摘要: Akt is expected to be an effective target for the treatment of ischemia-reperfusion injury (I/R) due its anti-apoptotic properties and ability activate endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) enzyme. Therefore, this study was aimed determine efficacy active mutant (myr-Akt) decrease I/R in a model orthotopic liver transplantation pigs. In addition, we analyzed contribution Akt-mediated effects by using eNOS (S1179DeNOS) that mimics phosphorylation promoted sequence. Donors were treated with adenoviruses codifying myr-Akt, S1179DeNOS or β-galactosidase 24 h before harvesting. Then, grafts orthotopically transplanted into their corresponding recipients. Levels transaminases lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) increased all recipients after transplant. However, LDH levels significantly lower myr-Akt group compared vehicle. The percentage apoptotic cells amount activated-caspase 3 protein also markedly reduced myr-Akt-treated 4 days transplant vehicle groups. conclusion, gene therapy effectively exerts cytoprotection against hepatic regardless Akt-dependent activation.
