缺血-再灌注损伤防治的新方法——缺血后处理的研究现状

缺血后处理(ischemic postconditioning,I-postC)是近年发现的一种重要内源性保护机制,即长时间缺血后再灌注前短时间内反复短暂再缺血处理,可明显减轻缺血组织的缺血-再灌注(ische-mia/reperfusion,I/R)损伤。I-postC可在组织器官缺血事件发生之后实施,因而具有更广阔的临床应用前景,本文对I-postC实施方法、保护作用及机制研究的现状作一总结。     

远端缺血预处理对心肌的保护作用

实验发现,局部缺血预处理对远端(未预处理)心肌组织具有保护作用,而且其它器官的短暂缺血也可实现心肌保护作用,这一现象不同于经典的缺血预处理,因此被命名为远端缺血预处理。研究其机制表明,神经反射调节是机体实现远端缺血预处理保护作用的重要方式,心肌组织中蛋白激酶C激活介导了这一作用。

心肺复苏后脑缺血再灌注损伤是一个复杂的病理生理变化过程,由多种损伤机制共同参与。自心肺复苏后系统性综合治疗和亚低温治疗在临床上广泛应用后,目前已有多种治疗理念在不同的动物实验和动物模型基础上被提出,包括缺血预处理、药物预处理、缺血后处理、和药物后处理,而后吸入麻醉药对心肺复苏后脑缺血再灌注损伤的保护作用受到了人们的重视,而七氟烷后处理已经成为目前研究的热点之一。为了指导临床上的心肺复苏,人们一直在利用不同动物模型,探究不同保护方法,寻找有效的脑保护药物。而各种治疗理念的提出均是建立在动物实验和动物模型的基础上,窒息性心肺复苏模型模拟围术期气道梗阻,能较贴切的复制临床上由窒息引起的心肺复苏后脑损伤,对将来指导临床复苏具有重大意义。     

缺血后处理内源性心脏保护的研究进展

再灌注疗法是临床治疗心肌缺血最有效的措施,但会引起再灌注损伤,调动机体内源性保护机制可以减轻再灌注损伤,保护缺血心肌。缺血预处理（ischemic preconditioning,IPC）和后处理（ischemic postconditioning,I-postC）是缺血心脏有效的内源性保护现象,可以减轻缺血再灌注（ischemia／reperfusion,I／R）后心肌坏死与心肌功能障碍,减少恶性心律失常的发生。内源性心脏保护的机制主要是通过诱导触发因子释放,经多条细胞内信号转导途径的介导,作用于多种效应器,影响氧自由基产生、钙超载等I／R损伤的关键环节而发挥心肌细胞保护作用。特别是可以在缺血后实施的I-postC具有良好的临床应用前景。本文以I-postC为重点综述内源性心脏保护作用、机制及其临床应用现状。

Effective Neuroprotection by Ischemic Postconditioning is Associated with a Decreased Expression of RGMa and Inflammation Mediators in Ischemic Rats

Whether ischemic postconditioning (IPC) can significantly alleviate ischemic injury hinges on the appropriate measure. In this study, the expression RGMa and IL-1β, IL-6 are investigated to estimate the therapeutic benefits of various postconditioning strategies after cerebral ischemia/reperfusion. The study consists of the sham-operated group and five treatment groups: ischemia/reperfusion (I/R), two proximate ischemic postconditioning (IPC-S and IPC-M), remote postconditioning (RIPC) and delayed postconditioning (DIPC) groups. We find that rats in IPC and RIPC groups exhibit significantly less neural deficit and lower infarct volume than that in I/R and DIPC groups after ischemia/reperfusion. Moreover, in ischemic cortex and hippocampus, the mRNA level of RGMa is much lower in IPC and RIPC groups. Immunohistochemical analysis indicates that the expression of RGMa, IL-1β and IL-6 are reduced in IPC and RIPC groups (especially in IPC-S group). Furthermore, neurofilament staining reveals that the rats in IPC and RIPC groups have less axonal injury than that in I/R and DIPC groups. Our studies suggest that the optimal strategy to attenuate cerebral ischemia/reperfusion is achieved by early, short-term, and multiple cycles of proximal IPC. The cerebral protective effect of IPC may be associated with the decreased expression of RGMa and inflammation mediators.     

