Popis: Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-induced apoptosis is a major cause of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Emerging evidence indicates that glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) has potential cardioprotective effects. However, the precise mechanisms underlying the involvement of GLP-1 in I/R injury remain largely unknown. In the present study, we aimed to determine whether GLP-1 attenuates hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injury in cardiomyocytes and to further elucidate the underlying signaling pathway. The results indicate that GLP-1 reversed the increased apoptotic ratio, the increased lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels, the reduced cell viability, the increased Caspase-3 activity, and the increased Bax/Bcl-2 ratio caused by H/R. Importantly, GLP-1 significantly decreased the expression of H/R-induced ER stress proteins (GRP78, CHOP) and Caspase-12. In addition, we found that GLP-1 increased the expression of p-Akt in H9c2 cells with H/R injuries, and that the protective action of GLP-1 against H/R-induced injury was blocked by the GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) inhibitor Exendin9-39 and the PI3K inhibitor LY294002. Exendin9-39 and LY294002 also blocked the downregulation of ER stress protein expression by GLP-1, after H/R injury. Therefore, we have shown that GLP-1 exerts its cardioprotective effects by alleviating ER stress-induced apoptosis due to H/R injury and that these effects are most likely associated with the activation of GLP-1R/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.
