AIM: To investigate the effect of homeodomain-interacting protein kinase 2 (HIPK2) on the viabi-lity, apoptosis and JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway in NRK-52E renal tubular epithelial cells induced by hypoxia and reoxygenation (H/R). METHODS: HIPK2 small interfering RNA (siRNA) was transfected into NRK-52E cells by LipofectamineTM 2000, and normal control group (control group) and negative control group (HIPK2-NC group) were set up. After H/R, the cell viability was measured by CCK-8 assay, the apoptotic rate and Ca2+ fluorescence intensity were analyzed by flow cytometry, and the protein levels of Ki67, cleaved caspase-3, caspase-12, Bcl-2, Bax, p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 were determined by Western blot. RESULTS: Compared with control group, the protein expression of HIPK2 in the NRK-52E cells was significantly decreased after transfection with HIPK2 siRNA (P<0.05). Compared with control group, the cell viability and the protein expression of Ki67 and Bcl-2 in H/R group were also significantly decreased, and the apoptotic rate, the Ca2+ fluorescence intensity and the protein levels of cleaved caspase-3, caspase-12, Bax, p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 were significantly increased (P<0.05). Compared with H/R group, the cell viability and the protein expression of Ki67 and Bcl-2 in HIPK2-siRNA+H/R group were significantly increased, while the apoptotic rate, the Ca2+ fluorescence intensity and the protein levels of cleaved caspase-3, caspase-12, Bax, p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 were significantly decreased (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Inhibition of HIPK2 gene expression promotes H/R-induced growth of NRK-52E renal tubular epithelial cells, and reduces the apoptosis. The mechanism is related to down-regulating the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effects of salidroside on intracellular free calcium concentration [Ca2+]i, apoptosis, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and activity during injury induced by hypoxia/hypoglycemia in cultured SH-SY5Y cells. METHODS: Mitochondrial activity was measured by methylthiazolyl tetrazolium test. MMP,[Ca2+]i and apoptosis were measured by flow cytometry. RESULTS: SH-SY5Y cells were cultured in a hypoxia/hypoglycemia condition for 2, 4, 6 and 12 h,[Ca2+]i and apoptosis rate significantly increased compared with control group (P<0.01). After hypoxia /hypoglycemia cultures, MMP and mitochondrial activity declined 29.17% (P<0.01) and 38.80% (P<0.01) at 2 h, 56.72% (P<0.01) and 63.58% (P<0.01) at 12 h, were lower than that in control group (P<0.01). Salidroside significantly decreased [Ca2+]i and apoptosis rate, and increased MMP and mitochondrial activity in hypoxia /hypoglycemia-treated SH-SY5Y cells. CONCLUSIONS: Salidroside might inhibit the decline in MMP and mitochondrial activity induced by hypoxia /hypoglycemia, and has an inhibitory effects on neuronal apoptosis. The mechanism might be related to inhibiting intracellular calcium overload.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the role of mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU) in high glucose(HG)-induced apoptosis of cardiac myocytes. METHODS: Cardiac myocytes were exposed to normal glucose (5.5 mmol/L glucose+ 19.5 mmol/L mannitol), HG (25 mmol/L glucose), or HG combined with 5 μmol/L spermine for 72 h. Mitochondrial free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]m), MCU at mRNA and protein levels, pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) activity, mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψm), the levels of ATP and reactive oxygen species (ROS), and apoptosis were determined. RESULTS: The [Ca2+]m, the mRNA and protein levels of MCU, PDH activity, ATP levels, and Δψm were reduced (P<0.05), while ROS content and the protein levels of caspase-9 and caspase-3 were increased in HG group (P<0.05). Adding 5 μmol/L spermine returned these parameters toward control levels (P<0.05). Moreover, apoptosis was reduced by adding spermine and HG treatment (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: HG-induced cardiac myocyte apoptosis may be associated with the decreased MCU expression and activity, abnormal mitochondrial Ca2+ handling, deviant mitochon-drial respiratory chain, and mitochondrial dysfunction.  相似文献

