Background: Although ischemic postconditioning (IPost) confers cardioprotection by protecting the mitochondria though the activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), a potential drawback of IPost is impairment of aerobic ATP generation during reperfusion by repeated ischemia. This decrease in ATP might inhibit the restoration of sarcolemmal dystrophin, which is translocated during ischemia, and render cardiomyocytes susceptible to contraction-induced oncosis. Methods and Results: Isolated rat hearts were subjected to 30min ischemia and 120min reperfusion. IPost induced by 20 cycles of 10-s reperfusion and 10-s ischemia enhanced the activation of PI3K as evidenced by the increased phosphorylation of Akt, but had no effect on myocardial ATP, restoration of sarcolemmal dystrophin, or cardiomyocyte oncosis during IPost. Administration of the contractile blocker, 2,3-butanedione monoxim (BDM), during IPost increased myocardial ATP and facilitated the redistribution of dystrophin to the sarcolemma. This led to reduced cardiomyocyte oncosis and infarct size, and improved the left ventricular function. The anti-oncotic effect of BDM occurred without changing the anti-apoptotic effect of IPost. The PI3K inhibitor, LY294002, prevented the phosphorylation of Akt, decreased the recovery of ATP and restoration of sarcolemmal dystrophin, and blocked the anti-oncotic and anti-apoptotic effects of IPost. Conclusions: These results suggest that the inhibition of contractile activity during IPost prevents cardiomyocyte oncosis and enhances cardioprotection through PI3K-dependent restoration of sarcolemmal dystrophin.
