Yiqi Huoxue granule (YQHX) inhibits cardiomyocyte apoptosis in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI); however, the underlying mechanism is unknown. In this study, hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R) models were established using rat myocardial primary cells and H9c2 cells, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and creatine kinase (CK) levels and cardiomyocyte apoptosis were determined. LDH release, CK activity, caspase-3 activation, mRNA and protein ratio of Bax/Bcl-2, and miR-1 expression were significantly higher ( < 0.01) in the H/R model of rat myocardial primary cells and H9c2 cells compared with the control group and was inhibited by YQHX treatment ( < 0.01 or < 0.05). We also found that miR-1 overexpression could enhance apoptosis in cardiomyocytes, whereas apoptosis could be reduced by YQHX treatment ( < 0.01). In conclusion, YQHX alleviates H/R-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis by inhibiting miR-1 expression, suggesting the potential of YQHX in preventing MIRI.
益气活血颗粒(YQHX)可抑制心肌缺血再灌注损伤(MIRI)中的心肌细胞凋亡;然而,其潜在机制尚不清楚。在本研究中,使用大鼠心肌原代细胞和H9c2细胞建立缺氧复氧(H/R)模型,测定乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)、肌酸激酶(CK)水平及心肌细胞凋亡情况。与对照组相比,大鼠心肌原代细胞和H9c2细胞的H/R模型中LDH释放、CK活性、caspase-3激活、Bax/Bcl-2的mRNA和蛋白比值以及miR-1表达均显著升高(<0.01),而YQHX处理可抑制上述指标(<0.01或<0.05)。我们还发现,miR-1过表达可增强心肌细胞凋亡,而YQHX处理可减少凋亡(<0.01)。综上所述,YQHX通过抑制miR-1表达减轻H/R诱导的心肌细胞凋亡,提示YQHX在预防MIRI方面具有潜在应用价值。
