Summary: | Numerous proteins are known to be lost following myocardial ischemia/reperfusion yet little is known about the mediating proteinases. This study examines the hypothesis that proteasome plays a significant role in the removal of proteins oxidized during myocardial ischemia. Proteasome was inhibited by perfusing isolated rat hearts with buffer containing lactacystin, 2 μmol/L, for 10 min, which resulted in 51 and 42% decreases in 20S and 26S proteasome activities that persisted for a minimum of 90 min. Lactacystin pretreatment had minor effects on postischemic recovery of isolated hearts exposed to 30 min global ischemia and 60 min reperfusion. Protein carbonyl content of lactacystin-pretreated ischemic hearts was significantly (
