Purpose: This study sought to determine the effect of Pink1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy on liver cells exposed to intermittent hypoxia (IH) and the roles of globular adiponectin (gAPN). Methods: The hepatocyte model of IH was established. Cell apoptosis was assessed using flow cytometry. Mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) level was determined using JC-1, and mitophagy was assessed using a confocal laser. Mitochondrial injury associated protein levels of bax and bcl-2, and protein levels of Pink1 and Parkin were evaluated via western blotting. We downregulated Parkin expression by transfecting the cells with Parkin siRNA. Results: Pink1 and Parkin protein levels, mitophagy, and cell apoptosis rate were high, while the MMP level and protein level ratio of bcl-2/bax were low in IH-treated hepatocyte. gAPN upregulated Pink1 and Parkin protein levels, MMP level, protein level ratio of bcl-2/bax, and mitophagy while it reduced the rate of cell apoptosis in IH-treated hepatocytes. Inhibiting Parkin expression significantly reduced mitophagy and increased mitochondrial injury and the rate of hepatocyte apoptosis under IH or IH with gAPN. Conclusion: gAPN alleviated IH-induced mitochondrial injury and hepatocyte apoptosis by upregulating Pink1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
