目的:探讨二氮嗪对离体自发性高血压大鼠心脏缺血/再灌注心功能及心肌组织ERK和JNK表达的影响及可能机制。方法:雄性自发性高血压大鼠取心行Langendorff灌流。实验分为5组(n=6/组):对照组(Con)在平衡后继续灌流40min,全心缺血25min,复灌30min。其余各组除全心缺血前处理不同外,余均同对照组。缺血预处理组(IP)2次给予5min缺血+10min复灌,二氮嗪预处理组(DP)给予2次含50μmol·L-1二氮嗪的K-H液10min后给不含二氮嗪的K-H液5min,5-HD、5-HD+DP组则在平衡后给予10min150μmol·L-1线粒体KATP阻断剂5-HD,余同Con及DP组。结果:IP组及DP组复灌末左室发展压、+dP/dtmax和-dP/dtmax的恢复率均高于Con组(P<0.01),但两组左室舒张末期压恢复率低于Con组(P<0.01);5-HD能拮抗二氮嗪引起的心功能指标的改善。复灌末IP、DP及5-HD+DP组ERK表达增加。IP组及DP组心肌的JNK表达低于Con组(P<0.05),5-HD+DP组JNK表达显著高于DP组。结论:二氮嗪预处理对离体自发性高血压大鼠心肌缺血/再灌注损伤有保护作用,此保护作用可能与ERK的表达增加及JNK表达减少有关。     

二氮嗪对长时程低温保存大鼠心脏Fas/FasL蛋白表达的影响

本文旨在研究线粒体ATP敏感性钾(mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium channel,mitoKATP)通道开放剂二氮嗪(diazoxide,DE)对离体长时程低温保存的大鼠心脏促凋亡蛋白Fas和FasL表达的影响.利用Langendorff离体大鼠心脏灌注法,观察心脏在4 oC含或不含(对照组)DE的Celsior保存液保存8 h后,复灌期心脏作功量(rate-pressure product,RPP)变化情况,采用原位末端标记(TdT-mediated dUTP nick end labeling,TUNEL)染色法检测心肌细胞凋亡和免疫组织化学方法检测Fas和FasL蛋白表达情况.结果显示,在Celsior保存液中加入DE(30 pmol/L),复灌期RPP的恢复率在多个复灌时间点上优于对照组;同时可降低长时程低温保存心脏心肌细胞凋亡指数,减少Fas和FasL蛋白的表达.DE的上述作用可被mitoKAxr通道特异性阻断剂5.羟基葵酸盐(5-hydroxydecanoate,5-HD)所取消.以上结果提示,DE可能通过激活mitoKATP通道来减少Fas和FasL蛋白表达,从而减轻大鼠心肌缺血/再灌注损伤后的心肌细胞凋亡.

线粒体通透性转换孔在缺血后处理中的作用和机制

心肌细胞急性缺血后,及时再灌注能够挽救缺血心肌细胞的活力、减少梗死面积、促进心肌细胞功能恢复。但是再灌注是一把“双刃剑”,它产生大量活性氧类（reactive oxygen species,ROS）和Ca2＋超载,开放线粒体通透性转换孔（mitochondrial permeability transition pore,mPTP）,使线粒体肿胀,外膜破裂导致心肌细胞坏死。mPTP是线粒体非特异性的转换孔,由电压依赖性阴离子通道（voltage-dependent anion channel,VDAC）、腺苷酸转位蛋白（adeninenucleotide translocator,ANT）和亲环蛋白D（cyclophilin D,CYPD）组成。mPTP关闭维持线粒体结构完整,是缺血心肌细胞功能恢复的先决条件。缺血后处理通过减少再灌注早期ROS大量释放和拮抗Ca^2＋超载、释放内源性介质、激活再灌注损伤补救激酶（reperfusion injury salvage kinase,RISK）、抑制mPTP开放,从而保护心肌细胞。     

Changes in the mitochondrial permeability in medullary cardiovascular neurons influence the hemodynamics in rats

