cecair
berprestasi tinggi digunakan untuk menganalisis kepekatan serum
α-tokoferol dan tokotrienol manakala kromatografi cecair berprestasi
ultra-tinggi-spektrometri jisim digunakan untuk kajian metabolomik tanpa
sasaran. Serum α-tokoferol tetapi tidak tokotrienol telah meningkat bagi
kumpulan 200TRF (p=0.121) dan 200TRF+MI (p<0.05) setelah
disuplementasi TRF. Analisis multivariat oleh Unjuran Ortogon kepada Analisis Diskriminasi Struktur Pendam menunjukkan
kebolehramalan yang tinggi bagi model perbandingan antara kumpulan MI vs
kawalan dan 200TRF+MI vs MI (pengesahan silang: Q2>0.7, R2Y>0.8,
p<0.05). Sebanyak 84 dan 37 metabolit [apabila kovarians p≥|0.05|
(magnitud) dan p(corr)≥|0.5| (kebolehpercayaan)] berbeza secara
signifikan dalam homogenat miokardium masing-masing bagi kumpulan MI vs kawalan
dan 200TRF+MI vs MI. Tikus MI mengalami penurunan S-adenosilmetionina dan
L-sistationina yang mungkin meningkatkan keterukan MI melalui gangguan
metabolisme glutation; pengurangan fosforibosil-pirofosfat dan proses
penyelamatan purina yang mungkin menjejaskan sintesis DNA, serta peningkatan
glukosa-6-fosfat bagi proses glikolisis anaerob yang mungkin bertujuan
menghasilkan tenaga secara pantas. Sebaliknya, suplementasi TRF menghalang
penjejasan pada laluan metabolisma yang dicetuskan oleh MI.
