Role of Phosphorylated AMP-Activated Protein Kinase (AMPK) in Myocardial Insulin Resistance After Myocardial Ischemia-Reperfusion During Cardiopulmonary Bypass Surgery in Dogs.
    Medical science monitor : international medical journal of experimental and clinical research, 2019, Jun-04, Volume: 25

    BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to determine the role of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in myocardial insulin resistance after myocardial ischemia-reperfusion during cardiopulmonary bypass surgery in dogs. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty-four mongrel dogs were randomly assigned to 4 groups. The control group did not undergo aortic cross-clamping; the model group underwent 60 mins of aortic cross-clamping with 150 ml cardioplegic solution. The treatment group, the inhibition group respectively with 0.11mg/kg AICAR (AMPK agonist) in 150 ml cardioplegic solution and 0.11mg/kg Compound C (AMPK inhibitor) in 150 ml cardioplegic solution. The blood flow was determined and left ventricular myocardial tissue were taken at pre-bypass, 15, 60, and 90 min after aorta declamping, respectively. Expression of AMPK mRNA, p-AMPK and GLUT-4 proteins was determined by RT-PCR, IHC and WB. RESULTS Compared with the control group, receiving 60 min ischemia at 15 min after reperfusion, Myocardial Glucose Extraction Ratio were significantly decreased in the other 3 groups, it was significantly decreased from 20.0% to 1.2% at 60 min of reperfusion, and recovered to 6.1% after 90 min reperfusion in model group, while recovered to 4.1%, 12.0% after 90 min reperfusion respectively exposed to Compound C and AICAR. The expressions of p-AMPK, GLUT-4 protein and AMPK mRNA in myocardium were decreased in different experiment groups, but these changes occurred to a lesser extent in the treatment group. CONCLUSIONS The inability of GLUT-4 expression induced by the decreases in p-AMPK protein expression that may be one of the reasons for myocardial insulin resistance.

Calcitonin gene-related peptide promotes angiogenesis via AMP-activated protein kinase.
    American journal of physiology. Cell physiology, 2010, Volume: 299, Issue:6

    Ischemia induces angiogenesis as a compensatory response. Although ischemia is known to causes synthesis and release of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), it is not clear whether CGRP regulates angiogenesis under ischemia and how does it function. Thus we investigated the role of CGRP in angiogenesis and the involved mechanisms. We found that CGRP level was increased in the rat hindlimb ischemic tissue. The expression of exogenous CGRP by adenovirus vectors enhanced blood flow recovery and increased capillary density in ischemic hindlimbs. In vitro, CGRP promoted human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) tube formation and migration. Further more, CGRP activated AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) both in vivo and in vitro, and pharmacological inhibition of CGRP and cAMP attenuated the CGRP-activated AMPK in vitro. CGRP also induced endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) phosphorylation in HUVECs at Ser1177 and Ser633 in a time-dependent manner, and such effects were abolished by AMPK inhibitor Compound C. As well, Compound C blocked CGRP-enhanced HUVEC tube formation and migration. These findings indicate that CGRP promotes angiogenesis by activating the AMPK-eNOS pathway in endothelial cells.

Caloric restriction stimulates revascularization in response to ischemia via adiponectin-mediated activation of endothelial nitric-oxide synthase.
    The Journal of biological chemistry, 2009, Jan-16, Volume: 284, Issue:3

    Caloric restriction (CR) can extend longevity and modulate the features of obesity-related metabolic and vascular diseases. However, the functional roles of CR in regulation of revascularization in response to ischemia have not been examined. Here we investigated whether CR modulates vascular response by employing a murine hindlimb ischemia model. Wild-type (WT) mice were randomly divided into two groups that were fed either ad libitum (AL) or CR (65% of the diet consumption of AL). Four weeks later, mice were subjected to unilateral hindlimb ischemic surgery. Body weight of WT mice fed CR (CR-WT) was decreased by 26% compared with WT mice fed AL (AL-WT). Revascularization of ischemic hindlimb relative to the contralateral limb was accelerated in CR-WT compared with AL-WT as evaluated by laser Doppler blood flow and capillary density analyses. CR-WT mice had significantly higher plasma levels of the fat-derived hormone adiponectin compared with AL-WT mice. In contrast to WT mice, CR did not affect the revascularization of ischemic limbs of adiponectin-deficient (APN-KO) mice. CR stimulated the phosphorylation of endothelial nitric-oxide synthase (eNOS) in the ischemic limbs of WT mice. CR increased plasma adiponectin levels in eNOS-KO mice but did not stimulate limb perfusion in this strain. CR-WT mice showed enhanced phosphorylation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in ischemic muscle, and administration of AMPK inhibitor compound C abolished CR-induced increase in limb perfusion and eNOS phosphorylation in WT mice. Our observations indicate that CR can promote revascularization in response to tissue ischemia via an AMPK-eNOS-dependent mechanism that is mediated by adiponectin.
