Abstract
Double-stranded, RNA-dependent protein kinase R (PKR) is a serine/threonine protein kinase activated by various stress signals. It plays an important role in inflammation, insulin sensitivity and glucose homeostasis. Increased PKR activity has been observed in obese humans as well as in obese diabetic mice. Indirubin-3'-oxime (I3O) is an effective inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases and glycogen synthase kinase 3-beta. However, the effects of I3O on PKR activity/expression in cultured rat cardiomyocytes have not been reported. We investigated whether I3O attenuates the effects of high glucose on PKR, oxidative stress and apoptotic gene markers. Quantitative PCR and western blotting were used to measure protein and mRNA, respectively. High glucose treatment caused significant increase in the PKR protein/mRNA expression, which was attenuated by co-treatment with I3O. High glucose-treated, cultured cardiomyocytes developed a significant increase in mRNA expression for c-Jun-N-terminal kinase, caspase-3 and NF-ĸB, which were all attenuated by pretreatment with I3O. There was also a significant increase in reactive oxygen species generation in high glucose-treated, cultured cardiomyocytes, which was attenuated by pretreatment with I3O. In conclusion, I3O may have a preventive role against the deleterious effects of high glucose in the heart.

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 it