AIM: To study the morphological changes of cardiac H9c2 cells during the developmental process of fetal rat. METHODS: Embryonic rat heart-derived H9c2 cells were maintained in DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum. The H9c2 cells were plated at a density of 6000 cells/cm and divided into 5 groups: H9c2 cells were treated with 5 mmol/L glucose, 25 mmol/L glucose, 50 mmol/L glucose, Norvasc (25 nmol/L)+25 mmol/L glucose, or Norvasc (25 nmol/L)+50 mmol/L glucose for 48 h. The morphology of H9c2 cells was observed. The cell surface area was measured by Image-Pro Plus 6.1 software. Fluorescence spectrophotometry was used to detect the concentration of intracellular calcium ion ([Ca2+]i)in the cardiomyocytes. The concentration of CaN in the cell was measured by ELISA. The mRNA expression of CaNAβ, NFAT3 and β-MHC in the cells was detected by real-time PCR. The protein levels of CaNAβ, NFAT3 and β-MHC in cultural H9c2 cells were detected by Western blot. RESULTS: The mean area of the cells, the mean fluorescence value of [Ca2+]i and the concentration of CaN in 25 mmol/L glucose group were higher than those in 5 mmol/L glucose group, and those were lower than those in 50 mmol/L glucose group. After treated with Norvasc, those results decreased significantly. The expression of CaNAβ, NFAT3 and β-MHC at mRNA and protein levels in 25 mmol/L glucose group was higher than those in 5 mmol/L glucose group, but was lower than those in 50 mmol/L glucose group. The expression of CaNAβ, NFAT3 and β-MHC at mRNA and protein levels decreased significantly in Norvasc treatment group. CONCLUSION: Ca2+-CaN-NFAT3 signaling pathway is perhaps involved in high glucose-induced H9c2 cardiomyocyte hypertrophy.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect of ecdysterone (EDS) on H9c2 cardiomyocytes after oxidative stress. METHODS: H9c2 cells were cultured in vitro and divided into control group, high dose (2 μmol/L) of EDS group, middle dose (1.5 μmol/L) of EDS group, low dose (1 μmol/L) of EDS group, and H2O2 group. H9c2 cardiomyocytes in H2O2 group and high, middle and low doses of EDS groups were exposed to H2O2 for 6 h to establish the model of oxidative stress. The viability of the H9c2 cells was detected by CCK-8 assay. The apoptosis of H9c2 cells was analyzed by flow cytometry. The levels of lactate dehydogenase (LDH) and creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) in the culture medium, and the levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in the H9c2 cells were measured by colorimetry. The generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the mitochondrial membrane potential were evaluated by flow cytometry and confocal laser scanning microscopy. The protein levels of Bax, Bcl-2 and cleaved caspase-3 in the H9c2 cells were determined by Western blot. RESULTS: Ecdysterone at the selected concentrations had no effect on the viability of H9c2 cells. Compared with control group, the levels of LDH, CK-MB, ROS and MDA, and the apoptotic rates of the H9c2 cells were significantly increased after treated with H2O2, but were decreased by EDS treatment in a dose-dependent manner. The levels of SOD and mitochondrial membrane potential of the H9c2 cells in H2O2 group were reduced significantly compared with control group, but high, middle and low doses of EDS treatments up-regulated the levels of SOD and mitochondrial membrane potential in H2O2-treated H9c2 cells. The protein levels of Bax and cleaved caspase-3 in the H9c2 cells in H2O2 group showed significant elevation in comparison with control group, and the protein expression of Bcl-2 declined in H2O2 group compared with control group, but high, middle and low doses of ecdysterone treatments down-regulated the protein levels of Bax, cleaved caspase-3 and up-regulated the expression of Bcl-2 in H2O2-treated H9c2 cells. CONCLUSION: Ecdysterone attenuates the effect of H2O2-induced oxidative stress on H9c2 cardiomyocytes. The mechanism may be involved in scavenging oxidative stress products, increasing antioxidant enzyme activity and improving mitochondrial function.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase Ⅱ (CaMKⅡ) on hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injury in H9c2 cells. METHODS: H9c2 cells were randomized into 4 groups:control group, KN-93 (an inhibitor of CaMKⅡ; 1 μmol/L) treatment group, H/R group and H/R+KN-93 (1 μmol/L) treatment group. The cells in KN-93 group and KN-93+H/R group were pretreated with KN-93 for 2 h before the other treatment was performed. The viability of H9c2 cells in each group was measured by CCK-8 assay. