AbstractWhile ischemic preconditioning (IPC) and other cardioprotective interventions have been proposed to protect the heart from ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury by inhibiting mitochondrial complex I activity upon reperfusion, the exact mechanism underlying the modulation of complex I activity remains elusive. This study was aimed to test the hypothesis that IPC modulates complex I activity at reperfusion by activating mitochondrial Src tyrosine kinase, and induces cardioprotection against I/R injury. Isolated rat hearts were preconditioned by three cycles of 5-min ischemia and 5-min reperfusion prior to 30-min index ischemia followed by 2 h of reperfusion. Mitochondrial Src phosphorylation (Tyr416) was dramatically decreased during I/R, implying inactivation of Src tyrosine kinase by I/R. IPC increased mitochondrial Src phosphorylation upon reperfusion and this was inhibited by the selective Src tyrosine kinase inhibitor PP2. IPC's anti-infarct effect was inhibited by the selective Src tyrosine kinase inhibitor PP2. Complex I activity was significantly increased upon reperfusion, an effect that was prevented by IPC in a Src tyrosine kinase-dependent manner. In support, Src and phospho-Src were found in complex I. Furthermore, IPC prevented hypoxia/reoxygenation-induced mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and cellular injury in rat cardiomyocytes, which was revoked by PP2. Finally, IPC reduced LDH release induced by both hypoxia/reoxygenation and simulated ischemia/reperfusion, an effect that was reversed by PP2 and Src siRNA. These data suggest that mitochondrial Src tyrosine kinase accounts for the inhibitory action of IPC on complex I and mitochondrial ROS generation, and thereby plays a role in the cardioprotective effect of IPC. 相似文献

Ischemic heart disease is a leading cause of death worldwide. Myocardial ischemia results in reduced coronary flow, followed by diminished oxygen and nutrient supply to the heart. Reperfusion to an ischemic myocardium often augments the ischemic damage, known as ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. Number of studies demonstrated that the hyperlipidemic myocardium is rather sensitive and more vulnerable to I/R-induced myocardial injury. Repeated brief ischemia and reperfusion cycles, termed as ischemic preconditioning, given before a sustained ischemia is known to reduce myocardial damage occur as a result of I/R. A plethora of evidence supports the fact that preconditioning is one of the promising interventional strategies having an ability to limit I/R-induced myocardial injury. Despite this fact, the preconditioning-mediated cardioprotection is blunted in chronic hyperlipidemic condition. This suggests that preconditioning is moderately a ‘healthy heart protective phenomenon’. The mechanisms by which chronic hyperlipidemia abrogates cardioprotective effects of preconditioning are uncertain and are not completely understood. The impaired opening of mitochondrial-KATP channels, eNOS uncoupling and excessive generation of superoxides in the hyperlipidemic myocardium could play a role in attenuating preconditioning-mediated myocardial protection against I/R injury. Moreover, hyperlipidemia-induced loss of cardioprotective effect of preconditioning is associated with redistribution of both sarcolemmal and mitochondrial Connexin 43. We addressed, in this review, the potential mechanisms involved in hyperlipidemia-induced impairment of myocardial preconditioning. Additionally, novel pharmacologic interventions to attenuate hyperlipidemia-associated exaggerated I/R-induced myocardial injury have been discussed. 相似文献

Hypoxia/Reoxygenation (H/R) cardiac injury is of great importance in understanding Myocardial Infarctions, which affect a major part of the working population causing debilitating side effects and often-premature mortality. H/R injury primarily consists of apoptotic and necrotic death of cardiomyocytes due to a compromise in the integrity of the mitochondrial membrane. Major factors associated in the deregulation of the membrane include fluctuating reactive oxygen species (ROS), deregulation of mitochondrial permeability transport pore (MPTP), uncontrolled calcium (Ca2+) fluxes, and abnormal caspase-3 activity. Erythropoietin (EPO) is strongly inferred to be cardioprotective and acts by inhibiting the above-mentioned processes. Surprisingly, the underlying mechanism of EPO''s action and H/R injury is yet to be fully investigated and elucidated. This study examined whether EPO maintains Ca2+ homeostasis and the mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) in cardiomyocytes when subjected to H/R injury and further explored the underlying mechanisms involved. H9C2 cells were exposed to different concentrations of EPO post-H/R, and 20 U/ml EPO was found to significantly increase cell viability by inhibiting the intracellular production of ROS and caspase-3 activity. The protective effect of EPO was abolished when H/R-induced H9C2 cells were treated with Wortmannin, an inhibitor of Akt, suggesting the mechanism of action through the activation Akt, a major survival pathway. 相似文献

