Protective Mechanism of Quercetin on Oxidative Injury in H9C2 Cardiomyocytes
Objective: To preliminarily investigate the protective effects of quercetin on the survival rate of H2O2-induced oxidative injury in H9C2 cardiomyocytes
and such key factors as reactive oxygen species (ROS)
nicotinamide adenosine denucleotide hydro-phosphoric acid(NADPH) oxidase and apoptosis
in order to clarify the underlying mechanism. Method: A model of hydrogen peroxide H2O2-induced H9C2 cells oxidative injury was established in vitro
and divided into the normal group
the model group and the quercetin group. Cell viability was examined with an methylthiazolyldiphenyl-tetrazolium bromide(MTT) assay to determine the available concentrations of H2O2 and quercetin. The effects of quercetin on ROS level and apoptosis rate were detected by 2'
7'-Dichloroflurescin diacetate (DCFH-DA) and flow-cytometry
respectively. We also used Real-time PCR and Western blot to examine the effect of quercetin on oxidative stress and apoptosis mechanism-related molecules (NOX-4
p22phox
Bcl-2
Bax and Caspase-8)genes and protein expression level. Result: Quercetin of 10 μmol·L-1 has significant anti-oxidative and anti-apoptotic effect. Cell survival rate increased obviously in quercetin group compared with H2O2-model group (P<0.05)
ROS level and apoptosis rate significantly decreased (P<0.05
P<0.01). Moreover
quercetin had an up-regulation on PI3K
Bcl-2 and NOX4 (P<0.05) and down-regulation of p22phox
Bax and Caspase-8 (P<0.05). Meanwhile
quercetin can inhibit Bax
p22phox protein expressions (P<0.05)
and up-regulate PI3K
Bcl-2 protein expressions (P<0.05). Conclusion: Quercetin protects H9C2 cells from H2O2-induced oxidative injury and inhibit myocardial cell apoptosis by regulating NOX-4 p22phox