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity in the culture medium was detected. The protein levels of phosphorylated CaMKⅡ (p-CaMKⅡ), phosphorylated phospholamban (p-PLN) and cleaved caspase-3 were determined by Western blot. The apoptosis was analyzed by TUNEL staining and the flow cytometry. RESULTS: No significant difference of all indexes tested between control group and KN-93 group was observed. H/R treatment significantly reduced the cell viability, and increased the activity of LDH (P<0.01), the protein levels of p-CaMKⅡ, p-PLN and cleaved caspase-3 (P<0.05), and the apoptotic rate (P<0.01). KN-93 (1 μmol/L) significantly increased the cell viability, and decreased the activity of LDH (P<0.01), the protein levels of p-CaMKⅡ, p-PLN and cleaved caspase-3 (P<0.05), and the apoptotic rate (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: CaMKⅡ aggravates hypoxia/reoxygenation injury in the H9c2 cells by activating apoptosis.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effects of phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) on the apoptosis, oxidative damage and immune inflammatory factors in myocardial H9c2 cells with anoxia/reoxygenation (A/R). METHODS: The H9c2 cells were used to establish a model of A/R. The H9c2 cells were transfected with PTEN small interfering RNA (siRNA) and negative control. After A/R, the expression of PTEN at mRNA and protein levels was determined by RT-PCR and Western blot, respectively. The cell viability was measured by MTT assay. The apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry. Xanthine oxidase method was used to determine superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity. The content of malondialdehyde (MDA) was detected by thiobarbituric acid method. The lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity in the supernatant was evaluated by 4-dinitrophenylhydrazine method. The levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and IL-6 in culture supernatant were examined by ELISA. The protein levels of cleaved caspase-3, Bax and FasL in the cells were determined by Western blot. RESULTS: After A/R, the expression of PTEN at mRNA and protein levels was significantly increased in the H9c2 cells (P<0.05). The mRNA and protein levels of PTEN were decreased significantly after transfection with PTEN siRNA (P<0.05). The viability of H9c2 cells was decreased after A/R, while the apoptotic rate was increased. The protein levels of cleaved caspase-3, Bax and FasL were increased in the cells. The MDA level was elevated, the activity of SOD was decreased, and the levels of LDH, TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 in the culture supernatant were increased (P<0.05). Down-regulation of PTEN partly antagonized the effects of A/R on the viability, apoptotic rate, MDA content, SOD activity, and the levels of LDH, TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 in culture supernatant. CONCLUSION: Down-regulation of PTEN attenuates oxidative damage induced by A/R, reduces apoptosis and secretion levels of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 in the H9c2 cells.  相似文献

AIM:To explore the effects of genipin (GEN) on high glucose (HG)-induced oxidative stress injury and apoptosis in H9c2 cardiomyocytes.METHODS:H9c2 cells were cultured in vitro and HG-induced injury model was established. H9c2 cells were divided into 4 groups:normal control (NC) group (glucose at 5.6 mmol/L), HG group (glucose at 50 mmol/L), NG+GEN group and HG+GEN group. The concentration of genipin was used at 10 μmol/L. The viability of the H9c2 cells was measured by CCK-8 assay. The intracellular malondialdehyde (MDA) content and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity were determined by enzyme labeling and WST-1 methods, respectively. The activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in the cell culture supernatant was detected by microplate method. Fluorescent probe DCF was used to detect intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Nucleosome fragments was measured to evaluate cell apoptosis by ELISA. The intracellular mitochondrial membrane potential was detected by