Abstract:
AIM: To study the role of hypoxia precondit io ning (HP) in hypoxia-reoxygenation (HR)-induced apoptosis in neonatal rat cardio myocytes and the possible mechanisms. METHODS: Cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were divided into three groups: normal group, HP+H/R group and H/R group. Acridine orange (AO) sta ining was performed to detect morphological changes of apoptotic cells. Apoptosi s rates of cardiomyocytes were detected by flow cytometry. Colorimetric assay wa s used to detect caspase-3 activity. Expression of Bcl-2 protein was detected by immunohistochemistry combined with computer image analysis. RESULTS: Apoptotic cells were detected by AO staining after hypo xia of 6 h followed by 3 h-reoxygenation. The hypodiploid apoptotic peak was det ected by flow cytometry with the apoptotic rates of (29.7?5.4)%. A significan tly reduced apoptotic rates of (7.8?1.3)% was detected in HP group(P
