Linarin could protect myocardial tissue from the injury of Ischemia-reperfusion through activating Nrf-2.

OBJECTIVES: As we all know, oxidative stress was one of the most important causes of ischemia-reperfusion injury. And it was reported that Nrf-2 as an important regulator for oxidative stress could be activated by Linarin. Thus it would be interesting to find whether Linarin could inhibit ischemia-reperfusion injury through activating Nrf-2.

METHODS: In this study, cell activity was detected by MTT assay and caspase-3 activity detection kit. And the expressions or activities of some signal proteins were evaluated by western-blot or activity detection kits. At last, the effect and mechanism of Linarin on heart tissues were verified in the ischemia-reperfusion model of isolated hearts.

RESULTS: The proliferation activity of cell was inhibited while the apoptosis rate was increased after hypoxia-reoxygenation. However, Linarin could inhibit these two variations. It was found that these effects of Linarin were related with the activation of Nrf-2 through PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Meanwhile, the anti-oxidative enzymes, regulated by Nrf-2, were enhanced to against the oxidative stress caused by hypoxia-reoxygenation. And with the inhibition of oxidative stress, some proliferation and apoptosis related proteins such as NF-kB and Cytochrome C were adjusted to support the viability of cells. At last, these results were verified in the ischemia reperfusion experiment of isolated hearts.

CONCLUSIONS: From this study, we assured that LIN could protect myocardial tissue from ischemia-reperfusion through activating Nrf-2.