JC-1 method. The protein levels of Mn-SOD, cytochrome C (Cyt C), Bax and cleaved caspase-3 were determined by Western blot. RESULTS:Compared with HG group, the cell viability in HG+GEN group was increased significantly (P<0.05), the levels of MDA and LDH were decreased (P<0.05), SOD activity was increased (P<0.05), the levels of ROS and nucleosome fragments in HG+GEN group were decreased (P<0.05), and the mitochondrial membranes potential was notably increased (P<0.05). Compared with NG group, the activation of Mn-SOD was decreased, but the protein levels of Cyt C, Bax and cleaved caspase-3 were increased in HG group (P<0.05). Compared with HG group, the activation of Mn-SOD was increased, and the protein levels of Cyt C, Bax and cleaved caspase-3 were decreased in HG+GEN group (P<0.05).CONCLUSION:Genipin protects HG-induced H9c2 cardiomyocytes against oxidative stress injury and apoptosis.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the protective effect of calcium antagonists on anoxia/reoxygenation (A/R) injury of cardiomyocytes. METHODS: Primary-cultured cardiomyocytes were divided into four groups, namely A/R, A/R+nifedipine (Nif), A/R+ruthenium red (Ru)+heparin (Hep) and control groups. The following parameters were measured in all groups: intracellular calcium concentration (i), cardiac cell viability, ATP content, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity in the medium, PKC and MAPK activity and 3[H]-Leucine (3[H]-Leu) incorporation. RESULTS: In comparison with A/R group,A/R+nifedipine (Nif) and A/R+ruthenium red (Ru)+heparin (Hep) groups showed a marked decrease in[Ca2+]i and LDH content,and a significant increase in cell viability, ATP content, activity of PKC and MAPK and [3H]-Leu incorporation (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSION: A/R mediated Ca2+ overload resulted in cardiomyocyte injury, which could be attenuated by blocking Ca2+ entry and release.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the influence of programmed cell death 5 (PDCD5) on apoptosis and autophagy in the cardiomyocytes exposed to hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) and its potential mechanism.METHODS: H9c2 cells were exposed to H/R. PDCD5 was downregulated by RNA interference. The cell viability was measured by MTT assay. TUNEL assay was used to detect cell apoptosis. The mRNA and protein levels were determined by RT-qPCR and Western blot.RESULTS: The expression of PDCD5 was upregulated in the cardiomyocytes after H/R injury. Furthermore, H/R injury obviously reduced the cell viability and enhanced the apoptosis and autophagy of the cardiomyocytes. However, knockdown of PDCD5 increased the cell viability, and attenuated H/R-induced apoptosis, accompany with reduction of Bax and augment of Bcl-2 expression. Additionally, silencing PDCD5 markedly inhibited H/R-induced autophagy by regulating the expression of LC3-II/LC3-I and beclin-1. Moreover, downregulation of PDCD5 suppressed NF-κB signaling by redu-cing the protein level of p-P65.CONCLUSION: Silencing PDCD5 suppresses H/R-induced H9c2 cells apoptosis and autophagy by blocking NF-κB signaling pathway. The result indicates a new strategy for the prevention and treatment of myocardial I/R injury.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect of salinomycin on the proliferation and apoptosis of cisplatin-resistant human lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549/DDP. METHODS: The inhibitory effect of salinomycin on the growth of A549/DDP cells was tested by MTT method in vitro . The apoptosis and mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) of A549/DDP cells were assayed by flow cytometry. The activity of caspase-3, 8 and 9 was determined by the method of colorimetry. The levels of cytochrome C, Bcl- 2, Bax, β-catenin, and phosphorylated low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 6(p-LRP6) were measured by Western blotting. RESULTS: Salinomycin inhibited the growth of A549/DDP cells in a dose-dependent manner. Salinomycin at concentration of 0.2 μmol/L decreased ΔΨm level, and increased reactive oxygen species (ROS), cytochrome C and cytosolic Ca2+ release in the cells. Salinomycin also increased the acti-vity of caspase-3, 8, and 9 in the cells, reduced the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax, and decreased the levels of β-catenin and p-LRP6. CONCLUSION: Salinomycin depresses the cell growth by inhibiting Wnt signaling, and induces the apoptosis of cisplatin-resistant human lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549/DDP via mitochondria-dependent and Bcl-2/Bax pathways.  相似文献

