Summary of the Literature Regarding Effects of p53 Inhibition on Acute Myocardial Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury.

Species Protocol of I/R Injury Protocol of p53 Inhibition Estimation of Infarct Size Result References

1 Male rats Isolated perfused hearts, Regional I/R Infusion of PFTα at 10 μmol/L, for 15 minutes before I, for 5 minutes prior to the end of I and continued for 10 minutes to R TTC staining IS reduction 22
2 Male rabbits In vivo, Regional I/R Administration of PFTα at 1.5 or 3.0 mg/kg by intraperitoneal injection 30 minutes before I TTC staining 1.5 mg/kg: no effect on IS, 3.0 mg/kg: IS reduction 20
3 Aged male F344 rats (20 months old) In vivo, Regional I/R Administration of PFTa at 2.2 mg/kg by intraperitoneal injection 40 minutes before I TTC staining IS reduction 21
4 Male mice (11–14 weeks old) Isolated perfused hearts Global I/R As shown in Figure 1A TTC staining No effect on IS Our study
