We have shown recently that sasanquasaponin (SQS) can inhibit ischemia/reperfusion-induced elevation of intracellular Cl- concentration ([Cl-](i)) and elicit cardioprotection by up-regulating anion exchanger 3 (AE(3)) expression. In the present study, we futher analysed the intracellular signal transduction pathways by which SQS up-regulates AE(3) expression and elicits cardioprotection. Cardiomyocytes were incubated for 24 h with or without 10 mu mol/L SQS, followed by simulated ischemia/reperfusion (sI/R). NO formation, Ras activity, and extracellular-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) phosphorylation were measured appropriately. We showed that SQS pretreatment efficiently attenuated viability loss and lactate dehydrogenase leakage induced by sI/R in cardiomyocytes. Moreover, SQS induced NO production and promoted Ras activation, which futher promoted extracellular-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) phosphorylation. These effects were paralleled by an increase in AE3 expression. However, when the cardiomyocytes were treated with 2-(4-carboxyphenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-l-oxyl-3-oxide (c-PTIO; an NO scavenger), S-trans-trans-farnesylthiosalicylic acid (FTS) (a Ras inhibitor), U0126 (an ERK1/2 inhibitor), respectively, the increase in AE3 expression occurring during SQS pretreatment was almost completely abolished and, as a result, SQS-induced cardioprotection was prevented. Our findings indicate that SQS might up-regulate AE(3) expression through NO/Ras/ERK1/2 signal pathway to elicit cardioprotection in cultured cardiomyocytes.
