The Protective Effects Of Grape Seed Procyanidin B2 Against Asporin Mediates Glycated Low-Density Lipoprotein Induced-Cardiomyocyte Apoptosis And Fibrosis
CELL BIOLOGY INTERNATIONAL(2020)
摘要
The progression of diabetic cardiomyopathy is related to cardiomyocyte dysfunction and apoptosis. Our previous studies showed that asporin (ASPN) was significantly increased in the myocardium of db/db mice through proteomics, and grape seed procyanidin B2 (GSPB2) significantly inhibited the expression of ASPN in the heart of db/ db mice. We report here that ASPN played a critical role in glycated low-density lipoproteins (gly-LDL) induced-cardiomyocyte apoptosis. We found that gly-LDL upregulated ASPN expression. ASPN increased H9C2 cardiomyocyte apoptosis with down-regulation of Bcl-2, upregulation of transforming growth factor-beta 1, Bax, collagen III, fibronectin, and phosphorylation of smad2 and smad3. However, GSPB2 treatment reversed ASPN-induced impairments in H9C2 cardiomyocytes. These results provide evidence for the cardioprotective action of GSPB2 against ASPN injury, and thus suggest a new target for fighting against diabetic cardiomyopathy.
