[PMID: 38185705 PMCID: PMC10772178 DOI: 10.1038/s41392-023-01688-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2023] [Revised: 08/29/2023] [Accepted: 10/18/2023] [Indexed: 01/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury paradoxically occurs during reperfusion following ischemia, exacerbating the initial tissue damage. The limited understanding of the intricate mechanisms underlying I/R injury hinders the development of effective therapeutic interventions. The Wnt signaling pathway exhibits extensive crosstalk with various other pathways, forming a network system of signaling pathways involved in I/R injury. This review article elucidates the underlying mechanisms involved in Wnt signaling, as well as the complex interplay between Wnt and other pathways, including Notch, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B, transforming growth factor-β, nuclear factor kappa, bone morphogenetic protein, N-methyl-D-aspartic acid receptor-Ca2+-Activin A, Hippo-Yes-associated protein, toll-like receptor 4/toll-interleukine-1 receptor domain-containing adapter-inducing interferon-β, and hepatocyte growth factor/mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor. In particular, we delve into their respective contributions to key pathological processes, including apoptosis, the inflammatory response, oxidative stress, extracellular matrix remodeling, angiogenesis, cell hypertrophy, fibrosis, ferroptosis, neurogenesis, and blood-brain barrier damage during I/R injury. Our comprehensive analysis of the mechanisms involved in Wnt signaling during I/R reveals that activation of the canonical Wnt pathway promotes organ recovery, while activation of the non-canonical Wnt pathways exacerbates injury. Moreover, we explore novel therapeutic approaches based on these mechanistic findings, incorporating evidence from animal experiments, current standards, and clinical trials. The objective of this review is to provide deeper insights into the roles of Wnt and its crosstalk signaling pathways in I/R-mediated processes and organ dysfunction, to facilitate the development of innovative therapeutic agents for I/R injury.

Abstract
An analysis of published data and the results of our own studies reveal that the activation of a peripheral δ2-opioid receptor (δ2-OR) increases the cardiac tolerance to reperfusion. It has been found that this δ2-OR is localized in cardiomyocytes. Endogenous opioids are not involved in the regulation of cardiac resistance to reperfusion. The infarct-limiting effect of the δ2-OR agonist deltorphin II depends on the activation of several protein kinases, including PKCδ, ERK1/2, PI3K, and PKG. Hypothetical end-effectors of the cardioprotective effect of deltorphin II are the sarcolemmal KATP channels and the MPT pore.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death globally, with CVDs accounting for nearly 30% of deaths worldwide each year. G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the most prominent family of receptors on the cell surface, and play an essential regulating cellular physiology and pathology. Some GPCR antagonists, such as β-blockers, are standard therapy for the treatment of CVDs. In addition, nearly one-third of the drugs used to treat CVDs target GPCRs. All the evidence demonstrates the crucial role of GPCRs in CVDs. Over the past decades, studies on the structure and function of GPCRs have identified many targets for the treatment of CVDs. In this review, we summarize and discuss the role of GPCRs in the function of the cardiovascular system from both vascular and heart perspectives, then analyze the complex ways in which multiple GPCRs exert regulatory functions in vascular and heart diseases. We hope to provide new ideas for the treatment of CVDs and the development of novel drugs.

Abstract
Several in vitro and in vivo investigations have already proved that cells and tissues, when pre-exposed to low oxidative stress by different stimuli such as chemical, physical agents and environmental factors, display more resistance against subsequent stronger ischaemic injuries, resulting in an adaptive response known as ischaemic preconditioning (IPC). The aim of this review is to report the most recent knowledge about the complex adaptive mechanisms, including signalling transduction pathways, antioxidant systems, apoptotic and inflammation pathways, underlying cell protection against oxidative damage. In addition, an update about in vivo adaptation strategies in response to ischaemic/reperfusion episodes and brain trauma is also given.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a major debilitating disease whose global incidence is progressively increasing with currently over 463 million adult sufferers and this figure will likely reach over 700 million by the year 2045. It is the complications of diabetes such as cardiovascular, renal, neuronal and ocular dysfunction that lead to increased patient morbidity and mortality. Of these, cardiovascular complications that can result in stroke and cardiomyopathies are 2- to 5-fold more likely in diabetes but the underlying mechanisms involved in their development are not fully understood. Emerging research suggests that members of the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR/ErbB/HER) family of tyrosine kinases can have a dual role in that they are beneficially required for normal development and physiological functioning of the cardiovascular system (CVS) as well as in salvage pathways following acute cardiac ischemia/reperfusion injury but their chronic dysregulation may also be intricately involved in mediating diabetes-induced cardiovascular pathologies. Here we review the evidence for EGFR/ErbB/HER receptors in mediating these dual roles in the CVS and also discuss their potential interplay with the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System heptapeptide, Angiotensin-(1-7), as well the arachidonic acid metabolite, 20-HETE (20-hydroxy-5, 8, 11, 14-eicosatetraenoic acid). A greater understanding of the multi-faceted roles of EGFR/ErbB/HER family of tyrosine kinases and their interplay with other key modulators of cardiovascular function could facilitate the development of novel therapeutic strategies for treating diabetes-induced cardiovascular complications.

