Aldose reductase mediates myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in part by opening mitochondrial permeability transition pore.
Aldose reductase (AR), a member of the aldo-keto reductase family, has been demonstrated to play a central role in mediating myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. Recently, using transgenic mice broadly overexpressing human AR (ARTg), we demonstrated that AR is an important component of myocardial I/R injury and that inhibition of this enzyme protects heart from I/R injury (20-22, 48, 4...
متن کاملMelatonin protects against heart ischemia-reperfusion injury by inhibiting mitochondrial permeability transition pore opening.
Melatonin, a well-known antioxidant, has been shown to protect against ischemia-reperfusion myocardial damage. Mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) opening is an important event in cardiomyocyte cell death occurring during ischemia-reperfusion and therefore a possible target for cardioprotection. In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that melatonin could protect heart agai...
متن کاملThe mitochondrial permeability transition pore.
This chapter reviews recent advances in the identification of the structural elements of the permeability transition pore. The discovery that cyclosporin A (CsA) inhibits the pore proved instrumental. Various approaches indicate that CsA blocks the pore by binding to cyclophilin (CyP)-D. In particular, covalent labelling of CyP-D in situ by a photoactive CsA derivative has shown that pore ligan...
متن کاملProtection effect of atorvastatin in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury rats by blocking the mitochondrial permeability transition pore.
The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of atorvastatin on the opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) and the expression of cytochrome C (Cyt C) in Sprague-Dawley rats with cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R). The rat model of cerebral artery ischemia was established by the suture-occluded method with ischemia for 2 h and reperfusion for 72 h. Thirty-fou...
متن کاملROS‐Mediated PARP Activity Undermines Mitochondrial Function After Permeability Transition Pore Opening During Myocardial Ischemia–Reperfusion
BACKGROUND Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) studies have implicated oxidant stress, the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP), and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) as contributing factors in myocardial cell death. However, the interdependence of these factors in the intact, blood-perfused heart is not known. We therefore wanted to determine whether oxidant stress, mPTP opening, and PARP...
