Abstract(in English) In this study, we investigated the mechanism of CHX-induced cardiomyocyte-specific apoptosis-like cell death in cardiac myocyte-fibroblast co-cultures from neonatal rats, and analyzed the changes of contraction rhythm associated with the cell death. Treatment of the culture with CHX resulted in the increase of contraction intervals and fluctuations in the contraction rhythm. The CHX-induced apoptosis-like cardiac myocyte death was suppressed or delayed by the cell-permeable reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenger, MnTBAP. This result suggests a possible involvement of ROS in such CHX-induced myocyte death.
