Desflurane-induced and ischaemic postconditioning against myocardial infarction are mediated by Pim-1 kinase
Background
Anaesthetic-induced (APOST) and ischaemic postconditioning (IPOST) against myocardial infarction are mediated via phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase/Akt. Pim-1 kinase is acting downstream of Akt and has recently been demonstrated to enhance cardiomyocyte survival. We tested the hypothesis that both APOST and IPOST are mediated by Pim-1 kinase.

Methods
Pentobarbital-anaesthetized male C57BL/6 mice were subjected to 45-min coronary artery occlusion (CAO) and 3-h reperfusion. Animals received either no intervention, the Pim-1 kinase inhibitor II (10??g/g intraperitoneally) or its vehicle dimethy sulfoxide (10??l/g intraperitoneally). Three minutes prior to the end of CAO, 1.0 minimum alveolar concentration desflurane was administered for 18?min alone or in combination with Pim-1 kinase inhibitor II. IPOST was induced by three cycles of each 10-s ischaemia/reperfusion, and animals received either IPOST alone or in combination with Pim-1 kinase inhibitor II. Infarct size was determined with triphenyltetrazolium chloride and area at risk with Evans blue. Protein expression of Pim-1 kinase, Bad, phospho-BadSer112 and B-cell lymphoma 2 was determined using Western immunoblotting analysis.

Results
Infarct size in control animals (CON) was 46?±?3%. Dimethylsulfoxide (47?±?3%) and Pim-1 kinase inhibitor II (44?±?5%) did not significantly reduce infarct size. Desflurane (16?±?2%*; *P?<?0.05 vs. CON) and IPOST (21?±?2%*) significantly reduced infarct size compared with CON. Inhibition of Pim-1 kinase abolished desflurane-induced postconditioning (46?±?4%) and IPOST (44?±?5%). Western blot analysis revealed that only desflurane enhances phosphorylation of Bad at serine 112 that was abrogated by Pim-1 kinase inhibitor II.

Conclusion
These data suggest that Pim-1 kinase mediates both desflurane-induced postconditioning and IPOST in mice.

Abstract

Background
Anaesthetic-induced (APOST) and ischaemic postconditioning (IPOST) against myocardial infarction are mediated via phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase/Akt. Pim-1 kinase is acting downstream of Akt and has recently been demonstrated to enhance cardiomyocyte survival. We tested the hypothesis that both APOST and IPOST are mediated by Pim-1 kinase.

Methods
Pentobarbital-anaesthetized male C57BL/6 mice were subjected to 45-min coronary artery occlusion (CAO) and 3-h reperfusion. Animals received either no intervention, the Pim-1 kinase inhibitor II (10??g/g intraperitoneally) or its vehicle dimethy sulfoxide (10??l/g intraperitoneally). Three minutes prior to the end of CAO, 1.0 minimum alveolar concentration desflurane was administered for 18?min alone or in combination with Pim-1 kinase inhibitor II. IPOST was induced by three cycles of each 10-s ischaemia/reperfusion, and animals received either IPOST alone or in combination with Pim-1 kinase inhibitor II. Infarct size was determined with triphenyltetrazolium chloride and area at risk with Evans blue. Protein expression of Pim-1 kinase, Bad, phospho-BadSer112 and B-cell lymphoma 2 was determined using Western immunoblotting analysis.

Results
Infarct size in control animals (CON) was 46?±?3%. Dimethylsulfoxide (47?±?3%) and Pim-1 kinase inhibitor II (44?±?5%) did not significantly reduce infarct size. Desflurane (16?±?2%*; *P?<?0.05 vs. CON) and IPOST (21?±?2%*) significantly reduced infarct size compared with CON. Inhibition of Pim-1 kinase abolished desflurane-induced postconditioning (46?±?4%) and IPOST (44?±?5%). Western blot analysis revealed that only desflurane enhances phosphorylation of Bad at serine 112 that was abrogated by Pim-1 kinase inhibitor II.

Conclusion
These data suggest that Pim-1 kinase mediates both desflurane-induced postconditioning and IPOST in mice.
