Summary
Activation of the mitochondrial KATP channel (mitoKATP) has been shown to confer an early and late phase of cardioprotection against ischemic injury via protein kinase C (PKC) signaling pathways. However, the exact relationship between PKC or its isoforms and mitoKATP channels has not yet been clarified in both early and late preconditioning (PC). The hypothesis of this study is that the translocation of PKC to mitochondria is important for early cardiac protection elicited by mitoKATP channels. PKC was down-regulated by treatment of PMA (4μg/kg) for 24-hours prior to subsequent experiments. Langendorff-perfused rat hearts were subjected to 40-min of ischemia followed by 30-min reperfusion. In late PC, nitric oxide was hypothesized to be trigger for the opening of mitoKATP channels to enable the heart to protect itself against ischemic damage. This was tested in iNOS knockout mouse hearts. Effects of PKC down-regulation or blockade of PKC activity by chelerythrine on the activation of mitoKATP channel and other interventions on hemodynamic, biochemical and pathological changes were assessed. Subcellular distribution of PKC isoforms by immunocy-tochemistry demonstrates that immunostaining of PKC-δ was observed in the mitochondria after diazoxide (DE, 80μmol/L) pretreatment, PKC-ε was translocated to intercalated disc and PKC-β1 was translocated to the nucleus. In DE treated hearts, a significant improvement in cardiac function and attenuation of cell injury was observed. In the PKC down-regulated hearts or hearts pretreated with chelerythrine, the protection was abolished because mitoKATP channels could not be activated by DE. These data suggest that PKC activation is required for the opening of mitoKATP channels in the protection against ischemia and this effect is linked with isoform specific translocation of δ to mitochondria. NO is an important trigger for the opening of mitoKATP channels after 24 hours of initial preconditioning stimulus. DE was found to be totally ineffective in iNOS knockout mice. DE activated NF-kB via PKC signaling pathway and that lead to NOS up-regulation for further activation of the mitoKATP after 24 hours upon ischemic stimulus.
