1 Atorvastatin protects cardiomyocytes from oxidative stress by inhibiting LOX-1 expression and cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Atorvastatin oxidized low density lipoprotein receptor 1 Homo sapiens
2 In this study, we examined whether atorvastatin inhibits H2O2-induced LOX-1 expression and H9c2 cardiomyocyte apoptosis, and investigated the underlying signaling pathway. Atorvastatin oxidized low density lipoprotein receptor 1 Homo sapiens
3 H2O2-induced LOX-1 expression, caspase protein expression, and cardiomyocyte apoptosis were attenuated by pretreatment with atorvastatin. Atorvastatin oxidized low density lipoprotein receptor 1 Homo sapiens
4 These findings indicate that atorvastatin protects cardiomyocyte from oxidative stress via inhibition of LOX-1 expression and apoptosis, and that activation of H2O2-inhibited phosphorylation of Akt may play an important role in the protective function of atorvastatin. Atorvastatin oxidized low density lipoprotein receptor 1 Homo sapiens
