Background Inflammation and oxidative stress play predominant roles in the initiation and progression of ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, with nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappa B) serving as a crucial mediator. Overexpression of the inhibitor of kappa B alpha (I kappa B alpha) gene is hypothesized to have protective effects against apoptosis and autophagy in cardiomyocytes subjected to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) by inhibiting the NF-kappa B pathway. Methods The I kappa B alpha(S32A, S36A)gene was transfected via adeno-associated virus serotype 9 (AAV9) delivery into neonatal rat ventricular cardiomyocytes (NRVMs) prior to H(2)O(2)treatment. NRVMs were divided into control, H2O2, GFP + H2O2, I kappa B alpha+H2O2, and pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) + H(2)O(2)groups. Nuclear translocation of the NF-kappa B p65 subunit was evaluated by immunofluorescence and Western blotting. Cell viability was assessed by Cell Counting Kit-8 assay. Supernatant lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and intracellular malondialdehyde (MDA) were measured to identify H2O2-stimulated cytotoxicity. Apoptosis was determined by Annexin V-PE/7-AAD staining, and the mitochondrial membrane potential (Delta psi m) was detected by JC-1 staining. Western blotting was used to detect apoptosis- and autophagy-related proteins. Results I kappa B alpha transfection significantly increased cell viability and Delta psi m but decreased the supernatant LDH and cellular MDA levels in cardiomyocytes exposed to H2O2. Meanwhile, I kappa B alpha overexpression decreased H2O2-induced apoptosis by upregulating the Bcl-2/Bax ratio and reduced autophagy by downregulating the expression of Beclin-1 and the LC3-II/LC3-I ratio. These effects partly accounted for the ability of I kappa B alpha to inhibit the NF-kappa B signalling pathway, as evidenced by decreases in p65 phosphorylation and nuclear translocation. Indeed, the effects of inactivation of NF-kappa B signalling with the specific inhibitor PDTC resembled the cardioprotective effects of I kappa B alpha during H(2)O(2)stimulation. Conclusion I kappa B alpha overexpression can ameliorate H2O2-induced apoptosis, autophagy, oxidative injury, and Delta psi m loss through inhibition of the NF-kappa B signalling pathway. These findings suggest that I kappa B alpha transfection can result in successful resistance to oxidative stress-induced damage by inhibiting NF-kappa B activation, which may provide a potential therapeutic target for the prevention of myocardial I/R injury.
