Role of Met/HGF signal pathway on inhibiting autophagy in ischemia-reperfusion induced cardiomyocytes injury / 安徽医科大学学报

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of autophagy inhibited by Met/HGF passway in alleviating myocardial ischemia and reperfusion injury.Methods Lsolated cardiomyocytes of rats were divided into 5 groupscontrol group,ischemia and reperfusion (IR) group,Met-transfection group,Met siRNA-transfection group,Met-transfection and HGF activator group.Over or less expressions of Met were controlled by the method of transfection.Cell proteins were extracted after IR injury.The expression of cell protein such as met,HGF,AMPK,PI3K,autophagy-related protein LC3B,Beclin-1 and apoptosis-related protein Bcl-2 were detected by Western blot.Results Compared with control group,Western blot results showed that the expression of AMPK and PI3K increased significantly by the method of over expression of Met and activation of HGF,the expression of autophagy-related protein LC3B and Beclin-1 decreased significantly at the same time.However,it showed an opposite trend in IR group and Met siRNA-transfection group.Conclusion Activation of the Met/HGF signal pathway inhibits autophagy and attenuates myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury.