Previous studies have shown that stomatin-like protein-2 (SLP-2) could regulate mitochondrial biogenesis and function. The study was designed to explore the contribution of SLP-2 to the myocardial ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) injury. Anesthetized rats were treated with SLP-2 and subjected to ischemia for 30 minutes before 3 hours of reperfusion. An oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation model of I/R was established in H9C2 cells. In vivo, SLP-2 significantly improved cardiac function recovery of myocardial I/R injury rats by increasing fractional shortening and ejection fraction. SLP-2 pretreatment alleviated infarct area and myocardial apoptosis, which was paralleled by decreasing the level of cleaved caspase-3 and the ratio of Bax/Bcl-2, increasing the content of superoxide dismutase and reducing oxidative stress damage in serum. In addition, SLP-2 increased the level of ATP and stabilized mitochondrial potential (Ψm). The present in vitro study revealed that overexpression with SLP-2 reduced H9C2 cells apoptosis, accompanied by an increased level of ATP, the ratio of mitochondrial DNA/nuclear DNA, activities of complex II and V, and decreased the production of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species. Simultaneously, SLP-2 activated the adenosine 5′-monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling pathway in myocardial I/R injury rats and H9C2 cells. This study revealed that SLP-2 mediates the cardioprotective effect against I/R injury by regulating AMPK signaling pathway. 相似文献

‘Methylamine irisolidone’ (=5,7‐dihydroxy‐6‐methoxy‐3‐(4‐methoxyphenyl)‐8‐[(methylamino)methyl]‐4H‐[1]benzopyran‐4‐one), a new compound, is a structurally modified kakkalide with good water solubility. In this study, we investigated its effect on hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injury in cultured rat cardiac myocytes. The results showed that methylamine irisolidone could significantly inhibit lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release, enhance the mitochondrial membrane potential, decrease intracellular calcium (Ca2+) associated with the attenuation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, reduce contents of malondialdehyde (MDA), and increase the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) after H/R in a dose‐dependent manner. The present study demonstrated that methylamine irisolidone can directly protect cardiomyocytes against H/R injury, primarily as a result of reduction of the intracellular Ca2+ overload coincident with an attenuation of ROS generation and ROS‐mediated lipid peroxidation, which may contribute to the preservation of mitochondrion function and antioxidant against H/R injury. 相似文献

Extensive research focused on finding effective strategies to prevent or improve recovery from myocardial ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) has been shown to have therapeutic potential in some heart disorders, including ischaemic injury. In this study, we demonstrate that bFGF administration can inhibit the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and mitochondrial dysfunction induced in the heart in a mouse model of I/R injury. In vitro, bFGF exerts a protective effect by inhibiting the ER stress response and mitochondrial dysfunction proteins that are induced by tert‐Butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) treatment. Both of these in vivo and in vitro effects are related to the activation of two downstream signalling pathways, PI3K/Akt and ERK1/2. Inhibition of these PI3K/Akt and ERK1/2 pathways by specific inhibitors, LY294002 and PD98059, partially reduces the protective effect of bFGF. Taken together, our results indicate that the cardioprotective role of bFGF involves the suppression of ER stress and mitochondrial dysfunction in ischaemic oxidative damage models and oxidative stress‐induced H9C2 cell injury; furthermore, these effects underlie the activation of the PI3K/Akt and ERK1/2 signalling pathways. 相似文献

