摘要
The relationship between mitochondrial dysfunction and cardiovascular disease pathogenesis is well recognized. 7,8-Dihydroxyflavone (7,8-DHF), a mimetic of brain-derived neurotrophic factor, inhibits mitochondrial impairments and improves cardiac function. However, the regulatory role of 7,8-DHF in the mitochondrial function of cardiomyocytes is not fully understood. To investigate the potential mito-protective effects of 7,8-DHF in cardiomyocytes, we treated H9c2 or HL-1 cells with the mitochondrial respiratory complex I inhibitor rotenone (Rot) as an in vitro model of mitochondrial dysfunction. We found that 7,8-DHF effectively eliminated various concentrations of Rot-induced cell death and reduced lactate dehydrogenase release. 7,8-DHF significantly improved mitochondrial membrane potential and inhibited mitochondrial reactive oxygen species. Moreover, 7,8-DHF decreased routine and leak respiration, restored protein levels of mitochondrial complex I-IV, and increased ATP production in Rot-treated H9c2 cells. The protective role of 7,8-DHF in Rot-induced damage was validated in HL-1 cells. Nuclear phosphorylation protein expression of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) was significantly increased by 7,8-DHF. The present study suggests that 7,8-DHF rescues Rot-induced cytotoxicity by inhibiting mitochondrial dysfunction and promoting nuclear translocation of p-STAT3 in cardiomyocytes, thus nominating 7,8-DHF as a new pharmacological candidate agent against mitochondrial dysfunction in cardiac diseases.
