Myocardial ischemia is the main reason for ischemic heart disease. Baicalin is a plant-derived flavonoid with cardio-protective activity. Herein, we tested the influences of baicalin on cardiomyocytes H9c2 apoptosis aroused by hypoxia stimulation. Firstly, H9c2 cells were subjected to hypoxia and/or baicalin exposure. Cell viability and apoptosis, along with hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF1α) and Bcl-2/adenovirus E1B 19-KDa interacting protein 3 (BNIP3) expressions were tested respectively. Then, si-HIF1α was transfected into H9c2 cells to probe whether up-regulation of HIF1α attended to the influences of baicalin on hypoxia-stimulated H9c2 cells. Finally, the regulatory effect of nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) pathway on HIF1α expression was analyzed. Hypoxia exposure aroused H9c2 cell viability reduction and apoptosis. Baicalin mitigated H9c2 cell viability reduction and apoptosis aroused by hypoxia. Moreover, HIF1α/BNIP3 pathway was further activated by baicalin in hypoxia-exposed H9c2 cells. Silencing HIF1α lowered the functions of baicalin on hypoxia-exposed H9c2 cells. Besides, baicalin enhanced hypoxia-caused activation of Nrf2/HO-1 pathway. Activation of Nrf2/HO-1 pathway was associated with the up-regulation of HIF1α and protective functions of baicalin on hypoxia-exposed H9c2 cells. Baicalin relieved cardiomyocytes H9c2 apoptosis aroused by hypoxia might be achieved through activating Nrf2/HO-1-mediated HIF1α/BNIP3 pathway. Highlights Baicalin mitigates H9c2 cell viability loss and apoptosis aroused by hypoxia; Baicalin activates HIF1a/BNIP3 pathway in hypoxia-exposed H9c2 cells; Silencing HIF1α weakens the influences of baicalin on hypoxia-exposed H9c2 cells; Baicalin promotes Nrf2/HO-1 pathway in hypoxia-exposed H9c2 cells; Promotion of Nrf2/HO-1 pathway is related to the up-regulation of HIF1α.

Background: Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) is an important complication in the treatment of heart failure, and its treatment has not made satisfactory progress. Nitroxyl (HNO) showed protective effects on the heart failure, however, the effect and underlying mechanism of HNO on MIRI remain largely unclear.
Methods: MIRI model in this study was established to induce H9C2 cell injury through hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) in vitro.

Background: Doxorubicin (DOX) is a chemotherapeutic agent widely used for cancer treatment and has non-negligible cardiotoxicity. Some previous studies have reported that cannabidiol (CBD) has cardioprotective effects. In this study, we evaluated the protective effects of CBD against DOX-induced cardiomyocyte injury, and explored the downstream molecular mechanism.

Metabolic reprogramming, the shifting from fatty acid oxidation to glucose utilization, improves cardiac function as heart failure (HF) progresses. Leptin plays an essential role in regulating glucose metabolism. However, the crosstalk between leptin and metabolic reprogramming is poorly understood.

Purpose: This study aims to investigate whether zinc ion (Zn) alleviates myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) through the MAM-associated signaling pathway and to explore its impact on ERS and calcium overload.
Methods: H9C2 cells were cultured in a DMEM supplemented with 10 % fetal bovine serum and 1 % antibiotic solution. A MIRI model was established through simulated ischemia and reoxygenation with Zn treatment in a complete medium.
