OBJECTIVES We examined whether serofendic acid (SFA) has protective effects against oxidative stress in cardiac myocytes.BACKGROUND We previously identified a novel endogenous Substance, SFA, from a lipophilic extract of fetal calf scrum. Serofendic acid protects cultured neurons against the cytotoxicity of glutamate, nitric oxide, and oxidative stress.METHODS Primary cultures of neonatal rat cardiac myocytes were exposed to oxidative stress (H2O2, 100 mu mol/l) to induce cell death. Effects of SFA were evaluated with a number of markers of cell death.RESULTS Pretreatment with SFA (100 mu mol/l) significantly suppressed markers of cell death, as assessed by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end-labeting staining and cell viability assay. Loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (Delta Psi(m)) is a critical step of the death pathway, which is triggered by matrix calcium overload and reactive oxygen species. Serofendic acid prevented the Delta Psi(m) loss induced by H2O2 in a concentration-dependent manner (with saturation by 100 mu mol/l). Serofendic acid remarkably suppressed the H2O2-induccd matrix calciurn overload and intracellular accumulation of reactive oxygen species. The protective effect of SFA was comparable to that of a mitochondrial adenosine triphosphate-sensitive potassium (mitoK(ATP)) channel opener, diazoxide. Furthermore, mitoK(ATP) channel blocker, 5-hydroxydecanoate (500 mu mol/l), abolished the protective effect of SFA. Co-application of SFA (100 mu mol/l) and diazoxide (100 mu mol/l) did not show an additive effect. Thus, SFA inhibited the oxidant-induced mitochondrial death pathway, presumably through activation of the mitoK(ATP) channel.CONCLUSIONS Serofendic acid protects cardiac myocytes against oxidant-induced cell death by preserving the functional integrity of mitochondria.
