Chronic akt activation accentuates aging-induced cardiac hypertrophy and myocardial contractile dysfunction: role of autophagy

Abstract

Aging is often accompanied with geometric and functional changes in the heart, although the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Recent evidence has described a potential role of Akt and autophagy in aging-associated organ deterioration. This study was to examine the impact of cardiac-specific Akt activation on aging-induced cardiac geometric and functional changes and underlying mechanisms involved. Cardiac geometry, contractile and intracellular Ca(2+) properties were evaluated using echocardiography, edge-detection and fura-2 techniques. Level of insulin signaling and autophagy was evaluated by western blot. Our results revealed cardiac hypertrophy (enlarged chamber size, wall thickness, myocyte cross-sectional area), fibrosis, decreased cardiac contractility, prolonged relengthening along with compromised intracellular Ca(2+) release and clearance in aged (24-26 month-old) mice compared with young (3-4 month-old) mice, the effects of which were accentuated by chronic Akt activation. Aging enhanced Akt and mTOR phosphorylation while reducing that of PTEN, AMPK and ACC with a more pronounced response in Akt transgenic mice. GSK3β phosphorylation and eNOS levels were unaffected by aging or Akt overexpression. Levels of beclin-1, Atg5 and LC3-II-to-LC3-I ratio were decreased in aged hearts, the effect of which with the exception of Atg 5 was exacerbated by Akt overactivation. Levels of p62 were significantly enhanced in aged mice with a more pronounced increase in Akt mice.…

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
