Abstract
Autophagy is simultaneously a mode of programmed cell death and an important physiological process for cell survival, but its pathophysiological significance in cardiac myocytes remains largely unknown. We induced autophagy in isolated adult rat ventricular cardiomyocytes (ARVCs) by incubating them in glucose-free, mannitol-supplemented medium for up to 4 days. Ultrastructurally, intracellular vacuoles containing degenerated subcellular organelles (e.g., mitochondria) were markedly apparent in the glucose-starved cells. Microtubule-associated protein-1 light chain 3 was significantly upregulated among the glucose-starved ARVCs than among the controls. After 4 days, glucose-starved ARVCs showed a significantly worse survival rate (19+/-5.2%) than the controls (55+/-8.3%, P<0.005). Most dead ARVCs in both groups showed features of necrosis, and the rate of apoptosis did not differ between the groups. Two inhibitors of autophagy, 3-methyladenine (3-MA) and leupeptin, significantly and dose-dependently reduced the viability of both control and glucose-starved ARVCs and caused specific morphological alterations; 3-MA reduced autophagic findings, whereas leupeptin greatly increased the numbers and the sizes of vacuoles that contained...Continue Reading
