ABSTRACT
Early reperfusion is the most effective and important treatment for acute myocardial infarction. However, reperfusion therapy often leads to a certain degree of myocardial damage. The aim of the present study was to identify the role of klotho, and the molecular mechanism underlying its effects, in myocardial damage using a model of myocardial hypoxia injury. Hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) was used to mimic ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in vitro. The expression and distribution of klotho in H9c2(2-1) cells was observed by fluorogenic scanning, and the apoptotic rate was determined by Annexin V-FITC/propidium iodide dual staining. Cell viability was determined by MTT assay, and caspase-3, cleaved caspase-3, Bcl-2, Bax, heat shock protein (Hsp) 70 and Akt levels were assessed by western blotting. A lactate dehydrogenase test was performed to determine the degree of H9c2(2-1) cell damage. The results revealed that klotho was primarily located in the cytoplasm of H9c2(2-1) cells. Klotho overexpression markedly suppressed H/R-induced H9c2(2-1) cell apoptosis. Furthermore, cell viability increased, and injury decreased in response to klotho. Klotho also suppressed the activation of caspase-3, upregulated Bcl2 and decreased Bax levels following H/R injury, as well as alleviating H/R injury by upregulating the expression of Hsp70 and increasing the levels of phosphorylated (p-)Akt and Bad. In conclusion, these results indicate that klotho suppressed H/R-induced H9c2(2-1) cell apoptosis by regulating the levels of Hsp70, p-Akt and p-Bad, which suggest that klotho could be a novel agent for the treatment of coronary disease.
