Preservation of base-line hemodynamic function and loss of inducible cardioprotection in adult mice lacking protein kinase C epsilon 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7

Signaling pathways involving protein kinase C isozymes are modulators of cardiovascular development and response to injury. Protein kinase C epsilon activation in cardiac myocytes reduces necrosis caused by coronary artery disease. However, it is unclear whether protein kinase C epsilon function is required for normal cardiac development or inducible protection against oxidative stress. Protein kinase C delta activation is also observed during cardiac preconditioning. However, its role as a promoter or inhibitor of injury is controversial. We examined hearts from protein kinase C epsilon knock-out mice under physiological conditions and during acute ischemia reperfusion. Null-mutant and wild-type mice displayed equivalent base-line morphology and hemodynamic function. Targeted disruption of the protein kinase C epsilon gene blocked cardioprotection caused by ischemic preconditioning and alpha(1)-adrenergic receptor stimulation. Protein kinase C delta activation increased in protein kinase C epsilon knock-out myocytes without altering resistance to injury. These observations support protein kinase C epsilon activation as an essential component of cardioprotective signaling. Our results favor protein kinase C delta activation as a mediator of normal growth. This study advances the understanding of cellular mechanisms responsible for preservation of myocardial integrity as potential targets for prevention and treatment of ischemic heart disease. 相似文献

During the last 20 years, since the appearance of the first publication on ischemic preconditioning (PC), our knowledge of this phenomenon has increased exponentially. PC is defined as an increased tolerance to ischemia and reperfusion induced by previous sublethal period ischemia. This is the most powerful mechanism known to date for limiting the infract size. This adaptation occurs in a biphasic pattern (i) early preconditioning (lasts for 2-3 h) and (ii) late preconditioning (starting at 24 h lasting until 72-96 h after initial ischemia). Early preconditioning is more potent than delayed preconditioning in reducing infract size. Late preconditioning attenuates myocardial stunning and requires genomic activation with de novo protein synthesis. Early preconditioning depends on adenosine, opioids and to a lesser degree, on bradykinin and prostaglandins, released during ischemia. These molecules activate G-protein-coupled receptor, initiate activation of K(ATP) channel and generate oxygen-free radicals, and stimulate a series of protein kinases, which include protein kinase C, tyrosine kinase, and members of MAP kinase family. Late preconditioning is triggered by a similar sequence of events, but in addition essentially depends on newly synthesized proteins, which comprise iNOS, COX-2, manganese superoxide dismutase, and possibly heat shock proteins. The final mechanism of PC is still not very clear. The present review focuses on the possible role signaling molecules that regulate cardiomyocyte life and death during ischemia and reperfusion. 相似文献

Translocation of HSP27 to sarcomere induced by ischemic preconditioning in isolated rat hearts 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11

We investigated the role of the 27-kDa heat shock protein (HSP27) in cardiac protection using Langendorff-perfused rat hearts. After preconditioning (a single episode of 5 min global ischemia followed by 5 min of reperfusion), HSP27 redistributed from the cytosol to the sarcomere and recovery of the contractile function, after 40 min of global ischemia and 50 min of reperfusion, was significantly enhanced. Both SB203580, a p38 MAP kinase inhibitor, and bisindolylmaleimide I, a protein kinase C inhibitor, prevented the effects of preconditioning. Both 2-chloro-N(6)-cyclopentyladenosine (adenosine A1 agonist) and anisomycin (activator of p38 MAP kinase and c-jun N-terminal kinase) mimicked preconditioning. These results suggest that activation of protein kinase C followed by activation of p38 MAP kinase elicits translocation of HSP27 to the sarcomere, a process which may be involved in the cardioprotective mechanism afforded by ischemic preconditioning in rat heart. 相似文献

Protein kinase A (PKA) activation has been implicated in early-phase ischemic preconditioning. We recently found that during ischemia PKA activation causes inactivation of cytochrome-c oxidase (CcO) and contributes to myocardial damage due to ischemia-reperfusion. It may be that beta-adrenergic stimulation during ischemia via endogenous catecholamine release activates PKA. Thus beta-adrenergic stimulation may mediate both myocardial protection and damage during ischemia. The present studies were designed to determine the role of the beta(1)-adrenergic receptor (beta(1)-AR) in myocardial ischemic damage and ischemic preconditioning. Langendorff-perfused rabbit hearts underwent 30-min ischemia by anterior coronary artery ligation followed by 2-h reperfusion. Occlusion-reperfusion damage was evaluated by delineating the nonperfused volume of myocardium at risk and volume of myocardial necrosis after 2-h reperfusion. In some hearts ischemic preconditioning was accomplished by two 5-min episodes of global low-flow ischemia separated by 10 min before coronary occlusion-reperfusion. Orthogonal electrocardiograms were recorded, and coronary flow was monitored by a drip count. Three hearts from each experimental group were used to determine mitochondrial CcO and aconitase activities. Two-hour reperfusion after occlusion caused an additional decrease in CcO activity vs. that after 30-min occlusion alone. Blocking the beta(1)-AR during occlusion-reperfusion reversed CcO activity depression and preserved myocardium at risk for necrosis. Similarly, mitochondrial aconitase activity exhibited a parallel response after occlusion-reperfusion as well as for the other interventions. Furthermore, classic ischemic preconditioning had no effect on CcO depression. However, blocking the beta(1)-AR during preconditioning eliminated the cardioprotection. If the beta(1)-AR was blocked after preconditioning, the myocardium was preserved. Interestingly, in both of the latter cases the depression in CcO activity was reversed. Thus the beta(1)-AR plays a dual role in myocardial ischemic damage. Our findings may lead to therapeutic strategies for preserving myocardium at risk for infarction, especially in coronary reperfusion intervention. 相似文献

