Reduced susceptibility to ischemia-induced arrhythmias in the preconditioned rat heart is independent of PI3-kinase/Akt
View through Europeana Collections
We examined the involvement of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and its effector protein ki nase B (Akt) in cardioprotective effects of ischemic preconditioning (PC) with particular regards to its role in the protection against ischemia-induced arrhythmias in isolated perfused rat heart. PI3K/Akt inhibitor wortmannin (100 nM) was administered 15 min prior to 30-min regional (left anterior descending coronary artery occlusion) ischemia for the study of ischemic arrhythmias in the hearts perfused at constant coronary flow or prior to 30-min global ischemia followed by 2-h reperfusion for the infarct size (IS) determination (tetrazolium staining) in the hearts perfused at constant pressure. PC procedure (one cycle of isch emia/reperfusion, 5 min each) significantly reduced the total number of ventricular premature complexes (PVC) and severity of arrhythmias (arrhythmia score; AS) over the whole period of left anterior descending coronary artery occlusion in comparison with non-PC controls (PVC 166±40; AS 1.6±0.2 vs . 550±60 and 3.2±0.2; respectively; P
