Abstract

Background

Phosphoregulation of signal transduction pathways is a complex series of reactions that may modulate the cellular response to ischemia–reperfusion (I–R). The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of normothermic liver I/R-induced apoptosis on phosphorylation and activation of signal proteins in tyrosine kinase pathways.

Materials and methods

In rats, a segmental normothermic ischemia of the liver was induced for 120 min. Liver apoptosis was determined using terminal deoxynucleotide-transferase-mediated deoxyuridine triphosphate nick end labeling assay, and activity of caspases-3 and -7 was determined by fluorescence. Liver tyrosine phosphorylation of proteins was examined by Western blot analysis.

Results

Normothermic I–R resulted in increased in vivo caspases-3 and -7 activity and in liver apoptosis. Shc tyrosine phosphorylation and activation of ERK1/2 were increased after reperfusion, while tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1 and activation of PKB/Akt were decreased.

Conclusions

Normothermic liver I–R leads to increased apoptosis and to modifications in protein tyrosine phosphorylation pathways.
