AIM: To study the effect of Tribulus terrestris L. saponin (TTLS) on apoptosis and changes in cytosolic calcium concentration induced by hypoxia/re-oxygenation in rat cortical neurons. METHODS: Rat cortical neurons in primary culture were used, and a apoptosis model was induced by hypoxia/reoxygenation. LDH releasing rate was detected by spectrophotometry. The apoptosis rate of cortical neurons was analyzed quantitatively by flow cytometry with Annexin V-FITC and PI staining. Intracellular free Ca2+(［Ca2+］i) was observed with a confocal laser-scanning microscope and determined by mean fluorescent value with Fluo-3 fluometry. RESULTS: Compared to control group, three hours of hypoxia and twelve hours of reoxygenation group induced cortical neuronal apoptosis and significantly increased the intracellular free Ca2+ concentration（P<0.01). Compared with model group, TTLS decreased the percentage of neuronal apoptosis and reduced neuronal ［Ca2+］i（P<0.01).CONCLUSION: TTLS could obviously reduce hypoxia/reoxygenation-induced apoptosis and alleviate the damage degree of rat cortical neurons.The mechanism might be related to inhibiting the calcium overload induced by hypoxia/reoxygenation in rat cortical neurons.  相似文献

AIM: To observe the expression of calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) of rat cardiomyocytes in anoxia-reoxygenation (A/R) injury and CaSR-induced changes of intracellular calcium; involvement of CaSR in apoptosis and relevant signaling transduction pathway. METHODS: The A/R injury was remodeled in vitro; CaSR, caspase 3 and caspase 9 were deteced by Western blotting. LSCM was used to observe changes of intracellular calcium during reperfusion with or without CaSR agonist. Morphological changes in different groups were observed by light microscopes. Apoptotic cells were measured by TUNEL assay. RESULTS: By LSCM, it was found that the intracellular calcium was significantly increased during reperfusion both in A/R and activator group.Severe injury was found by HE staining in the above two groups, the number of apoptotic cells was significantly increased according to TUNEL assay. The expression of CaSR，caspase 3 and caspase 9 was significantly increased in A/R group and activator group compared with control.CONCLUSION: CaSR is involved in intracellular calcium overload in A/R cardiomyocyte, which can accelerate apoptosis during A/R.  相似文献

AIM: To study the interaction of PKCε with the CaR in hypoxic post-conditioning for protecting the cardiomyocyte of neonatal rat. METHODS: The ventricular cardiomyocytes of Wistar neonatal rat (3-7 d after birth) were incubated for about 3-5 d, then randomly divided them into 7 groups: (1) Sham control group (N group); (2) Hypoxic/re-oxygenation group (H/Re group); (3) Hypoxic post-conditioning group (HPC group); (4) HPC+GdCl3, NiCl2, CdCl2 group; (5) HPC+caffeine, GdCl3, NiCl2, CdCl2 group; (6) HPC+PKCε inhibitor group (PKCI group); (7) HPC+PKCI+GdCl3, NiCl2, CdCl2 group. The neonatal cells were incubated in the D-Hanks solution (pH=6.8) which was saturated with N2 gas for 1 h at least and then re-incubated in the DMEM solution containing 20% new-born calf serum to establish a model of H/Re. The viability of cardiomyocytes was assayed by MTT, the activity of LDH and the content of MDA were determined, the expression of CaR and PKCε of the membrane in each group was analyzed by Western blotting, PKCε interaction with CaR in the membrane was detected by immunoprecipitation, and the concentration of intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i) was measured by laser confocal scanning microscope (LCSM), apoptotic cells were measured by TUNEL assay. RESULTS: The viability of cardiomyocytes in H/Re, GdCl3 and PKCI groups was lower than that in N and HPC groups, while the activity of LDH and the content of MDA were significantly higher than those in N and HPC groups. Meanwhile, the quantitative expression of CaR in GdCl3, caffeine and PKCI+GdCl3 groups was higher than that in HPC and PKCI groups, and so were the [Ca2+]i and the apoptosis index. The quantitative expression of PKCε in PKCI and PKCI+GdCl3 groups was lower than that in H/Re, HPC, GdCl3 and caffeine groups. Immunoprecipitation of cell membrane PKCε revealed the interaction of PKCε with CaR. CONCLUSION: In the cardiomyocytes of HPC, PKCε translocates to the membrane and interacts with CaR to reduce [Ca2+]i, which protects the cardiomyocytes of neonatal rat during hypoxic/oxygenation.  