NUCLEAR AND MITOCHONDRIAL TRANSLOCATION OF PHOSPHORYLATED PKC Delta ASSOCIATES WITH TUNEL-POSITIVE AND UROCORTIN NEGATIVE STAINING IN THE HUMAN HEART FROM DIABETIC PATIENTS UNDERGOING ON-PUMP CARDIAC SURGERY
Aim: Molecular mechanisms responsible for the reported worse outcome of diabetic patients (DMP) after on-pump cardiac surgery (OPCS) remain unknown. Opposite effects have been reported for Urocortin (Ucn)/PKC epsilon and PKC delta , the former being cardio-protective and the latter pro-apoptotic. We...

Zusammenfassung: | Aim: Molecular mechanisms responsible for the reported worse outcome of diabetic patients (DMP) after on-pump cardiac surgery (OPCS) remain unknown. Opposite effects have been reported for Urocortin (Ucn)/PKC epsilon and PKC delta , the former being cardio-protective and the latter pro-apoptotic. We investigated the role of PKC epsilon and PKC delta in Ucn-induced cardio-protection in DMP and non-diabetic patients (NDMP) after OPCS. Methods and Results: Two sequential biopsies were obtained from the right atrium of 27 DMP and 22 NDMP before Cardio-Pulmonary Bypass (CPB) and 10 minutes after declamping. In post-cardioplegic NDMP, Ucn was induced at both mRNA and protein levels (p |
