Postconditioning is a procedure based on the induction of intracellular protective reactions immediately after the onset of reperfusion. Because of the growing need to prevent ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury during liver surgery and transplantation, we investigated the possibility of pharmacologically inducing hepatic postconditioning. The effects of the adenosine A2A receptor agonist 2p-(2-carboxyethyl)-phenyl-amino-5'-N-ethylcarboxyamido-adenosine (CGS21680; 5 mu mol/L) and the phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted from chromosome 10 (PTEN) inhibitor dipotassium bisperoxo-(5-hydroxypyridine-2-carboxyl)-oxovanadate [bpV(HOpic); 250 nmol/L] were investigated in primary rat hepatocytes during reoxygenation after 24 hours of cold storage and in an in vivo model of rat liver warm I/R. The addition of CGS21680 at reoxygenation significantly reduced hepatocyte death through the activation of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)-protein kinase B (PKB)/Akt signal pathway and through the reduction of the intracellular level of PTEN. PTEN lowering was associated with the increased generation of reactive oxygen species after A2A receptor-mediated stimulation of beta-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase (NOX). The inhibition of PI3K or NOX with wortmannin or diphenyleneiodonium chloride, respectively, and the addition of the antioxidant N, N'-diphenyl-p-phenylenediamine reversed the effects of CGS21680. The PTEN inhibitor bpV(HOpic) mimicked the protection provided by CGS21680 against reoxygenation damage. An in vivo rat treatment with CGS21680 or bpV(HOpic) during reperfusion after 1 hour of partial hepatic ischemia also promoted PKB/Akt activation and ameliorated alanine aminotransferase release and histological lesions induced by 2 hours of reperfusion. We conclude that adenosine A2A receptor agonists and PTEN inhibitors are possibly useful agents for the pharmacological induction of postconditioning in the liver. Liver Transpl 17:474-482, 2011.