Gypenosides (GP) are the predominant components of Gynostemma pentaphyllum, a Chinese herb medicine that has been widely used for the treatment of chronic inflammation, hyperlipidemia, and cardiovascular disease. GP has been demonstrated to exert protective effects on the liver and brain against ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury, yet whether it is beneficial to the heart during myocardial I/R is unclear. In this study, we demonstrate that pre-treatment with GP dose-dependently limits infarct size, alleviates I/R-induced pathological changes in the myocardium, and preserves left ventricular function in a rat model of cardiac I/R injury. In addition, GP pre-treatment reduces oxidative stress and protects the intracellular antioxidant machinery in the myocardium. Further, we show that the cardioprotective effect of GP is associated with the preservation of mitochondrial function in the cardiomyocytes, as indicated by ATP level, enzymatic activities of complex I, II, and IV on the mitochondrial respiration chain, and the activity of citrate synthase in the citric acid cycle for energy generation. Moreover, GP maintains mitochondrial membrane integrity and inhibits the release of cytochrome c from the mitochondria to the cytosol. The cytoprotective effect of GP is further confirmed in vitro in H9c2 cardiomyoblast cell line with oxygen-glucose deprivation and reperfusion (OGD/R), and the results indicate that GP protects cell viability, reduces oxidative stress, and preserves mitochondrial function. In conclusion, our study suggests that GP may be of clinical value in cytoprotection during acute myocardial infarction and reperfusion. 相似文献

During restoration of blood flow of the ischemic heart induced by coronary occlusion, free radicals cause lipid peroxidation with myocardial injury. Lipid peroxidation end-products, such as malondialdehyde (MDA), have been used to assess oxygen free radical-mediated injury of the ischemic-reperfused (I/R) myocardium in rats. This experimental study assessed the preventive effect of caffeic acid phenthyl ester (CAPE), antioxidant, on I/R-induced lipid peroxidation in the rat heart. We are also interested in the role of CAPE on glutathione (GSH) levels, an antioxidant whose levels are influenced by oxidative stress. I/R leads to the depletion of GSH which is the major intracellular nonprotein sulphydryl and plays an important role in the maintenance of cellular proteins and lipid in their functional state and acts primarily to protect these important structures against the threat of oxidation. In addition, we also examined morphologic changes in the heart by using light microscopy. The left coronary artery was occluded for 30 min and then reperfused for 120 min more before the experiment was terminated. CAPE (50 M kg–1) was administered 10 min prior to ischemia and during occlusion by infusion. At the end of the reperfusion period, rats were sacrificed, and the heart was quickly removed for biochemical determination and histopathological analysis. I/R was accompanied by a significant increase in MDA production and decrease in GSH content in the rat heart. Administration of CAPE reduced MDA production and prevented depletion of GSH content. These beneficial changes in these biochemical parameters were also associated with parallel changes in histopathological appearance. These findings imply that I/R plays a causal role in heart injury due to overproduction of oxygen radicals or insufficient antioxidant and CAPE exert cardioprotective effects probably by the radical scavenging and antioxidant activities. 相似文献

Rationale: Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is a common clinic scenario that occurs in the context of reperfusion therapy for acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The mitochondrial F1Fo-ATPase inhibitory factor 1 (IF1) blocks the reversal of the F1Fo-ATP synthase to prevent detrimental consumption of cellular ATP and associated demise. In the present study, we study the role and mechanism of IF1 in myocardial I/R injury.Methods: Mice were ligated the left anterior descending coronary artery to build the I/R model in vivo. Rat hearts were isolated and perfused with constant pressure according to Langendorff. Also, neonatal cardiomyocytes hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R) model was also used. Myocardial infarction area, cardiac function, cellular function, and cell viability was conducted and compared.Results: Our data revealed that IF1 is upregulated in hearts after I/R and cardiomyocytes with hypoxia/re-oxygenation (H/R). IF1 delivered with adenovirus and adeno-associated virus serotype 9 (AAV9) ameliorated cardiac dysfunction and pathological development induced by I/R ex vivo and in vivo. Mechanistically, IF1 stimulates glucose uptake and glycolysis activity and stimulates AMPK activation during in vivo basal and I/R and in vitro OGD/R conditions, and activation of AMPK by IF1 is responsible for its cardioprotective effects against H/R-induced injury.Conclusions: These results suggest that increased IF1 in the I/R heart confer cardioprotective effects via activating AMPK signaling. Therefore, IF1 can be used as a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of pathological ischemic injury and heart failure. 相似文献

