Abstract:
AIM:To explore the effects of genipin (GEN) on high glucose (HG) -induced oxidative stress injury and apoptosis in H9c2 cardiomyocytes.METHODS:H9c2 cells were cultured in vitro and HG-induced injury model was established.H9c2 cells were divided into 4 groups:normal control (NC) group (glucose at 5.6 mmol/L) , HG group (glucose at 50 mmol/L) , NG+GEN group and HG+GEN group.The concentration of genipin was used at 10μmol/L.The viability of the H9c2 cells was measured by CCK-8 assay.The intracellular malondialdehyde (MDA) content and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity were determined by enzyme labeling and WST-1 methods, respectively.The activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in the cell culture supernatant was detected by microplate method.Fluorescent probe DCF was used to detect intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS).Nucleosome fragments was measured to evaluate cell apoptosis by ELISA.The intracellular mitochondrial membrane potential was detected by JC-1 method.The protein levels of Mn-SOD, cytochrome C (Cyt C) , Bax and cleaved caspase-3 were determined by Western blot.RESULTS:Compared with HG group, the cell viability in HG+GEN group was increased significantly (P<0.05) , the levels of MDA and LDH were decreased (P<0.05) , SOD activity was increased (P<0.05) , the levels of ROS and nucleosome fragments in HG+GEN group were decreased (P<0.05) , and the mitochondrial membranes potential was notably increased (P<0.05).Compared with NG group, the activation of Mn-SOD was decreased, but the protein levels of Cyt C, Bax and cleaved caspase-3 were increased in HG group (P<0.05).Compared with HG group, the activation of Mn-SOD was increased, and the protein levels of Cyt C, Bax and cleaved caspase-3 were decreased in HG+GEN group (P<0.05).CONCLUSION:Genipin protects HG-induced H9c2 cardiomyocytes against oxidative stress injury and apoptosis.
