Oleuropein Protects Cardiomyocyte against Apoptosis via Activating the Reperfusion Injury Salvage Kinase Pathway In Vitro

Figure 6

Oleuropein increased phosphorylation of Akt (a) and ERK1/2 (b) in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes subjected to SI/R. The effects of oleuropein were blocked by LY294002 (PI3K inhibitor) or U0126 (ERK inhibitor). Total ERK1/2 and Akt levels were not significantly different among the groups. All data were presented as mean ± SE (). SI/R: simulated ischemia/reperfusion. , versus control; versus SI/R.
