Effects of uncoupling protein 2 on cardiomyocyte hypertrophy induced by indoxyl sulfate
Objective To investigate the effects of uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) on cardiomyocyte hypertrophy induced by indoxyl sulfate (IS). Methods Neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were separately treated with IS of 0
100
250
500
and 1 000 μmol/L for 1 h or with 500 μmol/L IS for 0
15

45
and 60 min. Then UCP2 expression was tested with Western blotting. After neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were infected with lentivirus
we observed the expressio
n of UCP2 by Western blotting and detected reactive oxygen species (ROS) production by Mitosox
TM
. Cell size was tested by immunofluorescent staining of α-actinin. ANF
BNP and β-MHC mRNA and [

]
leucine incorporation were examined as indicators of cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. Results Compared with the control group
IS treatment reduced the expression of UCP2 in a dose- and time-dependent manner (P0.05). UCP2 overexpression significantly suppressed ROS generation
inhibited the increase of cell volume and [

leucine incorporation
and reduced the mRNA expression of ANF
BNP
and β-MHC induced by IS (P0.05). Conclusion IS may induce cardiomyocyte hypertrophy by down-regulating UCP2 expression and enhancing oxidative stress. UCP2 overexpression may antagonize IS-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy by inhibiting oxidative stress.