Abstract
Cell surface receptors including the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) family and G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) play quintessential roles in physiology, and in diseases, including cardiovascular diseases. While downstream signaling from these individual receptor families has been well studied, the cross-talk between EGF and GPCR receptor families is still incompletely understood. Including members of both receptor families, the number of receptor and ligand combinations for unique interactions is vast, offering a frontier of pharmacologic targets to explore for preventing and treating disease. This molecular cross-talk, called receptor transactivation, is reviewed here with a focus on the cardiovascular system featuring the well-studied GPCR receptors, but also discussing less-studied receptors from both families for a broad understanding of context of expansile interactions, repertoire of cellular signaling, and disease consequences. Attention is given to cell type, level of chronicity, and disease context given that transactivation and comorbidities, including diabetes, hypertension, coronavirus infection, impact cardiovascular disease and health outcomes.

Abstract
Delta opioids are thought to relieve ischemic injury and have tissue-protective properties. However, the detailed mechanisms of delta opioids have not been well identified. Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), such as epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), have been shown to mediate downstream signals of δ opioid receptor (δOR) activation through the metalloproteinase (MMP)-dependent EGF-like growth factor (HB-EGF) excretion pathway, which is called transactivation. In this study, to investigate the role of EGFR in δOR-induced anti-ischemic effects in the brain, we applied the middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model followed by reperfusion to mimic ischemic stroke injury in rats. Pre-treatment with the δOR agonist [D-ala2, D-leu5] enkephalin (DADLE) improved the neurologic deficits and the decreased infarct volume caused by cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury, which were blocked by the EGFR inhibitor AG1478 and the MMP inhibitor GM6001, respectively. Further results indicated that DADLE activated EGFR, Akt and ERK1/2 and upregulated EGFR expression in the hippocampus in a time-dependent manner, which were inhibited by AG1478 and GM6001. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) results showed that δOR activation led to an increase in HB-EGF release, but HB-EGF in tissue was downregulated at the mRNA and protein levels. Moreover, this protective action caused by δOR agonists may involve attenuated hippocampal cellular apoptosis. Overall, these results demonstrate that MMP-mediated transactivation of EGFR is essential for δOR agonist-induced MCAO/reperfusion injury relief. These findings provide a potential molecular mechanism for the neuroprotective property of δOR and may add new insight into mitigating or preventing injury.

Rapid Enkephalin Delivery Using Exosomes to Promote Neurons Recovery in Ischemic Stroke by Inhibiting Neuronal p53/Caspase-3. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2019; 2019:4273290.

Abstract
No pharmacological treatment is currently available to protect brain from neuronal damage after ischemic stroke. Recent studies found that enkephalin may play an important role in neuron regeneration. We assembled a homogeneous size vesicle constituted by transferrin, exosomes, and enkephalin. Immunofluorescence assay showed that transferrin was combined with the exosomes and enkephalin was packaged into the vesicle; thus this complex was called tar-exo-enkephalin. In vitro studies were performed using rat primary hippocampal neurons and the results showed that enkephalin decreased p53 and caspase-3 levels to 47.6% and 67.2%, respectively, compared to neurons treated with glutamate, thus inhibiting neuron apoptosis caused by glutamate. An in vivo experiment in rats was also carried out using a transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO)/reperfusion model and tar-exo-enkephalin treatment was performed after tMCAO. The results showed that tar-exo-enkephalin crossed the blood brain barrier (BBB) and decreased the levels of LDH, p53, caspase-3, and NO by 41.9, 52.6, 45.5, and 57.9% compared to the tMCAO rats, respectively. In addition, tar-exo-enkephalin improved brain neuron density and neurological score after tMCAO. These findings suggest that the use of exogenous enkephalin might promote neurological recovery after stroke.

Abstract
AIM Apelin, the ligand of the G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) APJ, exerts a post-conditioning-like protection against ischaemia/reperfusion injury through activation of PI3K-Akt-NO signalling. The pathway connecting APJ to PI3K is still unknown. As other GPCR ligands act through transactivation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) via a matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) or Src kinase, we investigated whether EGFR transactivation is involved in the following three features of apelin-induced cardioprotection: limitation of infarct size, suppression of contracture and improvement of post-ischaemic contractile recovery. METHOD Isolated rat hearts underwent 30 min of global ischaemia and 2 h of reperfusion. Apelin (0.5 μm) was infused during the first 20 min of reperfusion. EGFR, MMP or Src was inhibited to study the pathway connecting APJ to PI3K. Key components of RISK pathway, namely PI3K, guanylyl cyclase or mitochondrial K+ -ATP channels, were also inhibited. Apelin-induced EGFR and phosphatase and tensing homolog (PTEN) phosphorylation were assessed. Left ventricular pressure and infarct size were measured. RESULTS Apelin-induced reductions in infarct size and myocardial contracture were prevented by the inhibition of EGFR, Src, MMP or RISK pathway. The involvement of EGFR was confirmed by its phosphorylation. However, neither direct EGFR nor MMP inhibition affected apelin-induced improvement of early post-ischaemic contractile recovery, which was suppressed by Src and RISK inhibitors only. Apelin also increased PTEN phosphorylation, which was removed by Src inhibition. CONCLUSION While EGFR and MMP limit infarct size and contracture, Src or RISK pathway inhibition suppresses the three features of cardioprotection. Src does not only transactivate EGFR, but also inhibits PTEN by phosphorylation thus playing a crucial role in apelin-induced cardioprotection.

Abstract
The opioid receptor family, with associated endogenous ligands, has numerous roles throughout the body. Moreover, the delta opioid receptor (DORs) has various integrated roles within the physiological systems, including the cardiovascular system. While DORs are important modulators of cardiovascular autonomic balance, they are well-established contributors to cardioprotective mechanisms. Both endogenous and exogenous opioids acting upon DORs have roles in myocardial hibernation and protection against ischaemia-reperfusion (I-R) injury. Downstream signalling mechanisms governing protective responses alternate, depending on the timing and duration of DOR activation. The following review describes models and mechanisms of DOR-mediated cardioprotection, the impact of co-morbidities and challenges for clinical translation.

