Abstract:
Objective:To study the expression and function of Mitofusin 2(Mfn2)in cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes during PE-induced hypertrophy.Methods:The hypertrophy neonatal rat cardiomyocytes model was induced by 0.01 mol/L PE.RT-PCR and Western blot were applied to assess Mfn2 mRNA expression and protein level respectively.Cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were treated by PE after Ad GFP or Ad Mfn2 infection,the protein synthesis was determined by 3H-leucine incorporation assay.Results:PE led to ANF mRNA level(by~1 fold,P
