ATM: To investigate the effects of bisoprolol (Bis) plus peridopril (Per) on myocardial endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) in rats with heart failure.METHODS: Male SD rats were randomly divided into normal control group, sham group, doxorubicin (DOX) group, bisoprolol treatment group (DOX+Bis group), peridopril treatment group (DOX+Per group) and bisoprolol plus peridopril treatment group (DOX+Bis+Per group). A rat model of heart failure was induced by intraperitoneal injection of DOX. Distilled water, bisoprolol, peridopril, and bisoprolol plus peridopril were administrated by gastric gavage for 35 d, respectively. The indexes of cardiac functions and plasma levels of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) were measured, myocardial apoptosis was analyzed by TUNEL assay and myocardial protein expression of GRP78, CHOP, JNK, caspase-12 and SERCA2a was detected by Western blot.RESULTS: Compared with normal control group and sham group, cardiac output (CO), left ventricular fractional shortening (FS), and left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) of the rats in DOX group decreased significantly (P<0.01), the cardiomyocyte apoptotic index increased significantly (P<0.01), the myocardial protein levels of SERCA2a decreased significantly, and GRP78, CHOP, JNK and caspase-12 increased significantly (P<0.01). Compared with DOX group, CO, FS and EF of the rats in DOX+Bis group, DOX+Per group and DOX+Bis+Per group increased significantly (P<0.01), cardiomyocytes apoptotic indexes in DOX+Bis group, DOX+Per group and DOX+Bis+Per group decreased significantly (P<0.01), myocardial protein levels of SERCA2a in DOX+Bis group, DOX+Per group and DOX+Bis+Per group increased significantly, while GRP78, CHOP, SERCA2a, JNK and caspase-12 decreased significantly (P<0.05). Indicators except JNK in DOX+Bis+Per group were changed more significantly than those in DOX+Bis group or DOX+Per group (P<0.05).CONCLUSION: Bisoprolol plus peridopril therapy improves cardiac functions in a rat model of doxorubicin-induced heart failure with more significant effectiveness than using bisoprolol or peridopril alone, which may be related to inhibition of myocardial ERS and apoptosis.  相似文献

AIM To investigate the effect of prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) on heart after myocardial infarction (MI) in rats and its related molecular mechanism. METHODS Fifty male SD rats were divided into sham group, model group and model+PGE1 group. The MI rat model was established by ligation of left anterior descending coronary artery. Cardiac function in the rats was detected by echocardiogaphy. The myocardial histomorphologic changes were evaluated by HE and Masson staining. The MI area was measured by TTC staining. The cardiomyocyte death was detected by TUNEL staining. The protein levels of endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS)-related factors glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78), C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) and caspase-12, and apoptosis-related factors Bcl-2, Bax and cleaved caspase-3 were determined by immunofluorescence staining and Western blot. RESULTS Compared with sham group, the cardiac function in model group was decreased, with significant myocardial pathological changes. The MI area was enlarged, and the death of cardiomyocytes was promoted. The protein levels of GRP78, CHOP, caspase-12, Bax and cleaved caspase-3 in the myocardial tissues were significantly increased, while Bcl-2 was decreased (P<0.01). Compared with model group, the cardiac function in model+PGE1 group was significantly improved, and the myocardial pathological damage was significantlty attenuated. The MI area and myocardial cell death were significantly reduced. The protein levels of GRP78, CHOP, caspase-12, Bax and cleaved caspase-3 in the myocardial tissues were significantly decreased, while Bcl-2 was increased (P<0.01). CONCLUSION PGE1 reduces collagen deposition and inflammation, and improves cardiac function by reducing ERS level, thus protecting cardiomyocytes from MI damage.  相似文献

AIM To observe the effect of naringenin on cardiac injury in ischemia/reperfusion （I/R） rats, and to explore whether the role of naringenin is involved in PI3K/AKT signaling pathway and endoplasmic reticulum stress and its related apoptotic pathways. METHODS SD rats （n=48） were randomly divided into sham operation （sham） group, model （I/R） group, naringenin treatment （NAR） group and naringenin+LY294002 （NL） group. Myocardial I/R injury model was prepared by ligation of left anterior descending coronary artery of rats for 30 min followed by reperfusion for 120 min. After reperfusion, the serum levels of cardiac troponin I （cTnI） was measured by ELISA. HE staining, TTC staining and TUNEL staining were used to detect the myocardial histopathological changes, myocardial infarction area and myocardial cell apoptotic