Abstract:Sodium tanshinone IIA sulfonate (STS), which is extracted from a Chinese medicinal herb, possesses many pharmacologic functions, such as coronary dilation, anti-inflammatory properties, and antiapoptotic and antioxidant effects. It remains unknown whether STS can protect cardiomyocytes injured after radiation therapy. An in vitro Sprague-Dawley (SD) rat neonatal cardiomyocyte system was established. Primary cardiomyocytes (PCMs) from neonatal SD rats were isolated under sterile conditions. PCM cells were divid… Show more
