Sevoflurane exerts improved protective effects than propofol on hypoxia-reoxygenation injury by regulating the microRNA-221-5p/ADAM8 axis in cardiomyocytes.

ABSTRACT: Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a leading cause of heart disease and death. Decreasing the detrimental effect of I/R remains an urgent issue in clinical practice. The present study examined the interaction of the anesthetics (sevoflurane and propofol), ADAM8, and microRNA (miR)-221-5p in myocardial tissue protection in the hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R) model. H9C2 cells were cultured and subjected to H/R stimulation for further verifications in vitro. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR or western blotting was performed to evaluate mRNA or protein expression levels. Cell Counting Kit-8, BrdU, and caspase-3 activity assays were performed to investigate cell viability, proliferation and apoptosis. A dual-luciferase reporter assay was performed to verify the associatio