rate. The mRNA levels of endoplasmic reticulum stress-related indicators glucose-regulated protein 78 （GRP78）, C/EBP homologous protein （CHOP） and caspase-12 were detected by RT-qPCR. The protein levels of cleaved caspase-3, GRP78, CHOP, caspase-12, p-PI3K and p-AKT were determined by Western blot. RESULTS Compared with I/R group, the serum content of cTnI, myocardial pathological damage, myocardial infarction area and myocardial cell apoptotic rate were significantly reduced （P<0.05）, the protein levels of cleaved caspase-3, GRP78, CHOP and caspase-12 were decreased （P<0.05）, and the protein levels of p-PI3K and p-AKT were increased in NAR group （P<0.05）. LY294002 attenuated the protective effect of naringenin to some extent. CONCLUSION Naringenin reduces myocardial I/R injury in rats possibly by activating PI3K/AKT signaling pathway and subsequently regulating endoplasmic reticulum stress and its related apoptotic pathways.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate whether the protection mechanism of Fuzi polysaccharide (FPS) is related to inhibition of endoplasmic reticulum stress in cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes with hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R). METHODS: Cultured rat myocardial cells were divided into control group, H/R group (hypoxia for 3 h and reoxygenation for 6 h) and different concentrations of FPS (0.1 g/L, 1 g/L, 10 g/L or 20 g/L) +H/R groups. The cell survival was detected by MTT assay and cell apoptosis of cardiomyocytes was measured by flow cytometry using Annexin V-FITC staining. The expression of glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78), CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein homologous protein (CHOP) and caspase-12 were determined by Western blotting. The mRNA expression of CHOP and caspase-12 was detected by quantitative PCR. RESULTS: After reoxygenation, the expression of GRP78, CHOP and caspase-12 in cardiomyocytes was increased. Compared with H/R group, the expression of GRP78, CHOP and caspase-12 in FPS+H/R groups was significantly inhibited, the survival rate of cardiomyocytes was increased and the apoptosis of cardiomyocytes was inhibited. This protective effect of FPS was in a dose-dependent manner and reached its peak at 10 g/L. CONCLUSION: Fuzi polysaccharide protects cardiomyocytes from H/R injury. The mechanism is related to inhibiting endoplasmic reticulum stress.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the expression changes of glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78), calpain-2, caspase-12 and caspase-3 in dithiothreitol (DTT)-induced endoplasmic reticulum stress in rat normal liver cell line BRL-3A, and to explore their effects on apoptosis of BRL-3A cells. METHODS: BRL-3A cells were treated with 2.5 mmol/L DTT to induce endoplasmic reticulum stress. The mRNA expression of GRP78, calpain-2, caspase-12 and caspase-3 was detected by real-time PCR. The protein expression of GRP78, calpain-2, caspase-12 and caspase-3 was detected by cell immunofluorescence technique. The protein levels of cleaved caspase-12 and cleaved caspase-3 were determined by Western blot. The apoptosis of BRL-3A cells was analyzed by flow cytometry. RESULTS: After treatment with DTT for 12 h and 24 h, the mRNA expression of GRP78, calpain-2 and caspase-12 in the BRL-3A cells was obviously increased compared with normal control group (P<0.01), and no significant change of caspase-3 mRNA after treatment with DTT for 12 h and 24 h was observed. The results of immunofluorescence technique and Western blot showed that the protein levels of GRP78, calpain-2, caspase-12, cleaved caspase-12, caspase-3 and cleaved caspase-3 were obviously elevated after treatment with DTT for 12 h and 24 h(P<0.05). In addition, the increased apoptotic rate was also found in the BRL-3A cells treated with DTT for 12 h and 24 h (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: The activation of calpain-2/caspase-12 signaling pathway may be involved in apoptosis of BRL-3A cells induced by DTT.  相似文献

AIM: To study the effects of anti-aging Klotho protein on neonatal rat myocardial cells with hypo-xia/reoxygenation (H/R) injury. METHODS: The cardiomyocytes of neonatal SD rats were cultured to establish hypoxia/reoxygenation model. The myocardial cells were divided into normal control group, H/R model group, different concentrations of Klotho protein (0.1 μmol/L, 1 μmol/L and 10 μmol/L) pretreatment groups. The myocardial cells pulse frequency was observed before and after H/R. The cell viability was measured by MTT assay. The leakages of LDH, CK and AST, the content of MDA and the activity of SOD were detected. The apoptotic rate of the myocardial cells was analyzed by flow cytometry. The mRNA expression of endoplasmic reticulum stress markers and apoptosis-related molecules GRP78, CRT, CHOP and caspase-12 was measured by real-time PCR. The protein levels of