The present study is designed to explore the role of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) in the protection afforded by ischemic preconditioning (PC). We used TG mice with cardiac-specific overexpression of a G{beta}{gamma}-sequestering peptide, {beta}ARKct (TG {beta}ARKct mice), to test whether the protection of PC is G{beta}{gamma}-dependent. To test the role of Gi protein, we used wild-type mice pretreated with the Gi inhibitor pertussis toxin. Recovery of left ventricular developed pressure and infarct size were measured as indices of protection. PC induced protection in wild-type mice, but this protection was blocked by pertussis toxin treatment and was also blocked in TG {beta}ARKct mice. To determine the mechanism of G{beta}{gamma}-induced protection in PC, we investigated one of the downstream targets of G{beta}{gamma}, the PI3K/p70S6K pathway. PC-induced phosphorylation of p70S6K was not blocked in TG {beta}ARKct hearts; therefore, we investigated other targets of G{beta}{gamma}. Recent studies suggest a role for G{beta}{gamma} in GPCR internalization. We found that {beta}ARKct, a specific PI3K inhibitor wortmannin, and bafilomycin A1, which all block receptor recycling, all blocked the protective effect of PC. To additionally test whether PI3K is involved in PC-activated receptor internalization and endosomal signaling, we used TG mice with cardiac-specific overexpression of a catalytically inactive mutant PI3K{gamma}, which disrupts the recruitment of functional PI3K to agonist-activated GPCRs in vivo. We found that the catalytically inactive mutant of PI3K{gamma} blocks the protection of PC. In summary, these data suggest the novel finding that the cardioprotective effect of PC requires receptor internalization.