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 role of endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) in the process of Bim-mediated cardiomyocyte apoptosis induced by hypoxia. METHODS:Cardiomyocytes were isolated from neonatal Sprague-Dawley rats aged 1~3 days, and primarily cultured in vitro. The antibody targeting α-striated muscle actin was used to identify the cardiomyocytes. The siRNAs targeting bim were transfected into cardiomyocytes with liposome, followed by detecting the expression of Bim by Western blotting. Cardiomyocytes were divided into five groups: blank control group, hypoxia group, hypoxia+liposome group, hypoxia+negative control siRNA group and hypoxia+Bim-siRNA group. The cell viability was determined by MTT assay, and the cell apoptotic rate and the intracellular calcium concentration were measured by flow cytometry. The protein expression of caspase-12 and inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (IP3) was detected by Western blotting. RESULTS:Immunohistochemical identification confirmed that rat cardiomyocytes were successfully cultured. Green fluorescence was observed in the cells transfected with negative control siRNA under fluorescence microscope. The expression of Bim was obviously inhibited after transfected with Bim-siRNAs and the silencing efficiency of Bim-siRNA-2 was the highest (86.73%). Compared with blank control group, the viability of cardiomyocytes in hypoxia group was significantly reduced (P<005). Compared with hypoxia+negative control siRNA group, the viability of cardiomyocytes in hypoxia+Bim-siRNA group was significantly increased (P<005). The apoptotic rate and the intracellular calcium concentration of cardiomyocytes were obviously increased in hypoxia group (P<0.01), and were both decreased after bim silencing (P<005 or P<0.01). The expression of caspase-12 and IP3 was up-regulated in hypoxia group (P<005), and was down-regulated after bim silencing (P<005 or P<0.01). CONCLUSION: Cardiomyocyte apoptosis induced by hypoxia can be inhibited by silencing the expression of bim gene. Caspase-12 and IP3, as markers of ERS, may participate in the process of Bim-mediated cardiomyocyte apoptosis induced by hypoxia.  相似文献

AIM:To observe the change of calcium sensing receptor (CaSR) expression and apoptotic pathways in myocardial infarction rat induced by isoprel.METHODS: The myocardial infarction rat models were prepared by subcutaneous injection of isoprel (ISO 200 mg·kg-1·d-1 for 2 d). Wistar rats were divided into three groups randomly: ① Control group; ② ISO/1d group; ③ ISO /2d group. The expressions of CaSR, 〖STBX〗bcl-2, bax〖STBZ〗 and caspase-3 mRNA and protein were analyzed by RT-PCR and Western blotting, respectively. Apoptotic cells were measured by TUNEL staining assay. The morphological and ultrastructural changes were observed under optical microscope and electronic microscope. The activity of LDH, CK, SOD and the content of MDA were assayed with ultraviolet spectrophotometer. The level of troponin(cTnT) was observed by chemical immunofluoresence.RESULTS: Compared with control group, the activity of LDH and CK, the content of MDA and cTnT, the apoptosis index and the expression of CaSR, Bax and caspase-3 were reached the highest level, but the SOD activity and Bcl-2 expression were decreased. The myocardial ultrastructural injury was aggravated in the ISO/1d group. The change of above parameters in ISO/2d group was between control and ISO/1d group.CONCLUSION:The increased expression of CaSR is involved in rat myocardial infarction induced by isoprel, which is related with oxidative stress and apoptosis.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effects of Rho-associated coiled-coil protein kinase-1 (ROCK1) and ROCK2 on apoptosis induced by hypoxia in rat cardiomyocytes. METHODS: Rat cardiomyocytes were cultured primarily and identified using an antibody targeting α-actin of striated muscle. ROCK1-shRNA and ROCK2-shRNA were transiently transfected into the cells by liposome. After 48 h, these cells were subject to hypoxia for 6 h. The cells were divided into 5 groups: blank control group, hypoxia group, hypoxia+negative control shRNA group, hypoxia+ROCK1-shRNA group and hypoxia+ROCK2-shRNA group. The beating frequency and rhythm of the cardiomyocytes were assessed by microscopy. The activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in the cell culture supernatants was detected by automatic biochemical analyzer. The cell survival rate was analyzed by the method of MTT. The cell apoptotic rate was assessed by flow cytometry. Western blotting was used to determine the expression of ROCK1, ROCK2, caspase-3 and p-PI3K. RESULTS: The primary culture of the cardiomyocytes was successful. Western blotting results showed that the transfection of ROCK1-shRNA or ROCK2-shRNA decreased the expression of ROCK1 or ROCK2 in the cardiomyocytes. Hypoxia slowed down the beat frequency of the cardiomyocytes, also made the rhythm disorder. Hypoxia increased the release of LDH and decreased the cell survival rate. Flow cytometry results showed that hypoxia increased the cell apoptotic rate. Hypoxia increased the expression of caspase-3 and decreased the expression of p-PI3K. Transfection of ROCK1-shRNA and ROCK2-shRNA into the cardiomyocytes reduced all the effects of hypoxia mentioned above. CONCLUSION: Down-regulation of ROCK1 and ROCK2 expression suppresses the apoptosis of rat cardiomyocytes induced by hypoxia. The mechanism is associated with the inhibition of caspase-3 activation and the up-regulation of p-PI3K expression.  相似文献

