OBJECTIVE: To investigate the protective effect of colchicine against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (I/R) and explore the underlying mechanism.
METHODS: H9C2 cells exposed to hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) were treated with 3 nmol/L colchicine, after which the changes in cell viability were assessed using MTT assay, and AMPK phosphorylation, the expressions of NOX4, NRF2, SOD2, BAX, Bcl-2, and cleaved caspase-3 were detected with Western blotting. Male C57BL/6 mice were randomized into sham operation, I/R, I/R+colchicine, and I/R+colchicine+dorsomorphin (DSMP) groups. After the treatments, myocardial expressions of p-AMPK/AMPK, 8-OHdG, cleaved caspase-3, mitochondrial BAX (Mito-BAX), and cytoplasmic cytochrome C (Cyt-Cyto C) were examined and cardiac functions, infarct area, ATP content, and serum levels of lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) and cardiac troponin T (cTnT) levels were assessed.
RESULTS: In H9C2 cells, H/R exposure significantly reduced AMPK phosphorylation and expressions of NRF2, SOD2, and Bcl-2, lowered cell viability, and up-regulated the expressions of NOX4, BAX, and cleaved caspase-3 ( P < 0.05), and these changes were obviously alleviated by colchicine treatment ( P < 0.05). In the mouse models, myocardial I/R injury significantly reduced myocardial AMPK phosphorylation level, ATP content, and expressions of NRF2, SOD2 and Bcl-2, caused cardiac function impairment, enhanced NOX4, Mito-BAX, Cyt-Cyto C, BAX, 8-OHdG, and cleaved caspase-3 expressions, and increased infarct area and serum LDH and cTnT levels ( P < 0.05). Colchicine treatment significantly reversed the damaging effects of I/R ( P < 0.05), but its protective effects was obviously antagonized by DSMP ( P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION: Colchicine alleviates myocardial I/R injury and protects cardiac function in mice by reducing myocardial oxidative stress and apoptosis via activating AMPK.
