Abstract:
Objecave The effects of PGF2α on the reactive oxygen species generation and cardiomyocyte hypertrophy were examined in experiments on the cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes.It is to study the role of ROS in the signaling pathway of cardiomyocyte hypertrophy induced by PGF2α.Methods The level of intracellular ROS wag measured by the ROS-specific probe 2',7'-dichlorofluorescin diacetate (DCF-DA).Cardiomyocyte hypertrophy was determined by total protein content of the cells and the cell diameter.Results In the cardiomyocytes treated with PGF2α(1nmol/l,10nmol/l,100nmol/l),the fluorescence intensity of intracellular DCF-DA increased by 38.99%,61.76% and 93.55% respectively compared with control group(F=195.69,P＜0.01).It is indicated that PGF2α can induce intracellular ROS generation on the cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes in a dose-dependent manner.Compared with control group,the total protein increased by 39.51%, 69.93%and 139.06%respectively(F=74.014,P＜0.01),and the cell diameter increased by 29.02%,60.79%and 127.40%respectively(F=721.02,P＜0.01).It is indicated that PGF2α induce cardiomyocyte hypertrophy on the cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes in a dose-dependent manner.Conclusion PGF2α can induce intracellular ROS generation and cardiomyocyte hypertrophy on the cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes in a dose-dependent manner.
