Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) threatens global health and lowers people’s sense of happiness. Till now, the mechanism of MIRI has not been well-understood. Therefore, this study was designed to explore the role of UBIAD1 in MIRI as well as its detailed reaction mechanism.
Methods
The mRNA and protein expressions of UBIAD1 before or after transfection were measured using RT-qPCR and western blot. Western blot was also adopted to measure the expressions of signaling pathway-, mitochondrial damage- and apoptosis-related proteins. Moreover, mitochondrial membrane potential and ATP level were verified by JC-1 immunofluorescence and ATP kits, respectively. With the application of CCK-8, LDH and CK-MB assays, the cell viability, LDH and CK-MB levels were evaluated, respectively. In addition, the cell apoptosis was detected using TUNEL. Finally, the expressions of ROS, SOD, MDA and CAT were measured using DCFH-DA, SOD, MDA and CAT assays, respectively.
Results
In the present study, we found that UBIAD1 was downregulated in hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R) -induced H9C2 cells and its upregulation could activate SIRT1/PGC1α signaling pathway. It was also found that UBIAD1 regulated mitochondrial membrane potential and ATP level via activating SIRT1/PGC1α signaling pathway. In addition, the injury of H/R-induced H9C2 cells could be relieved by UBIAD1 through the activation of SIRT1/PGC1α signaling pathway. Moreover, UBIAD1 exhibited inhibitory effects on apoptosis and oxidative stress of H/R-induced H9C2 cells through activating SIRT1/PGC1α signaling pathway.
Conclusion
To sum up, UBIAD1 could alleviate apoptosis, oxidative stress and H9C2 cell injury by activating SIRT1/PGC1α, which laid experimental foundation for the clinical treatment of MIRI.
