Adrenomedullin Infusion Attenuates Myocardial Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury Through the Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase/Akt-Dependent Pathway

Abstract: Background-Infusion of adrenomedullin (AM) has beneficial hemodynamic effects in patients with heart failure.However, the effect of AM on myocardial ischemia/reperfusion remains unknown. Methods and Results-Male Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to a 30-minute period of ischemia induced by ligation of the left coronary artery. They were randomized to receive AM, AM plus wortmannin (a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase [PI3K] inhibitor), or saline for 60 minutes after coronary ligation. Hemodynamics and infarct size … Show more

“…Additionally, although total PI3K blockade might be detrimental to tissue survival, the same is not necessarily true for isoform-specific intervention. For example, wortmannin eliminates the cardioprotective effects of numerous agents including insulin (29), IGF1 (30), erythropoietin (31), adrenomedullin (32), and opioids (33), as well as both ischemic pre-and postconditioning (23,34), demonstrating the potential for at least some PI3K isoforms to ameliorate ischemic tissue damage. Transgenic mice overexpressing a kinase-inactive PI3K␥ in their cardiomyocytes, however, develop equivalent sized infarcts, as do wild-type mice (24), suggesting this isoform at least is not requisite for balancing cardiomyocyte survival.…”

“…AM-induced vasodilatation and myocardial protection is mediated through the activation of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)͞Akt-dependent pathway (15,16). The phosphorylation of Akt in DRG is involved in the maintenance of inflammatory pain caused by intraplantar injection of capsaicin (17).…”
