Roles of Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress in NECA-Induced Cardioprotection against Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury

Figure 4

NECA inactivates GSK-3β via inhibiting ERS in the heart. (a) NECA (0.1 μM) increased GSK-3β phosphorylation and decreased GRP94 expression; the effect was reversed by the specific inducer of ERS 2-DG (20 μM). (b, c) Data are mean ± SD for 8 independent experiments performed in duplicate. compared to the control group; compared to NECA. (d) I/R increased GSK-3β phosphorylation and decreased GRP94 expression after reperfusion 10 min, 30 min, 60 min, and 120 min in the rat heart, the effect that was reversed by NECA (0.1 μM) and the specific inhibitor of ERS TUDCA (30 μM). (e, f) Data are mean ± SD for 8 independent experiments performed in duplicate. compared to the I/R group.
