Aim: To investigate the potential effect of curcumin on cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and a possible mechanism involving the PPAR gamma/Akt/NO signaling pathway in diabetes.Methods: The cardiomyocyte hypertrophy induced by high glucose (25.5 mmol/L) and insulin (0.1 mu mol/L) (HGI) and the antihypertrophic effect of curcumin were evaluated in primary culture by measuring the cell surface area, protein content and atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) mRNA expression. The mRNA and protein expressions were assayed by reverse transcription PCR and Western blotting, whereas the NO concentration and endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) activity were determined using nitrate reduction and ELISA methods, respectively.Results: The cardiomyocyte hypertrophy induced by HGI was characterized by increasing ANF mRNA expression, total protein content, and cell surface area, with downregulated mRNA and protein expressions of both PPAR gamma and Akt, which paralleled the declining eNOS mRNA expression, eNOS content, and NO concentration. The effects of HGI were inhibited by curcumin (1, 3, 10 mu mol/L) in a concentration-dependent manner. GW9662 (10 mu mol/L), a selective PPAR gamma antagonist, could abolish the effects of curcumin. LY294002 (20 mu mol/L), an Akt blocker, and N-G-nitro-L-arginine-methyl ester (100 mu mol/L), a NOS inhibitor, could also diminish the effects of curcumin.Conclusions: The results suggested that curcumin supplementation can improve HGI-induced cardiomyocytes hypertrophy in vitro through the activation of PPAR gamma/Akt/NO signaling pathway.
