摘要
Myocardial hypoxia reperfusion (H/R) injury is the paradoxical exacerbation of myocardial damage, caused by the sudden restoration of blood flow to hypoxia affected myocardium. It is a critical contributor of acute myocardial infarction, which can lead to cardiac failure. Despite the current pharmacological advancements, clinical translation of cardioprotective therapies have proven challenging. As a result, researchers are looking for alternative approaches to counter the disease. In this regard, nanotechnology, with its versatile applications in biology and medicine, can confer broad prospects for treatment of myocardial H/R injury. Herein, we attempted to explore whether a well-established pro-angiogenic nanoparticle, terbium hydroxide nanorods (THNR) can ameliorate myocardial H/R injury. For this study, in vitro H/R-injury model was established in rat cardiomyocytes (H9c2 cells). Our investigations demonstrated that THNR enhance cardiomyocyte survival against H/R-induced cell death. This pro-survival effect of THNR is associated with reduction of oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation, calcium overload, restoration of cytoskeletal integrity and mitochondrial membrane potential as well as augmentation of cellular anti-oxidant enzymes such as glutathione-s-transferase (GST) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) to counter H/R injury. Molecular analysis revealed that the above observations are traceable to the predominant activation of PI3K-AKT-mTOR and ERK-MEK signalling pathways by THNR. Concurrently, THNR also exhibit apoptosis inhibitory effects mainly by suppression of pro-apoptotic proteins like Cytochrome C, Caspase 3, Bax and p53 with simultaneous restoration of anti-apoptotic protein, Bcl-2 and Survivin. Thus, considering the above attributes, we firmly believe that THNR have the potential to be developed as an alternative approach for amelioration of H/R injury in cardiomyocytes.
