“…JNK, a member of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family, has been suggested to have ananti-apoptosis effect on reactive oxygen species (ROS) and ischemia-induced apoptosis [37,38]. We found that phosphorylation of JNK and p38MAPK were significantly increased after AMI.…”

Background/Aims: Researches have showed that cardiac shock wave therapy (CSWT) could improve left ventricular function and attenuate LV remodeling of the ischemic heart. Apoptosis plays an important role in myocardial infarction and determines heart function and prognosis. However, it is still not clear whether CSWT is sufficient to attenuate acute myocardial infarction (AMI) induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis in vivo. In this study, we used a rat model to examine whether CSWT could attenuate cardiomyocyte apoptosis after AMI and to explore potential mechanisms. Methods: We generated an AMI rat model to investigate the function and possible regulatory mechanisms of CSWT. All rats were randomly divided into four groups: the sham-operated only group, sham-operated with SW treatment group, AMI only group, and AMI treated with SW treatment group.The rats were treated with a left anterior descending coronary artery ligation for 12h and then treated with or without CSWT (800 shots at 0.1 mJ/ mm²). Cytochrome c release was measured to analyze mitochondrial function and integrity. The apoptotic cell rate was determined by TUNEL assay. Western blot was used to analyze the cell apoptosis-, inflammation-, and survival-related signaling pathways. Results: First, the methodology of CSWT in the rat model of AMI was established. Second, CSWT attenuated the cardiomyocyte apoptosis rate in the infarct border zone. Third, CSWT suppressed the expression of apoptosis and inflammation molecules after AMI. Fourth, CSWT inhibited activation of the JNK pathway, which indicated inhibition of the cell inflammatory pathways and promotion of cardiomyocyte survival after AMI. Conclusion: These results indicate that CSWT exerts a protective effect against AMI-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis, potentially by attenuating cytochrome c release from the mitochondria and inhibiting of the mitochondrial-dependent intrinsic apoptotic pathway. We also demonstrate that CSWT suppresses the JNK pathway and cardiomyocyte inflammation, which may also decrease cardiomyocyte apoptosis in vivo.

Apoptosis of lymphocytes is associated with immunosuppression and poor prognosis in sepsis. Our previous report showed that histones, nuclear proteins released from damaged or dying cells in sepsis, can mediate lymphocyte apoptosis via mitochondria damage. Grape seed proanthocyanidin extract (GSPE), a natural substance with protective properties against oxidative stress, plays a vital role in cell and mitochondria protection. We thus hypothesized that GSPE may play a protective role in histone-induced lymphocyte apoptosis through its anti-oxidative properties. In this study, we investigated the protective efficacy of GSPE on lymphocyte apoptosis induced by extracellular histones, a main contributor of death in sepsis. Human blood lymphocytes were treated with 50 μg/ml histones, 2 μg/ml GSPE, or a combination of both. A total of 100 μM N-acetylcysteine (NAC), a reactive oxygen species (ROS) inhibitor, was used as a positive control for GSPE. Apoptosis, intracellular ROS levels, mitochondrial membrane potential, Bcl-2 expression, and caspase-3 cleavage were measured. Our data clearly indicate that GSPE significantly inhibited lymphocyte apoptosis, generation of ROS, the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, the decrease in Bcl-2 expression, and caspase-3 activation induced by extracellular histones. In conclusion, we show that GSPE has a protective effect on lymphocyte apoptosis induced by extracellular histones. This study suggests GSPE as a potential therapeutic agent that could help reduce lymphocyte apoptosis, and thus the state of immunosuppression was observed in septic patients.

Background/Aims: Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury is a major cause of morbidity and mortality associated with coronary heart disease. Many studies have demonstrated that natural products are promising chemotherapeutic drugs counteracting the loss of cardiomyocytes. Thus, the purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of geniposide, a traditional Chinese herb extract from Gardenia jasminoides J. Ellis, on cardiomyocyte apoptosis induced by hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) in H9c2 cells, and their underlying mechanisms. Methods: Cell viability and apoptosis ratio were assessed using the cell counting kit-8 assay and Annexin V/propidium iodide (PI) staining. The concentrations of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), intracellular total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD), and malondialdehyde (MDA) were detected by microplate reader. The production of reactive oxygen species/reactive nitrogen species (ROS/RNS), the level of mitochondrial calcium, and mitochondrial membrane potential depolarization were measured by confocal laser scanning microscopy. Mitochondrial morphology was visualized using transmission electron microscopy. The expressions of Bcl-2 mRNA and Caspase-3 mRNA were measured by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The protein levels of cleaved caspase-3, Bcl-2, Bax, AKT, p-AKT^serine473, cytochrome-c were detected by western bloting. Results: Geniposide pretreatment increased cell viability, decreased LDH levels in the supernatant, and inhibited cardiomyocyte apoptosis caused by H/R. Furthermore, geniposide reversed mitochondrial dysfunction by decreasing oxidative stress products (ROS/RNS and MDA), increasing anti-oxidative enzyme (T-SOD) level, improving mitochondrial morphology, attenuating mitochondrial calcium overload and blunting depolarization of mitochondrial membrane. Moreover, geniposide pretreatment increased Bcl-2 level and decreased Bax level, thus enhancing the Bcl-2/Bax ratio. Consistent with the above result, Bcl-2 mRNA expression was upregulated and caspase-3 mRNA expression was downregulated by geniposide. In addition, geniposide decreased the protein expression of cleaved caspase-3 and cytochrome-c and increased the level p-AKT^serine473. The protective effects of geniposide were partially reversed by glucagon-like pepitide-1 receptor antagonist exendin-(9-39) and the phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (PI3K) inhibitor LY294002. Conclusions: Our results suggest that geniposide pretreatment inhibits H/R-induced myocardial apoptosis by reversing mitochondrial dysfunction, an effect in part due to activation of GLP-1R and PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.
