The water extract of Omija protects H9c2 cardiomyoblast cells from hydrogen peroxide through prevention of mitochondrial dysfunction and activation of caspases pathway

Abstract: The water extract of Omija (Omija) has been used traditionally in the treatment of ischemic damage of the heart and brain tissues. However, little is known about the mechanism by which it rescues myocardial cells from oxidative stress. This study was designed to investigate the protective mechanisms

“…As one of the key effectors, caspase-3 is initiated by caspase-9 and involved in the mitochondria-mediated pathway. Previous studies have shown that oxidative stress induced the activation of caspase-9 and caspase-3 in cell lines [Park et al, 2007]. Consistent with these results, we demonstrated that the induction of apoptosis induced by A/R was accompanied by an increase of caspase-9 and caspase-3 activities.…”

“…The antioxidant activity of many extracts and constituents from medicinal herbs has been widely documented in vivo and in vitro (Park et al, 2007;Piccinelli et al, 2004;Shao et al, 2001). Allium chinense G. Don (Liliaceae), one of the original plants of a famous Chinese crude drug 'Xiebai', has been used routinely in some traditional Chinese preparations for the treatment of stenocardia, arteriosclerosis, so-called stagnant blood (Peng et al, 1996a).…”

“…H9c2 is a clonal cell line derived from embryonic rat heart tissue (Kimes and Brandt, 1976) and exhibits many of the properties of cardiac muscle, including electrophysiology, ion channels and receptors (Fujita et al, 2006). Despite not being fully differentiated, H9c2 cells have been used frequently as a model of cardiac cells in several studies (Kim et al, 2006;Park et al, 2007).…”
