Acacetin Protects Myocardial Cells against Hypoxia-Reoxygenation Injury through Activation of Autophagy

Figure 5

Acacetin mitigates H/R injury by regulating the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway. H9c2 cells were divided into control, H/R, H/R + acacetin (12.5, 25, and 50 μg/ml), and H/R +50 μg/ml acacetin + LY294002 groups. (a–f) Relative protein levels of p-Akt, p-PI3K, and mTOR in each group were measured by Western blot. Bars indicate of three independent experiments. # compared with control group; #, compared with H/R model group. H/R; hypoxia/reoxygenation; p-: phosphorylated; PI3K: phosphoinositide 3 kinase; mTOR: mechanistic target of rapamycin.
