Protein kinase C isoform PKCε is identified as the direct target of GDL by functional analysis. (A) Representative Western blot images of ERK expression and phosphorylation in H/R-injured NRCM cells following the treatment of PKC inhibitors (Chelerythrine, Gö6976, Rottlerin or PKCεV1-2). (B) Quantification analysis of ERK phosphorylation in H/R-injured NRCM cells following PKCεV1-2 treatment. (C,D) Immunofluorescence staining of PKCε nuclear translocation in the heart of mice treated with or without GDL. (E) The effect of PKCεV1-2 on GDL-induced cardioprotection against H/R injury. *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01 between indicated groups. Data shown are representive of five independent experiments.
