Long noncoding RNA SRA1 attenuates hypoxia-induced injury in H9c2 cardiomyocytes through regulating PPARγ/NF-κB signaling pathway.

This study aimed to investigate the effects and mechanisms of long noncoding RNA SRA1 on regulating hypoxia-induced injury in H9c2 cardiomyocytes. The H9c2 cardiomyocytes were cultured under hypoxic (3% O) conditions and whether hypoxia induced injury was assessed by detecting cell viability, apoptosis and autophagy. Then, SRA1 was overexpressed and suppressed in H9c2 cardiomyocytes by transfection with pc-SRA1 and sh-SRA1, and the effects of SRA1 dysregulation on cell viability, apoptosis, and autophagy of H9c2 cardiomyocytes under hypoxia condition were detected.

Recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide regulates PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway through lncRNA EGOT to attenuate hypoxia-induced injury in H9c2 cardiomyocytes.

This study aimed to investigate whether recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide (rhBNP) regulated hypoxia-induced injury in H9c2 cardiomyocytes through lncRNA EGOT. H9c2 cardiomyocytes were cultured under normoxia and hypoxia (21% and 3% O) conditions, and whether hypoxia induced injury by assessing cell viability, apoptosis and autophagy. H9c2 cells were then treated with different doses of exogenous rhBNP (200, 600 and 900 nmol/L, respectively) and the effects of rhBNP on hypoxia-induced injury in H9c2 cells as well as the expression of EGOT were studied.