Sildenafil citrate concentrations not affecting oxidative phosphorylation depress H2O2 generation by rat heart mitochondria 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Sildenafil citrate (Viagra) is a potent and specific inhibitor of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)-specific phosphodiesterase
type 5 (PDE5), which exhibits cardioprotective action against ischemia/reperfusion injury in intact and isolated heart. The
mechanism of its cardioprotective action is not completely understood, but some results suggested that sildenafil exerts cardioprotection
through the opening of mitochondrial ATP-sensitive K+ channels (mitoKATP). However, the impact of sildenafil citrate per se on isolated heart mitochondrial function is unknown. The goal of this
study was to investigate the influence of the compound on mitochondrial function (bioenergetics, Ca2+-induced mitochondrial permeability transition, and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) generation) in an attempt to correlate its known actions with effects on heart mitochondria. It was observed that sildenafil
citrate concentrations of up to 50 μM did not significantly affect glutamate/malate-supported respiration in states 2, 3,
4, oligomycin-inhibited state 3, and uncoupled respiration. The respiratory control ratio (RCR), the ADP to oxygen ratio (ADP/O),
the transmembrane potential (ΔΨ), the phosphorylation rate, and the membrane permeability to H+, K+ and Ca2+ were not affected either. However, sildenafil citrate decreased H2O2 generation by mitochondria respiring glutamate/malate, and also decreased the formation of superoxide radical (O2•−) generated in a hypoxantine/xantine oxidase system. It was concluded that sildenafil citrate concentrations of up to 50 μM
do not affect either rat heart mitochondrial bioenergetics or Ca2+-induced mitochondrial permeability transition, but it depresses H2O2 generation by acting as a superoxide dismutase (SOD)-mimetic. By preventing reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, sildenafil
citrate may preserve heart mitochondrial function. 相似文献

Administration of propofol at the time of reperfusion has shown to protect the heart from ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) injury. The aim of the present study was to investigate the molecular mechanism underling the cardioprotective effect of propofol against myocardial I/R injury (MIRI) in vivo and in vitro. Rat heart I/R injury was induced by ligation of the left anterior descending (LAD) artery for 30 min followed by 2-hr reperfusion. Propofol pretreatment (0.01 mg/g) was performed 10 min before reperfusion. In vitro MIRI was investigated in cultured cardiomyocytes H9C2 following hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injuries. Propofol pretreatment in vitro was achieved in the medium supplemented with 25 μmol/L propofol before H/R injuries. Propofol pretreatment significantly increased miRNA-451 expression, decreased HMGB1 expression, reduced infarct size, and I/R-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis in rat hearts undergoing I/R injuries. Knockdown of miRNA-451 48 hr before I/R injury was found to increase HMGB1 expression, infarct size, and I/R-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis in rat hearts in the presence of propofol pretreatment. These in vivo findings were reproduced in vivo that knockdown of miRNA-451 48 hr before H/R injuries increased HMGB1 expression and H/R-induced apoptosis in cultured H9C2 supplemented with propofol. In addition, luciferase activity assays and gain-of-function studies found that propofol could decrease HMGB1, the target of miRNA-541. Taken together our findings provide a first demonstration that propofol-mediated cardioprotection against MIRI is dependent of microRNA-451/HMGB1. The study provides a novel target to prevent I/R injury during propofol anesthesia. 相似文献

Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury mainly caused by oxidative stress plays a major role in cardiac damage. The extent of the I/R injury is also an important factor that determines the function of a transplanted heart. This study first examined whether hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers (HBOCs) could protect isolated rat heart from I/R injury and then elucidated the underlying mechanism. Using the Langendorff model, isolated Sprague–Dawley rat hearts were arrested and stored at 4°C for 8 h and then reperfused for 2 h. Compared with St. Thomas' solution (STS) and rat self blood in STS, polymerized placenta hemoglobin (PolyPHb) in STS greatly improved heart contraction and decreased infarction size. The extent of myocardial apoptosis was also significantly decreased, which was related to reduced iNOS-derived nitric oxide production, increased protein ratio of Bcl-2/Bax, and reduced caspase-3 activity and cleavage level. Furthermore, PolyPHb in STS did not increase malondialdehyde, peroxynitrite, or mitochondrial hydrogen peroxide formation, but greatly elevated superoxide dismutase activity and preserved mitochondrial ATP synthesis, which served to maintain redox homeostasis in I/R heart. In conclusion, our results demonstrate that HBOCs protected isolated heart from I/R injury and this protection was associated with attenuation of NO-mediated myocardial apoptosis and restoration of the nitroso-redox balance. 相似文献

The mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPRmt) is involved in numerous diseases that have the common feature of mitochondrial dysfunction. However, its pathophysiological relevance in the context of hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) in endothelial cells remains elusive. Previous studies have demonstrated that acetylcholine (ACh) protects against cardiomyocyte injury by suppressing generation of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS). This study aimed to explore the role of UPRmt in endothelial cells during H/R and to clarify the beneficial effects of ACh. Our results demonstrated that H/R triggered UPRmt in endothelial cells, as evidenced by the elevation of heat shock protein 60 and LON protease 1 protein levels, and resulted in release of mitochondrial pro-apoptotic proteins, including cytochrome C, Omi/high temperature requirement protein A 2 and second mitochondrial activator of caspases/direct inhibitor of apoptosis-binding protein with low PI, from the mitochondria to cytosol. ACh administration markedly decreased UPRmt by inhibiting mtROS and alleviating the mitonuclear protein imbalance. Consequently, ACh alleviated the release of pro-apoptotic proteins and restored mitochondrial ultrastructure and function, thereby reducing the number of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling (TUNEL)-positive cells. Intriguingly, 4-diphenylacetoxy-N-methylpiperidine methiodide, a type-3 muscarinic ACh receptor (M3AChR) inhibitor, abolished the ACh-elicited attenuation of UPRmt and TUNEL positive cells, indicating that the salutary effects of ACh were likely mediated by M3AChR in endothelial cells. In conclusion, our studies demonstrated that UPRmt might be essential for triggering the mitochondrion-associated apoptotic pathway during H/R. ACh markedly suppressed UPRmt by inhibiting mtROS and alleviating the mitonuclear protein imbalance, presumably through M3AChR. 相似文献

Although pentoxifylline (PTXF), a phosphodiesterase inhibitor, has been reported to exert beneficial effects in cardiac bypass surgery, its effect and mechanisms against ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in heart are poorly understood. Because I/R is known to increase the level of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha in myocardium and PTXF has been shown to depress the production of TNF-alpha in failing heart, this study examined the hypothesis that PTXF may attenuate cardiac dysfunction and reduce TNF-alpha content in I/R heart. For this purpose, isolated rat hearts were subjected to global ischemia for 30 min followed by reperfusion for 2-30 min. Although cardiac dysfunction due to ischemia was not affected, the recovery of heart function upon reperfusion was markedly improved by PTXF treatment. This cardioprotective effect of PTXF was dose dependent; maximal effect was seen at a concentration of 125 microM. TNF-alpha, nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB), and phosphorylated NF-kappaB contents were decreased in ischemic heart but were markedly increased within 2 min of starting reperfusion. The ratio of cytosolic-to-homogenate NF-kappaB was decreased, whereas the ratio of particulate-to-homogenate NF-kappaB was increased in I/R hearts. These changes in TNF-alpha and NF-kappaB protein contents as well as in NF-kappaB redistribution due to I/R were significantly attenuated by PTXF treatment. The results of this study indicate that the cardioprotective effects of PTXF against I/R injury may be due to reductions in the activation of NF-kappaB and the production of TNF-alpha content. 相似文献

