ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
We previously demonstrated the involvement of the Ca2+-independent protein kinase C-delta (PKC-delta) isoform in sevoflurane-induced cardioprotection against ischaemia and reperfusion (I/R) injury. Since sevoflurane is known to modulate myocardial Ca2+-handling directly, in this study we investigated the role of the Ca2+-dependent PKC-alpha isoform in sevoflurane-induced cardioprotective signalling in relation to reactive oxygen species (ROS), adenosine triphosphate-sensitive mitochondrial K+ (mitoK+(ATP)) channels, and PKC-delta.METHODS:
Preconditioned (15 min 3.8 vol% sevoflurane) isolated rat right ventricular trabeculae were subjected to I/R, consisting of 40 min superfusion with hypoxic, glucose-free buffer, followed by normoxic glucose-containing buffer for 60 min. After reperfusion, contractile recovery was expressed as percentage of force development before I/R. The role of PKC-alpha, ROS, mitoK+(ATP) channels, and PKC-delta was established using the following pharmacological inhibitors Go6976 (GO; 50 nM), n-(2-mercaptopropionyl)-glycine (MPG; 300 microM), 5-hydroxydecanoic acid sodium (5HD; 100 microM), and rottlerin (ROT; 1 microM).RESULTS:
Preconditioning of trabeculae with sevoflurane improved contractile recovery after I/R [65 (3)% (I/R + SEVO) vs 47 (3)% (I/R); n = 8; P < 0.05]. This cardioprotective effect was attenuated in trabeculae treated with GO [42 (4)% (I/R + SEVO + GO); P > 0.05 vs (I/R)]. In sevoflurane-treated trabeculae, PKC-alpha translocated towards mitochondria, as shown by immunofluorescent co-localization analysis. GO and MPG, but not 5HD or ROT, abolished this translocation.CONCLUSIONS:
Sevoflurane improves post-ischaemic contractile recovery via activation of PKC-alpha. ROS production, but not opening of mitoK+(ATP) channels, precedes PKC-alpha translocation towards mitochondria. This study shows the involvement of Ca2+-dependent PKC-alpha in addition to the well-established role of Ca2+-independent PKC isoforms in sevoflurane-induced cardioprotection.