Delayed Postconditioning Protects against Focal Ischemic Brain Injury in Rats

Background

We and others have reported that rapid ischemic postconditioning, interrupting early reperfusion after stroke, reduces infarction in rats. However, its extremely short therapeutic time windows, from a few seconds to minutes after reperfusion, may hinder its clinical translation. Thus, in this study we explored if delayed postconditioning, which is conducted a few hours after reperfusion, offers protection against stroke.

Methods and Results

Focal ischemia was generated by 30 min occlusion of bilateral common carotid artery (CCA) combined with permanent occlusion of middle cerebral artery (MCA); delayed postconditioning was performed by repetitive, brief occlusion and release of the bilateral CCAs, or of the ipsilateral CCA alone. As a result, delayed postconditioning performed at 3h and 6h after stroke robustly reduced infarct size, with the strongest protection achieved by delayed postconditioning with 6 cycles of 15 min occlusion/15 min release of the ipsilateral CCA executed from 6h. We found that this delayed postconditioning provided long-term protection for up to two months by reducing infarction and improving outcomes of the behavioral tests; it also attenuated reduction in 2-[¹⁸F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG)-uptake therefore improving metabolism, and reduced edema and blood brain barrier leakage. Reperfusion in ischemic stroke patients is usually achieved by tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) application, however, t-PA''s side effect may worsen ischemic injury. Thus, we tested whether delayed postconditioning counteracts the exacerbating effect of t-PA. The results showed that delayed postconditioning mitigated the worsening effect of t-PA on infarction.

Conclusion

Delayed postconditioning reduced ischemic injury after focal ischemia, which opens a new research avenue for stroke therapy and its underlying protective mechanisms.     

Pharmacological postconditioning by bolus injection of phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors vardenafil and sildenafil

Postconditioning enables cardioprotection against ischemia/reperfusion injury either by application of short, repetitive ischemic periods or by pharmacological intervention prior to reperfusion. Pharmacological postconditioning has been described for phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors when the substances were applied as a permanent infusion. For clinical purposes, application of a bolus is more convenient. In a rat heart in situ model of ischemia reperfusion vardenafil or sildenafil were applied as a bolus prior to reperfusion. Cardioprotective effects were found over a broad dosage range. In accordance with current hypotheses on pharmacological postconditioning signaling, the protective effect was mediated by extracellular signal-regulated kinase and protein kinase C pathway. Interestingly, the extent of protection was independent of the concentration applied for both substances. Full protection comparable to ischemic postconditioning was reached with half-maximal human equivalence dose. In contrast, mean arterial pressure dropped upon bolus application in a dose-dependent manner. Taken together, the current study extends previous findings obtained in a permanent infusion model to bolus application. This is an important step toward clinical application of pharmacological postconditioning with sildenafil and vardenafil, especially because the beneficial effects were proven for concentrations with reduced hemodynamic side effects compared to the dosage applied for erectile dysfunction treatment.     

Effect of Antioxidant Treatment in Global Ischemia and Ischemic Postconditioning in the Rat Hippocampus

Ischemic postconditioning is a very effective way how to prevent delayed neuronal death. Effect of Ginkgo biloba extract (EGb 761; 40 mg/kg) posttreatment was studied on the rat model of transient forebrain ischemia and ischemia/postconditioning. Global ischemia was produced by four-vessel occlusion in Wistar male rats. Two experimental protocols were used: (a) 10 min of ischemia/7 days of reperfusion with or without EGb 761 treatment or (b) 10 min of ischemia/2 days of reperfusion/5 min of ischemia (postconditioning), following 5 days of reperfusion. EGb 761 was applied as follows: 30 min before 10 min of ischemia then 5 h, 1 and 2 days after 10 min of ischemia. Fluoro Jade B, marker for neuronal degeneration, was used for quantitative analysis of the most vulnerable hippocampal CA1 neurons. Cognitive and memory functions were tested by Morris water maze, as well. Administration of EGb 761 30 min before 10 min of ischemia or 5 h after ischemia has rather no protective effect on neuronal survival in CA1 region. Ten minutes of ischemia following ischemic postconditioning after 2 days of reperfusion trigger a significant neuroprotection of CA1 neurons, but it is abolished by EGb 761 posttreatment. Ischemia/postconditioning group showed a significant improvement of learning and memory on the seventh day of reperfusion. Protection of the most vulnerable CA1 neurons after ischemia/postconditioning is abolished by exogenous antioxidant treatment used in different time intervals after initial ischemia. Moreover, combination of EGb 761 administration with repeated stress (5 min ischemia used as postconditioning) causes cumulative injury of CA1 neurons.

