Aerobic Exercise Activates AMPK/PGC-1α Pathway, Inhibits Cardiomyocyte Apoptosis Improves Mitochondrial and Infarcted Heart Function
Aerobic exercise (AE) has attracted considerable research attention as a non-invasive therapeutic tool in recent years. Accumulating evidence has revealed its protective role against a wide range of diseases. In this study, we aimed to establish whether AE could inhibit apoptosis in infarcted cardiomyocytes and protect the heart. AE in post-myocardial infarction (post-MI) mice improved their cardiac and physical functions. Transmission electron microscopy of myocardial tissue and adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) assay findings revealed an increased mitochondrial number but decreased ATP content in the post-MI mice. Notably, this change was significantly reversed by AE. Immunofluorescence/ TUNEL staining assay results showed that AE inhibited cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Using immunoblotting of myocardial tissues, we found that AE increased the level of the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2/Bax, significantly decreased the expression of the pro-apoptotic protein caspase-3, and activated the AMPK/PGC-1α signaling pathway. Our findings provide evidence that AE activates the AMPK/PGC-1α signaling pathway, improves mitochondrial energy supply capacity, and effectively inhibits apoptosis in cardiomyocytes. Therefore, AE can be considered a promising post-infarction therapeutic intervention.
期刊介绍:
Doklady Biochemistry and Biophysics is a journal consisting of English translations of articles published in Russian in biochemistry and biophysics sections of the Russian-language journal Doklady Akademii Nauk. The journal''s goal is to publish the most significant new research in biochemistry and biophysics carried out in Russia today or in collaboration with Russian authors. The journal accepts only articles in the Russian language that are submitted or recommended by acting Russian or foreign members of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The journal does not accept direct submissions in English.
