Methods Adult rat cardiomyocytes were isolated and cultured and then divided into 4 groups (n=20 each) by a random number table method: control group (group C), H/R group, pinacidil postconditioning group (group P) and reactive oxygen scavenger N-(2-mercaptopropionyl)-glycine(MPG)+ pinacidil postconditioning group (group MPG+ P). Group C was continuously exposed to 95%O2+ 5%CO2 in an incubator at 37 ℃ for 105 min. The cells were exposed to 5%CO2+ 1%O2+ 94%N2 in an incubator at 37 ℃ for 45 min followed by reoxygenation for 60 min to prepare H/R injury model. The cells were exposed to hypoxia for 45 min and then treated with pinacidil 50 μmol/L for 5 min followed by reoxygenation for 60 min in group P. The cells were exposed to hypoxia for 45 min, treated with MPG 2 mmol/L for 10 min, and then treated with pinacidil for 5 min followed by reoxygenation for 60 min in group MPG+ P. The content of Ca 2+ and activity of Nrf2 in cardiomyocytes were measured at the end of reoxygenation. The ultrastructure of cardiomyocytes was observed, and mitochondrial ultrastructure was evaluated using mitochondrial Flameng score. The expression of Nrf2, superoxide dismutase (SOD1), quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1), and heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) protein and mRNA was detected using Western blot and real-time polymerase chain reaction. Results Compared with group C, the Ca2+ content, Nrf2 activity and mitochondrial Flameng score were significantly increased, the expression of Nrf2, SOD1, NQO1 and HO-1 protein and mRNA was down-regulated (P<0.05), and the damage to the ultrastructure of cardiomyocytes was aggravated in group H/R. Compared with H/R group, the Ca2+ content and mitochondrial Flameng score were significantly decreased, the Nrf2 activity was increased, the expression of Nrf2, SOD1, NQO1 and HO-1 protein and mRNA was up-regulated (P<0.05), and the damage to the ultrastructure of cardiomyocytes was attenuated in P group. Compared with P group, the Ca2+ content and mitochondrial Flameng score were significantly increased, the Nrf2 activity was decreased, the expression of Nrf2, SOD1, NQO1 and HO-1 protein and mRNA was down-regulated (P<0.05), and the damage to the ultrastructure of cardiomyocytes was aggravated in MPG+ P group. Conclusions ROS is involved in attenuation of H/R injury by pinacidil postconditioning, which is associated with activation of the Nrf2-ARE signaling pathway in rat cardiomyocytes.
