After Gin-Re treatment, the phosphorylation of FAK, PI3K p110α and Akt was enhanced in MI rats, while PI3K p110β showed no difference compared with the MI group.
The knockout MI group had elevated levels of glycogen synthase kinase (GSK) 3β and decreased phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), phosphorylated serine/threonine protein kinase B (p-Akt), and cyclin D1, compared with the wildtype MI group.
As lithium, a PI3K agonist, is highly toxic at regular doses, we assessed the effect of lithium at a lower dose on ventricular hypertrophy after myocardial infarction (MI).
In the present study, we aimed to explore whether targeted regulation of sympathetic activity in PVN could reduce the peripheral sympathoexcitatory and attenuate the ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) in myocardial infarction (MI) rats via PI3K-AKT pathway.
We therefore considered the possibility that selectively inhibiting proinflammatory PI3K isoforms during the reperfusion phase could ultimately limit overall tissue damage seen in ischemia/reperfusion injuries such as myocardial infarction.
In addition, compared with the MI group, the expression of signaling proteins PI3K, Akt, p38mapk and AMPK was significantly altered in the MI-CMT and MI-HIT groups.
The current study tests the hypothesis that GPR30 reduces myocardial infarct area and fibrosis in female ovariectomized (OVX) mice by activating the PI3K/AKT pathway.
