Autophagy is a cellular process associated with damaged or unnecessary protein and organelle degradation [1]. Under the condition of cardiac ischemia reperfusion injury (I/R injury), the process of autophagy is activated in response further verified by the finding that autophagy in the initial phase of ischemia was accompanied by AMPK activation and was diminished by AMPK is an essential molecule for autophagy initiation in cardiac ischemia. It was confirmed that inhibition of autophagy with 3-MA decreased ATP generation and aggravated cardiac cell death in response to glucose during the initial phase of cardiac ischemia contributes to protective autophagy, pharmacologic drugs for AMPK activation are increasingly attractive as therapeutic targets.
