Abstract |
In isolated, perfused adult rat hearts, global ischemia increased the phosphorylation of cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB) relative to control levels, and this phosphorylation was reversed with reperfusion. CREB phosphorylation elicited by 5 min of global ischemia was sensitive to treatments with the calcium-independent phospholipase A(2) ( iPLA(2)) inhibitor bromoenol lactone (BEL) and occurred in the absence of increases in myocardial cAMP content. In contrast, CREB phosphorylation elicited by 15 min of global ischemia was likely mediated by elevated cAMP levels. The expression of c-fos, in response to brief myocardial ischemia, was also sensitive to BEL treatment. The induction of iPLA(2)-mediated CREB phosphorylation was further substantiated by the observations that lysoplasmenylcholine increased both the phosphorylation of CREB and the induction of c-fos expression in the absence and presence of BEL. CREB phosphorylation in both ischemic hearts and lysoplasmenylcholine-perfused hearts was inhibited by pretreatment of hearts with the specific cAMP-dependent protein kinase ( PKA) inhibitor H-89. Taken together, these data demonstrate that iPLA(2) mediates CREB phosphorylation through a PKA-dependent pathway during brief periods of myocardial ischemia, possibly through the formation of lysophospholipids.
