| Abstract | We studied protein kinase C (PKC) isozyme expression and activity distribution in two models of chronically ischemic canine myocardium: (1) single vessel obstruction (SVO), produced by tight stenosis of LAD followed by preconditioning and acute ischemia (40 min); (2) three vessel obstruction (3VO), produced by LAD-stenosis and gradual occlusion of right coronary artery and left circumflex. In both models after 8 weeks of chronic ischemia the dogs were either sacrificed or had PTCA of the LAD with a follow up of another 4 weeks. Control dogs were sham operated. PKC activity was measured in subcellular fractions of tissue samples from anterior and posterior regions in the presence of histone and γ-[$^{32}$P]-ATP. PKC isozymes were detected by Western blotting. All regions perfused by the obstructed coronaries were dysfunctional at 8 weeks when compared to baseline, with improvement of anterior wall function after PTCA of LAD. PKC activity was elevated in the membrane fraction of SVO, but unchanged in the 3VO model. PKCs α, ε, and ζ prevailed in cytosol fraction of the controls (cytosol/membrane ratios were ± 3.34, 1.38 and 4.56 for α, ε and ζ, respectively), consistent with PKC activity distribution, while δ was not detected. There was no significant difference between the groups concerning the relative membrane amount of the isozymes. PKCs α and ε were decreased in the cytosol fraction of both models at 8 weeks (for anterior region, by 56 and 57% in SVO and by 49 and 46% in 3VO, respectively) without there being any differences between anterior and posterior regions, and were low also in the PTCA group. PKC ζ distribution however varied between the two models. The amount of PKC ζ isozyme was downregulated by 45% after 8 weeks of chronic ischemia and returned towards the control values after PTCA in the anterior region of SVO, while it did not change in anterior wall after 8 weeks in 3VO but was significantly decreased (by 47%) in posterior region after PTCA. In conclusion, our results suggest modified PKC signalling in chronically ischemic canine myocardium. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
