Abstract：Objective To elucidate the relationship between Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinaseⅡ(CaMKⅡ)and autophagy during the development of cardiac hypertrophy. Methods Rat embryonic cardiac cell line H9c2 cells was treated by angiotensin Ⅱ to establish cardiomyocyte hypertrophy model in vitro and using antagonists and gene function gain and loss to analyze AMPK-LC3Ⅱ autophagy signaling pathway. Results The phosphorylation of CaMKⅡ and autophagy related signaling-AMPK and autophagy marker LC3Ⅱ were rapidly increased by angiotensinⅡtreatment at early stage. However ,the above changes were highly blocked by CaMKⅡinhibitor and HDAC4 inhibition. Conclusion CaMKⅡ is the center factor of regulating cardiac hypertrophy ,it mediates autophagy through directly regulating AMPK or indirectly regulating HDAC4 during the development of cardiac hypertrophy.
