Abstract:
Objective To investigate the anti-apoptotic mechanism of tanshinone ⅡA and the function of prohibitin (PHB) on myocardial cells apoptosis induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Methods Myocardial cells were primary cultured neonate rat were cultured in medium with 200 μmol/L H2O2, and the medium was supplemented with tanshinone ⅡA (1 × 10－4 mol/L) in advance for 24 h. PHB in myocardial cells was knocked down by RNA interference, and the expression level of PHB was determined by Western blotting analysis. Flow cytometric analysis was used to detect apoptosis rate, intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i), and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP). Results H2O2-mediated cell apoptosis resulted in activation of PHB, increasing of [Ca2+]i, and decreasing of MMP. Tanshinone ⅡA profoundly inhibited myocardial cell apoptosis induced by H2O2, decreased [Ca2+]i, and increased MMP. Speci?c silence of PHB by siRNA down-regulated the expression level of PHB, increased apoptosis rate and [Ca2+]i, and decreased MMP. Conclusion The results demonstrate that tanshinone ⅡA could attenuate apoptosis induced by H2O2, and the activation of PHB induced by H2O2 is the major regulatory pathway of cyto-protective gene expression against oxidative stress.
