Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is responsible for primary liver dysfunction and failure after transplantation. The mitochondrial pathway appears to be involved in liver ischemia-reperfusion injury. Mitochondrial ATP-sensitive K (mitoK(ATP)) channels play a central role in protecting the heart from injury in ischemic preconditioning. The selective mitoK(ATP) channel agonist diazoxide potently reduced mitochondrial injury by preventing cytochrome c loss from the intermembrane space. Therefore, this study sought to determine whether diazoxide can attenuate ischemia-reperfusion injury induced by orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) in mice. Furthermore, it was found that up-regulation of the Bcl-2 gene is a mechanism of diazoxide cytoprotection.