AIM: Direct exposure of cells to reactive oxygen species can induce apoptosis. In this study we investigate how oxidative stress induces cell death in HepG2 cells and characterize the molecular events involved.METHODS: Oxidative stress was created by exposing HepG2 cells to 2 mmol/L H2O2. Apoptosis was determined by analysis of DNA fragmentation by agarose gel electorphoresis. The mitochondrial membrane potential was analyzed using DePsipher fluorescent staining and the expression of cytochrome c in the cytosolic fraction was measured by Western blotting analysis. The caspase activity was detected using fluorometric assay kit by a fluorescence microplate reader.RESULTS: When HepG2 cells were treated with 2 mmol/L H2O2, the cells displayed DNA fragmentation, a typical feature of apoptosis, after 12 h. The mitochondrial membrane potential appeared different in two group of cells. H2O2-treated cells appeared green fluorescence as early as 4 h, which represents de-energized mitochondria, the untreated cells appeared red fluorescence, a feature of mitochondria with intact membrane potential. In treated cells, the expression of cytochrome c increased and accumulated in cytosolic fraction with treatment time, caspase-3 activity increased by 6.7-fold (P<0.01) at 8 h and caspase-9 activity increased by 3.6-fold (P<0.01) at 12 h, respectively, however, the activity of caspase-8 remained unchanged.CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that oxidative stress can induce apoptotic cell death in HepG2 cells, and the mechanism is related to mitochondrial pathway, which activates caspase-9 and-3, but not caspase-8.  相似文献

AIM To investigate the effects and mechanisms of heat shock protein 90 （HSP90） on complement-mediated hypoxia/reoxygenation （H/R） injury of rat H9c2 cardiomyocytes during hypoxic postconditioning （HPC）. METHODS Rat H9c2 cardiomyocytes were divided into 7 groups according to different treatments： （1） control group （cultured for 10 h under normal oxygen）; （2） H/R group （hypoxia for 4 h and reoxygenation for 6 h）; （3） HPC group （3 cycles of 5 min H/R after hypoxia for 4 h, followed by reoxygenation for 6 h）; （4） HPC+geldanamycin （GA） group （1 μmol/L HSP90 inhibitor GA was added 20 min before HPC）; （5） negative control group （empty plasmid was transfected before HPC）; （6） C3 over-expression group （C3a plasmid was transfected before HPC）; （7） C5 over-expression group （C5a plasmid was transfected before HPC）. Morphological changes of the H9c2 cells were detected by Hoechst 33242 staining. The effects of HPC on the apoptosis of H9c2 cells were examined by flow cytometry. The protein levels of HSP90, C3a, C5a, NF-κB p65, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, Bcl-2 and Bax were determined by Western blot. RESULTS With up-regulation of HSP90, HPC significantly reduced H/R-induced apoptosis of the H9c2 cells, inhibited the expression of C3a, C5a, NF-κB p65, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and Bax, and increased the expression of Bcl-2. These effects were blocked by GA. The inhibitory effects of HPC on NF-κB p65 expression and H9c2 cell apoptosis were offset after over-expression of C3a or C5a. CONCLUSION HSP90 attenuates H/R injury of H9c2 cardiomyocytes by inhibiting complement-NF-κB signaling pathway during HPC.  相似文献

AIM: To study the effect of salinomycin on inhibiting proliferation and inducing apoptosis of Gleevec-resistant chronic myeloid leukemia cell line K562/Glv. METHODS: The inhibitory effect of salinomycin on the growth of K562/Glv cells was detected by CCK-8 assay in vitro. Flow cytometry was used to observe apoptosis, mitochondria membrane potential (ΔΨm), reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the concentration of intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) in K562/Glv cells. The activity of caspase-3, -8 and -9 was measured by the method of colorimetry. The levels of cytochrome C, Bcl-2, Bax, β-catenin and phosphorylated low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 6 (p-LRP6) were determined by Western blotting. RESULTS: Salinomycin inhibited the growth of K562/Glv cells in a dose-dependent