Desflurane‐induced and ischaemic postconditioning against myocardial infarction are mediated by Pim‐1 kinase

Abstract: Background: Anaesthetic-induced (APOST) and ischaemic postconditioning (IPOST) against myocardial infarction are mediated via phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase/Akt. Pim-1 kinase is acting downstream of Akt and has recently been demonstrated to enhance cardiomyocyte survival. We tested the hypothesis that both APOST and IPOST are mediated by Pim-1 kinase. Methods: Pentobarbital-anaesthetized male C57BL/6 mice were subjected to 45-min coronary artery occlusion (CAO) and 3-h reperfusion. Animals received either no in… Show more

“…Kidneys were harvested at the end of the experiment for histopathological studies. Organ tissues were fixed in formaldehyde 3.5% (Otto Fischar, Germany) for more than 24 h. Tissues were stained with haematoxylin and eosin reagent and PAS-reaction as previously described [ 8 , 13 ]. The morphological alterations of kidneys were analysed semi-quantitatively by a blinded investigator where 0 was given when no alterations were found, 1 for mild alterations, 2 for medium alterations and 3 for severe alterations.…”

“…Its expression is high in cardiac progenitor cells as it can promote cell proliferation. At the same time, it can act as a downstream molecule of AKT and phosphorylate Bad 112 serine, thus regulating the adaptability of myocardial ischemia injury and increasing myocardial cell survival (Iwakura et al, ; Stumpner et al, ; Hu et al, ; Samse et al, ). Pim‐1 mRNA expression is low in the normal rat cerebellum, brainstem, cerebral cortex, and hippocampus, but high in the pituitary gland.…”

“…In mouse heart in vivo, phosphorylation of the pro-apoptotic molecule Bcl-2-associated death (Bad), mediates desflurane-induced PostC via the Pim-1 kinase activation. 16 Pim-1 kinase, a proto-oncogene serine/threonine-protein kinase, was recently identified as a downstream mediator of protein Akt activity in cardiomyocytes: it reduces myocardial infarct size and cardiomyocyte apoptosis and phosphorylates several downstream targets, including Bad. The isolated perfused rat hearts exposed to sevoflurane, in early reperfusion, showed that the expression of Bcl-2 and phospho-Bad increased, and the expression of Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax: a pro-apoptotic protein) decreased.…”
