Abstract
Objective To explore the effect of CGRP on autophagy regulation through ALKBH5/m6A in hypoxia/reoxygenation-induced cardiomyocyte proliferation and apoptosis.Methods H9c2 cardiomyocytes were randomly divided into Control group(H9c2 cells cultured in normal culture medium),H/R group(preparation of hypoxia/reoxygenation-induced H9c2 cell injury model),CGRP group(1 × 10-1 mol/L CGRP added before hypoxia/reoxygenation for 20 min),and CGRP+sh-ALKBH5 group(sh-ALKBH5 transfected into H9c2 cells,cultured for 24 h,followed by the addition of 1×10-1 mol/L CGRP for 20 min,and then preparation of hypoxia/reoxygenation model).CCK-8 and EdU staining were used to detect cell viability of H9c2 cells;flow cytometry was used to measure cell apoptosis rate;lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)activity was measured in cardiomyocytes;Dot blot was performed to measure m6A methylation levels;protein immunoblotting and RT-PCR were performed to measure the expression of ALKBH5,Beclin-1,p62,LC3 Ⅱ,LC3I proteins,and mRNA in cells.Results Compared with the Control group,the H/R group showed significantly decreased cell survival rate(46.27%±4.09%),EdU positive cell rate(3.89%± 0.87%),and increased cell apoptosis rate(13.62%±1.27%),LDH concentration(276.32%±25.14%),and m6A relative expression level(2.46%±0.18%)(P<0.05).Compared with the H/R group,the CGRP group exhibited significantly increased cell survival rate(87.31%±6.24%),EdU positive cell rate(40.71%±2.53%),and decreased cell apoptosis rate(3.17%±0.82%),LDH concentration(78.24%±7.19%),and m6A relative expression level(1.42%±0.13%)(P<0.05).The cell survival rate(61.04%±5.48%)and EdU positive cell rate(8.76%±1.24%)in the CGRP+sh-ALKBH5 group were significantly lower than those in the CGRP group,while the cell apoptosis rate(10.19±0.95%),LDH concentration(229.06±22.43%),and m6A relative expression level(2.09±0.15%)were significantly higher than those in the CGRP group(P<0.05).Compared with the Control group,the ALKBH5 protein(0.34±0.03),p62 protein(0.32±0.04),and mRNA expression(0.21±0.04)in the H/R group were significantly reduced,while Beclin-1 protein(0.97±0.13),mRNA expression(2.14±0.17),and LC3 Ⅱ/LC3I ratio(0.64±0.08)were significantly increased(P<0.05).Compared with the H/R group,the CGRP group showed significantly increased ALKBH5 protein(0.78±0.09),p62 protein(0.71±0.08),and mRNA expression(0.87± 0.08),while Beclin-1 protein(0.41±0.06),mRNA expression(1.26±0.12),and LC3 Ⅱ/LC3I ratio(0.23±0.03)were significantly decreased(P<0.05).Compared with the CGRP group,the CGRP+sh-ALKBH5 group exhibited significantly decreased ALKBH5 protein(0.50±0.07),p62 protein(0.40±0.05),and mRNA expression(0.30± 0.05),while Beclin-1 protein(0.86±0.10),mRNA expression(1.95±0.14),and LC3 Ⅱ/LC3I ratio(0.58±0.06)were significantly increased(P<0.05).Conclusion CGRP can inhibit hypoxia/reoxygenation-induced autophagy and apoptosis in myocardial cells,increase cell survival rate,and its mechanism of action may be related to the promotion of m6A demethylase ALKBH5 expression.
