人参皂苷Rb1对H_2O_2诱导新生大鼠心肌细胞凋亡的保护作用

目的观察人参皂苷Rb1对H2O2诱导的新生大鼠心肌细胞凋亡的保护作用,并探讨其可能作用机制。方法在培养的新生大鼠心肌细胞上建立H2O2损伤模型,观察不同剂量组人参皂苷Rb1(20、40、80mg·L-1)对心肌细胞凋亡率、丙二醛(MDA)含量,超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性,以及细胞内钙离子变化的影响。结果不同剂量组人参皂苷Rb1可以减少心肌细胞凋亡率、降低MDA含量、增加SOD活性、减少细胞内钙超载。结论人参皂苷Rb1可以抑制H2O2引起的新生大鼠心肌细胞凋亡,其作用机制可能与其抗脂质氧化和减少细胞内钙超载有关。

Protective effect of ginsenoside Rb1 against H2O2-induced apoptosis in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes

Aim To investigate the protective effect of ginsenoside Rb1 against apoptosis induced by H_2O_2. Methods H_2O_2 was used to build an oxidative stress-induced injury model in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes. After treated with gensenoside Rb1(20, 40, 80 mg·L -1),the apoptosis rate, the content of malondialdehyde (MDA), and the activity of superoxide dimutase (SOD) of the cardiomyocytes were examined. The intracellular calcium indicated by the fluorescence in cells were measured by the laser confocal microscope. Results Compared with the model group, the apoptosis rate and the content of MDA of the cardiomyocytes decreased greatly (P<0.05),and the activity of SOD increased distinctly(P<0.05) after treated by ginsenoside Rb1(20,40,80 mg·L -1). Conclusion Ginsenoside Rb1 can inhibit the apoptosis induced by H_2O_2 in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes. The protective mechanism could be related to its ability to reduce lipid pexosidation and the calcium accumulation of the cardiac cells.
