BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to determine the role of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in myocardial insulin resistance after myocardial ischemia-reperfusion during cardiopulmonary bypass surgery in dogs. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty-four mongrel dogs were randomly assigned to 4 groups. The control group did not undergo aortic cross-clamping; the model group underwent 60 mins of aortic cross-clamping with 150 ml cardioplegic solution. The treatment group, the inhibition group respectively with 0.11mg/kg AICAR (AMPK agonist) in 150 ml cardioplegic solution and 0.11mg/kg Compound C (AMPK inhibitor) in 150 ml cardioplegic solution. The blood flow was determined and left ventricular myocardial tissue were taken at pre-bypass, 15, 60, and 90 min after aorta declamping, respectively. Expression of AMPK mRNA, p-AMPK and GLUT-4 proteins was determined by RT-PCR, IHC and WB. RESULTS Compared with the control group, receiving 60 min ischemia at 15 min after reperfusion, Myocardial Glucose Extraction Ratio were significantly decreased in the other 3 groups, it was significantly decreased from 20.0% to 1.2% at 60 min of reperfusion, and recovered to 6.1% after 90 min reperfusion in model group, while recovered to 4.1%, 12.0% after 90 min reperfusion respectively exposed to Compound C and AICAR. The expressions of p-AMPK, GLUT-4 protein and AMPK mRNA in myocardium were decreased in different experiment groups, but these changes occurred to a lesser extent in the treatment group. CONCLUSIONS The inability of GLUT-4 expression induced by the decreases in p-AMPK protein expression that may be one of the reasons for myocardial insulin resistance.
