Objective: To observe effect of oxymatrine (OMT) on expression of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) in cardiomyocytes induced by aldosterone (ALD). Method: Pancreatic enzyme digestion method was used to extract caridac myocytes and purity of cultured caridac myocytes was evaluated by immunocytochemistry.Cardiac myocytes were pre-incubated with oxymatrine of high-does and low-does for 1 h
and then exposed to ALD for 24 h.Cell injury was evaluated by MTT assay and LDH leakage.Protein expression of ERK1/2 and phosphorylation-ERK1/2 (p-ERK1/2) was detected by Western blot and ERK mRNA was detected by real time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Result: After co-incubation with OMT could enhance MTT volume and decrease LDH activity in medium induced by ALD
there was significant difference by comparing with model group.Meanwhile
expression of p-ERK1/2 was significantly down-regulated after co-incubation with OMT. Conclusion: OMT has an protective effect on caridac myocytes induced by ALD
its mechanism may be related to inhibition of p-ERK1/2.