CHOP, caspase-12 and phosphorylated Akt in the myocardial cells were determined by Western blot. RESULTS: Compared with normal control group, the pulse frequency, cell viability rate and SOD activity of myocardial cells were significantly decreased, the cell apoptotic rate as well as the contents of LDH, CK, AST and MDA were increased in H/R model group. The mRNA expressions of GRP78, CRT, CHOP and caspase-12 as well as the protein levels of CHOP and caspase-12 were increased, whereas p-Akt level was decreased obviously. Compared with H/R model group, the pulse frequency, cell viability rate and SOD activity were increased significantly, the cell apoptotic rate as well as the contents of LDH, CK, AST and MDA were decreased in Klotho pretreated group. The mRNA expression of GRP78, CRT, CHOP and caspase-12 as well as the protein levels of CHOP and caspase-12 were decreased, while p-Akt level increased significantly. CONCLUSION: Anti-aging Klotho protein improves the myocardial cell survival and inhibits the apoptosis by increasing the resistance of the cells to oxidative stress and excessive endoplasmic reticulum stress response, which is related with the activation of Akt phosphorylation in H/R-injured mycardial cells.  相似文献

AIM: To explore the cardiomyocyte apoptosis induced by glucose-regulated protein 78/immunoglobulin heavy chain-binding protein (GRP78/BiP) in liver cirrhotic rats and its mechanism. METHODS: The liver cirrhotic rat model was established with multiple pathogenic factors, and sampled at the time points of 4 weeks, 6 weeks and 8 weeks. In experiment 1, the heart was collected and weighed, the thickness of the left ventricular wall was measured, and the ratios of the left ventricular wall thickness to the heart weight, and the heart weight to the body weight were calculated. In experiment 2, TUNEL was used to detect the apoptotic cardiomyocytes,and the protein levels of GRP78/BiP, CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein homologous protein/growth arrest and DNA damage-inducible protein 153 (CHOP/GADD153), caspase-12, nuclear factor-κB p65 (NF-κB p65) and B-cell lymphoma/leukemia-2 (Bcl-2) in the myocar-dium were detected by the method of immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: Compared with the normal myocardium, significant larger ratios of the left ventricular wall thickness to the heart weight and the heart weight to the body weight, a significant increase in the cardiomyocyte apoptosis, and a significant larger positive expression index of GRP78/BiP in the hearts 8 weeks after modeling were observed. The protein levels of CHOP/GADD153 and caspase-12 were gradually increased during the development of liver cirrhosis and were significantly increased at 8 weeks. The positive expression of NF-κB p65 and Bcl-2 showed consistent changes, and were markedly higher at 4 weeks than those at the other time points. The positive expression index of GRP78/BiP was positively correlated with the apoptotic index, and the levels of CHOP/GADD153 and caspase-12. The positive expression index of CHOP/GADD153 was negatively correlated with NF-κB p65 and Bcl-2. CONCLUSION: Elevated expression of GRP78/BiP may play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of liver cirrhotic cardio-myopathy mediated by endoplasmic reticulum stress.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate whether Yiqi-Wenyang-Huoxue-Huatan formula (YWHHF) attenuats brain injury induced by hypoxia-hypercapnia pulmonary hypertension (HHPH) in the rats by inhibiting excessive endoplasmic reticulum stress response. METHODS: Healthy SPF male SD rats (n=50) were randomly divided into 5 groups: control group, hypoxia-hypercapnia group, low-dose YWHHF group, middle-dose YWHHF group and high-dose YWHHF group. The rats in control group lived in normal environment, while the rats in other 4 groups were raised for 4 weeks in oxygen tank with low oxygen concentration and high CO2 concentration. YWHHF was perfused in the rats of low-, middle-and high-dose groups at 0.15, 0.3 and 0.6 g/kg daily, respectively. The rats in hypoxia-hypercapnia group were given isometric distilled water. The surgery was performed on the rats after 4 weeks, and the brain and lung tissues were quickly collected to detect brain water content and observe the morphological changes after mean pulmonary artery pressure recording and heart perfusion. The caspase-3 activity and the apoptotic index of the brain cells were determined. The expression of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), caspase-12, C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) and glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) at protein and mRNA levels in brain tissues was detected by Western blot and RT-PCR. RESULTS: Compared with control group, mean pulmonary artery pressure, brain water content, brain apoptotic index, caspase-3 activity, and the protein and mRNA levels of JNK, caspase-12, CHOP and GRP78 in the rest 4 groups were increased, and the brain and lung tissues had obvious damage under light microscope. Compared with hypoxia-hypercapnia group, mean pulmonary artery pressure, brain water content, brain apoptotic index, caspase-3 activity, and the protein and mRNA expression of JNK, caspase-12, CHOP and GRP78 in low-, middle-and high-dose YWHHF groups were decreased, and the pathological damage of the brain and lung tissues was obviously reduced under light microscope. These changes in middle-dose YWHHF group were the most significant. CONCLUSION: YWHHF effectively relieves the brain injury induced by HHPH in rats, which may be associated with inhibiting excessive endoplasmic reticulum stress response.  相似文献