Abstract
Opioids are among the most effective analgesics available and are the first choice in the treatment of acute severe pain. However, partial efficacy, a tendency to produce tolerance, and a host of ill-tolerated side effects make clinically available opioids less effective in the management of chronic pain syndromes. Given that most therapeutic opioids produce their actions via µ-opioid receptors (MOPrs), other targets are constantly being explored, among which δ-opioid receptors (DOPrs) are being increasingly considered as promising alternatives. This review addresses DOPrs from the perspective of cellular and molecular determinants of their pharmacological diversity. Thus, DOPr ligands are examined in terms of structural and functional variety, DOPrs' capacity to engage a multiplicity of canonical and noncanonical G protein-dependent responses is surveyed, and evidence supporting ligand-specific signaling and regulation is analyzed. Pharmacological DOPr subtypes are examined in light of the ability of DOPr to organize into multimeric arrays and to adopt multiple active conformations as well as differences in ligand kinetics. Current knowledge on DOPr targeting to the membrane is examined as a means of understanding how these receptors are especially active in chronic pain management. Insight into cellular and molecular mechanisms of pharmacological diversity should guide the rational design of more effective, longer-lasting, and better-tolerated opioid analgesics for chronic pain management.

Abstract
Ischemic heart diseases are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Reperfusion of an ischemic heart is necessary to regain the normal functioning of the heart. However, abrupt reperfusion of an ischemic heart elicits a cascade of adverse events that leads to injury of the myocardium, i.e., ischemia-reperfusion injury. An endogenous powerful strategy to protect the ischemic heart is ischemic preconditioning, in which the myocardium is subjected to short periods of sublethal ischemia and reperfusion before the prolonged ischemic insult. However, it should be noted that the cardioprotective effect of preconditioning is attenuated in some pathological conditions. The aim of this article is to review present knowledge on how menopause and some metabolic disorders such as diabetes and hyperlipidemia affect myocardial ischemic preconditioning and the mechanisms involved.

Abstract
Morphine may induce cardioprotection by targeting mitochondria, but little is known about the exact mitochondrial events that mediate morphine's protection. We aimed to address the role of the mitochondrial Src tyrosine kinase in morphine's protection. Isolated rat hearts were subjected to 30 min ischemia and 2h of reperfusion. Morphine was given before the onset of ischemia. Infarct size and troponin I release were measured to evaluate cardiac injury. Oxidative stress was evaluated by measuring mitochondrial protein carbonylation and mitochondrial ROS generation. HL-1 cells were subjected to simulated ischemia/reperfusion and LDH release and mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) were measured. Morphine reduced infarct size as well as cardiac troponin I release which were aborted by the selective Src tyrosine kinase inhibitors PP2 and Src-I1. Morphine also attenuated LDH release and prevented a loss of ΔΨm at reperfusion in a Src tyrosine kinase dependent manner in HL-1 cells. However, morphine failed to reduce LDH release in HL-1 cells transfected with Src siRNA. Morphine increased mitochondrial Src phosphorylation at reperfusion and this was abrogated by PP2. Morphine attenuated mitochondrial protein carbonylation and mitochondrial superoxide generation at reperfusion through Src tyrosine kinase. The inhibitory effect of morphine on the mitochondrial complex I activity was reversed by PP2. These data suggest that morphine induces cardioprotection by preventing mitochondrial oxidative stress through mitochondrial Src tyrosine kinase. Inhibition of mitochondrial complex I at reperfusion by Src tyrosine kinase may account for the prevention of mitochondrial oxidative stress by morphine.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE β-Arrestins function as signal transducers linking GPCRs to ERK1/2 signalling either by scaffolding members of ERK1/2s cascades or by transactivating receptor tyrosine kinases through Src-mediated release of transactivating factor. Recruitment of β-arrestins to the activated GPCRs is required for ERK1/2 activation. Our previous studies showed that δ receptors activate ERK1/2 through a β-arrestin-dependent mechanism without inducing β-arrestin binding to the δ receptors. However, the precise mechanisms involved remain to be established. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH ERK1/2 activation by δ receptor ligands was assessed using HEK293 cells in vitro and male Sprague Dawley rats in vivo. Immunoprecipitation, immunoblotting, siRNA transfection, intracerebroventricular injection and immunohistochemistry were used to elucidate the underlying mechanism. KEY RESULTS We identified a new signalling pathway in which recruitment of β-arrestin2 to the EGFR rather than δ receptor was required for its role in δ receptor-mediated ERK1/2 activation in response to H-Tyr-Tic-Phe-Phe-OH (TIPP) or morphine stimulation. Stimulation of the δ receptor with ligands leads to the phosphorylation of PKCδ, which acts upstream of EGFR transactivation and is needed for the release of the EGFR-activating factor, whereas β-arrestin2 was found to act downstream of the EGFR transactivation. Moreover, we demonstrated that coupling of the PKCδ/EGFR/β-arrestin2 transactivation pathway to δ receptor-mediated ERK1/2 activation was ligand-specific and the Ser(363) of δ receptors was crucial for ligand-specific implementation of this ERK1/2 activation pathway. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS The δ receptor-mediated activation of ERK1/2 is via ligand-specific transactivation of EGFR. This study adds new insights into the mechanism by which δ receptors activate ERK1/2.

