To investigate whether mitochondria permeability transition pore (mPTP) opening was involved in ginsenoside Rb1 (Gs-Rb1) induced anti-hypoxia effects in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes ex vivo.
Cardiomyocytes were randomly divided into 7 groups: control group, hypoxia group (500 micromol/L CoCl(2)), Gs-Rb1 200 micromol/L group (CoCl(2) intervention+Gs-Rb1), wortmannin (PI3K inhibitor) 0.5 micromol/L group, wortmannin+Gs-Rb1 group, adenine 9-beta-D-arabinofuranoside (Ara A, AMPK inhibitor) 500 micromol/L group, and Ara A and Gs-Rb1 group. Apoptosis rate was determined by using flow cytometry. The opening of the transient mPTP was assessed by using co-loading with calcein AM and CoCl(2) in high conductance mode. Expression of GSK-3beta, cytochrome c, caspase-3 and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) was measured by using Western blotting. DeltaGSK-3beta was defined as the ratio of p-Ser9-GSK-3beta to total GSK-3beta.
CoCl(2) significantly stimulated mPTP opening and up-regulated the level of DeltaGSK-3beta. There was a statistically significant positive correlation between apoptosis rate and mPTP opening, between apoptosis rate and DeltaGSK-3beta, and between mPTP opening and DeltaGSK-3beta. Gs-Rb1 significantly inhibited mPTP opening induced by hypoxia (41.3%+/-2.0%, P<0.001) . Gs-Rb1 caused a 77.3%+/-3.2% reduction in the expression of GSK-3beta protein (P<0.001) and a significant increase of 1.182+/-0.007-fold (P=0.0001) in p-Ser9-GSK-3beta compared with control group. Wortmannin and Ara A significantly inhibited the effect of Gs-Rb1 on mPTP opening and DeltaGSK-3beta. Gs-Rb1 significantly decreased expression of cytochrome c (66.1%+/-1.7%, P=0.001), caspase-3 (56.5%+/-2.7%, P=0.001) and cleaved poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) (57.9%+/-1.4%, P=0.001).
Gs-Rb1 exerted anti-hypoxia effect on neonatal rat cardiomyocytes by inhibiting GSK-3beta-mediated mPTP opening.
探讨线粒体通透性转换孔(mPTP)开放是否参与人参皂甙 Rb1(Gs-Rb1)诱导的新生大鼠心肌细胞体外抗缺氧作用。
心肌细胞随机分为 7 组:对照组、缺氧组(500 μmol/L CoCl2)、Gs-Rb1 200 μmol/L 组(CoCl2 干预+Gs-Rb1)、wortmannin(PI3K 抑制剂)0.5 μmol/L 组、wortmannin+Gs-Rb1 组、腺嘌呤 9-β-D-阿拉伯呋喃糖苷(Ara A,AMPK 抑制剂)500 μmol/L 组和 Ara A 和 Gs-Rb1 组。采用流式细胞术测定细胞凋亡率。采用共加载 calcein AM 和高电导模式 CoCl2 评估瞬时 mPTP 的开放。采用 Western blot 测定 GSK-3β、细胞色素 c、caspase-3 和多聚(ADP-核糖)聚合酶(PARP)的表达。定义 p-Ser9-GSK-3β与总 GSK-3β的比值为 DeltaGSK-3β。
CoCl2 显著刺激 mPTP 开放并上调 DeltaGSK-3β 水平。细胞凋亡率与 mPTP 开放、细胞凋亡率与 DeltaGSK-3β、mPTP 开放与 DeltaGSK-3β之间存在统计学显著正相关。Gs-Rb1 显著抑制缺氧诱导的 mPTP 开放(41.3%+/-2.0%,P<0.001)。Gs-Rb1 导致 GSK-3β 蛋白表达降低 77.3%+/-3.2%(P<0.001),p-Ser9-GSK-3β 显著增加 1.182+/-0.007 倍(P=0.0001)。wortmannin 和 Ara A 显著抑制 Gs-Rb1 对 mPTP 开放和 DeltaGSK-3β 的作用。Gs-Rb1 显著降低细胞色素 c(66.1%+/-1.7%,P=0.001)、caspase-3(56.5%+/-2.7%,P=0.001)和裂解多聚 ADP-核糖聚合酶(PARP)(57.9%+/-1.4%,P=0.001)的表达。
Gs-Rb1 通过抑制 GSK-3β 介导的 mPTP 开放对新生大鼠心肌细胞发挥抗缺氧作用。
