We investigated the role of the 27-kDa heat shock protein (HSP27) in cardiac protection using Langendorff-perfused rat hearts. After preconditioning (a single episode of 5 min global ischemia followed by 5 min of reperfusion), HSP27 redistributed from the cytosol to the sarcomere and recovery of the contractile function, after 40 min of global ischemia and 50 min of reperfusion, was significantly enhanced. Both SB203580, a p38 MAP kinase inhibitor, and bisindolylmaleimide I, a protein kinase C inhibitor, prevented the effects of preconditioning. Both 2-chloro-N(6)-cyclopentyladenosine (adenosine A1 agonist) and anisomycin (activator of p38 MAP kinase and c-jun N-terminal kinase) mimicked preconditioning. These results suggest that activation of protein kinase C followed by activation of p38 MAP kinase elicits translocation of HSP27 to the sarcomere, a process which may be involved in the cardioprotective mechanism afforded by ischemic preconditioning in rat heart.

D008297 Male Males
D008301 Maleimides Derivatives of maleimide (the structural formula H2C2(CO)2NH) containing a pyrroledione ring where the hydrogen atom of the NH group is replaced with aliphatic or aromatic groups.
D009206 Myocardium The muscle tissue of the HEART. It is composed of striated, involuntary muscle cells (MYOCYTES, CARDIAC) connected to form the contractile pump to generate blood flow.

D009363 Neoplasm Proteins Proteins whose abnormal expression (gain or loss) are associated with the development, growth, or progression of NEOPLASMS. Some neoplasm proteins are tumor antigens (ANTIGENS, NEOPLASM), i.e. they induce an immune reaction to their tumor. Many neoplasm proteins have been characterized and are used as tumor markers (BIOMARKERS, TUMOR) when they are detectable in cells and body fluids as monitors for the presence or growth of tumors. Abnormal expression of ONCOGENE PROTEINS is involved in neoplastic transformation, whereas the loss of expression of TUMOR SUPPRESSOR PROTEINS is involved with the loss of growth control and progression of the neoplasm. Proteins, Neoplasm
D010477 Perfusion Treatment process involving the injection of fluid into an organ or tissue. Perfusions
D011493 Protein Kinase C An serine-threonine protein kinase that requires the presence of physiological concentrations of CALCIUM and membrane PHOSPHOLIPIDS. The additional presence of DIACYLGLYCEROLS markedly increases its sensitivity to both calcium and phospholipids. The sensitivity of the enzyme can also be increased by PHORBOL ESTERS and it is believed that protein kinase C is the receptor protein of tumor-promoting phorbol esters.
