Abstract:
[ ABSTRACT] AIM:To study the effects of anti-aging Klotho protein on neonatal rat myocardial cells with hypo-xia/reoxygenation ( H/R) injury.METHODS:The cardiomyocytes of neonatal SD rats were cultured to establish hypoxia/reoxygenation model.The myocardial cells were divided into normal control group, H/R model group, different concentra-tions of Klotho protein (0.1μmol/L, 1μmol/L and 10μmol/L) pretreatment groups.The myocardial cells pulse frequen-cy was observed before and after H/R.The cell viability was measured by MTT assay.The leakages of LDH, CK and AST, the content of MDA and the activity of SOD were detected.The apoptotic rate of the myocardial cells was analyzed by flow cytometry.The mRNA expression of endoplasmic reticulum stress markers and apoptosis-related molecules GRP78, CRT, CHOP and caspase-12 was measured by real-time PCR.The protein levels of CHOP, caspase-12 and phosphorylated Akt in the myocardial cells were determined by Western blot.RESULTS: Compared with normal control group, the pulse fre-quency, cell viability rate and SOD activity of myocardial cells were significantly decreased, the cell apoptotic rate as well as the contents of LDH, CK, AST and MDA were increased in H/R model group.The mRNA expressions of GRP78, CRT, CHOP and caspase-12 as well as the protein levels of CHOP and caspase-12 were increased, whereas p-Akt level was decreased obviously.Compared with H/R model group, the pulse frequency, cell viability rate and SOD activity were in-creased significantly, the cell apoptotic rate as well as the contents of LDH, CK, AST and MDA were decreased in Klotho pretreated group.The mRNA expression of GRP78, CRT, CHOP and caspase-12 as well as the protein levels of CHOP and
caspase-12 were decreased, while p-Akt level increased significantly.CONCLUSION:Anti-aging Klotho protein improves the myocardial cell survival and inhibits the apoptosis by increasing the resistance of the cells to oxidative stress and exces-sive endoplasmic reticulum stress response, which is related with the activation of Akt phosphorylation in H/R-injured my-cardial cells.
