Recombinant adeno-associated virus serotyoe 9 with CaMEK gene transfected on myocardial cells leads to reduce I/R-induced apoptosis

Objective To determine whether recombinant adeno-associated virus serotyoe 9 with CaMEK gene transfected on myocardial cells leads to reduce I/R-induced apoptosis.Methods Establish an ischemic/reperfusion(I/R) model of myocardial cells in vitro and the cells were divided into four experimental groups:(1) control group;(2) I/R group;(3) I/R+rAAV9-CBA-CaMEK group;(4) I/R+rAAV9-CBACaMEK+PD98059 group,respectively.The P-ERK1/2 and the Caspase-3,Bax were quqntitated by Western blot.Results These data clearly demonstrate that AAV9-mediated CaMEK gene transfected lead to active ERK1/2 and reduce I/R-induced apoptosis notablely.Conclusion rAAV9-mediated CaMEK gene transfected on myocardial cells can reduce I/R-induced apoptosis.
