Abstract:

AIM: To observe the effect of allicin on apoptosis and Pink1/Parkin signal path of cardiomyocyte in db/db mice.  METHODS: Diabetes models were randomly divided into diabetes model group and allicin group. After 21 days of injection, all mice were sacrificed and samples were gathered. Cell apoptosis was analyzed using TUNEL. The mRNA and protein expression level of Pink1, Parkin and Mfn1 were detected by qRT-PCR and Western blot. RESULTS: Severe cardiomyocyte apoptosis, lower expression of Parkin, and higher expression of Mfn1 were observed in diabetes model group, while in allicin group, such changes were improved. CONCLUSION:A llicin can effectively restrain cardiomyocyte apoptosis and protect cardiomyocyte by activating Pink1/Parkin signal path.

Key words: allicin, cardiomyocyte, apoptosis, db/db mice, Parkin
