In Vivo
Stachydrine attenuates norepinephrine-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and has potential protective effects against β-adrenergic receptor induced Ca2+ mishandling. Stachydrine treatment reduces the expressions of PERK, CHOP, and caspase-3 in the endoplasmic reticulum stress-related apoptosis pathway.
In Vitro
Stachydrine can inhibit the NF-κB signal pathway, and this may be related to the mechanism of anti-hypertrophic. Intervention of stachydrine significantly suppresses the level of p-IκB protein in the cytosol and NF-κB protein in the nucleus . Tissue factor mRNA is decreased in stachydrine-treated human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Stachydrine attenuates the decline of human umbilical vein endothelial cells viability and the increase of LDH activity induced by anoxia-reoxygenation. A dose dependent decrease in expression of mRNA, and protein levels are observed in stachydrine-treated human prostate cancer cells (PC-3 and LNcaP).
