  • The Effects of Calcium Preconditioning on Immature Myocardial Cell Apoptosis and Apoptosisregulated Proteins

    Abstract: Objective To investigate the effects of calcium preconditioning (CP) on immature myocardial cell apoptosis and apoptosisregulated proteins. Methods The experiment was carried out from June 2000 to December 2001 in the Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University. Twelve rabbits with the age of 1421 d and the weight of 230300 g were divided into 2 groups with 6 in each group by random digital table. For rabbits in the ischemia/reperfusion group (I/R group), after Langendorff models were routinely set up, KrebsHenseleit (KH) solution was perfused for 20 minutes and reperfused for 120 minutes after 45 minutes of ischemia. For rabbits in the CP group, after Langendorff models were established, KH solution was perfused for20 minutes, and 45 seconds’ noncalcium KH solution perfusion and 5 minutes’ KH solution perfusion were repeated 3 times before 45 minutes of ischemia and 120 minutes of reperfusion of KH solution. In situ apoptosis identification and semiquantitative analysis were used to detect the myocardial cell apoptosis; agarose gel electrophoresis was used to detect the nucleosomal ladder of DNA fragments; and the expression of bcl-2, bax and fas were detected with Western blot method. Results The apoptosis rate for the CP group was lower than that of the I/R group (4.53%±1.22% vs. 12.30%±2.12%,t=7.780, P=0.000). Nucleosomal ladder of DNA fragments of the CP group was lower than that of the I/R group (OD value: 56 460±1 640 vs. 135 212±3 370,t=51.460,P=0.000). The expression of bcl-2 in the I/R group was lower than that of the CP group (OD value: 13 217±1 770 vs. 31 790±1 018,t=22.280, P=0.000). The expression of bax (OD value: 30 176±1 025 vs. 7 954±730, t=43.260, P=0.000) and fas (OD value: 29 197±1 233 vs. 8 140±867, t=34.220, P=0.000) in the I/R group was higher than that of the CP group. Conclusion CP can affect the expression of myocardial bcl-2, bax, and fas, and decrease immature myocardial cell apoptosis.
