Activation of endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) by particulate matter 2.5 (PMThirty rats were specified into: Vehicle (V); Blank Filter (BF); NEC; PM and NEC + PM. Cardiac biomarkers as PTX3 and cTnI were assayed. The oxidant/antioxidant status was evaluated via detecting Nrf2/HO-1 axis, as well as MDA and TAC. In addition, the protein expressions of PLN, DWORF, SERCA2a, PERK/eIF2α/ATF4/CHOP, and PI3K/AKT/mTOR in the heart were assessed by western blotting. The levels of inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α and IL-1β) and apoptotic markers were also determined. For detecting PM and NEC particles, cardiac tissues were examined using TEM.The results revealed that NEC markedly alleviated the oxidative stress following PMThese findings revealed that NEC may have a SERCA2a-dependent cardioprotective effect against PM |
