Abstract:
Over-activated NADPH oxidase and endothelin(ET)system are the main mechanism of cardiomyocytes dysfunction.This research mainly focuses on the hypothesis that CPU0213 attenuates cardiomyocytes dysfunction by inhibiting the over-expression of ET-NADPH oxidase.Cardiomyocytes were divided into groups:control, H
2O
2 group, H89/Bis, APO/DPI, CPU0213 group.The expression of FKBP12.6, SERCA2a and CASQ2 were down-regulated and pPKCε/PKCε,NADPH oxidase and ET
AR/ET
BR were up-regulated in H
2O
2 treated group,which implyed the involvement of PKCε.Endothelin receptor antagonist CPU0213 attenuated the abnormal expression of FKBP12.6, SERCA2a and CASQ2 by inhibiting pPKC-NADPH pathway.