Ischemia followed by reperfusion results in impairment of cellular and mitochondrial functionality due to opening of mitochondrial permeability transition pores. On the other hand, activation of mitochondrial ATP-sensitive K+ channels (mitoKATP) protects the heart against ischemic damage. This study examined the effects of mitoKATP and mitochondrial permeability transition on isolated rat heart mitochondria and cardiac cells submitted to simulated ischemia and reperfusion (cyanide/aglycemia). Both mitoKATP opening, using diazoxide, and the prevention of mitochondrial permeability transition, using cyclosporin A, protected against cellular damage, without additive effects. MitoKATP opening in isolated rat heart mitochondria slightly decreased Ca2+ uptake and prevented mitochondrial reactive oxygen species production, most notably in the presence of added Ca2+. In ischemic cells, diazoxide decreased ROS generation during cyanide/aglycemia while cyclosporin A prevented oxidative stress only during simulated reperfusion. Collectively, these studies indicate that opening mitoKATP prevents cellular death under conditions of ischemia/reperfusion by decreasing mitochondrial reactive oxygen species release secondary to Ca2+ uptake, inhibiting mitochondrial permeability transition. 相似文献

Ischemic heart disease still remains the most common cause of cardiac death. During ischemia-reperfusion (I/R), reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced in excess in cardiac tissue, where they induce cell death. Our previous study showed that 9-phenanthrol (9-Phe), a specific inhibitor of the TRPM4 channel, preserves cardiac contractile function and protects the heart from I/R injury-related infarction in the excised rat heart. Accordingly, we hypothesized that TRPM4 channels are involved in the 9-Phe-mediated cardioprotection against ROS-induced injury. In rats, intravenous 9-Phe mitigated the development of myocardial infarction caused by the occlusion of the left anterior descending artery. Immunohistochemical analysis indicated that TRPM4 proteins are expressed in ventricular myocytes susceptible to I/R injury. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is among the main ROS overproduced during I/R. In the cardiomyocyte cell line H9c2, pretreatment with 9-Phe prevented cell death induced by conditions mimicking I/R, namely 200 μM H2O2 and hypoxia-reoxygenation. Gene silencing of TRPM4 preserved the viability of H9c2 cardiomyocytes exposed to 200 μM H2O2. These results suggest that the cardioprotective effects of 9-Phe are mediated through the inhibition of the TRPM4 channels. 相似文献

Intermedin (IMD)(1-53) is a novel member of the calcitonin gene-related peptide superfamily and has potent cardioprotective effects against myocardial injury induced by ischemia-reperfusion (I/R). To explore the mechanism of the IMD(1-53) cardioprotective effect, we studied the anti-oxidant effects of IMD(1-53) on myocardial injury induced by I/R in vivo in rat and H(2)O(2) treatment in vitro in rat cardiomyocytes. Compared with sham treatment, I/R treatment induced severe lipid peroxidation injury in rat myocardium: plasma malondialdehyde (MDA) content and myocardial LDH activity was increased by 34% and 85% (all P<0.01); Mn-superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD) and catalase (CAT) activity was reduced 80% and 86% (all P<0.01), respectively, and the protein levels of the NADPH oxidase complex subunits gp91(phox) and p47(phox) were markedly increased, by 86% (P<0.05) and 95% (P<0.01), respectively; IMD(1-53) treatment ameliorated lipid peroxidation injury: plasma MDA content and myocardial LDH activity was decreased by 30% (P<0.05) and 36% (P<0.01); Mn-SOD and CAT activity was elevated 1.0- and 4.3-fold (all P<0.01), respectively; and the protein levels of gp91(phox) and p47(phox) were reduced, by 28% and 36% (both P<0.05), respectively. Concurrently, IMD(1-53) treatment markedly promoted cell viability and inhibited apoptosis in cardiomyocytes as compared with H(2)O(2) treatment alone. Furthermore, IMD(1-53) increased the ratio of p-ERK to ERK by 66% (P<0.05) as compared with I/R alone, and the protective effect of IMD(1-53) on H(2)O(2)-induced apoptosis was abolished by preincubation with PD98059, a MEK inhibitor. IMD(1-53) may improve the oxidative stress injury induced by I/R via inhibiting the production of reactive oxygen species and enhancing ERK phosphorylation. 相似文献

