Mutation in Integrin-Linked Kinase (ILKR211A) and Heat-Shock Protein 70 Comprise a Broadly Cardioprotective Complex
Bibliographic record
Abstract
RATIONALE: Integrin-linked kinase (ILK) has been proposed as a novel molecular target that has translational potential in diverse cardiac diseases, since its upregulation promotes a broadly cardioprotective phenotype. However, ILK has been implicated as both a cardioprotective and oncogenic target, which imposes therapeutic constraints that are generally relevant to the translational potential of many kinases. OBJECTIVE: To study the cardioprotective properties of the activation-resistant, non-oncogenic, mutation of ILK (ILK(R211A)) against experimental MI in vivo and Doxorubicin induced apoptosis in vitro and it's relationships to stress induced heat shock proteins. METHODS/RESULTS: The transgenic mouse heart over-expressing a point mutation in the ILK pleckstrin homology (PH) domain (Tg(R211A)) exhibits a highly cardioprotective phenotype based on LAD-ligation-induced MI reduction in vivo, and on protection against doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis when overexpressed in human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPS)-derived cardiomyocytes in vitro. Intriguingly, the degree of cardioprotection seen with the ILK(R211A) mutation exceeded that with the ILK(S343D) mutation. Microarray and immunoprecipitation analyses revealed upregulation of expression levels and specific binding of ILK(WT), ILK(S343D) and ILK(R211A) to both constitutively active heat-shock protein 70 (Hsc70) and inducible Hsp70 in response to MI, and to acute ILK overexpression in iPSC-cardiomyocytes. ILK-mediated cardioprotection was shown to depend upon Hsp70 ATPase activity. CONCLUSIONS: These findings indicate that wild type ILK and the non-oncogenic ILK(R211A) mutation comprise a cardioprotective module with Hsp/c70. These results advance a novel target discovery theme in which kinase mutations can be safely engineered to enhance cardioprotective effects.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
