| Abstract: | AIM: To study the expression of glycine receptor α1 subunit in neonatal rat myocardial cells and to investigate the effect of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), hypoxia/reoxygenation, isoproterenol (ISO) and high concentration of glucose (HG) on the expression of glycine receptor α1 subunit in the neonatal rat myocardial cells. METHODS: Neonatal rat myocardial cells were cultured in vitro. The expression of glycine receptor α1 subunit was detected by Western blotting. The neonatal rat myocardial cells were treated with LPS (20 mg/L), ISO (100μmol/L) or high concentration of glucose (25 mmol/L) for 24 h, or were exposed to hypoxia for 3 h followed by reoxygenation for 3 h. Subsequently, the cell viability was measured by CCK-8 assay, and the expression of glycine receptor α1 subunit was determined by Western blotting. RESULTS: The expression of glycine receptor α1 subunit in the neonatal rat myocardial cells was positively detectable by Western blotting. Compared with control group, no significant difference of the cell viability (P>0.05) in LPS group, ISO group, hypoxia/reoxygenation group and HG group was observed. The expression of glycine receptor α1 subunit was increased (P<0.01) in LPS group, ISO group and hypoxia/reoxygenatio group, but decreased (P<0.01) in HG group. CONCLUSION: Glycine receptor α1 subunit exists in the neonatal rat myocardial cells. A certain concentration of LPS or ISO, or hypoxia/reoxygenation for a certain period upregulate the expression of glycine receptor α1 subunit, but HG downregulates the expression of glycine receptor α1 subunit in cultured neonatal rat myocardial cells. |
