Diosmetin Protects against Cardiac Hypertrophy via p62/Keap1/Nrf2 Signaling Pathway.

ABSTRACT: An important pathophysiological consequence of pressure overload-induced cardiac hypertrophy is adverse cardiac remodeling, including structural changes in cardiomyocytes and extracellular matrix. Diosmetin (DIO), a monomethoxyflavone isolated from citrus fruits, had antioxidative stress effects in multiple organs. The purpose of this study was to examine the biological effect of diosmetin on pathological cardiac hypertrophy. In mice, diosmetin treatment reduced cardiac hypertrophy and dysfunction in an aortic banding- (AB-) induced pressure overload model and reducing myocardial oxidative stress by increasing antioxidant gene expression. In vitro, diosmetin (10 or 50 μm, 12 h or 24 h) protected PE-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes. Mechanistically, di
