Abstract:
Objective To detect the protein expression changes of mitochondrial apoptotic pathway during the reverse effects of lipid emulsion on bupivacaine cardiotoxicity, so as to investigate the probable mechanism concerning the reverse effect of lipid emulsion on bupivacaine cardiotoxicity.Methods The ventricular muscles of 15 healthy SD neonatal mice (1-3 d) were chosen to conduct primary culture in vitro.And the cardiomyocytes were cultivated in a medium containing bupivacaine for 24 hours to establish its bupivacaine poisoning model.The cultured cardiomyocytes were divided into three groups: control group (group C);bupivacaine group (group B);and bupivacaine+lipid emulsion group (group BL).Flow cytometry was applied to examine the apoptosis of cardiomyocytes, and the Western blot was employed to detect the protein expression variation of cytochrome C (Cyto-C) and cleaved casepase-3.Results Compared with group C, the apoptosis rate was remarkably increased in both group B and group BL and that of the group B was dramatically higher than that of the group BL, with a statistical significance (P<0.05).Compared with group C, the protein expression levels of both Cyto-C and cleaved casepase-3 were significantly increased in groups B and BL (P<0.05), and the protein expression levels of both Cyto-C and cleaved casepase-3 in group B were significantly higher than those in group BL (P<0.05).Conclusion Lipid emulsion can regulate apoptosis through inhibiting the release of mitochondrial Cyto-C and reducing casepase-3 activation, thus it protects cardiomyocytes.
