RIPK3-Mediated Necroptosis in Diabetic Cardiomyopathy Requires CaMKII Activation.

ABSTRACT: Activation of Ca²⁺/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CaMKII) has been proved to play a vital role in cardiovascular diseases. Receptor-interaction protein kinase 3- (RIPK3-) mediated necroptosis has crucially participated in cardiac dysfunction. The study is aimed at investigating the effect as well as the mechanism of CaMKII activation and necroptosis on diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). Wild-type (WT) and the RIPK3 gene knockout (RIPK3^-/-) mice were intraperitoneally injected with 60 mg/kg/d streptozotocin (STZ) for 5 consecutive days. After 12 w of feeding, 100 μL recombinant adenovirus solution carrying inhibitor 1 of protein phosphatase 1 (I1PP1) gene was injected into the caudal vein of mice.