Myocardial infarction triggers oxidative DNA damage, apoptosis and adverse cardiac remodeling in the heart. Small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) proteins mediate post-translational SUMOylation of the cardiac proteins in response to oxidative stress signals. Upregulation of isoform SUMO2 could attenuate myocardial injury via increasing protein SUMOylation. The present study aimed to discover the identity and cardioprotective activities of SUMOylated proteins. A plasmid vector for expressing N-Strep-SUMO2 protein was generated and introduced into H9c2 rat cardiomyocytes. The SUMOylated proteins were isolated with Strep-Tactin® agarose beads and identified by MALDI-TOF-MS technology. As a result, γ-actin was identified from a predominant protein band of ~42 kDa and verified by Western blotting. The roles of SUMO2 and γ-actin SUMOylation were subsequently determined in a mouse model of myocardial infarction induced by ligating left anterior descending coronary artery and H9c2 cells challenged by hypoxia-reoxygenation. In vitro lentiviral-mediated SUMO2 expression in H9c2 cells were used to explore the role of SUMOylation of γ-actin. SUMOylation of γ-actin by SUMO2 was proven to be a new cardioprotective mechanism from the following aspects: 1) SUMO2 overexpression reduced the number of TUNEL positive cells, the levels of 8-OHdG and p-γ-H2ax while promoted the nuclear deposition of γ-actin in mouse model and H9c2 cell model of myocardial infarction; 2) SUMO-2 silencing decreased the levels of nuclear γ-actin and SUMOylation while exacerbated DNA damage; 3) Mutated γ-actin (K68R/K284R) void of SUMOylation sites failed to protect cardiomyocytes against hypoxia-reoxygenation challenge. The present study suggested that SUMO2 upregulation promoted DNA damage repair and attenuated myocardial injury via increasing SUMOylation of γ-actin in the cell nucleus. 相似文献

Susceptibility of cardiomyocytes to stress-induced damage has been implicated in the development of cardiomyopathy in Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a disease caused by the lack of the cytoskeletal protein dystrophin in which heart failure is frequent. However, the factors underlying the disease progression are unclear and treatments are limited. Here, we tested the hypothesis of a greater susceptibility to the opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (PTP) in hearts from young dystrophic (mdx) mice (before the development of overt cardiomyopathy) when subjected to a stress protocol and determined whether the prevention of a PTP opening is involved in the cardioprotective effect of sildenafil, which we have previously reported in mdx mice. Using the 2-deoxy-[(3)H]glucose method to quantify the PTP opening in ex vivo perfused hearts, we demonstrate that when compared with those of controls, the hearts from young mdx mice subjected to ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) display an excessive PTP opening as well as enhanced activation of cell death signaling, mitochondrial oxidative stress, cardiomyocyte damage, and poorer recovery of contractile function. Functional analyses in permeabilized cardiac fibers from nonischemic hearts revealed that in vitro mitochondria from mdx hearts display normal respiratory function and reactive oxygen species handling, but enhanced Ca(2+) uptake velocity and premature opening of the PTP, which may predispose to I/R-induced injury. The administration of a single dose of sildenafil to mdx mice before I/R prevented excessive PTP opening and its downstream consequences and reduced tissue Ca(2+) levels. Furthermore, mitochondrial Ca(2+) uptake velocity was reduced following sildenafil treatment. In conclusion, beyond our documentation that an increased susceptibility to the opening of the mitochondrial PTP in the mdx heart occurs well before clinical signs of overt cardiomyopathy, our results demonstrate that sildenafil, which is already administered in other pediatric populations and is reported safe and well tolerated, provides efficient protection against this deleterious event, likely by reducing cellular Ca(2+) loading and mitochondrial Ca(2+) uptake. 相似文献
