Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of lycopene (Lyc) on H9c2 cell apoptosis induced by angiotensin Ⅱ (Ang Ⅱ).Methods Using Ang Ⅱ (10 μmol/L) to stimulate H9c2 cells,we observed the protective effect of Lyc on H9c2 cells apoptosis.The H9c2 cells viability induced by different consideration of Lyc or Ang Ⅱ or both was detected by CCK8 assay.The expression levels of Bax and Bcl-2 in H9c2 cells were determined by real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).Western blot was conducted to detect the protein expressions of Bax,Caspase 3,Caspase 9 and Bcl-2 in H9c2 cells.The apoptotic ratio of H9c2 cells was observed by TUNEL assay.Results Compared with control group,Ang Ⅱ could decrease the viability of H9c2 cells to (92.87±4.37)％.The result of RT-PCR showed that Ang Ⅱ decreased the expression level of Bcl-2,and Bax level was increased under the stimulation of Ang Ⅱ (P＜0.05),while the expression level of Bcl-2 was increased and Bax level was decreased under the co-stimulation of Ang Ⅱ and Lyc in a concentration dependent manner,which indicated that Lyc ameliorated the apoptosis of H9c2 cells.The result of western blot showed that the protein expressions of Bax,Caspase 3 and Caspase 9 were increased,but Bcl-2 was decreased after the stimulation of Ang Ⅱ (P＜0.05).While these phenomenon reversed apparently under the co stimulation of Ang Ⅱ and Lyc.A large number of apoptotic cells were observed under the stimulation of Ang Ⅱ through TUNEL assay.But the number of apoptotic cells reduced significantly under the co-stimulation of Lyc and Ang Ⅱ (P ＜0.05).Conclusions Lyc ameliorates the H9c2 cell apoptosis induced by Ang Ⅱ,which indicates that Lyc may have an important role in the treatment of various cardiovascular diseases.
