Butein Ameliorates Oxidative Stress in H9c2 Cardiomyoblasts through Activation of the NRF2 Signaling Pathway.

ABSTRACT: Oxidative stress, defined as an imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and the antioxidant defense system, contributes to the pathogenesis of many heart diseases. Therefore, oxidative stress has been highlighted as a therapeutic target for heart disease treatment. Butein, a tetrahydroxychalcone, has potential biological activities, especially antioxidant properties. However, the effect of butein on oxidative-stressed heart cells has been poorly studied. Thus, we sought to identify the antioxidant effects of butein in H9c2 cardiomyoblasts. To elucidate these antioxidant effects, various concentrations of butein were used to pretreat H9c2 cells prior to H₂O₂ treatment. Thereafter, measures of oxidative damages, such as ROS production, antioxidant exp
