Extracellular signal-regulated kinase signaling contributed to GDL-conferred cardioprotection against H/R injury. (A) The effect of MEK/ERK inhibitor U0126 (10 μM) or PI3K/Akt inhibitor Wortmannin (Wm; 100 nM) on GDL-induced cardioprotection against H/R injury. (B) Time-dependent effect of GDL (0, 2, 4, 8, 12, and 24 h) on ERK expression and phosphorylation by Western blot analysis. (C) Dose-dependent effect of GDL (0 μM, 1 μM, 10 μM, 100 μM, 1 mM and 10 mM) on ERK expression and phosphorylation by Western blot analysis. (D–G) Representative images and Western blot analysis of apoptosis-related proteins (Bcl2, Bax, and Caspase3) and pro-survival ERK signaling in H/R, H/R + GDL, H/R + GDL + U0126, H/R + U0126 groups. *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01 between indicated groups. NS, not significant. Data shown are representive of five independent experiments.
