The most important vascular hormone that contributes to the development of hypertrophy is angiotensin II (Ang II). Accumulating studies have suggested that reactive oxygen species (ROS) may play an important role in cardiac hypertrophy. Propofol is a general anesthetic that possesses antioxidant action. We therefore examined whether propofol inhibited Ang II\u2013induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. Our results showed that both ROS formation and hypertrophic responses induced by Ang II in cardiomyocytes were partially blocked by propofol. Further studies showed that propofol inhibited the phophorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1\/2 (ERK1\/2) and mitogen-activated protein kinase\/ERK kinase 1\/2 (MEK1\/2) induced by Ang II via a decrease in ROS production. In addition, propofol also markedly attenuated Ang II\u2013stimulated nuclear factor-\u03baB (NF-\u03baB) activation via a decrease in ROS production. In conclusion, propofol prevents cardiomyocyte hypertrophy by interfering with the generation of ROS and involves the inhibition of the MEK\/ERK signaling transduction pathway and NF-\u03baB activation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3181\/0707-rm-206","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,5,12]],"date-time":"2008-05-12T19:11:21Z","timestamp":1210619481000},"page":"200-208","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Propofol Depresses Angiotensin II\u2013Induced Cardiomyocyte Hypertrophy\n                    <i>In Vitro<\/i>"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"233","author":[{"given":"Xiao-Jing","family":"Zou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology, Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, Hubei 430022, PR China; and Department of Emergency Medicine, Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, Hubei 430030, PR China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Le","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology, Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, Hubei 430022, PR China; and Department of Emergency Medicine, Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, Hubei 430030, PR China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shang-Long","family":"Yao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology, Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, Hubei 430022, PR China; and Department of Emergency Medicine, Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, Hubei 430030, PR China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,2,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr-R1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM199005313222203"},{"key":"bibr-R2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Baker KM, Aceto JF.
