Intermittent hypoxia attenuates ischemia/reperfusion induced apoptosis in cardiac myocytes via regulating Bcl-2/Bax expression

Abstract: Intermittent hypoxia has been shown to provide myocardial protection against ishemia/reperfusion-induced injury. Cardiac myocyte loss through apoptosis has been reported in ischemia/reperfusion injury. Our aim was to investigate whether intermittent hypoxia could attenuate ischemia/reperfusion-induced apoptosis in cardiac myocytes and its potential mechanisms. Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to hypoxia simulated 5000 m in a hypobaric chamber for 6 h/day, lasting 42 days. Normoxia group rats were ke… Show more

“…5B). Therefore, our findings support previous data suggesting that ischemia and reperfusion induces myocardial cell apoptosis (31,50,51) that is mediated by PKC␦ translocation to the mitochondria and the activation of the apoptotic effectors involving cytochrome c release, caspase 3 activation, PARP cleavage, and DNA fragmentation. …”

“…In addition, it was found that prolonged intermittent hypoxic exposure induces myocardial tolerance against H/R injury in association with an elevation of Bcl-2 protein level through NF-kB activation. This possibility is supported by recent studies that indicated that Bcl-2 overexpression limits apoptosis in I/R injury of heart and liver [28]. It is known that the relationship between p53 and ROS is multifactorial [11,13,18].…”

“…Fluorescence, arbitrary units Bcl-2 and Bcl-xl result in marked disruption of mitochondrial membranes and subsequent cytochrome c release and procaspase-3 activation [28]. In our study, short-term H/R resulted in a remarkable rise in ROS formation as well as in the induction of p53 protein content that was associated with a decrease in Bcl-2 protein level in mitochondria (Fig.…”

“…Similarly, hypoxic pretreatment can also protect other tissues like heart or brain against various toxic insults (Gidday et al 1994;Emerson et al 1999;Cai et al 2003;Dong et al 2003) suggesting that hypoxic preconditioning might induce a general protective response. Such a response might involve hypoxia-inducible-factor 1a which is stabilized in the retina after hypoxic exposure (Grimm et al 2002).…”
