Abstract:
:As the number of elderly patients increases, some patients with heart problems may also need surgery. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether dexmedetomidine (DEX), a common used anesthetic, was beneficial to the patients with heart problems. Myocardial cells induced by doxorubicin (DOX) was to simulate the myocardium injury in vitro. H9c2 cells were treated with DOX, DEX/DOX, Compound C and Compound C/DEX/DOX, respectively. The expression of p-AMPK, AMPK, p-GSK3β, GSK3β, Bcl2, Bax, Cleaved caspase3, Caspase3, TXNIP, NLRP3, ASC, Cleaved caspase-1 and Caspase-1 were analyzed by Western blot. CCK-8 assay and flow cytometry analysis were used to detect the cell viability and cell apoptosis. The levels of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-18 were detected by ELISA assay and the levels of NO, ROS, LDH, SOD, MDA and taurine were detected by corresponding assay kits. As a result, DEX promoted the cell viability and inhibited the inflammation, oxidative stress and apoptosis. In addition, DEX suppressed the expression of taurine, TXNIP, NLRP3, ASC and cleaved caspase-1 and activated the expression of p-AMPK and p-GSK3β. However, those above changes could be reversed by Compound C. In conclusion, this study indicated that DEX could reduce the inflammation and apoptosis of DOX-induced myocardial cells through activating the AMPK-GSK3β signaling pathway. Because of the above effects of DEX, it may be beneficial for surgical patients with heart problems.