AIM:To investigate the effect of Huangqi injection combined with puerarin injection on the myocardium of the mice with type 2 diabetes. METHODS:Diabetic KKAy mice were randomly divided into model group and treatment group (Huangqi injection combined with puerarin injection). The male KKAy mice of the same age were used as control group. All mice were sacrificed at 21, 24 and 28 weeks. Morphological changes of the myocardium were observed by HE staining. Apoptosis of the cardiomyocytes was measured by TUNEL staining. The mRNA levels of glucose-regulated protein 78(GRP78), C/EBP hoinologous protein (CHOP) and p53 up-regulated modulator of apoptosis (PUMA) were detected by real-time PCR, and the protein levels of GRP78, CHOP, PUMA, caspase-3, cleaved caspase-3, caspase-9, cleaved caspase-9, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) and cleaved PARP were determined by Western blot. RESULTS:Cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, partly dissolved sarcoplasm and necrosis were observed in model group, and these lesion were alleviated in treatment group. Obvious increased apoptosis in model group and significantly decreased apoptosis of cardiomyocytes in treatment group was observed (P<0.05). At 21, 24 and 28 weeks, the mRNA and protein levels of GRP78, CHOP and PUMA and the protein levels of cleaved caspase-3, cleaved caspase-9 and cleaved PARP in model group were increased significantly as compared with control group (P<0.01), and these in treated group were decreased compared with model group. CONCLUSION:Huangqi injection combined with puerarin injection has cardioprotective effects on type 2 diabetes mice and its mechanism of the action was implemented via inhibiting the activation of endoplasmic reticulum stress and caspase pathway, thus resulting in suppressed apoptosis.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate whether excessive endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) is involved in the protective mechanism of Panax quinquefolium saponins (PQS) against ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in rat myocardium. METHODS: The model of myocardial I/R injury in vivo was made by ligating the left anterior descending artery for 45 min followed by 24 h of reperfusion in SD rats. The hemodynamics and serum content of cardiac troponin T (cTnT) were measured. The myocardial infarct size was measured by Evans blue and 2, 3, 5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining. Cardiomyocyte apoptosis was detected using in situ TDT-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL). The protein levels of glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78), calreticulin (CRT), C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP), caspase-12, apoptosis-associated proteins Bax and Bcl-2 were determined by Western blotting. RESULTS: Compared with I/R group, the mean arterial pressure in PQR+IR group was decreased by 32.0%, and left ventricular±dp/dtmax was increased by 64.0% and 35.0%, respectively.The serum content of cTnT was decreased by 53.3%, the percentage of area of necrosis (AN)/area at risk (AAR) was reduced by 65.5% and the apoptosis rate was decreased by 54.9%.The myocardial pathological changes were improved. Bcl-2 protein expression was increased by 110.0% and that of Bax was decreased by 47.8%. CRT protein expression was decreased by 43.4 %, CHOP protein expression and the protein level of cleaved caspase-12 were decreased by 38.6% and 23.7% in PQS+I/R group. CONCLUSION: PQS alleviates I/R injury in myocardium by inhibition of excessive ERS.  相似文献