Abstract
Ischaemic heart disease (IHD) remains a major cause of morbidity/mortality globally, firmly established in Westernized or 'developed' countries and rising in prevalence in developing nations. Thus, cardioprotective therapies to limit myocardial damage with associated ischaemia-reperfusion (I-R), during infarction or surgical ischaemia, is a very important, although still elusive, clinical goal. The opioid receptor system, encompassing the δ (vas deferens), κ (ketocyclazocine) and μ (morphine) opioid receptors and their endogenous opioid ligands (endorphins, dynorphins, enkephalins), appears as a logical candidate for such exploitation. This regulatory system may orchestrate organism and organ responses to stress, induces mammalian hibernation and associated metabolic protection, triggers powerful adaptive stress resistance in response to ischaemia/hypoxia (preconditioning), and mediates cardiac benefit stemming from physical activity. In addition to direct myocardial actions, central opioid receptor signalling may also enhance the ability of the heart to withstand I-R injury. The δ- and κ-opioid receptors are strongly implicated in cardioprotection across models and species (including anti-infarct and anti-arrhythmic actions), with mixed evidence for μ opioid receptor-dependent protection in animal and human tissues. A small number of clinical trials have provided evidence of cardiac benefit from morphine or remifentanil in cardiopulmonary bypass or coronary angioplasty patients, although further trials of subtype-specific opioid receptor agonists are needed. The precise roles and utility of this GPCR family in healthy and diseased human myocardium, and in mediating central and peripheral survival responses, warrant further investigation, as do the putative negative influences of ageing, IHD co-morbidities, and relevant drugs on opioid receptor signalling and protective responses.

Abstract
Ischaemic pre- and postconditioning are potent cardioprotective interventions that spare ischaemic myocardium and decrease infarct size after periods of myocardial ischaemia/reperfusion. They are dependent on complex signalling pathways involving ligands released from ischaemic myocardium, G-protein-linked receptors, membrane growth factor receptors, phospholipids, signalling kinases, NO, PKC and PKG, mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium channels, reactive oxygen species, TNF-α and sphingosine-1-phosphate. The final effector is probably the mitochondrial permeability transition pore and the signalling produces protection by preventing pore formation. Many investigators have worked to produce a roadmap of this signalling with the hope that it would reveal where one could intervene to therapeutically protect patients with acute myocardial infarction whose hearts are being reperfused. However, attempts to date to show efficacy of such an intervention in large clinical trials have been unsuccessful. Reasons for this inability to translate successes in the experimental laboratory to the clinical arena are evaluated in this review. It is suggested that all patients with acute coronary syndromes currently presenting to the hospital and being treated with platelet P2Y12 receptor antagonists, the current standard of care, are indeed already benefiting from protection from the conditioning pathways outlined earlier. If that proves to be the case, then future attempts to further decrease infarction will have to rely on interventions which protect by a different mechanism.

Abstract
In patients with acute myocardial infarction, timely reperfusion is essential to limit infarct size. However, reperfusion also adds to myocardial injury. Brief episodes of ischaemia/reperfusion in the myocardium or on organ remote from the heart, before or shortly after sustained myocardial ischaemia effectively reduce infarct size, provided there is eventual reperfusion. Such conditioning phenomena have been established in many experimental studies and also translated to humans. The underlying signal transduction, that is the molecular identity of triggers, mediators and effectors, is not clear yet in detail, but several extracellular signalling molecules, such as adenosine, bradykinin and opioids, have been identified to contribute to cardioprotection by conditioning manoeuvres. Several trials have attempted the translation of cardioprotection by such autacoids into a clinical scenario of myocardial ischaemia and reperfusion. Adenosine and its selective agonists reduced infarct size in a few studies, but this benefit was not translated into improved clinical outcome. All studies with bradykinin or drugs which increase bradykinin's bioavailability reported reduced infarct size and some of them also improved clinical outcome. Synthetic opioid agonists did not result in a robust infarct size reduction, but this failure of translation may relate to the cardioprotective properties of the underlying anaesthesia per se or of the comparator drugs. The translation of findings in healthy, young animals with acute coronary occlusion/reperfusion to patients of older age, with a variety of co-morbidities and co-medications, suffering from different scenarios of myocardial ischaemia/reperfusion remains a challenge.

Abstract
Cells must continuously monitor and couple their metabolic requirements for ATP utilization with their ability to take up O2 for mitochondrial respiration. When O2 uptake and delivery move out of homeostasis, cells have elaborate and diverse sensing and response systems to compensate. In this review, we explore the biophysics of O2 and gas diffusion in the cell, how intracellular O2 is regulated, how intracellular O2 levels are sensed and how sensing systems impact mitochondrial respiration and shifts in metabolic pathways. Particular attention is paid to how O2 affects the redox state of the cell, as well as the NO, H2S, and CO concentrations. We also explore how these agents can affect various aspects of gas exchange and activate acute signaling pathways that promote survival. Two kinds of challenges to gas exchange are also discussed in detail: when insufficient O2 is available for respiration (hypoxia) and when metabolic requirements test the limits of gas exchange (exercising skeletal muscle). This review also focuses on responses to acute hypoxia in the context of the original "unifying theory of hypoxia tolerance" as expressed by Hochachka and colleagues. It includes discourse on the regulation of mitochondrial electron transport, metabolic suppression, shifts in metabolic pathways, and recruitment of cell survival pathways preventing collapse of membrane potential and nuclear apoptosis. Regarding exercise, the issues discussed relate to the O2 sensitivity of metabolic rate, O2 kinetics in exercise, and influences of available O2 on glycolysis and lactate production.

