ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Scutellarein, a widely studied ingredient of scutellaria herbs, has higher bioavailability and solubility than that of scutellarin. Although the scutellarein had been reported to modulate numerous biological functions, its ability in suppressing cardiac hypertrophy remains unclear. Hence, the present study attempted to investigate whether scutellarein played critical roles in preventing phenylephrine (PE)-induced cardiac hypertrophy. METHODS ANDRESULTS:
Immunocytochemistry (ICC) was employed for evaluating the morphology of the treated cardiomyocytes. Real-time PCR and western blot were respectively applied to assess the mRNA levels and protein expression of the relevant molecules. Bioinformatics analyses were carried out to investigate the potential mechanisms by which scutellarein modulated the PE-induced cardiac hypertrophy. The results showed that Scutellarein treatment significantly inhibited PE-induced increase in H9c2 and AC16 cardiomyocyte size. Besides, scutellarein treatment also dramatically suppressed the expression of the cardiac hypertrophic markers ANP, BNP and ß-MHC. Furthermore, the effects of scutellarein on attenuating the cardiac hypertrophy might be mediated by suppressing the activity of TRAF2/NF-κB signaling pathway.CONCLUSIONS:
Collectively, our data indicated that scutellarein could protect against PE-induced cardiac hypertrophy via regulating TRAF2/NF-κB signaling pathway using in vitro experiments.Palavras-chave