AIM:To investigate the effect of P21 on cisplatin-induced renal tubular epithelial cells injury.METHODS:The expression of P21 at mRNA and protein levels in cisplatin treated human renal tubular epithelial cells (HK-2) cells was determined by RT-qPCR and Western blot. Over-expression of P21in the HK-2 cells was induced by the transfection of pcDNA3-P21. The cell viability and cell apoptosis were detected by CCK-8 assay and flow cytometry, respectively. Furthermore, the protein expression of kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), caspase-3, glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) and CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein homologous protein (CHOP), and phosphorylation level of eucaryotic translation initiation factor 2α (eIF2α) and protein kinase R-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK) were detected by Western blot.RESULTS:Cisplatin increased the mRNA and protein levels of P21 in a time-and concentration-dependent manner in the HK-2 cells. Over-expression of P21 inhibited cisplatin-induced cell apoptosis, and down-regulated the expression of KIM-1 and NGAL. Furthermore, Over-expression of P21 decreased the protein levels of GRP78, p-PERK, p-eIF2α, CHOP and cleaved caspase-3.CONCLUSION:Over-expression of P21 attenuates cisplatin-induced HK-2 cells injury, and the mechanism may be related to the modulation of endoplasmic reticulum stress pathway and inhibition of cell apoptosis.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the protective effect of autophagy on oxidized low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL)-induced macrophage apoptosis and the underlying molecular mechanisms. METHODS: The RAW264.7 macrophages were pretreated with 3 mmol/L 3-methyladenine (3-MA), 1 μmol/L rapamycin (Rap) or 4 mmol/L 4-phenylbutyric acid (PBA) respectively for 1 h and then treated with ox-LDL (100 mg/L) for 12 h. The cell viability and apoptosis were determined by MTT assay and flow cytometry with Annexin V-FITC/PI staining, respectively. The activities of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in the medium and caspase-3 in the cells were determined by detection kits. The protein levels of beclin-1 (a molecular marker of autophagy), glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78, an endoplasmic reticulum stress marker) and C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP, a key-signaling component of endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced apoptosis) were examined by Western blot. Microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3, another molecular marker of autophagy) was observed under laser scanning confocal microscope.RESULTS: Treatment of the RAW264.7 macrophages with ox-LDL at 100 mg/L for 12 h resulted in significant decrease in cell viability, and dramatic elevation in LDH leakage, cell apoptosis and caspase-3 activity, which were promoted by 3-MA (an autophagy inhibitor) and inhibited by Rap (an autophagy inducer). ox-LDL induced autophagy in the macrophages as assessed by beclin-1 upregulation and frequent granulation of LC3, which were inhibited by 3-MA and promoted by Rap. Interestingly, 3-MA enhanced, while Rap blocked, the CHOP upregulation induced by ox-LDL. Moreover, PBA (endoplasmic reticulum stress inhibitor) significantly inhibited ox-LDL-induced GRP78 upregulation and autophagy as determined by the attenuation of beclin-1 upregulation and frequent granulation of LC3. CONCLUSION: Endoplasmic reticulum stress mediates ox-LDL-induced autophagy in macrophages, and moderates activation of autophagy may protect macrophages from ox-LDL-induced apoptosis by inhibiting CHOP expression.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the role of endoplasmic reticulum (ES) stress in cardiomyocyte apoptosis induced by β1-adrenoceptor autoantibody (β1-AA). METHODS: The rat model of active immunization with the second extracellular loop of β1-adrenoceptor was established, and SA-ELISA was applied to detect the level of β1-AA in serum of actively immunized rats. The apoptosis of cardiomyocytes was detected by TUNEL staining, and the protein expression levels of glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78), C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) and caspase-12 in rat heart tissues were determined by Western blot and immunohistochemistry. After purified β1-AA obtained by affinity chromatography was used to treat H9c2 myocardial cells, the cell viability was measured by CCK-8 assay and the apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry with Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining. The H9c2 cells were treated with ER stress inhibitor 4-phenoxybutyric acid (4-PBA) before interfered with β1-AA, and the changes of cell viability and apoptosis were determined by CCK-8 assay and flow cytometry. RESULTS: Compared with vehicle group, the level of β1-AA in the serum of rats was significantly increased after active immunization for 2 weeks and further rised in 8 weeks, and increased apoptosis was observed in cardiomyocytes after active immunization for 2 weeks, lasting till 8 weeks. Compared with vehicle group, the protein expression of GRP78, CHOP and caspase-12 increased after active immunization for 4 weeks and 8 weeks. Continuous reduction of cell viability and increased apoptosis of H9c2 cells were induced by β1-AA. ER stress inhibitor 4-PBA pretreatment in H9c2 cells reversed the increased apoptosis and decreased cell viability induced by β1-AA, indicating that suppression of ER stress effectively reduced cardiomyocyte apoptosis. CONCLUSION: β1-AA induces increased apoptosis in cardiomyocytes by activating ER stress.  相似文献

