Diazoxide acts more as a PKC‐ɛ activator, and indirectly activates the mitochondrial KATP channel conferring cardioprotection against hypoxic injury

This work aimed to clarify the role of PKC isoforms and the relationship between the PKCISO forms and the mitoKATP channel in diazoxide‐induced cardioprotection.

Mechanisms by which K(ATP) channel openers produce acute and delayed cardioprotection.

The fine study by Jiang et al. is an important milestone in the ongoing studies on the role of the mitochondrial ATP-sensitive K+ (mitoKATP) channels in myocardial ischemia.

Signaling pathways involved in postconditioning-induced cardioprotection of human myocardium, in vitro

In conclusion, PKC activation, opening of mitoKATP channels and p38 MAPK activation in early reoxygenation induced the postconditioning of human myocardium, in vitro.

Signaling Mechanisms in Ischemic Preconditioning: Interaction of PKCε and MitoKATP in the Inner Membrane of Mitochondria

IPC is a process in which brief periods of ischemia improves the ability of the heart to tolerate subsequent prolonged ischemic periods, and the opening of a mitochondrial channel is believed to be critical for the induction of IPC.

MitoKATP channel activation suppresses gap junction permeability in the ischemic myocardium by an ERK-dependent mechanism.

Protein kinase C subtypes and retinal ischemic preconditioning.

Sevoflurane-induced cardioprotection depends on PKC-alpha activation via production of reactive oxygen species.

Sevoflurane improves post-ischaemic contractile recovery via activation of PKC-alpha, and ROS production, but not opening of mitoK+(ATP) channels, precedes PKc-alpha translocation towards mitochondria.

H2S preconditioning-induced PKC activation regulates intracellular calcium handling in rat cardiomyocytes.

Selective blockade of protein kinase B protects the rat and human myocardium against ischaemic injury

In conclusion, inhibition of PKB plays a critical role in protection of the mammalian myocardium and may represent a clinical target for the reduction of ischaemic injury.

Opening of mitochondrial KATP channel occurs downstream of PKC-ε activation in the mechanism of preconditioning

We examined whether the mitochondrial ATP-sensitive K channel (KATP) is an effector downstream of protein kinase C-e (PKC-e) in the mechanism of preconditioning (PC) in isolated rabbit hearts. PC w...

Protein Kinase C- ξ is Responsible for the Protection of Preconditioning in Rabbit Cardiomyocytes

It is indicated that PKC-epsilon alone is responsible for the early phase of PC's protection in rabbit cardiomyocytes and this study uses novel peptide inhibitors which correspond to part of the amino acid sequence from the isozyme-specific RACK-binding site on the PKC molecule.

Downregulation of Protein Kinase C Inhibits Activation of Mitochondrial KATP Channels by Diazoxide

It is suggested that PKC activation is required for the opening of mitoKATP channels during protection against ischemia and that this effect is linked to isoform-specific translocation of PKC-&dgr; to the mitochondria.

Implication of protein kinase C-alpha, delta, and epsilon isoforms in ischemic preconditioning in perfused rat hearts.

The ischemic preconditioning significantly improved the recovery of left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP) during reperfusion following 20 min of ischemia and the translocation of PKC-alpha, delta, epsilon isoforms suggest that one or more of these three isoforms ofPKC is involved in ischeic preconditionsing by phosphorylating membrane proteins.

Role of protein kinase C-alpha in activation of ecto-5'-nucleotidase in the preconditioned canine myocardium.

It is concluded that ischemic preconditioning activates PKC-alpha, and thus ecto-5'-nucleotidase, in the preconditionsed myocardium and this enhancement was blunted by GF109203X.

PKC-δ inhibition does not block preconditioning-induced preservation in mitochondrial ATP synthesis and infarct size reduction in rats

It is demonstrated, using a luciferase-based assay to determine the rate of ATP synthesis and state of mitochondrial bioenergetics, that IPC preserves ATP synthesis in the ischemic myocardium and that this preservation is attenuated by the isoform non-selective PKC inhibitor, chelerythrine, but not by the δ- selective antagonist, rottlerin.

Pharmacological and ischemic preconditioning of the human myocardium: mitoKATP channels are upstream and p38MAPK is downstream of PKC

Opening of mitoKATP channels and activation of PKC and p38MAPK are obligatory steps in the signal transduction cascade of IP and PP of the human myocardium with PKC activation being downstream of the opening of mkinase kinase channels and upstream of p38 MAPK activation.

Preconditioning of isolated rat heart is mediated by protein kinase C.

The results suggest that PKC is an effector of preconditioning in the isolated rat heart and transient ischemia and alpha 1-adrenergic receptor-induced preconditionsing is inhibited by protein kinase C (PKC) antagonists.

Targeted disruption of the protein kinase C epsilon gene abolishes the infarct size reduction that follows ischaemic preconditioning of isolated buffer-perfused mouse hearts.
