Remifentanil postconditioning (RPC) confers robust cardioprotection against ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. We recently determined that HDAC3 was involved in RPC-induced cardioprotection. However, the role of HDAC3 and its possible mechanisms in RPC-induced cardioprotection are unknown, which we aimed to evaluate in an in vitro hypoxia/reoxygenation (HR) model.
Myocardium I/R injury was established after HR with H9c2 cardiomyoblasts. Cell viability and apoptosis were evaluated usingCCK-8 and flow cytometry of HR-injured cardiomyoblasts treated with or without RPC. Furthermore, effects of RPC on HDAC3 protein and mRNA expression were evaluated with Western blot and quantitative real-time PCR analyses, whereas GSK-3β expression was measured with Western blot.
RPC increased cell viability and reduced cell apoptosis (P < 0.05) in H9c2 cardiomyoblasts subjected to HR injury. In addition, RPC promoted the phosphorylation of GSK-3β at Ser9 site (P < 0.05) and suppressed the protein and mRNA expression of HDAC3 (P < 0.05). Lentiviral-transduced overexpression of HDAC3 had no significant effects on HR injury while attenuating the cardioprotective effects of RPC on cell viability and apoptosis (P < 0.05), GSK-3β phosphorylation (P < 0.05) in H9c2 cardiomyoblasts.
RPC attenuates apoptosis in H9c2 cardiomyoblasts after HR injury by downregulating HDAC3-mediated phosphorylation of GSK-3β. Our findings suggest that HDAC3, and its cross talk function with GSK-3β, may be a promising target for myocardium I/R injury.
瑞芬太尼后处理(RPC)对缺血/再灌注(I/R)损伤具有强大的心脏保护作用。我们最近发现 HDAC3 参与了 RPC 诱导的心脏保护。然而,HDAC3 及其在 RPC 诱导的心脏保护中的可能机制尚不清楚,我们旨在体外缺氧/复氧(HR)模型中评估这些机制。
用 H9c2 心肌细胞建立 HR 后的心肌 I/R 损伤模型。用 CCK-8 和 HR 损伤的心肌细胞的流式细胞术评估细胞活力和凋亡。此外,用 Western blot 和实时定量 PCR 分析评估 RPC 对 HDAC3 蛋白和 mRNA 表达的影响,用 Western blot 测定 GSK-3β的表达。
RPC 增加了 HR 损伤的 H9c2 心肌细胞的活力,减少了细胞凋亡(P<0.05)。此外,RPC 促进了 GSK-3β 在 Ser9 位点的磷酸化(P<0.05),并抑制了 HDAC3 的蛋白和 mRNA 表达(P<0.05)。HDAC3 的慢病毒转导过表达对 HR 损伤没有显著影响,而减弱了 RPC 对细胞活力和凋亡的保护作用(P<0.05),以及 GSK-3β 的磷酸化(P<0.05)。
RPC 通过下调 HDAC3 介导的 GSK-3β 磷酸化,减轻 HR 损伤后 H9c2 心肌细胞的凋亡。我们的研究结果表明,HDAC3 及其与 GSK-3β 的交叉对话功能可能是心肌 I/R 损伤的一个有前途的靶点。
