Abstract:
AIM: To explore the role of extracellular signal-regulated kinases ERK1/2-STAT3 pathway in adaptive cytoprotection induced by H2O2 preconditioning in PC12 cells.METHODS: In PC12 cells,the experimental model of cytoprotection by H2O2 preconditioning against oxidative stress-induced injury was set up.The morphological changes in the apoptotic cells were observed by using of chromatin dye Hoechst 33258.The percent of apoptotic cells was determined by flow cytometry(FCM) with propidium iodide staining.The levels of p-ERK1/2 and p-STAT3 expression were detected by Western blotting assay.RESULTS: Preconditioning with H2O2 at concentration of 100 ?mol/L for 90 min obviously inhibited apoptosis induced by 300 ?mol/L H2O2,and both ERK1/2 and STAT3 were activated.UO126(10 ?mol/L,an inhibitor of ERK1/2) or AG-490(10?mol/L,an inhibitor of JAK2) significantly blocked the cytoprotection effect of H2O2 preconditioning.Moreover,UO126(10 ?mol/L) also markedly inhibited the up-regulation of p-STAT3 expression by H2O2 preconditioning.CONCLUSION: H2O2 preconditioning activates ERK1/2-STAT3 signal pathway,which may be one of the mechanisms underlying H2O2 preconditioning-induced cytoprotection.
