Kardioprotektivní úloha adaptací na hypoxii a chlad: Konexín 43 a hexokináza 2

Kohútová, Jana

Ventricular arrhythmias are the main cause of death worldwide. An increased incidence of arrhythmias in the heart of mammals is accompanied by a remodeling of the cellular distribution gap between the channels of mainly connexin 43 (Cx43). Recently has been demonstrated significant effect of mitochondria and their association with arrhythmogenesis. Various pathological conditions alter the expression and / or distribution of Cx43, depending on the phosphorylation status. but also on altering the association of hexokinase with mitochondria, which reduces the likelihood of apoptosis activation. Adaptation to intermittent hypobaric hypoxia potentiates endogenous pathways reducing the incidence of ventricular arteries, whereas continuous normobaric hypoxia does not have this effect. Another studied model is cold acclimatization, which has been known for several decades by known effects on human health. However, the heart study of these models in relation to Cx43 is missing. Our goal was to determine the expression of Cx43, phosphorylated Cx43 (p-Cx43) and hexokinase (HK1, HK2) and their distribution in cardiomyocytes. In addition, the expression of Cx43 upstream kinases, protein kinase A, protein kinase G, casein kinase 1 in normoxic and hypoxic left ventricles of rats, along with Cx43 distribution...