AIM: To observe the effect of glycine liposomes on the mitochondrial membrane potential and the apoptosis rate in cardiomyocytes induced by hypoxia/reoxygenation injury. METHODS: A cardiomyocyte injury model was established by using hypoxia/reoxygenation. DiOC6(3) as fluorescence molecular probe was used to detect the mitochondrial membrane potential in each group. The method of Annexin V associated with PI was used to detect the apoptosis ratio in each group. RESULTS: (1) The result of flow cytometry showed that the mitochondrial membrane potential of cardiomyocytes in H/R group was obviously lower than that in control group (P<0.01). The decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential in Gly-liposome group was the lowest, the percentage of cells about the part of hypofluorescence was (9.61±0.76)%, which was lower than that in glycine group (P<0.01). (2) The apoptosis rate of cardiomyocytes in H/R group was higher than that in control group (20.78±1.58)%,P<0.01. After the treatment of Gly-liposome, the apoptosis rate of cardiomyocytes was lower than that in glycine group (P<0.01). No difference in the apoptosis ratios between blank-liposome group and H/R group was observed(P>0.05).CONCLUSION: Glycine liposomes protect cultured cardiomyocytes against hypoxia/reoxygenation injury. Glycine liposomes produce the better protective effects than glycine.  相似文献

AIM: To study the role of hypoxia preconditioning (HP) in hypoxia-reoxygenation (HR)-induced apoptosis in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes and the possible mechanisms. METHODS: Cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were divided into three groups: normal group, HP+H/R group and H/R group. Acridine orange (AO) staining was performed to detect morphological changes of apoptotic cells. Apoptosis rates of cardiomyocytes were detected by flow cytometry. Colorimetric assay was used to detect caspase-3 activity. Expression of Bcl-2 protein was detected by immunohistochemistry combined with computer image analysis. RESULTS: Apoptotic cells were detected by AO staining after hypoxia of 6 h followed by 3 h-reoxygenation. The hypodiploid apoptotic peak was detected by flow cytometry with the apoptotic rates of (29.7±5.4)%. A significantly reduced apoptotic rates of (7.8±1.3)% was detected in HP group（P＜0.01）. The caspase-3 relative activity of cardiomyocytes induced by H/R was 5.9±0.8, significantly higher than that of control group. HP markedly reduced caspase-3 relative activity to 2.6±0.5 in contrast with H/R group （P＜0.01）. Bcl-2 protein was positive in normal cardiomyocytes with an A value of 119.4±7.1. The A value of H/R group was 99.6±5.0, significantly lower than that in normal group （P＜0.01）. The A value of HP+H/R group was 126.5±6.2, significantly higher than that in H/R group（P＜0.01）. CONCLUSION: HP inhibits H/R-induced apoptosis of cardiomyocytes by improving the expression of Bcl-2 and reducing caspase-3 activity.  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 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 effects of adiponectin (APN) on hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R) induced endoplasmic reticulum stress injury in cultured cardiomyocytes. METHODS: Primary cultured cardiomyocytes were obtained from neonatal rats by enzymatic digestion method. The α-actin expression as molecular marker of the cardiomyocytes was observed by immunocytochemistry. The cells cultured for 72 h were used in the experiment and divided into groups randomly: control group, H/R group, APN+H/R (3 mg/L, 10 mg/L, 20 mg/L, 30 mg/L) groups. The morphological changes of the cardiomyocytes were observed under phase contracted microscope. The content of LDH was measured. The cardiomycocyte apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. The expression levels of GRP78 and caspase-12 were examined by RT-PCR and Western blotting. RESULTS: The apoptotic rate was significantly increased in H/R group as compared to that in control group (68.20%±1.73% vs 0.73%±0.21%, P<0.05). The levels of LDH in H/R group were also significantly increased. Compared to untreated cells, the protein and mRNA levels of GRP78 and caspase-12 increased significantly in H/R cells. The APN preconditioning significantly reversed these changes. The indexes above improved obviously as compared to H/R group (P<0.05) in a dose-dependent manner. CONCLUSION: Hypoxia/reperfusion induces endoplasmic reticulum stress in rat cardiomyocytes. Adiponectin decreases the endoplasmic reticulum stress injury and plays a protective role by extenuation of cadiomyocyte apoptosis.  相似文献