Abstract
Eribis peptide 94 (EP 94) is a novel enkephalin derivative that binds with high potency to μ and δ opioid receptors with less affinity for the κ opioid receptor. This compound has recently been shown to produce an acute reduction in myocardial infarct size in the anesthetized pig and rat partially via an endothelial nitric oxide synthase and KATP channel-dependent mechanism. EP 94 also was found to produce a chronic reduction in infarct size 24 hours postdrug administration via the upregulation of inducible nitric oxide synthase in rats. Despite these findings, no data have emerged in which the opioid receptor subtype responsible for cardioprotection has been identified and the site of action, heart, other peripheral organs, or the central nervous system, has not been addressed. In the current study, EP 94, was administered in 2 divided doses (0.5 μg/kg, intravenously) at 5 and 10 minutes into the ischemic period, and the opioid antagonists were administered 10 minutes before the onset of the 30-minute ischemic period. The selective antagonists used were the μ receptor antagonist CTOP (D-Phe-Cys-Tyr-D-Trp-Orn-Thr-Pen-Thr-NH2), the δ receptor antagonists naltrindole and BNTX (7-benzylidenenaltrexone), and the κ receptor antagonist nor-BNI (norbinaltorphimine). Surprisingly, only CTOP completely blocked the cardioprotective effect of EP 94, whereas naltrindole, BNTX, and nor-BNI had modest but nonsignificant effects. Because there is controversial evidence suggesting that μ receptors may be absent in the adult rat myocardium, it was hypothesized that the protective effect of EP 94 may be mediated by an action outside the heart, perhaps in the central nervous system. To test this hypothesis, rats were pretreated with the nonselective opioid antagonist, naloxone hydrochloride, which penetrates the blood-brain barrier or naloxone methiodide, the quaternary salt of naloxone hydrochloride, which does not penetrate the blood-brain barrier before EP 94 administration. In support of a central nervous system site of action for EP 94, naloxone hydrochloride completely blocked its cardioprotective effect, whereas naloxone methiodide had no effect. These results suggest that EP 94 reduces infarct size (expressed as a percent of the area at risk) in the rat primarily via activation of central μ opioid receptors.

Abstract
The present study further identified factors involved in the cardioprotective phenomenon of remote preconditioning of trauma (RPCT) with special emphasis on the role of the epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) in mediating this phenomenon. Remote preconditioning of trauma was produced by an abdominal incision only through the skin. Subsequently, all rats were subjected to 30 minutes of left coronary artery occlusion followed by 2 hours of reperfusion and the infarct size was determined. Remote preconditioning of trauma produced a reduction in infarct size expressed as a percentage of the area at risk from 63.0% ± 1.1% to 44.7% ± 1.4%; P < .01 versus control. To test the 3 major triggers of classical preconditioning in mediating RPCT, blockers of the bradykinin B2 receptor (B2BK), (S)-4-[2-[Bis(cyclohexylamino)methyleneamino]-3-(2-naphthalenyl)-1-oxopropylamino]benzyl tributyl phosphonium (WIN 64338, 1 mg/kg, iv), or HOE 140 (50 μg/kg, iv), the nonselective opioid receptor blocker, naloxone (3 mg/kg, iv), or the adenosine A1 receptor blocker, 8-Cyclopentyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine (DPCPX, 1 mg/kg, iv) were administered 10 minutes prior to RPCT. Only the 2 B2BK selective antagonists blocked RPCT (60.2% ± 1.1%, WIN 64338; 62.3% ± 2.0%, HOE 140). To test EETs in RPCT, we administered the EET receptor antagonist 14,15-Epoxyeicosa-5(Z)-enoic acid (14,15-EEZE, 2.5 mg/kg, iv) or the EET synthesis inhibitor, N-(Methylsulfonyl)-2-(2-propynyloxy)-benzenehexanamide (MSPPOH, 3.0 mg/kg, iv) 10 minutes prior to RPCT. In both groups, the EET antagonists completely blocked RPCT (62.0% ± 0.8%, 14,15-EEZE; 61.8% ± 1.0%, MSPPOH). The EET antagonists also blocked the effect of B2BK activation. We also determined whether the sarcolemmal K(ATP) or the mitochondrial K(ATP) channel mediate RPCT by pretreating rats with 1-[5-[2-(5-Chloro-o-anisamido)ethyl]-2-methoxyphenyl]sulfonyl-3 methylthiourea, sodium salt (HMR 1098) or 5-hydroxydecanoic acid (5-HD), respectively. Interestingly, 5-HD blocked RPCT (64.7% ± 1.3%), whereas, HMR 1098 did not (50.3% ± 1.3%). The 2 EET antagonists completely blocked capsaicin-induced cardioprotection. These results clearly suggest that EETs mediate RPCT-, bradykinin- and capsaicin-induced cardioprotection in rat hearts.

Abstract
Mitochondria represent approximately one-third of the mass of the heart and play a critical role in maintaining cellular function-however, they are also a potent source of free radicals and pro-apoptotic factors. As such, maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis is essential to cell survival. As the dominant source of ATP, continuous quality control is mandatory to ensure their ongoing optimal function. Mitochondrial quality control is accomplished by the dynamic interplay of fusion, fission, autophagy, and mitochondrial biogenesis. This review examines these processes in the heart and considers their role in the context of ischemia-reperfusion injury. Interventions that modulate mitochondrial turnover, including pharmacologic agents, exercise, and caloric restriction are discussed as a means to improve mitochondrial quality control, ameliorate cardiovascular dysfunction, and enhance longevity.

