Objective:To investigate the effects of hydrogen sulfide postconditioning on myocardial apoptosis and hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha/vascular endothelial growth factor in a rat model of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury.Methods:Sodium hydrosulfide was used as an exogenous donor of hydrogen sulfide.Twenty-four healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into three groups:sham-operation group
simple ischemia-reperfusion group and hydrogen sulfide postconditioning group.The myocardial apoptosis index was detected with TUNEL.Hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha/vascular endothelial growth factor mRNA were observed by RT-PCR.In addition
the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha/vascular endothelial growth factor proteins were measured by Western blot.Results:The myocardial apoptosis index significantly decreased(P<0.01)
and the mRNA and protein expression levels of hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha(P<0.01
P<0.05
respectively) and vascular endothelial growth factor(all P<0.01) significantly increased in the hydrogen sulfide postconditioning group compared with the simple ischemia-reperfusion group.Conclusion:Hydrogen sulfide postconditioning can promote the high expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha/vascular endothelial growth factor and inhibit myocardial apoptosis induced by the myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury.
