BACKGROUND: The noble gas argon induces cardioprotection in a rabbit model of myocardial ischemia and reperfusion. However, no studies in human primary cells or subjects have been performed so far. We used human cardiac myocyte-like progenitor cells (HCMs) to investigate the protective effect on the cellular level.
METHODS: HCMs were pretreated with 30% or 50% argon before oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) and reperfusion. We evaluated apoptotic states by flow cytometry and the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPKs) members extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), c-jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), p38 MAPkinase, and protein kinase B (Akt) by Westernblot analysis and by activity assays of downstream transcription factors. Specific inhibitors were used to proof a significant participation of these pathways in the protection by argon. Beneficial effects were further assessed by TdT-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), mitochondrial deoxyribonucleic acid (mtDNA), and cytokine release.
RESULTS: Pretreatment with 30% or 50% argon for 90 min before OGD resulted in a significant protection of HCMs against apoptosis. This effect was reversed by the application of MAPK and Akt inhibitors during argon exposure. Argon 30% reduced the release of LDH by 33% and mtDNA by 45%. The release of interleukin 1β was reduced by 44% after OGD and more than 90% during reperfusion.
CONCLUSIONS: Pretreatment with argon protects HCMs from apoptosis under ischemic conditions via activation of Akt, Erk, and biphasic regulation of JNK. Argon gas is cheap and easily administrable, and might be a novel therapy to reduce myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury.