manner. Salinomycin at concentration of 0.2 μmol/L inhibited the growth of the cells with the inhibitory rate of (36.70±2.31)%. The cell apoptotic rate was (19.66±2.23)%. Salinomycin at concentration of 0.2 μmol/L decreased the level of ΔΨm, and increased the levels of ROS, cytochrome C and[Ca2+]i in the cells. Salinomycin also increased the activity of caspase-3, -8 and -9 in the cells, reduced the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax, and attenuated the levels of β-catenin and p-LRP6. CONCLUSION: Salinomycin induces the apoptosis of Gleevec-resistant myeloid leukemia cell line K562/Glv via Bcl-2/Bax and mitochondria-dependent pathways, and inhibits the cell growth through Wnt signal pathway.  相似文献

AIM: To study the effect of integrin β1 on multidrug resistance in gastric cancer and its possible mechanisms. METHODS: The expression of integrin β1 at mRNA and protein levels in the SGC-7901 cells and SGC-7901/DDP cells was determined by qPCR and Western blot. The expression of integrin β1 in the SGC-7901/DDP cells was silenced by antisense oligodeoxynucleotide. The cell viability was detected by the CCK-8 assay, the cell apoptosis were analyzed by flow cytometry, and the protein levels of integrin β1, Bcl-2/Bax, cleaved caspase-3/caspase-3, cytochrome C (Cyt-C) and p-AKT/AKT were determined by Western blot.RESULTS: The expression of integrin β1 at both mRNA and protein levels was significantly upregulated in SGC-7901/DDP cells. The expression of integrin β1 was increased in SGC-7901 cells treated with chemotherapeutic agents such as cisplatin, paclitaxel and 5-fluorouracil. Knockdown of integrin β1 induced apoptosis of SGC-7901/DDP cells with an increased sensitivity to the chemotherapeutic agents. Meanwhile, knockdown of integrin β1 downregulated the protein levels of Bcl-2/Bax, p-AKTSer473 and p-AKTThr308, while promoted the release of Cyt-C and upregulated the protein level of cleaved caspase-3. CONCLUSION: Knockdown of integrin β1 increases the sensitivity of SGC-7901/DDP cells to the chemotherapeutic agents, and promotes the cell apoptosis via mitochondrial apoptosis pathway. The mechanism may be related to the attenuation of AKT pathway by inhibiting phosphorylations of AKT at Ser473 and Thr308.  相似文献

AIM：To compare the effect of T83 (a 4-arylidene curcumin analogue) on the apoptosis of homologous nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells with different radioresistance. METHODS：The effects of T83 on the viability, apoptosis, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), expression of procaspase-3/procaspase-9/Cyt-C proteins and relative PTEN/Akt/p27 mRNA expression in CNE-2R cells and CNE-2 cells were detected and compared by the methods of MTT assay, Hoechst staining, flow cytometry, Western blotting and qRT-PCR. RESULTS：T83 inhibited the viability of CNE-2R cells with the IC50 of 0.9,0.4 and 0.2 μmol/L for 24 h, 48 h and 72 h,respectively, which was more effective than that inhibiting the viability of CNE-2 cells with the IC50 of 1.8,0.5 and 0.4 μmol/L, respectively. After treated with T83 for 48 h, chromatin condensation, margination and splitting into a massive structure were observed in CNE-2R cells and CNE-2 cells,and the late apoptotic rate of CNE-2R cells was increased from 1.57% to 27.26%, which was higher than that of CNE-2 cells (1.74% to 8.15%). After treated with T83 for 36 h, the MMP in CNE-2R cells decreased by 87.71% and that decreased by 50.47% in CNE-2 cells. After treated with T83 for 48 h, the protein levels of procaspase-3 and procaspase-9 were decreased, and the protein level of Cyt-C was increased, which were more susceptible in CNE-2R cells than those in CNE-2 cells. After treated with T83 for 24 h, the relative mRNA expression of PTEN and p27 was significantly up-regulated, and the mRNA expression of Akt was down-regulated, which were more susceptible in CNE-2R cells than those in CNE-2 cells. CONCLUSION：Compared with CNE-2 cells, the inhibitory effect of T83 on the viability of CNE-2R cells is more specific by starting the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway, which is due to the inhibition of PTEN/Akt/p27 signaling pathway.  相似文献

