Background/Aims: Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) plays an important role in the progression of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), in part by mediating apoptosis. Polyamines, including putrescine, spermidine, and spermine, are polycations with anti-oxidative, anti aging, and cell growth-promoting activities. This study aimed to determine the mechanisms by which spermine protects against ERS-induced apoptosis in rats following AMT. Methods and Results: AMI was established by ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) in rats, and exogenous spermine was administered by intraperitoneal injection (2.5 mg/ml daily for 7 days pre-AMI). Spermine treatment limited infarct size, attenuated cardiac troponin I and creatinine kinase-MB release, improved cardiac function, and decreased ERS and apoptosis related protein expression. Isolated cardiomyocytes subjected to hypoxia showed significant increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the expression of apoptosis and ERS related proteins; these effects occurred through PERK and eIF2 alpha phosphorylation. The addition of spermine attenuated cardiomyocyte apoptosis, suppressed the production of ROS, and inhibited ERS related pathways. Conclusions: Spermine was an effective pre-treatment strategy to attenuate cardiac ERS injury in rats, and the cardioprotective mechanism occurring through inhibition of ROS production and downregulation of the PERK-eIF2 alpha pathway. These findings provide a novel target for the prevention of apoptosis in the setting of AMT. (C) 2016 The Author(s) Published by S. Karger AG, Basel
