The mitochondrial ATP-dependent K(+) channel (mitoK(ATP)) is widely considered by many to play a central role in cardioprotection by ischemic and pharmacological preconditioning and by ischemic postconditioning. Nevertheless, several laboratories have questioned the existence of mitoK(ATP). This article summarizes the evidence for and against and addresses two key questions: How strong is the evidence for the presence of a K(ATP) channel in mitochondria? Are the pharmacological agents used to modulate mitoK(ATP) activity sufficiently specific to allow the role of these channels in cardioprotection to be established?
线粒体三磷酸腺苷依赖性钾(mitoKATP)通道被许多人广泛认为在缺血和药物预处理以及缺血后处理的心脏保护中发挥核心作用。然而,一些实验室对 mitoKATP 的存在提出了质疑。本文总结了支持和反对的证据,并回答了两个关键问题:证明线粒体中存在 KATP 通道的证据有多强?用于调节 mitoKATP 活性的药物在多大程度上足够特异,以确定这些通道在心脏保护中的作用?
