黑木耳多糖对抗离体心脏缺血/再灌注损伤的研究

目的:探讨黑木耳多糖(AAP)对离体大鼠心脏缺血/再灌注(I/R)损伤的防护作用及其机制。方法:健康雄性SD大鼠灌胃黑木耳多糖(50,100,200mg/(kg.d))4周后,采用离体心脏Langendorff灌流方法,全心停灌30min,复灌120min建立I/R模型。测定左心室动力学指标和再灌注各时间点冠脉流出液中乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)含量;实验结束测定心肌组织甲月赞(formazan)、丙二醛(MDA)含量及超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性的变化。结果:与单纯I/R组相比,AAP预处理明显提高心肌细胞的formazan含量,降低再灌注期间冠脉流出液中LDH含量,明显增强左室发展压、左心室内压最大上升速率和心率与发展压乘积的恢复,缓解冠脉流量的减少;高剂量AAP改善I/R心肌功能的作用要好于丹参预处理(4ml/(kg.d),gastricperfusion)组。中剂量AAP(100mg/(kg.d))预处理4周后明显抑制I/R心肌MDA的增加和SOD活性的减弱(P0.01),其效果要好于丹参阳性对照组。结论:在大鼠离体心脏灌流模型上,黑木耳多糖预处理具有抗心脏I/R损伤的作用,这种保护作用可能与其增加心肌SOD活性,减少脂质过氧化损伤有关。

Protective effects of leptin on ischemia/reperfusion injury in rat bladder

The aim of the study was to evaluate protective effects of exogenous leptin on ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced injuries to the urinary bladder tissue and to investigate the effect on tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) levels and apoptotic cells during I/R injury. Bladder I/R injury was induced by abdominal aorta occlusion by ischemia for 45 min, followed by 60 min of reperfusion in rats. The rats were divided into three groups: control (n = 8 + 8), I/R (n = 8 + 8) and I/R+leptin group (n = 8 + 8). The rats in the I/R+leptin group were treated intraperitoneally with leptin (10 microg/kg) 60 min prior to ischemia induction. At the end of the reperfusion period, urinary bladders of the first eight rats from each group were removed for TUNEL staining processing while the others were removed for biochemical analyses for MDA and TNF-alpha levels. In the I/R group, the ratios of TUNEL-positive nuclei were higher than the control and the I/R+leptin groups. The MDA and TNF-alpha levels of the bladder tissue in the I/R group were higher than the control and leptin-treated groups. TUNEL-staining and biochemical studies revealed that leptin has a protective effect on urinary bladder I/R injury.     

Comparative study of the cardioprotective effects of local and remote preconditioning in ischemia/reperfusion injury

AimsThough the cardioprotective effects of local or remote preconditioning have been estimated, it is still unclear which of them is more reliable and provides more cardioprotection. The present investigation was directed to compare, in one study, the cardioprotective effects of different cycles of local or remote preconditioning in ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced electrophysiological, biochemical and histological changes in rats.Main methodsRats were randomly assigned into 10 groups. Groups 1 and 2 were normal and I/R groups, respectively. Other groups were subjected to 1, 2, 3, 4 cycles of local or remote preconditioning before myocardial I/R (40 min/10 min). Heart rate and ventricular arrhythmias were recorded during I/R progress. At the end of reperfusion, plasma creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) activity and total nitrate/nitrite (NO_x) were determined. In addition, lactate, adenine nucleotides, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), reduced glutathione (GSH) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity were estimated in the heart left ventricle. Histological examination was also performed to visualize the protective cellular effects of the effective cycle of local or remote preconditioning.Key findingsIn general, local preconditioning was more effective than remote preconditioning in reducing ventricular arrhythmias, CK-MB release, lactate accumulation and elevated MPO activity as well as preserving adenine nucleotides. Concerning the most effective group in each therapy, 3 cycles of local preconditioning provided more cardioprotection than that of remote preconditioning in the histological examination.SignificanceDespite being invasive, local preconditioning provided more effective cardioprotection than remote preconditioning in ameliorating the overall electrophysiological, biochemical and histological changes.     

Protective effects of intermedin/adrenomedullin2 on ischemia/reperfusion injury in isolated rat hearts

Intermedin (IMD) is a novel member of the calcitonin/calcitonin gene-related peptide (CT/CGRP) family identified from human and other vertebrate tissues. Preprointermedin can generate a 47-amino acid mature peptide (IMD(1-47)) and a shorter 40-amino acid one (IMD(8-47)) by proteolytic cleavage. The present study was designed to determine the protective effect of IMD on cardiac ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury and its possible mechanism. Isolated rat hearts were perfused on a Langendorff apparatus and subjected to 45-min global ischemia and 30-min reperfusion. Cardiac function was measured. The release of myocardial protein and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and the formation of malondialdehyde (MDA) were assayed. Myocardial cAMP content was determined by radioimmunoassay (RIA). Cardiac I/R induced a marked inhibition of cardiac function and myocardial injury. Reperfusion with IMD significantly attenuated the I/R injury. Compared with I/R alone, perfusion with 10(-8)mol/L IMD(1-47) and IMD(8-47) induced a 36% and 33% increase in Delta left ventricular pressure (DeltaLVP), 30% and 28% in maximal rate of increase of LV pressure (+LVdP/dt max), and 34% and 31% in maximal rate of decrease of LV pressure (-LVdP/dt max), respectively (all P<0.01) but an approximately 58% and 51% decrease in LV diastolic pressure, respectively (P<0.01). In addition, perfusion with IMD markedly attenuated the leakage of LDH, total protein and myoglobin from myocardia compared with I/R alone. The contents of ventricular myocardia cAMP after reperfusion with 10(-8)mol/L IMD(1-47) and IMD(8-47) were 130% and 91% higher, respectively, than that with I/R alone (all P<0.01). However, formations of myocardial MDA were 52% and 50% lower than that with I/R alone (all P<0.01), respectively. Interestingly, the above IMD effects were similar to those of adrenomedullin (10(-8)mol/L). These results suggest that IMD, like adrenomedullin, exerts cardio-protective effects against myocardial I/R injury.     

