Drug development targeting the glycogen synthase kinase-3beta (GSK-3beta)-mediated signal transduction pathway: role of GSK-3beta in myocardial protection against ischemia/reperfusion injury Miura T; Nishihara M; Miki TJ Pharmacol Sci 2009[Feb]; 109 (2): 162-7Although reperfusion is required to salvage ischemic myocardium from necrosis, reperfusion per se induces myocardial necrosis. In this "lethal reperfusion injury", opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) upon reperfusion is crucially involved. The mPTP primarily consists of adenine nucleotide translocator (ANT) and voltage-dependent anion channel, and its opening is triggered by binding of cyclophilin-D (CyP-D) to ANT, which increases Ca(2+) sensitivity of the mPTP. Recent studies have shown that inactivation of glycogen synthase kinase-3beta (GSK-3beta) suppresses mPTP opening and protects cardiomyocytes. Multiple intracellular signals relevant to cardiomyocyte protection converge to GSK-3beta and inactivate this kinase by phosphorylation. Although the effect of GSK-3beta phosphorylation on mPTP structure and function remains unclear, suppression of ANT-CyP-D interaction by binding of phospho-GSK-3beta to ANT and reduction in GSK-3beta-mediated phosphorylation of p53 may contribute to elevation of the threshold for mPTP opening. Furthermore, a significant inverse correlation was observed between level of phospho-GSK-3beta at the time of reperfusion and the extent of myocardium infarction in heart. Together with the infarct size-limiting effect of GSK-3beta inhibitors, this finding indicates that phospho-GSK-3beta is a determinant of myocardial tolerance against reperfusion-induced necrosis. Thus, GSK-3beta appears to be a target of novel therapy for cardioprotection upon reperfusion.|Animals[MESH]|Drug Delivery Systems[MESH]|Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3/*metabolism[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Mitochondrial Membrane Transport Proteins/physiology[MESH]|Mitochondrial Permeability Transition Pore[MESH]|Myocardial Infarction/prevention & control[MESH]|Myocytes, Cardiac/metabolism/*pathology[MESH]|Necrosis/physiopathology/prevention & control[MESH]|Rats[MESH]|Reperfusion Injury/*prevention & control[MESH]|Signal Transduction[MESH] |
