Ischemic postconditioning and remote conditioning are potentially useful tools for protecting ischemic myocardium. This study tested the hypothesis that 2,3-dehydrosilybin (DHS), a flavonolignan component of Silybum marianum, could attenuate cardiomyocyte damage following hypoxia/reoxygenation by decreasing the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). After 5-6 days of cell culture in normoxic conditions the rat neonatal cardiomyocytes were divided into four groups. Control group (9 h at normoxic conditions), hypoxia/reoxygenation group (3 h at 1 % O-2, 94 % N-2 and 5 % CO2 followed by 10 min of 10 mu mol.l(-1) DHS and 6 h of reoxygenation in normoxia) and postconditioning group (3 h of hypoxia, three cycles of 5 min reoxygenation and 5 min hypoxia followed by 6 h of normoxia). Cell viability assessed by propidium iodide staining was decreased after DHS treatment consistent with increased levels of lactatedehydrogenase (LDH) after reoxygenation. LDH leakage was significantly reduced when cardiomyocytes in the H/Re group were exposed to DHS. DHS treatment reduced H2O2 production and also decreased the generation of ROS in the H/Re group as evidenced by a fluorescence indicator. DHS treatment reduces reoxygenation-induced injury in cardiomyocytes by attenuation of ROS generation, H2O2 and protein carbonyls levels. In addition, we found that both the postconditioning protocol and the DHS treatment are associated with restored ratio of phosphorylated/total protein kinase C epsilon, relative to the H/Re group. In conclusion, our data support the protective role of DHS in hypoxia/reperfusion injury and indicate that DHS may act as a postconditioning mimic.
