| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
IL-18 was associated with cardiac dysfunction during sepsis and its ablation exhibited attenuation of septic cardiac dysfunction. We also observed that IL-18 ablation inhibited a decrease of SERCA2a expression and PLN and Akt phosphorylation in septic cardiac dysfunction, which may be regulated by PP2A activation. In cardiac myocytes treated with IL-18, we found a decrease of SERCA2a expression, PLN and Akt phosphorylation, and an increased of PP2A activation. Thus, IL-18 plays important roles in advancing septic cardiac dysfunction by regulating SERCA2a/PLN interaction and Akt through the PP2A.