Abstract
GGA (geranylgeranoic acid) is a natural polyprenoic acid, derivatives of which has been shown to prevent second primary hepatoma. GGA induces mitochondria-mediated PCD (programmed cell death), which may be relevant to cancer prevention. To gain further insights into GGA-induced PCD, autophagy processes were examined in human hepatoma-derived HuH-7 cells. Treatment of HuH-7/GFP (green fluorescent protein)–LC3 cells with GGA induced green fluorescent puncta in the cytoplasm within 30 min and their massive accumulation at 24 h. After 15 min of GGA treatment, a burst of mitochondrial superoxide production occurred and LC3β-I was appreciably converted into LC3β-II. GGA-induced early stages of autophagy were unequivocally confirmed by electron-microscopic observation of early/initial autophagic vacuoles. On the other hand, LC3β-II as well as p62/SQSTM1 (sequestosome 1) continuously accumulated and co-localized in the cytoplasmic puncta after GGA treatment. Furthermore, GGA treatment of HuH-7/mRFP (monomeric red fluorescent protein)–GFP–LC3 cells showed yellow fluorescent puncta, whereas glucose deprivation of the cells gave red fluorescent puncta. These results strongly suggest that GGA induces the initial phase of autophagy, but blocks the maturation process of autolysosomes or late stages of autophagy, insomuch that GGA provides substantial accumulation of autophagosomes under serum-starvation conditions in human hepatoma cells.

Abstract
Delta opioid receptor (DOR) is essential for neuronal survival against hypoxic/ischemic damages. However, current understanding on how DOR activation affects astrocytic functions under ischemia remains incomplete. The present study investigated the astroglial responses to [d-Ala2, d-Leu5] enkephalin (DADLE) (a selective DOR agonist)-induced DOR activation after global cerebral ischemia. Adult male rats were preimplanted with intracerebral cannula and subjected to global ischemia for 10 min. The rats were divided into four groups: normal group (without any procedure), sham group (sham procedure with intracerebroventricular injection of ACSF), I/R group (ischemia procedure with intracerebroventricular injection of ACSF) and DAD-treated group (ischemia procedure with intracerebroventricular injection of DADLE). Hippocampal CA1 neuronal survival and activation of astrocytes were measured in the animals at 72 h post-ischemia. The distribution and phenotypes of p-Akt and active caspase-3 were also determined. The ischemic injury resulted in a significant neuronal loss and an increase in the dying astrocytes in the hippocampal CA1 region as compared with those in the sham animals (200.7±22.7/mm(2) vs. 6.6±3.1/mm(2), P<0.001). Improved neuronal survival in the DAD-treated animals was evident, which was accompanied by less dying astrocytes and enhanced astrocytes reaction with more active astrocytes than that in the I/R group (267.6±13.2/mm(2) vs. 157.0±18.1/mm(2), P<0.01) and a significantly increased immunoreactivity of p-Akt. However, the active caspase-3 positive cells were also evident in DAD-treated group (313.0±23.1/mm(2)) and significantly increased as compared with those of the sham group (159.0±15.8/mm(2), P<0.001) or I/R group (193.6±26.2/mm(2), P<0.01). Most of the active caspase-3-expressing cells were colabeled with glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), an astrocytes marker. We conclude that the post-ischemic treatment with DADLE promotes beneficial astrocytes activation and induces astroglial apoptosis 72 h after reperfusion which may be involved in reducing their harmful effect to neurons survival.

Abstract
One of the greatest examples of integrated signal transduction is revealed by examination of effects mediated by AKT kinase in myocardial biology. Positioned at the intersection of multiple afferent and efferent signals, AKT exemplifies a molecular sensing node that coordinates dynamic responses of the cell in literally every aspect of biological responses. The balanced and nuanced nature of homeostatic signaling is particularly essential within the myocardial context, where regulation of survival, energy production, contractility, and response to pathological stress all flow through the nexus of AKT activation or repression. Equally important, the loss of regulated AKT activity is primarily the cause or consequence of pathological conditions leading to remodeling of the heart and eventual decompensation. This review presents an overview compendium of the complex world of myocardial AKT biology gleaned from more than a decade of research. Summarization of the widespread influence that AKT exerts upon myocardial responses leaves no doubt that the participation of AKT in molecular signaling will need to be reckoned with as a seemingly omnipresent regulator of myocardial molecular biological responses.

Abstract
Transactivation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) may contribute to specific protective responses (e.g. mediated by δ-opioid, bradykinin, or muscarinic receptors). No studies have assessed EGFR involvement in cardioprotection mediated by adenosine receptors (ARs), and the role of EGFR in ischemic preconditioning (IPC) is unclear. We tested EGFR, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP), and heparin-binding EGF (HB-EGF) dependencies of functional protection via A1AR agonism or IPC. Pretreatment of mouse hearts with 100 nM of A1AR agonist 2-chloro- N6-cyclopentyladenosine (CCPA) or IPC (3 × 1.5-min ischemia/2-min reperfusion) substantially improved recovery from 25-min ischemia, reducing left ventricular diastolic dysfunction up to 50% and nearly doubling pressure development and positive change in pressure over time (+dP/d t). Benefit with both CCPA and IPC was eliminated by inhibitors of EGFR tyrosine kinase (0.3 μM AG1478), MMP (0.3 μM GM6001), or HB-EGF ligand (0.3 ng/ml CRM197), none of which independently altered postischemic outcome. Phosphorylation of myocardial EGFR, Erk1/2, and Akt increased two- to threefold during A1AR agonism, with responses blocked by AG1478, GM6001, and CRM197. Studies in HL-1 myocytes confirm A1AR-dependent Erk1/2 phosphorylation is negated by AG1478 or GM6001, and reduced with CRM197 (as was Akt activation). These data collectively reveal that A1AR- and IPC-mediated functional protection is entirely EGFR and MMP dependent, potentially involving the HB-EGF ligand. Myocardial survival kinase activation (Erk1/2, Akt) by A1AR agonism is similarly MMP/HB-EGF/EGFR dependent. Thus MMP-mediated EGFR activation appears essential to cardiac protection and signaling via A1ARs and preconditioning.