AIM: To observe the effects of prostaglandin E2 receptor1 (EP1) in neuronal cell death induced by hypoxia/re-oxygenation and ischemia/reperfusion. METHODS: The cortical neurocytes of neonatal Wistar rats were cultured for 12 days and exposed to hypoxia/re-oxygenation to establish a hypoxia/re-oxygenation model. Another set of cultured primary neonatal cortical neurocytes of rats were pre-treated with 17-pt (an antagonist of EP1), then underwent hypoxia for 3 h, re-oxygenated for 21 h. MTT reagent was added 1 h before measuring the cell viability. Neuron apoptosis was determined by flow cytometry. The protein expression was examined by Western blotting. RESULTS: Compared to the control cells (only underwent hypoxia /re-oxygenation and without any pretreatment), the neurons pretreated with 17-pt and then underwent hypoxia/re-oxygenation showed significantly lower survival rate (P<0.05) and increased expression level of caspase-3 and neuron apoptosis. CONCLUSION: EP1 is involved in the pathogenesis of neuron death induced by hypoxia/ischemia and may be a new target for treating ischemic stroke.  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 expression of calcium sensing receptor(CaSR) during myocardial injury induced by ischemia/reperfusion and disclose the relationship between CaSR and myocardial ischemia/reperfusion. METHODS: The experimental model was established by the 30 min ligating and 1 h, 2 h, 4 h, 6 h reperfusing the left descending coronary artery (LAD) in rats. Wistar rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: sham group, ischemia/reperfusion 1 h, 2 h, 4 h, 6 h groups (I/R 1 h, 2 h, 4 h, 6 h group). CaSR mRNA expression was detected by RT-PCR. Left ventricular function was recorded. The levels of plasma lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), alondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were measured. The change of ultrastructure in the ischemia/reperfusion myocardium of rats was observed by electron microscopy. RESULTS: LVSP,±dp/dtmax and SOD activity decreased gradually with the reperfusion time prolonged. LDH and MDA peaked at 2 h. The ultramicro-structural injury at the 1 h and 2 h was more serious than that at 4 h and 6 h. The expression of CaSR increased significantly after reperfusion of 1 h and 2 h, and decreased after 4 h and 6 h. CONCLUSION: The increased expression of CaSR mRNA and serious injure of myocardium were observed. CaSR may be associated with the myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury.  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 observe the influence of glycine on intracellular free calcium, the concentration of tumor necrosis factor-α and the survival rate of myocardial cells during hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R). METHODS: The simulated model of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion with the primary cultured cardiomyocytes of neonatal rats was established, and the cultured cardiomyocytes were divided into seven groups, control group, hypoxia/reoxygenation group, glycine (0.5 mmol/L) plus hypoxia/reoxygenation group, glycine (1.0 mmol/L) plus hypoxia/reoxygenation group, glycine (2.0 mmol/L) plus hypoxia/reoxygenation group, glycine (4.0 mmol/L) plus hypoxia/reoxygenation group, 4.0 mmol/L glycine group. RESULTS: Within certain concentration (0.5-2.0 mmol/L), the glycine could inhibit the calcium overload resulting from hypoxia/reoxygenation injury in cells in a dose-dependent manner with the optimal inhibitory effect at 2.0 mmol/L. Glycine inhibited the secretion of tumor necrosis factor-α from myocardial cells and increased the survival rate of myocardial cells. CONCLUSION: Glycine has a protective effect on hypoxia/reoxygenation myocardial cells, which may be related to inhibiting calcium overload and decreasing the production of tumor necrosis factor-α.  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 elucidate the mechanism of alcoholic myocardiopathy (AHMD) by exploring the role of ROS mediated oxidative stress in acetaldehyde-induced cardiomyocytes apoptosis. METHODS: Cultured rat cardiomyocytes were stimulated with acetaldehyde (100 μmol/L) for 24 h, then the cell apoptotic index were examined and compared to that with alcohol (100 μmol/L) stimulation. The changes of ROS levels and SOD activities were explored by a time-dependent model in acetaldehyde-induced cardiomyocytes. Meanwhile, the phosphorylation changes of ROS mediated MAPK signaling pathway correlated proteins were also detected, with which compared that changes both in pre-adding NAC acetaldehyde-induced cardiomyocytes, and in H2O2 (100 μmol/L) induced cardiomyocytes, respectively. RESULTS: Acetaldehyde had more obvious apoptotic effect than alcohol through caspase 3 activating (P<0.05, vs control), both cellular ROS level and SOD activity increased in a time-dependent way, and reached the peak value of (78.84%±4.33%) for ROS and (0.55±0.02) for SOD among 18 to 24 h, respectively. Meanwhile, JNK and ERK protein phosphorylation upregulated in acetaldehyde-induced cardiomyocytes, and was reversed by NAC anti-oxidative effect. However all the phosphorylation levels were weaker than that in H2O2-induced group. CONCLUSION: Acetaldehyde causes oxidative damage in cardiomyocytes through enhancing cellular ROS level, and induces cardiocytes apoptosis by activating ROS mediated JNK pathway. The novel way of depressing cellular ROS level or blocking the special apoptotic pathway may have effects on AHMD preservation and therapy.  相似文献
