Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects and mechanisms of ethanol on oxidative stress-induced cardiac H9c2 cells mitochondrial injury under hyperglycemic conditions. Under hyperglycemic conditions, ethanol pretreatment (10-100 μM) prevented H2O2-induced mitochondria swelling, as well as decreased cell viability and Respiratory Control Ratio (RCR) in the H9c2 cells. It also prevented TMRE fluorescence intensity loss and DCF fluorescence intensity increase under hyperglycemic conditions. These effects of ethanol were reversed by the SAPK/JNK agonist, anisomycin. Finally, treatment of H9c2 cells with 33mM glucose significantly enhanced Akt and ERK phosphorylation, which was not affected by ethanol. However, ethanol decreased the phosphorylation of SAPK/JNK under hyperglycemic conditions. Collectively, these findings indicate that under hyperglycemic conditions, that ethanol prevents oxidative stress-induced mitochondrial injury in cardiac H9c2 cells by preventing ROS generation via inhibiting the SAPK/JNK signaling pathway.
