Inhibition of heart transplant injury and graft coronary artery disease after prolonged organ ischemia by selective protein kinase C regulators.
J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg. 2005; (5): 1160-7
Transplanted hearts subjected to prolonged ischemia develop ischemia-reperfusion injury and graft coronary artery disease. To determine the effect of delta-protein kinase C and -protein kinase C on ischemia-reperfusion injury and the resulting graft coronary artery disease induced by prolonged ischemia, we used a delta-protein kinase C-selective inhibitor peptide and an -protein kinase C-selective activator peptide after 30 or 120 minutes of ischemia.
