ANT1 overexpression stabilizes the mitochondrial membrane potential in hypoxic cardiomyocytes.
ANT1 overexpression increases activation of ERK1/2 and AKT under hypoxia.
ANT1 overexpression increases HIF-1α and induction of the anaerobic pathway, stabilizing the intracellular ATP content.
Inhibition of ERK1/2, AKT phosphorylation, or ANT activity eliminates cell protection in ANT1-transgenic cardiomyocytes.
ANT1 is part of a signalling network that includes ERK1/2 and AKT activation and results in cell survival.
