AMPK2α overexpression attenuates hypoxia/reoxygenation-mediated cardiomyocyte dysfunction and apoptosis. Adenovirus loaded with AMPKα2 were transfected into cardiomyocytes before H/R injury. (A) H/R injury was established through 1-h hypoxia, 2-h reoxygenation RNA was isolated from cardiomyocyte, and qPCR was used to evaluate the transcription of AMPKα2. (B) Proteins were collected from H/R-treated cardiomyocytes, and then, the expression of AMPKα2 was determined through western blots. (C) MTT assay was used to evaluate cell viability in response to H/R injury. (D,E) ELISA assay was used to measure the levels of troponin T (TnT) and creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) in H/R-treated cardiomyocytes. (F–H) The cardiomyocytes contractile properties in the context of HI/R injury. The data represent the mean ± SEM. P < 0.05.
