Abstract:
Aim To investigate the protective effect of Huoxue Jiedu recipe on autophagy injury of H9C2 cardiomyocytes induced by hypoxia/reoxygenation and its mechanism. Methods H9C2 cardiomyocytes were used to establish a hypoxia/reoxygenation injury model. The effective concentration was screened and the cell activity was detected by CCK8 assay. The apoptotic rate of myocardial cells was detected by flow cytometry. The expression of autophagy marker LC3 was observed by laser confocal microscopy. The mRNA levels of Beclin-1, LC3 and Bcl-2 were detected by real-time quantitative PCR. The expressions of Beclin-1, LC311/I, Cleaved caspase-3, β-catenin, p-p65, Bcl-2, p62, p-Akt, p-mTOR were detected by Western blot. Results Huoxue Jiedu recipe can enhance the growth activity of myocardial cells and reduce the apoptotic rate and autophagy level, and it can enhance the activation of PI3K/Akt/mTORCl pathway, decrease Beclin-1 and LC3 mRNA levels, while increase Bcl-2 mRNA levels. It also decreased the expression of Beclin-1, LC311/I, Cleaved caspase-3, β-catenin, p-p65, and increased the expression of p62, p-Akt, p-mTOR, and Bcl-2. Conclusions Huoxue Jiedu recipe can reduce the level of autophagy and apoptosis of myocardial cells by regulating the autophagy pathway of PI3K/Akt/mTORCl, thereby playing a protective role in hypoxia/reoxygenation H9C2 myocardial cells.
