GSK3 inhibition abrogates anti-hypertrophic role of SIRT2 deacetylase.

(A) Western blotting analysis to confirm the activity of LiCl. Neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were treated with 20 mM LiCl for 48 hr and the activity of GSK3β was assessed by monitoring the phosphorylation of p-GS. (B) [3H]-leucine incorporation into total cellular protein of control (Ad-GFP) or SIRT2-overexpressing (Ad-SIRT2) rat neonatal cardiomyocytes treated either with vehicle or ISO (20 µM, 24 hr), with or without LiCl (20 mM, 48 hr). c.p.m. counts per minute. n = 10. Data is presented as mean ± s.d. *p<0.05. Two-way ANOVA was used to calculate the p values. (C) Histogram showing quantification of relative cardiomyocyte area in control (Ad-Null) or SIRT2-overexpressing (Ad-SIRT2) rat neonatal cardiomyocytes treated either with vehicle or ISO (20 µM, 24 hr), with or without LiCl (20 mM, 48 hr). Data is presented as mean ± s.d. *p<0.05. Two-way ANOVA was used to calculate the p values. (D) Representative confocal images depicting perinuclear expression ANP in control (Ad-Null) or SIRT2-overexpressing (Ad-SIRT2) rat neonatal cardiomyocytes treated either with vehicle or ISO (20 µM, 24 hr), with or without 20 mM LiCl. Scale bar = 20 µm. α- Actinin (Green), ANP (Red) and Hoechst (Blue).

Models of GSK3B and BIN2.

(A) Surface representation of the crystal structure of GSK3B (PDB ID 4NM0, blue) and the homology model of BIN2 (salmon), highlighted are the analogous acetylation sites. (B) Overlay of the crystal structure of GSK3B (PDB ID 4NM0, blue) and the model of BIN2 (salmon). (I) Representation of analogous acetylation sites K183 (GSK3B) and K167 (BIN2), K205 (GSK3B) and K189 (BIN2). (II) Side-chain interaction between the residue K205 and N213 in crystal structure of GSK3B (PDB ID 4NM0).
