Aim  Excess mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mROS) play a vital role in cardiac ischemia reperfusion (IR) injury. P66 Shc , a splice variant of the ShcA adaptor protein family, enhances mROS production by oxidizing reduced cytochrome  c  to yield H 2 O 2 . Ablation of p66 Shc  protects against IR injury, but it is unknown if and when p66 Shc  is activated during cardiac ischemia and/or reperfusion and if attenuating complex I electron transfer or deactivating PKCβ alters p66 Shc  activation during IR is associated with cardioprotection.    Methods  Isolated guinea pig hearts were perfused and subjected to increasing periods of ischemia and reperfusion with or without amobarbital, a complex I blocker, or hispidin, a PKCβ inhibitor. Phosphorylation of p66 Shc  at serine 36 and levels of p66 Shc  in mitochondria and cytosol were measured. Cardiac functional variables and redox states were monitored online before, during and after ischemia. Infarct size was assessed in some hearts after 120 min reperfusion.    Results  Phosphorylation of p66 Shc  and its translocation into mitochondria increased during reperfusion after 20 and 30 min ischemia, but not during ischemia only, or during 5 or 10 min ischemia followed by 20 min reperfusion. Correspondingly, cytosolic p66 Shc  levels decreased during these ischemia and reperfusion periods. Amobarbital or hispidin reduced phosphorylation of p66 Shc  and its mitochondrial translocation induced by 30 min ischemia and 20 min reperfusion. Decreased phosphorylation of p66 Shc  by amobarbital or hispidin led to better functional recovery and less infarction during reperfusion.    Conclusion  Our results show that IR activates p66 Shc  and that reversible blockade of electron transfer from complex I, or inhibition of PKCβ activation, decreases p66 Shc  activation and translocation and reduces IR damage. These observations support a novel potential therapeutic intervention against cardiac IR injury.
