Abstract |
Introduction |
The emergence of numerous tissue engineering and regenerative medicine techniques cell encapsulation paves a way to heal and restore the function of various injured tissues mainly cardiovascular system. Here, we aimed to investigate the role of alginate-gelatin encapsulation on the dynamic of rat cardiomyoblasts in vitro.
Materials and methods |
Rat cardiomyoblasts cell line H9C2 were enclosed by using alginate-gelatin microspheres and incubated for 7 days. MTT method was used to examine cell viability. The level of genes associated with cardiomyoblasts maturation MYL7, NPPA, NKX2-5, and GATA4 real-time PCR. ELISA was used to measure the protein levels of Bcl-2 and Bax factor post-encapsulation. The level of SOD, GPx, and TAC was detected by biochemical analyses. Western blotting was performed to measure the content of AMP-activated protein kinase.
Results |
We found that encapsulation was able to increase the viability of rat cardiomyocytes after 7 days. The decreased level of Bcl-2 (p < 0.001) coincided with non-significant differences in the level of Bax (p > 0.05). The transcription level of all genes MYL7, NPPA, NKX2-5, and GATA4 were found to down-regulate compared to the control non-treated cells (p < 0.05). No significant differences were found regarding the level of SOD, GPx, and TAC compared to the control (p>0.05). According to western blotting, revealed a reduced level of AMPK following 7-day incubation of rat cardiomyoblasts (p < 0.05).
Conclusion |
Data confirmed that the encapsulation of rat cardiomyoblasts with alginate-gelatin microspheres maintained the cells multipotentiality.
