Ethanol for cardiac ischemia: the role of protein kinase c

Abstract: The physiological effects of ethanol are dependent upon the amount and duration of consumption. Chronic excessive consumption can lead to diseases such as liver cirrhosis, and cardiac arrhythmias, while chronic moderate consumption can have therapeutic effects on the cardiovascular system. Recently, it has also been observed that acute administration of ethanol to animals prior to an ischemic event provides significant protection to the heart. This review focuses on the different modalities of chronic vs. acut… Show more

“…Thus, insufficient ethanol washout or metabolism prior to I/R may lead to accumulation of cytotoxic aldehydes that worsen postischemic tissue injury by inactivating enzymes and disrupting structural proteins through the formation of protein adducts [123,124,155]. It has also been suggested that ethanol may activate protein kinase C isoforms that play opposing roles in I/R, with effects dependent on ethanol dose and timing for response evaluations [155]. …”

“…Support for this concept is provided by the observation that pretreatment either with ethanol or with a PKCe activator before undergoing I/R resulted in the phosphorylation and thus activation of aldehyde dehydrogenase-2 (ALDH2), an effect that was inversely correlated to the extent of ischemic tissue damage [57]. These findings suggest that insufficient ethanol washout or metabolism prior to I/R may lead to accumulation of cytotoxic aldehydes that worsen postischemic tissue injury by inactivating enzymes and disrupting structural proteins through the formation of protein adducts [65,66,259,260].
