Role of RIP140 and PGC-1αin angiotensin Ⅱ mediated energy metabolism in cardiomyocytes / 中国药理学通报

ABSTRACT

Aim To investigate the role of transcrip-tional cofactors receptor interacting protein 140 ( RIP140 ) and peroxisome proliferator-activated recep-tor γ coactivator-1α ( PGC-1α) in the angiotensin Ⅱ( AngⅡ) mediated energy metabolism regulation in cardiomyocytes. Methods RIP140 or PGC-1α was overexpressed via adenovirus vector system. ATP con-tents were detected by luminescence detection assay system. Real-time PCR and Western blot analysis were used to measure the expressions of RIP140 and PGC-1α genes. Results After treated with 100 nmol·L-1 AngⅡfor 36h in neonatal cardiomyocytes, the content of mitochondrial ATP was reduced notably ( P <0. 01). Accordingly, the mRNA and protein levels for RIP140 were increased. However, the mRNA and pro-tein levels of PGC-1α were downregulated markedly. What’ s more,the reduction of ATP induced by AngⅡwas further aggravated by RIP 1 4 0 overexpression , but ameliorated by overexpressing PGC-1α. Conclusion The reduction of ATP mediated by AngⅡis associated with the upregulation of RIP140 , as well as the down-regulation of PGC-1α.
