Previously, we reported that Astragalus polysaccharides (APS) improved DCM by inhibition of cardiac oxidative stress. In this study, we evaluated the beneficial effect of APS on high glucose-induced oxidative stress in cardiomyocytes in vitro. Materials and methods: H9C2 cells were cultured in the presence of high concentration of glucose or transfected with siRNASOD2, followed by APS treatment. The cellular mitochondrial ultrastructure was observed using a transmission electron microscope. Cell apoptosis was detected using hairpin oligonucleotide probes and quantified by flow cytometry analysis. Superoxide production was determined by immunohistochemistry using the fluorescent dye dihydroethidium (DHE). Nitrotyrosine and 8-OH-dG antibodies were employed to detect oxidative damage to cytoplasmic proteins and oxidative stress in the nuclei, respectively. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity was measured utilizing the SOD Assay Kit, and SOD protein levels were analyzed by Western blotting. Results: APS treatment protected cellular mitochondrial ultrastructure, reduced cell apoptosis (hairpin-1), inhibited cellular superoxide production (DHE), and reduced oxidative damage to cytoplasmic proteins (nitrotyrosine) and oxidative stress in the nuclei (8-OH-dG) in high glucose-induced and/or SOD2-silenced H9C2 cells, together with induction of SOD2 enzyme activity and increase of protein levels. Conclusion: Our findings indicated the beneficial effect of APS on high glucose-challenged H9C2 cells, which was associated with inhibition of oxidative stress in vitro.