Abstract
Preconditioning with selective delta opioid peptide [d-Ala2, d-Leu5] enkephalin (DADLE) provides ischemic tolerance following transient forebrain ischemia in rats. However, whether DADLE postconditioning retains its neuroprotective efficacy and the underlying molecular mechanism in ischemic brain is largely unknown. We investigated DADLE postconditioning protection of hippocampal CA1 neurons against transient forebrain ischemia. 6 days after being implanted with cannula at the right lateral ventricle, rats underwent 10 min of forebrain ischemia by four vessel occlusion. Hippocampal CA1 neuronal survival and degeneration were measured in the hippocampi of rats at 3 days after ischemia. The behavioral and cognitive improvements of DADLE treatment in rats were also evaluated on days 5-9 using open-field and Morris water maze tests. The results showed that DADLE at doses of 0.25 and 2.5 nmol, but not 25 nmol, could significantly protect CA1 neurons against ischemia/reperfusion injury. Co-administration with the delta-opioid receptor antagonist naltrindole or pretreatment with the Akt antagonist LY294002 completely abolished the DADLE postconditioning effect. Furthermore, DADLE postconditioning exhibited cognitive benefits in rats with transient forebrain ischemia. The study thus suggested a therapeutic opportunity of postconditioning neuroprotection by DADLE and also provided important information in understanding the mechanism of DADLE action in the ischemic brain.

Abstract
A series of brief ischemia/reperfusion cycles (termed ischemic preconditioning, IPC) limits myocardial injury produced by a subsequent prolonged period of coronary artery occlusion and reperfusion. Over the last 2 decades our understanding of IPC's mechanism has increased exponentially. Hearts exposed to IPC have a better metabolic and ionic status during prolonged ischemia compared to naïve hearts. However, this difference is not thought to be the main mechanism by which IPC protects against infarction. Signaling pathways that are activated by IPC distinguish IPC hearts from naïve hearts. During the trigger phase of IPC, adenosine, bradykinin and opioid receptors are occupied. Although these three receptors trigger signaling through divergent pathways, the signaling converges on protein kinase C. We have proposed that at the end of the index ischemia the activated PKC sensitizes the low-affinity A(2b) adenosine receptor (A(2b)AR) through phosphorylation of either the receptor or its coupling proteins so that A(2b)AR can be activated by endogenous adenosine released by the previously ischemic cardiomyocytes. The sensitized A(2b)AR would then be responsible for activation of the survival kinases including PI3 kinase, Akt and ERK which then act to inhibit lethal mitochondrial permeability transition pore formation which normally uncouples mitochondria and destroys many myocytes in the first minutes of reperfusion. Herein we review the evidence for the above mechanisms and their functional details.

Abstract
Bradykinin is produced and acts at the site of injury and inflammation. Recent reports have also shown that bradykinin selectively modulates blood-tumor barrier permeability. However, the molecular mechanisms and pathologic roles underlying bradykinin-induced glioma migration remain unclear. Glioma is the most common primary adult brain tumor, with a poor prognosis because of the ease with which tumor cells spread to other regions of the brain. In this study, we found that bradykinin increases the cell migration and expression of cyclo-oxygenase-2 (COX-2) in glioma cells. Bradykinin-mediated migration was attenuated by the selective COX-2 inhibitor NS-398. Moreover, increased motility of glioma cells and expression of COX-2 were mimicked by a bradykinin B1 receptor (B1R) agonist and markedly inhibited by a B1R antagonist. Bradykinin-mediated migration was attenuated by phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI-3 kinase)/AKT inhibitors LY 294002 and wortmannin. Bradykinin stimulation also increased the phosphorylation of the p85 subunit of PI-3 kinase and serine 473 of AKT. Treatment of bradykinin with AP-1 inhibitors Tanshinone IIA and curcumin also reduced COX-2 expression and glioma cell migration. Moreover, treatment of bradykinin also induced phosphorylation of c-Jun in glioma cells. AP-1 promoter analysis in the luciferase reporter construct showed that bradykinin increased AP-1 transcription activity and was inhibited by LY 294002 and wortmannin. One mechanism underlying bradykinin-directed migration is transcriptional up-regulation of COX-2 and activation of the B1R receptor, PI-3 kinase, AKT, c-Jun, and AP-1 pathways.

