    Abstract

    Complex signal-transduction cascades are known to be involved in regulating cardiomyocyte function, death and survival during acute cardiac ischemia-reperfusion process, but detailed survival signalling pathways are not clear. This review presents and discusses the recent findings bearing upon the evidence on the cardioprotective effect of sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) and bradykinin in acute cardiac ischemia-reperfusion and underlying signalling mechanisms, particularly, through activation of P21 activated kinase. © 2010.
