ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (I/RI) is a major cause of perioperative cardiac-related adverse events and death. Studies have shown that sevoflurane postconditioning (SpostC), which attenuates I/R injury and exerts cardioprotective effects, regulates mitochondrial dynamic balance via HIF-1α, but the exact mechanism is unknown. This study investigates whether the PI3K/AKT pathway in SpostC regulates mitochondrial dynamic balance by mediating HIF-1α, thereby exerting myocardial protective effects.METHODS:
The H9C2 cardiomyocytes were cultured to establish the hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R) model and randomly divided into 4 groups Control group, H/R group, sevoflurane postconditioning (H/R + SpostC) group and PI3K/AKT blocker (H/R + SpostC + LY) group. Cell survival rate was determined by CCK-8; Apoptosis rate was determined by flow cytometry; mitochondrial membrane potential was evaluated by Mito Tracker™ Red; mRNA expression levels of AKT, HIF-1α, Opa1and Drp1 were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR); Western Blot assay was used to detect the protein expression levels of AKT, phosphorylated AKT (p-AKT), HIF-1α, Opa1 and Drp1.RESULTS:
Compared with the H/R group, the survival rate of cardiomyocytes in the H/R + SpostC group increased, the apoptosis rate decreased and the mitochondrial membrane potential increased. qRT-PCR showed that the mRNA expression of HIF-1α and Opa1 were higher in the H/R + SpostC group compared with the H/R group, whereas the transcription level of Drp1 was lower in the H/R + SpostC group. In the H/R + SpostC + LY group, the mRNA expression of HIF-1α was lower than the H/R + SpostC group. There was no difference in the expression of Opa1 mRNA between the H/R group and the H/R + SpostC + LY group. WB assay results showed that compared with the H/R group, the protein expression levels of HIF-1α, Opa1, P-AKT were increased and Drp1 protein expression levels were decreased in the H/R + SpostC group. HIF-1α, P-AKT protein expression levels were decreased in the H/R + SpostC + LY group compared to the H/R + SpostC group.CONCLUSION:
SpostC mediates HIF-1α-regulated mitochondrial fission and fusion-related protein expression to maintain mitochondrial dynamic balance by activating the PI3K/AKT pathway and increasing AKT phosphorylation, thereby attenuating myocardial I/R injury.
