PKC and Na+/K+-ATPase activities were measured for up to 90 min in the absence (normoxia) and presence (chemical anoxia) of 2 mmol l-1 sodium cyanide.

10381890 Wu S, Li HY, Wong TM: Cardioprotection of preconditioning by metabolic inhibition in the rat ventricular myocyte. Circ Res. 1999 Jun 25;84(12):1388-95.

On blockade of protein kinase C, the delayed cardioprotections of UP and MIP were significantly attenuated.
To determine whether opioid receptors (ORs) are involved in the delayed cardioprotection of ischemic preconditioning (IP), the effect of severe metabolic inhibition (MI) with a glucose-free buffer that contained sodium cyanide and 2-deoxy-D-glucose on the viability of isolated rat ventricular myocytes was first determined 20 hours after preconditioning with a sublethal metabolic inhibition (MIP) with a glucose-free buffer that contained 2-deoxy-D-glucose and lactate for 30 minutes in the presence of OR antagonists.

NaF-provoked gonadotrope desensitization to GnRH also occurred in the presence of 3 mM EGTA and in cells which had been depleted of protein kinase C.

BACKGROUND: Sevoflurane protects the myocardium against ischaemic injury through protein kinase C (PKC) activation, mitochondrial K+ATP-channel (mitoK+ATP) opening and production of reactive oxygen species (ROS).

We have examined the effect of pretreatment with a potent protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor, 1-(5-isoquinoline-sulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine (H-7), against metabolic alterations induced by sodium cyanide (NaCN), 4.2 mg/kg, in brain of anesthetized male micropigs (6-10 kg).

In this study, we report that cell viability after exposure to NaCN (10 mM, 1 h) is enhanced by the overexpression of HSP-70 resulting from heat shock (45 degrees C, 10 min), treatment with a protein kinase C activator phorbol 12 myristate 13-acetate (PMA; 1 microM, 4 h), or HSP-70 cDNA transfection.

Eyecups of female Sprague-Dawley rats (250-300 g) were immersed in PBS buffer or PBS containing iodoacetic acid (IAA; 0.5, 5, 50, 100 mM) and sodium cyanide (NaCN; 2.5, 25, 250, 500 mM) (chemical ischaemia solution) for 15, 30, 45, 60, 120 min (pilot study).
