Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Insulin inhibits ischemia/reperfusion-induced myocardial apoptosis through the activation of a survival signaling cascade including the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-Akt pathway. However, the down-stream mechanism of PI3K remains elusive. This study is aimed at investigating whether survivin (SVV) plays a role in the insulin-induced anti-apoptotic effect in the ischemic/reperfused (I/R) hearts, and if so, further determining the signaling mechanism involved. Isolated adult rat hearts were subjected to 30 min regional ischemia followed by reperfusion with or without insulin (10(-7)mol/L) at the onset of reperfusion. Reperfusion with insulin inhibited myocardial apoptosis and reduced infarct size, along with significantly up-regulated myocardial SVV expression (5.9±0.3 Group MI/R+Ins vs. 2.1±0.1 Group MI/R, p<0.05) and increased phosphorylations of mTOR and p70S6K compared with I/R group, which was blocked by pretreatment of PI3K inhibitor LY294002. Rapamycin, a specific mTOR inhibitor, did not alter insulin-induced Akt phosphorylation but significantly inhibited SVV expression (from 6.1±0.3 to 3.0±0.15, p<0.05). Moreover, rapamycin blunted insulin-induced anti-apoptosis in the I/R hearts (8.1±0.4% vs. 16.5±1.8%, p<0.05). To further ascertain the role of SVV in insulin-induced cardioprotection, cardiomyocytes were transfected with adenovirus encoding SVV (gain-of-function) or siRNA targeting SVV (loss-of-function). Overexpression of SVV decreased I/R-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis in vitro, while siRNA targeting SVV significantly blunted the anti-apoptotic effect of insulin. Taken together, these results suggest a novel role of PI3K/Akt/mTOR/SVV signaling in the cardioprotective effect of insulin.
