AS-1 attenuates Ang II-induced hypertrophic response of cardiomyocytes by inhibition of ERK1/2 phosphorylation in vitro. Rat primary cardiomyocytes were stimulated with Ang II (0.1 μM) for 24 hours. AS-1 (100 μM) or DMSO was administrated 30 minutes before Ang II induction. (AC) The mRNA expression of ANP (A), BNP (B) and β-MHC (C) in primary cardiomyocytes was measured in each group. (D) Representative images of primary cardiomyocytes stained with anti-actinin, a marker for α-cardiac muscle actinin, by immunofluorescence. (E) Representative images of total ERK1/2 and phosphor-ERK1/2 protein levels in primary cardiomyocytes by western blot. con: non-treated cells. Ang II: cells induced by Ang II. Ang II + DMSO: cells administrated with DMSO followed by Ang II induction. Ang II + AS-1: cells administrated with AS-1 followed by Ang II induction. Mean ± SEM, n = 4, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01.
