ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effects of Xinshuai mixture on mitochondrial function of hypertrophy cardiomyocyte cell in vitro.Methods The primary neonatal rat myocardial cells were cultured to establish hypertrophic myocardial model by AngII.The levels of superoxide dismutase(SOD), methane dicarboxylic aldehyde (MDA), monoamine oxidase(MAO) and cyclooxygenase (COX) were detected by ELISA, as the mitochondrial function and oxidative stress damage.The expression level of caspase-3 mRNA was detected by Real-time PCR.Results Compared with control group, the SOD level in model group reduced markedly, MDA level increased significantly, the activities of MAO increased, the activities of COX decreased, the expression of caspase-3 level increased significantly(P<0.01).Compared with the model group, the SOD level increased and MDA level decreased in Xinshuai mixture group and blank serum group.But the SOD level and activities of MAO, COX in Xinshuai mixture group and blank serum group had significant difference(P<0.05,P<0.01).The expression of caspase-3 mRNA level in Xinshuai mixture was significantly higher than the blank serum group(P<0.01).Conclusion Xinshuai mixture could significantly improve the fuction of mitochondrial in hypertrophy cardiomyocyte cell, reduce the energy metabolism and oxidative stress injury, and protect cardiac myocyte through lower the expression of caspase-3.
