Effect of Stachydrine on Hypoxia/Reoxygenation Induced Cardiomyocyte Pyroptosis by Regulating the HIF-1α/NLRP3 Signaling Pathway
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of stachydrine(STA)on hypoxia inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α)/NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 3(NLRP3)signaling pathway in hypoxia/reoxygenation(H/R)induced cardiomyo-cyte pyroptosis model.METHODS H9C2 cardiomyocytes were separated into control group(Control group),model group(H/R group),H/R+low concentration STA group(H/R+STA-L group,5 μmol·L-1),H/R+medium concentration STA group(H/R+STA-M group,10 μmol·L-1),H/R+high concentration STA group(H/R+STA-H group,20 μmol·L-1),H/R+high concentration STA(20 μmol·L-1)+HIF-1α activator group[H/R+STA-H+dimethyloxaloglycine(DMOG)group,20 μmol·L-1 STA+10 μmol·L-1 DMOG].H9C2 cell viability was tested by cell counting kit-8(CCK-8)assay.H9C2 cell apoptosis was meas-ured by flow cytometry.The levels of IL-1β,IL-18,and LDH in cells were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).The expression levels of IL-1β,IL-18,Caspase-1,HIF-1α,and NLRP3 were quantified using Western blot.RESULTS Compared with the control group,the cell survival rate of the H/R group decreased(P<0.05),the positive expression rate of Caspase-1,levels of IL-1β,IL-18,LDH,and protein expression of Caspase-1,IL-1β,IL-18,HIF-1α,and NLRP3 increased(P<0.05).Compared with the H/R group,the cell survival rates of the H/R+STA-L group,H/R+STA-M group and H/R+STA-H group increased,the positive expression rate of Caspase-1,levels of IL-1β,IL-18,LDH,and protein expression of Caspase-1,IL-1β,IL-18,HIF-1α,and NLRP3 reduced(P<0.05).Compared with the H/R+STA-H group,the cell survival rate of the H/R+STA-H+DMOG group obvi-ously reduced(P<0.05),the positive expression rate of Caspase-1,levels of IL-1β,IL-18,LDH,and protein expression of Caspase-1,IL-1β,IL-18,HIF-1α,and NLRP3 obviously increased(P<0.05).CONCLUSION STA can inhibit H/R induced cardiomyocyte pyroptosis,and its mechanism may be related to the HIF-1α/NLRP3 signaling pathway.
