Flow cytometry analysis revealed that H/R time-dependently increased ROS levels (Figure 2(a)), with a significant difference beginning at 2 hours of hypoxia and 1 hour of reoxygenation (H: 2 hours/R: 1 hour), respectively. Exposure of H9c2 cells to H/R resulted in a significant decline in cell viability with a time dependence (Figure 2(b)). We assessed the time course for JNK and p-JNK. JNK protein expression did not change in H/R over time as was expected (Figure 2(c)). In contrast, Figure 2(c) also shows H/R activated the phosphorylation of JNK as compared with the control group.

In comparison to the control group, the ROS level, JNK activity, and cell viability all incredibly changed starting at H: 2 hours/R: one hour. Based on the above mentioned data, H: 2 hours/R: one hour were found in following tests. 3.2. Ramifications of c-Jun N-Terminal Kinase on Sab Proteins Expression and Src Activity and the Reactive Oxygen Species Level in Mitochondria in H9c2 Cells To determine the expression of p-JNK in mitochondria during H/R and the effects of p-JNK on mitochondrial Sab and Src, we isolated mitochondria from H9c2 cells after treatment. As shown in Figure 3(a), there was no p-JNK localized to the mitochondria in the control group, but, after H/R treatment, p-JNK was found in the mitochondria and p-Src expression decreased. When JNK inhibitor SP600125 was used before H/R, the level of mitochondrial p-JNK markedly decreased and Src dephosphorylation was reversed. At the same time, the differences of Sab expression were not significant among each group (Figure 3(a)). Under normal conditions, the mitochondrial ROS level is lower. However, after H/R treatment, the mitochondrial ROS level increased, whereas SP600125 could decrease the level of mitochondrial ROS (Figure 3(b)).