Abstract
Multiple cardioprotective signal pathways that are activated by ischaemic preconditioning (IPC) and those by IPC mimetics converge on mitochondria. Recent studies have shown that pools of Akt, protein kinase C-ε, extracellular-regulated kinases, glycogen synthase kinase-3beta (GSK-3beta), and hexokinases (HK) I and II, are localized in mitochondria in addition to their pools in the cytosol. Accumulating evidence indicates that such 'mitochondrial protein kinases' receive signals from cytosolic molecules and enhance tolerance of myocytes to injury. Proteomic analyses suggest that these kinases form complexes with each other and with subunit proteins of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP). Functional relationships between the protein kinases in mitochondria have not been fully clarified, but GSK-3beta and HKs appear to be at the end of the signal pathways and directly responsible for inhibition of opening of the mPTP and, thus, for myocyte protection from necrosis. In this review, recent findings supporting roles of mitochondrial protein kinases in protection from myocardial necrosis after ischaemia/reperfusion are summarized and discussed.

Abstract
AIM The endogenous autacoid bradykinin (BK) reportedly reduces myocardial infarct size when given exogenously at reperfusion. Muscarinic and opioid G-protein-coupled receptors are equally protective and have been shown to couple through a matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-dependent transactivation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Here we test whether BK protects the rat heart through the EGFR by an MMP-dependent pathway. METHODS Infarct size was measured in isolated perfused rat hearts undergoing 30 min regional ischaemia followed by 120 min reperfusion. In additional studies HL-1 cardiomyocytes were loaded with tetramethylrhodamine ethyl to measure their mitochondrial membrane potential (Psim). Adding the calcium ionophore calcimycin, causes Psim-collapse presumably due to calcium-induced mitochondrial permeability transition. RESULTS As expected, BK (100 nmol L(-1)) started 5 min prior to reperfusion reduced infarct size from 38.9 +/- 2.0% of the ischaemic zone in control hearts to 22.2 +/- 3.3% (P < 0.001). Co-infusing the EGFR inhibitor AG1478, the broad-spectrum MMP-inhibitor GM6001, or a highly selective MMP-8 inhibitor abolished BK's protection, thus suggesting an MMP-8-dependent EGFR transactivation in the signalling. Eighty minutes of exposure to calcimycin reduced the mean cell fluorescence to 37.4 +/- 1.8% of untreated cells while BK could partly preserve the fluorescence and, hence, protect the cells (50.5 +/- 2.3%, P < 0.001). The BK-induced mitochondrial protection could again be blocked by AG1478, GM6001 and MMP-8 inhibitor. Finally, Western blotting revealed that BK's protection was correlated with increased phosphorylation of EGFR and its downstream target Akt. CONCLUSION These results indicate that BK at reperfusion triggers its protective signalling pathway through MMP-8-dependent transactivation of the EGFR.

Abstract
The central role of mitochondria as mediators of cell survival is indisputable and gathering increasing attention as a focal point for interventional strategies to mitigate apoptotic cell death in the wake of cardiomyopathic injury. A legacy of signal transduction studies has proven that mitochondrial integrity can be enhanced by kinases involved in cell survival. Among the many survival signaling cascades under investigation, the wide-ranging impact of Akt upon mitochondrial biology is well known. However, despite years of investigation, emerging research continues to reveal new mechanisms governing the protective effects of Akt signaling in the context of cardiomyocyte mitochondria. This review focuses on two emerging pathways that mediate preservation of mitochondrial function downstream of Akt: hexokinase and Pim-1 kinase.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is a major contributory factor to cardiac dysfunction and infarct size that determines patient prognosis after acute myocardial infarction. During the last 20 years, since the appearance of the first publication on ischemic preconditioning (IP), our knowledge of this phenomenon has increased exponentially. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION Basic scientific experiments and preliminary clinical trials in humans suggest that IP confers resistance to subsequent sustained ischemic insults not only in the regional tissue but also in distant organs (remote ischemic preconditioning), which may provide a simple, cost-effective means of reducing the risk of perioperative myocardial ischemia. The mechanism may be humoral, neural, or a combination of both, and involves adenosine, bradykinin, protein kinases and K(ATP) channels, although the precise end-effector remains unclear. This review describes different signaling pathways involved in acute ischemic preconditioning in detail.

Abstract
Ischemic preconditioning (PC) suppresses chemical coupling of cardiomyocytes via gap junctions (GJs) during ischemia, which is an adjunct mechanism of protection. The aim of this study was to characterize roles of protein kinases in PC-induced GJ modulation. In isolated rat hearts, ventricular tissues were sampled before and after ischemia with or without PC, and intercalated disc-rich fractions were separated for immunoprecipitation and immunoblotting. Levels of protein kinase C (PKC)-ε, p38mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)-α, and Src coimmunoprecipitated with connexin-43 (Cx43) were increased after ischemia, whereas p38MAPKβ was not detected in the Cx43 immunoprecipitates. PC did not modify the level of Cx43-Src complex after ischemia. However, PC enhanced Cx43-PKCε complex formation, which was abolished by PKCε translocation inhibitory peptide (TIP). In contrast, PC reduced Cx43-p38MAPKα complex level and p38MAPK activity in the Cx43 immunoprecipitates after ischemia. The effect of PC on Cx43-p38MAPKα interaction was mimicked by SB-203580, a p38MAPK inhibitor. PC reduced permeability of GJs to Lucifer yellow in the myocardium at 25 min after ischemia, and this effect was abolished by PKCε-TIP. SB-203580 increased the GJ permeability at 15 min after ischemia compared with that in untreated controls, but the difference became insignificant 25 min after ischemia. In conclusion, PC has distinct effects on interaction of GJ Cx43 with PKCε, p38MAPKα, and Src during ischemia. Suppression of GJ permeability during ischemia by PC is primarily achieved by enhanced interaction of Cx43 with PKCε, which overwhelms the counterbalancing effect of reduced Cx43-p38MAPKα interaction.