AIM: To explore the role of aloperine in ischemia-reperfusion (I/R)-induced H9c2 cardiomyocyte injury and inflammation.METHODS: The H9c2 cardiomyocytes were cultured under hypoxia and re-oxygenation conditions to simulate ischemia-reperfusion (SI/R) injury. After treatment with aloperine at various doses, the cell viability was measured by MTT assay. The cell apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry. Simultaneously, the levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), malonaldehyde (MDA) and caspase-3 activity were detected by the commercial kits. The levels of inflammatory cytokines were also detected by ELISA. Moreover, the effects of aloperine on the activation of PI3K/AKT signaling pathway were determined by Western blot.RESULTS: Pre-treatment with aloperine remarkably abated the inhibitory effect of SI/R on H9c2 cell viability, and decreased the elevations of LDH and MDA triggered by SI/R (P<0.05). Pre-treatment with aloperine dramatically suppressed the cell apoptosis induced by SI/R treatment (P<0.05), concomitant with the decrease in caspase-3 activity and increase in Bcl-2/Bax ratio (P<0.05). In contrast to SI/R group, aloperine treatment notably restrained the concentrations of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-1β (P<0.05). Furthermore, aloperine remarkably increased the protein levels of p-PI3K and p-AKT. While blocking the PI3K/AKT pathway with its specific inhibitor LY294002, the viability-promoting, anti-apoptotic and anti-inflammatory effects of aloperine on the H9c2 cells were obviously attenuated (P<0.05).CONCLUSION: Alope-rine protects against cardiomyocytes from I/R injury and inhibits inflammatory responses by activating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, implying a potential benefic role of aloperine against myocardial I/R injury.  相似文献

AIM:To investigate the effect of apelin-13 on nicotine-induced apoptosis of cardiomyocytes and its potential molecular mechanism. METHODS:Rat H9c2 cells were treated with nicotine (10 μmol/L) to induced apoptosis. Flow cytometry was used to detect apoptotic rate. Western blot was used to determined the expression of related proteins. RESULTS:Compared with control group, nicotine treatment significantly increased the apoptotic rate of the H9c2 cells (P<0.01), and the protein levels of apoptosis-related proteins Bax and cleaved caspase-3, but markedly decreased the protein levels of Bcl-2, p-Akt, p-PI3K and APJ (P<0.05). Compared with nicotine group, apelin-13+nicotine significantly decreased the apoptotic rate of the H9c2 cells (P<0.01) and the the protein levels of Bax and cleaved caspase-3, but markedly increased the protein levels of Bcl-2, p-Akt, p-PI3K and APJ (P<0.05). Compared with apelin-13+nicotine group, apelin-13+nicotine+PI3K/Akt inhibitor LY294002 significantly increased the apoptotic rate of the H9c2 cells (P<0.01) and the protein levels of Bax and cleaved caspase-3, but markedly decreased the protein levels of Bcl-2, p-Akt and p-PI3K (P<0.05). CONCLUSION:Apelin-13 inhibits nicotine-induced apoptosis of H9c2 cells through PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the inhibitory effect of acetylcholine (ACh) on the apoptosis of myocardial H9c2 cells induced by norepinephrine (NE). METHODS: The apoptosis model of myocardial H9c2 cells was established by treating the cells with NE at different concentrations, and ACh was used to observed the protective effect. The cell viability was measured by MTT assay and the optimal doses of NE and ACh were selected. Four blockers related to different signaling pathways were also used. The apoptotic rate was analyzed by flow cytometry with Annexin V-FITC/PI staining. JC-1 staining was used to observe the changes of mitochondrial membrane potential of the H9c2 cells. DCFH-DA staining was used to observe intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. RESULTS: The viability of H9c2 cells was decreased by treatment with NE at 10 μmol/L. The membrane potential of mitochondria was decreased, while ROS production and apoptotic rate were increased significantly (P<0.05). Pretreatment with ACh at 10 mmol/L resulted in the increase in cell viability and decrease in the ROS production, and inhibited the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential and cell apoptosis (P<0.05). After treatment with the 4 signaling pathway blockers before ACh, the protective effect of ACh was significantly reduced only by PDTC. CONCLUSION: ACh inhibits the apoptosis of H9c2 cells induced by NE, and its mechanism may be related to NF-κB signaling pathway.  相似文献
