ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the effect of serum containing sesamin on angiotension II (Ang II)-induced apoptosis in rat cardiomyocytes and the possible mechanisms.METHODS:
H9c2 rat cardiomyocytes were preincubated with serum containing sesamin or blank serum for 12 h, followed by incubation with Ang II for 24 h. Cell viability was assessed by MTT assay and cell apoptosis was evaluated by flow cytometric analysis. Protein expression of BCL-2, BAX, Caspase-3, p47phox and superoxide dismutase (SOD) was determined by Western blot analysis. Levels of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were measured colorimetrically.RESULTS:
Preincubation with serum containing sesamin significantly improved cell viability and suppressed cell apoptosis in H9c2 rat cardiomyocytes exposed to Ang II (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01), with the expression of BAX, Caspase-3 and p47phox protein down-regulated and BCL-2 and SOD protein up-regulated markedly (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). The levels of T-AOC were effectively increased in serum containing sesamin groups, while the levels of intracellular ROS and MDA contents were decreased significantly (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). Control serum had no influence on the above mentioned measurements.CONCLUSION:
Sesamin is capable of suppressing Ang II-induced apoptosis in H9c2 rat cardiomyocytes, which might be derived, at least partly, from amelioration of oxidative stress, regulation of BAX/BCL-2 protein expression and suppression of Caspase-3 protein expression.