In acute experiments on anesthetized rats, we studied the effects of modulation of the mitochondrial permeability in medullary cardiovascular neurons (nucl. tractus solitarii, NTS, nucl. ambiguus, AMB, paramedian reticular nucleus, PMn, and lateral reticular nucleus, LRN) on the systemic arterial pressure (SAP). We were the first to show that the mitochondrial permeability is essential for medullary cardiovascular control. An increase in the mitochondrial permeability with injections of an inductor of mitochondrial transition pore opening, phenylarsine oxide (PAO, 0.5 to 504 nmol), into the medullary nuclei resulted in long-lasting decreases in the SAP; at high doses of PAO, these drops could be irreversible and led to the animal’s death. Injections of an inhibitor of mitochondrial transition pore opening, melatonin (0.7 to 70.0 nmol), into the medullary nuclei induced dose-dependent increases in the SAP. Melatonin and L-arginine were shown to demonstrate neuroprotective effects due to their ability to attenuate the consequences of increased mitochondrial permeability in medullary cardiovascular neurons.

Modulation of mitochondrial permeability transition pore affects multidrug resistance in human hepatocellular carcinoma cells

Multidrug resistance (MDR) is a critical problem in the chemotherapy of cancers. Human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) responds poorly to chemotherapy owing to its potent MDR. Chemotherapeutic drugs primarily act by inducing apoptosis of cancer cells, and defects in apoptosis may result in MDR. Mitochondrial permeability transition (mPT) is implicated as an important event in the control of cell death or survival and mPT represents a target for the development of cytotoxic drugs. This study aimed to investigate the effects of selective opener (Atractyloside glycoside, ATR) and inhibitor (Cyclosporine A, CsA) of mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) on a CDDP-resistant HCC cell line (SK-Hep1 cells). In this study, a stable MDR phenotype characterization of SK-Hep1 cell line (SK-Hep1/CDDP cells) was established and used to investigate the role of mPTP in MDR. Results suggested that ATR accelerated the decrease of mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm), reduced the Bax activity, and increased the apoptosis of SK-Hep1/CDDP cells; while CsA inhibited mPTP opening, reduced and delayed the decline of mitochondrial membrane potential, and increased the Bax activity, leading to increased tolerance of SK-Hep1/CDDP cells to apoptosis induction. However, mPTP activity had no effect on the expression of MDR1 in cells,meanwhile the P-gp translocation to mitochondria was increased, and functionally activated. In conclusion, selective modulation of mPTP can affect MDR in human HCC cells. Therefore, activation of mPTP may provide a new strategy to sensitize cancer cells to chemotherapeutic drugs and to reverse the MDR in cancer cells.     

The mitochondrial permeability transition pore: an evolving concept critical for cell life and death

In this review, we summarize current knowledge of perhaps one of the most intriguing phenomena in cell biology: the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP). This phenomenon, which was initially observed as a sudden loss of inner mitochondrial membrane impermeability caused by excessive calcium, has been studied for almost 50 years, and still no definitive answer has been provided regarding its mechanisms. From its initial consideration as an in vitro artifact to the current notion that the mPTP is a phenomenon with physiological and pathological implications, a long road has been travelled. We here summarize the role of mitochondria in cytosolic calcium control and the evolving concepts regarding the mitochondrial permeability transition (mPT) and the mPTP. We show how the evolving mPTP models and mechanisms, which involve many proposed mitochondrial protein components, have arisen from methodological advances and more complex biological models. We describe how scientific progress and methodological advances have allowed milestone discoveries on mPTP regulation and composition and its recognition as a valid target for drug development and a critical component of mitochondrial biology.

Mitochondrial Ca2+ transport and permeability transition pore opening and mitochondrial energetic status

The relationship between mitochondrial Ca2+ transport and permeability transition pore (PTP) opening as well as the effects of mitochondrial energetic status on mitochondrial Ca2+ transport and PTP opening were studied. The results showed that the calcium-induced calcium release from mitochondria (mCICR) induced PTP opening. Inhibitors for electron transport of respiratory chain inhibited mCICR and PTP opening. Partial recovery of electron transport in respiratory chain resulted in partial recovery of mCICR and PTP opening. mCICR and PTP opening were also inhibited by CCCP which eliminated transmembrane proton gradient. The results indicated that mitochondrial Ca2+ transport and PTP opening are largely dependent on electron transport and energy coupling.
