title: [SiRNA-mediated silencing of 5-lipoxygenase gene (ALOX5) reduces necrosis of neonatal cardiomyocytes in anoxia-reoxygenation].
abstract: In experiments on the primary culture of isolated neonatal rat cardiomyocytes it was determined that cardiomyocytes express ALOX5 gene encoding enzyme 5-lipoxygenase. Anoxia-reoxygenation does not affect significantly the expression of 5-lipoxygenase mRNA in cardiomyocytes. Transfection of 5-lipoxygenase-specific small interfering RNA's (siRNA) into cardiomyocytes lead to a significant reduction of 5-lipoxygenase mRNA expression in cardiomyocytes 24 hours after transfection. ALOX5 gene silencing resulted in improved viability of cell population (by 13.3% P < 0.001) due to decreased number of necrotic (by 14.6%, P < 0.001), but not apoptotic, cells during anoxia-reoxygenation. Our results indicate that siRNA against ALOX5 effectively protects cardiomyocytes against anoxia-reoxygenation injury.
