Abstract
Myocardial ischemia and reperfusion (MIR) results in cardiomyocyte apoptosis with severe outcomes, which blocks cardiac tissue recovering from myocardial ischemia diseases. Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) is one of protective molecule chaperones which could regulate the nucleus translocation of other proteins. In addition, eukaryotic elongation factor 2 (eEF2), which modulates protein translation process, is vital to the recovery of heart during MIR. However, the relationship between HSP70 and eEF2 and its effects on MIR are unclear. The expression and relationship between HSP70 and eEF2 is confirmed by western blot, immunoprecipitation in vitro using cardiomyocyte cell line H9c2 and in vivo rat MIR model. The further investigation was conducted in H9c2 cells with detection for cell-cycle and apoptosis. It is revealed that eEF2 interacted and be regulated by HSP70, which kept eEF2 as dephosphorylated status and preserved the function of eEF2 during MIR. In addition, HSP70 suppressed the nucleus translocation of phosphorylated eEF2, which inhibited cardiomyocyte apoptosis during myocardial reperfusion stage. Furthermore, HSP70 also interacted with C-terminal fragment of eEF2, which could reverse the nucleus translocation and cardiomyocyte apoptosis caused by N-terminal fragment of eEF2. HSP70 draw on advantage and avoid defect of MIR through regulating phosphorylation and nucleus translocation of eEF2.