Effects of Bradykinin Postconditioning on Endogenous Antioxidant Enzyme Activity After Transient Forebrain Ischemia in Rat

Bradykinin is considered an important mediator of the inflammatory response in both the peripheral and the central nervous system and it has attracted recent interest as a potential mediator of brain injury following stroke. Bradykinin is recognized to play an important role in ischemic brain. We investigated the effect of bradykinin postconditioning on ischemic damage after 8 min of ischemia (four-vessel occlusion) and 3 days of reperfusion. Bradykinin was administered after 2 days of reperfusion at a dose of 150 μg/kg (i.p.). Catalase (CAT) activity was significantly increased in all examined regions (cortex, hippocampus and striatum) 3 days after 8 min of ischemia, but postconditioning decreased this activity below the control values. The total activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) 3 days after ischemia was at control level with or without postconditioning. However, the analysis of individual SODs separately revealed interesting differences; while the activity of CuZnSOD was significantly decreased 3 days after ischemia, the activity of MnSOD was significantly increased compared to control levels. In both cases, postconditioning returned SOD activity to control levels. These findings are interesting because MnSOD is a mitochondrial enzyme and its activity in the cytosol suggests that a possible mechanism of protection provided by postconditioning could include prevention of release of mitochondrial proteins to the cytoplasm, resulting in protection against the mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis. 8 min of ischemia alone caused the degeneration of 52.37% neurons in the hippocampal CA1 region 3 days later. Bradykinin used as postconditioning 2 days after the same interval of ischemia enabled the survival of more than 97% of CA1 neurons. This study demonstrated that bradykinin postconditioning induces protection against ischemic brain injury and promotes neuronal survival.     

Delayed Postconditionig Initiates Additive Mechanism Necessary for Survival of Selectively Vulnerable Neurons After Transient Ischemia in Rat Brain

1. The aim of this study was to validate the role of postconditioning, used 2 days after lethal ischemia, for protection of selectively vulnerable brain neurons against delayed neuronal death.2. Eight, 10, or 15 min of transient forebrain ischemia in rat (four-vessel occlusion model) was used as initial lethal ischemia. Fluoro Jade B, the marker of neurodegeneration, and NeuN, a specific neuronal marker were used for visualization of changes 7 or 28 days after ischemia without and with delayed postconditioning.3. Our results confirm that postconditioning if used at right time and with optimal intensity can prevent process of delayed neuronal death. At least three techniques, known as preconditioners, can be used as postconditioning: short ischemia, 3-nitropropionic acid and norepinephrine. A cardinal role for the prevention of death in selectively vulnerable neurons comprises synthesis of proteins during the first 5 h after postconditioning. Ten minutes of ischemia alone is lethal for 70% of pyramidal CA1 neurons in hippocampus. Injection of inhibitor of protein synthesis (Cycloheximide), if administered simultaneously with postconditioning, suppressed beneficial effect of postconditioning and resulted in 50% of CA1 neurons succumbing to neurodegeneration. Although, when Cycloheximide was injected 5 h after postconditioning, this treatment resulted in survival of 90% of CA1 neurons.4. Though postconditioning significantly protects hippocampal CA1 neurons up to 10 min of ischemia, its efficacy at 15 min ischemia is exhausted. However, protective impact of postconditioning in less-sensitive neuronal populations (cortex and striatum) is very good after such a damaging insult like 15 min ischemia. This statement also means that up to 15 min of ischemia, postconditioning does not induce cumulation of injuries produced by the first and the second stress.
