Abstract: Objective To discuss whether liraglutide has protective effect on myocardial cell damage induced by hypoxia/reoxygenation(H/R)and its possible mechanism.Methods Myocardial cells of neonatal rats were cultured as the object of experiment, and the cells were divided into 5 groups: normal control group(Group A), pure H/R group(Group B), Liraglutide+H/R group(Group C), H/R+ Liraglutide+LY294002 group(Group D), and H/R+LY294002 group(Group E). In each group, n=8. Cell supernatant, the level of lactic dehydrogenase(LDH)and malondialdehyde(MDA), and superoxide dismutase(SOD)activity were detected respectively for the three groups. Double staining method of the flow cytometry was applied to detect apoptosis rate of myocardial cells in each group and the activity of Caspase-3. Results Compared with Group A, the level of LDH and MDA, apoptosis rate and Caspase-3 activity in Group B increased significantly, while SOD activity decreased. The differences had statistical significance(P<0.01). Compared with Group B, the level of LDH and MDA, apoptosis rate and Caspase-3 activity in Group C lowered, while SOD activity rose. The differences had statistical significance(P<0.01). Compared with Group C, the level of LDH and MDA, apoptosis rate and Caspase-3 activity in Group D rose, while SOD activity lowered. The differences had statistical significance(P<0.01). For the changes in the above indexes, the comparison between Group B and Group E had no statistical significance(P>0.05). Conclusion H/R damages myocardial cell, while liraglutide directly affects myocardial cells and may protect myocardial cells to certain degree through anti-oxidative stress damage, apoptosis inhibition and reduction of membrane permeability. PI3K pathway may be related to the anti-apoptosis effect and oxidative stress mechanism of liraglutide on myocardial cell.
