Reductions in cardiomyocyte edema and damage induced by PEDF during OGD/R are associated with inhibition of the expression of AQP1. (A) mRNA and (B) protein expression levels of AQP1, protein expression of (C) cleaved caspase-3 and (D) RIP3, and (E) cell viability and (F) cell volume were measured in neonatal cardiomyocytes. Cells were divided into the OGD/R, OGD/R + PEDF, OGD/R + PEDF + AV and OGD/R + PEDF + DMSO groups (n=6). *P<0.05 and **P<0.01, vs. OGD/R group; #P<0.05, vs. OGD/R + PEDF group. OGD, oxygen-glucose deprivation; I, ischemia; R, reperfusion; PEDF, pigment epithelium derived factor; AQP1, aquaporin 1; RIP3, receptor-interacting protein 3; AVP, arginine vasopressin.