Protective effects of doxycycline in ischemia/reperfusion injury on kidney

Renal ischemia and reperfusion injury is the major cause of acute renal failure and may also be involved in the development and progression of some forms of chronic kidney disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether doxycycline, a member of the tetracycline family of antibiotics, protects kidney tissue or not. 36 Sprague-Dawley rats (200–250 g) were used. The animals were divided into three groups: control, ischemia/reperfusion and ischemia/reperfusion+doxycycline group. Rats were subjected to renal ischemia by clamping the left pedicle for 1 h, and then reperfused for 1 h. The ischemia/reperfusion+doxycycline group were pretreated intraperitoneally with doxycycline suspension (10 mg/kg) 2 h before the induction of ischemia. Our results indicate that malondialdehyde, matrix-metalloproteinase-2, interleukin-2, interleukin-6, interleukin-10, interleukin 1-beta and tumor necrosis factor-alpha levels were significantly higher in the ischemia/reperfusion group than those in the control group. Doxycycline administration significantly decreased these parameters. Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 levels also increased after ischemia/reperfusion and decreased with doxycycline pretreatment, but these changes were not significantly different. Glutathione levels significantly decreased after ischemia/reperfusion injury when compared with the control group and doxycycline pretreatment significantly increased glutathione levels when compared with the ischemia/reperfusion group. Apoptotic cells and p53 positive cells were significantly decreased in doxycycline treated group. These results suggest that doxycycline reduces renal oxidative injury and facilitates repair. Doxycycline may play a role in a renoprotective therapeutic regimen.     

Glycine attenuates cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury by inhibiting neuronal apoptosis in mice

Glycine is a cytoprotector to protect cells against ischemic damage by counteracting neuronal depolarization. However, whether it can directly inhibit neuronal apoptosis is unknown. In this study, we demonstrated that glycine could attenuate ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) induced cerebral infarction and improved neurological outcomes in mice. The protective effect of glycine was associated with reduction of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase biotin-dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) positive cells, deactivation of phosphor-JNK, inhibition of caspase-3 cleavage, down-regulation of FasL/Fas, and up-regulation of bcl-2 and bcl-2/bax in the mouse I/R penumbra. The beneficial effect of glycine against oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD) induced injury was also confirmed in SH-SY5Y cells as well as in primary cultured neurons, which was significantly dampened by knockdown of glycine receptor α1 (GlyR α1) with siRNA transfection or by preventing glycine binding with glycine receptor using a specific antibody against glycine receptor. These results suggest that glycine antagonize cerebral I/R induced injury by inhibiting apoptosis in mice. Glycine could block both extrinsic and intrinsic apoptotic pathways for which GlyR may be required.     

The effects of lycopene on hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury in rats

There is a very little information about the protective effect of lycopene (LYC) against hepatic ischemia–reperfusion injury. The present study was designed to examine the possible protective effect of the strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent, LYC, on hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury. For this purpose, rats were subjected to 45 min of hepatic ischemia followed by 60 min of reperfusion period. LYC at the doses of 2.5 and 5 mg/kg body weight (bw) were injected intraperitoneally, 60 min prior to ischemia. Upon sacrification, hepatic tissue samples were used for the measurement of catalase (CAT) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels. Also, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were assayed in serum samples. As a result of the use of LYC at the doses of 2.5 and 5 mg/kg bw; while improvements of the ALT, AST, LDH and MDA values were partial and dose-dependent, the improvement of CAT activity was total and dose-independent (p < 0.05). Our findings suggest that LYC has a protective effect against ischemia/reperfusion injury on the liver.     

Selenium protects the immature rat heart against ischemia/reperfusion injury

The aim of the study was to find out whether administration of selenium (Se) will protect the immature heart against ischemia/reperfusion. The control pregnant rats were fed laboratory diet (0.237 mg Se/kg diet); experimental rats received 2 ppm Na₂SeO₃ in the drinking water from the first day of pregnancy until day 10 post partum. The concentration of Se in the serum and heart tissue was determined by activation analysis, the serum concentration of NO by chemiluminescence, cardiac concentration of lipofuscin-like pigment by fluorescence analysis. The 10 day-old hearts were perfused (Langendorff); recovery of developed force (DF) was measured after 40 min of global ischemia. In acute experiments, 10 day-old hearts were perfused with selenium (75 nmol/l) before or after global ischemia. Sensitivity to isoproterenol (ISO, pD₅₀) was assessed as a response of DF to increasing cumulative dose. Se supplementation elevated serum concentration of Se by 16%. Se increased ischemic tolerance (recovery of DF, 32.28 ± 2.37 vs. 41.82 ± 2.91%, P < 0.05). Similar results were obtained after acute administration of Se during post-ischemic reperfusion (32.28 ± 2.37 vs. 49.73 ± 4.40%, P < 0.01). The pre-ischemic treatment, however, attenuated the recovery (23.08 ± 3.04 vs. 32.28 ± 2.37%, P < 0.05). Moreover, Se supplementation increased the sensitivity to the inotropic effect of ISO, decreased cardiac concentration of lipofuscin-like pigment and serum concentration of NO. Our results suggest that Se protects the immature heart against ischemia/reperfusion injury. It seems therefore, that ROS may affect the function of the neonatal heart, similarly as in adults.
