- W2147034391 abstract "Protein kinases and phosphatases play important roles in the phosphorylation state of intracellular proteins under both physiologic and pathophysiologic conditions. Compared to the large number of studies investigating the significance of kinases, in particular the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) in myocardial ischaemia/reperfusion and ischaemic preconditioning, relatively few studies have been done on the protein phosphatases in this scenario. Although several role players in the signal transduction cascade of ischaemia/reperfusion and ischaemic preconditioning have been identified thus far, the exact mechanism of cardioprotection still remains unclear. Previous studies from our laboratory have shown that the stress kinase, p38 MAPK, has a dual role in preconditioning: it acts as trigger of the process, while attenuation of its activation during sustained ischaemia and reperfusion is required for cardioprotection. Since the activation of p38 MAPK is dependent on both the upstream kinases for phosphorylation and phosphatases for dephosphorylation, we hypothesized that the balance between the activation state of the MAPKs and the induction of phosphatases may play a major role in determining the fate of cardiomyocytes exposed to ischaemic stress. The objectives of this study were: (i) to assess the activity of the myocardial protein phosphatases (PSPs and PP1) during sustained ischaemia and during reperfusion of non-preconditioned and ischaemic preconditioned hearts; (ii) to evaluate the significance of these phosphatases in ischaemia/reperfusion as well as in ischaemic preconditioning using available appropriate inhibitors; (iii) to give particular attention to the role of the phosphatase, mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase-1 (MKP-1), in ischaemia/reperfusion. MKP-1 is upregulated by stress conditions and selectively inactivates p38 MAPK by dephosphorylation of the regulatory Thr and Tyr residues. The glucocorticoid, dexamethasone which increases MKP-1 expression, was used as agonist to upregulate MKP-1 experimentally. The isolated perfused working rat heart was used as experimental model. After stabilization, hearts were subjected to either a one-cycle or multi-cycle ischaemic preconditioning protocol, followed by sustained global or regional ischaemia and reperfusion. Non-preconditioned hearts were subjected Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za" @default.
