AIM: To construct eukaryotic plasmid pFLAG-AMPKα2,and explore the effect on cardiomyocytes subjected to anoxia/reoxygenation(A/R) injury.METHODS: Total mRNA was extracted from H9c2 cells,and cDNA was formed by reverse transcription.The AMPKα2 coding sequence was amplified by polymerase chain reaction(PCR) and cloned into pFLAG-CMV-4.The plasmid was transfected into H9c2 cells and AMPKα protein was detected by Western blot.A/R injury model was established,cell viability was detected by MTT assay,LDH activity was analyzed with an automatic biochemical analyzer.The percentage of apoptosis,and intracellular ROS were measured by flow cytometry.SOD and GSH-Px were measured by a colorimetric method.RESULTS:AMPKα2 was successfully constructed into pFLAG-CMV-4 the expression vector.The length of the fragment identified by restriction enzyme digestion was 1700 bp.AMPKα2 protein was significant increase after transfecting with pFLAG-AMPKα2.After anoxia/reoxygenation in H9c2 cells,LDH activity,ROS production,and apoptosis were remarkably increased,while cell viability,activities of SOD and GSH-Px were decreased compared with control group(P0.01).However,the overexpression of AMPKα2 with transfecting pFLAG-AMPKα2 could reverse above index and then protect against A/R injury.CONCLUSION: Recombinant plasmid pFLAG-AMPKα2 could protect H9c2 cells against A/R injury and the mechanism involving improvement of oxidative stress.
