This study was conducted to evaluate the protective effect of Naringin (NAR) on H9C2 cardiomyocytes in hypoxia/reoxygenation (HR) injury in vitro induced by the hypoxia chamber. Methods: H9C2 cells were grown under normal (control) and HR conditions. The viability, cardiolipin content and mitochondrial membrane potential of H9C2 cells in experimental groups were analyzed by using suitable kits. Results: The obtained results showed that the addition of Naringin (16÷160 µM) significantly increased the survival rate of H9C2 cells under HR conditions. In particular, NAR had the highest efficiency in preserving mitochondrial function at concentrations of 80 µM and 160 µM. In HR-exposed H9C2 cell group, the cardiolipin content and mitochondrial membrane potential values of H9C2 cells were decreased sharply with that of control (71,64±1,37% and 68,12±2,78%, p<0,05). Interestingly, mitochondrial cardiolipin contents were signigicantly increased in H9C2 cells post-hypoxic treated wtih NAR at dose of 80 µM 160 µM to 87,76±1,89% and 81,09±1,21%. Additionally, post-hypoxic supplementation of NAR at concentration of 80 µM and 160 µM effectively increased mitochondrial membrane potential values. Conclusion: The obtained results are preliminary data on the effects of NAR in protecting mitochondrial-targeted cardiomyocytes against HR injury.

Tripartite motif 8 (TRIM8) is a member of the TRIM protein family that has been found to be implicated in cardiovascular disease. However, the role of TRIM8 in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) has not been investigated. We aimed to explore the effect of TRIM8 on cardiomyocyte H9c2 cells exposed to hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R). We found that TRIM8 expression was markedly upregulated in H9c2 cells after stimulation with H/R. Gain- and loss-of-function assays proved that TRIM8 knockdown improved cell viability of H/R-stimulated H9c2 cells. In addition, TRIM8 knockdown suppressed reactive oxygen species production and elevated the levels of superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase. Knockdown of TRIM8 suppressed the caspase-3 activity, as well as caused significant increase in bcl-2 expression and decrease in bax expression. Furthermore, TRIM8 overexpression exhibited apposite effects with knockdown of TRIM8. Finally, knockdown of TRIM8 enhanced the activation of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway in H/R-stimulated H9c2 cells. Inhibition of PI3K/Akt by LY294002 reversed the effects of TRIM8 knockdown on cell viability, oxidative stress, and apoptosis of H9c2 cells. These present findings defined TRIM8 as a therapeutic target for attenuating and preventing myocardial I/R injury.
