Abstract: -induced ER swelling and mitochondrial damage. TUDCA boosted the viability of cells disrupted by ischemia/reperfusion (I/R), indicating that TUDCA eased reperfusion injury. However, TUDCA did not improve the viability of cells expressing the constitutively active GSK-3β mutant (GSK-3β-S9A-HA) that were subjected to I/R, suggesting an essential role of GSK-3β inactivation in TUDCA-mediated cardioprotection against reperfusion damage. These data indicate that ER stress inhibition prevents mPTP opening and attenuates reperfusion injury through GSK-3β inactivation. The PI3K/Akt and PKG pathways may mediate GSK-3β inactivation.
