Aim. To investigate the effect of Ginsenoside Rb1 (GS-Rb1) on hypoxia/ischemia (H/I) injury in cardiomyocytesin vitroand the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway mediated mechanism.Methods. Neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (NRCMs) for the H/I groups were kept in DMEM without glucose and serum, and were placed into a hypoxic jar for 24 h. GS-Rb1 at concentrations from 2.5 to 40 µM was given during hypoxic period for 24 h. NRCMs injury was determined by MTT and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) leakage assay. Cell apoptosis, ROS accumulation, and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) were assessed by flow cytometry. Cytosolic translocation of mitochondrial cytochrome c and Bcl-2 family proteins were determined by Western blot. Caspase-3 and caspase-9 activities were determined by the assay kit.Results. GS-Rb1 significantly reduced cell death and LDH leakage induced by H/I. It also reduced H/I induced NRCMs apoptosis induced by H/I, in accordance with a minimal reactive oxygen species (ROS) burst. Moreover, GS-Rb1 markedly decreased the translocation of cytochrome c from the mitochondria to the cytosol, increased the Bcl-2/ Bax ratio, and preserved mitochondrial transmembrane potential (ΔΨm). Its administration also inhibited activities of caspase-9 and caspase-3.Conclusion. Administration of GS-Rb1 during H/Iin vitrois involved in cardioprotection by inhibiting apoptosis, which may be due to inhibition of the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway.

Backgroud/Aims: The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of beta1-adrenergic receptors (β1-ARs) -mediated nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)-heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1)-high mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1) axis regulation in hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R)-induced neonatal rat cardiomyocytes. Methods: The neonatal cultured cardiomyocytes were concentration-dependently pretreated by dobutamine (DOB), a selective β1-adrenergic receptor agonist, in the absence and/or presence of LY294002 (a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor), SB203580 (a p38mitogen-activated-protein kinase (p38MAPK) inhibitor), Nrf2siRNA and HO-1siRNA, respectively, and then treated by H/R. The effects and mechanisms by which H/R-induced cardiomyocytes injury were evaluated. Results: Significant increase of HO-1 was found in neonatal cultured cardiomyocytes treated with DOB, when compared to the control group. Significant change for Nrf2 translocation was also revealed in neonatal cultured cardiomyocytes treated with DOB. Insignificant decreases of NF-kappaB p65 activation and HMGB1 release were observed in H/R-induced neonatal cultured cardiomyocytes treated with DOB, when compared to the control group. Importantly, DOB treatment significantly increased the cell viability and decreased the levels of LDH and MDA in H/R-induced cardiomyocytes injury. However, DOB failed to increase HO-1, inhibit NF-kappaB p65 activation, prevent HMGB1 release and attenuate H/R-induced cardiomyocytes injury when the cultured cardiomyocytes were pretreated by Nrf2siRNA, HO-1siRNA, PI3K inhibitor (LY294002) and p38MAPK inhibitor (SB203580), respectively. Conclusions: β1-ARs-mediated Nrf2-HO-1-HMGB1 axis regulation plays a critical protective role in H/R-induced neonatal rat cardiomyocytes injury in vitro via PI3K/p38MAPK signaling pathway.
