3-Bromo-4,5-Dihydroxybenzaldehyde Protects Against Myocardial Ischemia and Reperfusion Injury Through the Akt-PGC1α-Sirt3 Pathway

Abstract

Natural marine products are useful candidates for the treatment of oxidative and inflammatory diseases, including myocardial ischemia. 3-bromo-4,5 - dihydroxybenzaldehyde (BDB), a natural bromophenol isolated from marine red algae, has been shown to display anti-microbial, anti-oxidative, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and free radical scavenging activities. In this study, the potential protective effects of BDB against myocardial ischemia and reperfusion (IR) injury was investigated in an in vitro model mimicked by oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD) in cardiomyocytes and in an in vivo model induced by coronary artery ligation in rats. The results showed that BDB attenuated the OGD-induced cytotoxicity in a dose-dependent manner, with no toxic effect when treated alone. BDB significantly decreased apoptosis and the cleavage of caspase-3 after OGD. We found that OGD-induced oxidative stress, as evidenced by increases of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxidation, as well as mitochondrial dysfunction, as measured by mitochondrial reporter gene, cytochrome c release and ATP synthesis, were markedly attenuated by BDB treatment. In addition, BDB increased the enzymatic activities of mitochondrial antioxidant enzymes, including IDH2, GSH-Px and SOD2. Western blot analysis showed that BDB increased Akt phosphorylation and upregulated the expression of Sirt3 and PGC1α after OGD. Furthermore, BDB-induced protection in cardiomyocytes was partially reversed by the Akt inhibitor and downregulation of PGC1α. BDB also attenuated myocardial contractile dysfunction and activated the Akt-PGC1α-Sirt3 pathway in vivo. All these data suggest that BDB protects against myocardial IR injury through activating the Akt-PGC1α-Sirt3 pathway.

“…On the other side, increasing evidence demonstrated that bilobalide has significant effects on hypoxia-induced injury [26,27]. Our study employed OGD-stimulated H9c2 cells to build up MI cell The cardiomyocytes cells stimulated by OGD was often used to mimicked MI injury in vitro [28]. Our study employed OGD to induce H9c2 cell injury to build up in vitro MI cell mold.…”

Trilobatin Protects Against Aβ25–35-Induced Hippocampal HT22 Cells Apoptosis Through Mediating ROS/p38/Caspase 3-Dependent Pathway

“…Notably, the silent information regulator 2 (Sir2) family is mechanically crucial in neurons upon oxidative stress (Liu et al, 2018). Sirtuin3 (Sirt3) is a vital deacetylase among the seven subtypes of SIR2 family, which has ability of scavenging ROS and elevating antioxidant enzyme activities (Qin et al, 2018). Interestingly, a recent study has shown that Sirt3 is abundant in the brain, and it might be a mediator that connects Ab .…”

“…Further studies showed that 5.1 reduced CD68 + macrophages, M1 and M2 macrophages infiltration, inhibited the phosphorylation of NF-κB, suppressed the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the injured hearts, and finally, improved cardiac function recovery [ 103 ]. This anti-inflammatory activity of 5.1 suppressed the inflammatory factors in myocardial ischemia and reperfusion, and showed myocardial protection via the Akt-PGC1a-Sirt3 pathway [ 104 ].…”
