Abstract

Reperfusion of ischaemic myocardium is accompanied by cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Although a protective role of propofol in this process has been suggested, the exact mechanism of propofol activity remains to be elucidated. Here, we report that propofol protects cardiac H9c2 cells from hypoxia/reoxygenation-induced cell death by attenuating the phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs) and by up-regulating heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) expression levels. Treatment with 25 µM propofol significantly protected against hypoxia/reoxygenation‑induced cell death, as determined by the MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay and Western blot analysis using anti-apoptotic signal proteins, such as apoptotic protease activating factor 1 and caspase 9. Propofol furthermore suppressed the ERK signaling pathway in cardiac H9c2 cells subjected to hypoxia/reoxygenation. The up-regulation of anti-oxidant enzymes such as HO-1, manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) and catalase is also associated with the protective effect of propofol on hypoxia/reoxygenation-induced cell death. Taken together, the results reveal a new mechanism by which propofol inhibits hypoxia/reoxygenation-induced cell death in cardiac H9c2 cells, supporting a potential application of propofol as a preemptive cardioprotectant.