AIM:To explore the protective effect of morinda officinalis oligosaccharides monomer HexB on hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R)-induced injury in human umbilical vein endothelia cells (HUVECs). METHODS:HUVECs were treated with HexB, 4-phenylbutyric acid (4-PBA) and thapsigargin (TG), respectively. The cells were divided into control group, HexB group, H/R group, HexB+H/R group, 4-PBA+H/R group, TG group and HexB+TG group. The cell viability was measured by CCK-8 assay. The apoptotic rate was detected by flow cytometry. Western blot was used to determine the protein levels of endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) related molecules chaperone protein glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78), C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP), apoptosis-related protein caspase-12 and phosphorylated c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (p-JNK). RESULTS:The viability of HUVECs was reduced in H/R group and TG group (P<0.05), increased in HexB+H/R, 4-PBA+H/R and HexB+TG group (P<0.05). The apoptotic rate, the protein levels of GRP78, CHOP, caspase-12 and p-JNK were increased in H/R group and TG group (P<0.05), weakened in the HexB+H/R group (P<0.05), 4-PBA+H/R group and HexB+TG group (P<0.05). No significant change in the apoptotic rate, cell viability, protein levels of GRP78, CHOP, caspase-12, p-JNK between HexB+H/R group and 4-PBA+H/R group was observed. CONCLUSION:HexB attenuates HUVECs injury caused by H/R through suppressing ERS and apoptosis. The possible mechanism may be involved in the apoptotic pathways related to GRP78, CHOP, caspase-12 and p-JNK.  相似文献

AIM:To investigate the role of endoplasmic reticulum(ER) stress in the process of hypoxia-induced neonatal rat myocardial injury through PERK signal pathway. METHODS:Neonatal rat cardiac myocytes were randomly divided into control group and hypoxia 1 h, 4 h, 8 h, 12 h and 24 h groups. Cell viability was evaluated by determining the intracellular content of ATP. Apoptosis was measured by high-content analysis(HCA) cell imaging system. The protein levels of GRP78, calreticulin, p-PERK, p-eIF2α, ATF4 and CHOP were detected by Western blotting at different time points. The primary cultured neonatal rat cardiac myocytes were treated with an agonist of PERK pathway salubrinal and the cell apoptosis was observed under hypoxia. RESULTS:In the early phase, hypoxia induced an increase in the expression of calreticulin and GPR78. In the middle phase of hypoxia, the levels of p-PERK, p-eIF2α and ATF4 were increased. In the later phase of hypoxia, increased CHOP level was also observed. Salubrinal effectively protected the cardiac myocytes from hypoxic injury. CONCLUSION:Hypoxia activates ER stress in cardiac myocytes and also activates PERK signal pathway. PERK signaling protects cardiac myocytes from hypoxic damage in the early stage and triggers apoptosis of the cells in the later phase.  相似文献

METHODS The renal microvascular endothelial cells cultured in vitro were divided into control group, high glucose group, Tongxinluo group, Jinlida group, and Tongxinluo+Jinlida group. After intervention for 24 h, CCK-8 assay was used to measurethe cell viability. The apoptotic rate and reactive oxygen species (ROS) level were measured by flow cytometry. Western blot was used to determine the protein levels of protein kinase R-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK), phosphorylated PERK (p-PERK), glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78), C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP), caspase-12 and Bcl-2. RESULTS Compared with control group, the viability of renal microvascular endothelial cells in the high-glucose environment was decreased, the apoptotic rate, the ROS level and the protein levels of PERK, p-PERK, GRP78, CHOP and caspase-12 were increased, while Bcl-2 protein was decreased (P<0.05). In comparison with high glucose group, the viability of renal microvascular endothelial cells in Tongxinluo, Jinlida and Tongxinluo+Jinlida groups was increased to varying degrees, the apoptotic rate, the ROS level and the protein levels of PERK, p-PERK, GRP78, CHOP and caspase-12 were decreased, while Bcl-2 protein was increased (P<0.05). Compared with Jinlida group and Tongxinluo group, the improvement of each index in Jinlida+Tongxinluo group was statistically significant. CONCLUSION Jinlida and Tongxinluo attenuate the damage of renal microvascular endothelial cells in the high-glucose environment, and the mechanism may be related to the reduction of endoplasmic reticulum stress-mediated apoptosis pathway. The combined application of Jinlida and Tongxinluo synergistically enhances the protective effect of the drugs on the renal microvascular endothelial cells.  相似文献