The major objective of this study was to determine whether urocortin, a member of the corticotrophin-releasing factor (CRF) family, protects adult rat cardiomyocytes from ischemia that has been simulated by glucose deprivation and acidosis. When it was present during simulated ischemia, urocortin (0.1 microM) markedly attenuated the cellular injury, which was assessed by increases in creatine kinase and lactate dehydrogenase levels. This effect was comparable with that observed with adenosine (10 microM). The cardioprotective effect of urocortin was markedly attenuated by the protein kinase C inhibitor chelerythrine and by 5-hydroxydecanoate, an inhibitor of ATP-sensitive K(+) channels. Cardiomyocytes were also protected from injury by pretreatment with urocortin, either by incubation for 5 min with a subsequent 10-min recovery or incubation for 20 min with a 20-h recovery before simulated ischemia. Similar cardioprotective effects were observed with ischemic preconditioning protocols during both immediate and delayed phases. In conclusion, in adult cardiomyocytes, urocortin has immediate and delayed cardioprotective actions that mimic ischemic preconditioning. These actions are mediated via protein kinase C and ATP-sensitive K(+) channels. 相似文献

This study represents results of investigation carried out to determine the endothelium-protective effect of early and late phases of brain ischemic preconditioning as well as local and remote adaptation. The experiments were performed on adult male rats. Prolonged 30-min four vessels brain ischemia followed by 120-min reperfusion on carotid arteries, was performed (control group). Early and late local ischemic preconditioning was due to both 5-min ischemia and 30-min and 48 h reperfusion respectively on carotid arteries. Remote ischemic preconditioning was caused by 30-min ischemia and also by 15-min and 48 h reperfusion, respectively (early and late phases of adaptation) on femoral artery before prolonged brain ischemia described above. To estimate the role of nitric oxide in ischemic adaptation, mechanisms involved both nonselective blocker of NO-synthesis (N omega-nitro-L-arginine) in the time of early adaptation phase and the relatively selective iNOS inhibitor S-methylisothiourea sulfate, given before sustained brain ischemia, on the late preconditioning. Registration of brain blood flow was made by ultrasonic high-frequency Doppler device. Degree of brain edema was studied and evaluation of desquamated endothelial cells in blood was carried out. Early and late phases of local ischemic preconditioning were found to improve the brain blood flow and level of circulatory endothelial cells as well as to reduce degree of edema. The endothelium-protective effect of remote ischemic preconditioning has been proved in this study only on the late phase. Nitric oxygen was found to be important endothelium-protective factor in ischemic preconditioning. 相似文献

Ischemic tolerance, the phenomenon where a sublethal ischemic preconditioning protects the brain against a subsequent lethal ischemia, has been widely studied. Studies have been done on cerebral blood flow levels prior to the lethal ischemia, but the hemodynamic pattern after global ischemia with ischemic preconditioning has not been reported. Sequential changes in regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) in gerbil hippocampus after 5 min global ischemia with or without 2 min ischemic preconditioning were studied to determine if ischemic preconditioning affects rCBF. Four different treatments were given: (1) sham-operated, (2) 2 min ischemia, (3) non-preconditioned, and (4) preconditioned. Groups (1) and (2) (both groups n = 5) were given a 24-h recovery period and the rCBF was measured for baseline values. 24 h after sham-operation (3) and 2 min ischemia (4), gerbils were subjected to 5 min ischemia followed by 1 h, 6 h, 1-day or 7-day reperfusion periods (all groups n = 5). Although no regional difference was observed in the recovery pattern of rCBF, the values of rCBF were significantly higher in the preconditioned group throughout whole brain regions including hippocampus. These results indicate that ischemic preconditioning facilitated the recovery of rCBF after 5 min global ischemia. It needs further study to determine whether the protecting effects of preconditioning relate to the early recovery of rCBF or not. However, our results could be interpreted that the early recovery of rCBF may lead to benefits for cell survival in the CA1 neuron, probably facilitating other protecting mechanisms. 相似文献

The role of C-reactive protein in ischemia/reperfusion injury and preconditioning in a rat model of myocardial infarction 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
For the first time the involvement of C-Reactive protein (CRP) in early (acute) and delayed ischemic (IPC) and pharmacological (chemical) preconditioning (CPC) in an in vivo model of rat myocardial infarction was presented. Acute IPC was produced by three 5 minute occlusion (ischemia) periods interspersed with 5 minute reperfusion, followed by 30 minute occlusion of the left coronary artery and 2 hour reperfusion injury. Acute CPC was produced by a k-opioid receptor agonist U50488H (5 mg/kg) applied i.v. 15 minutes before 30 minute ischemia/ 2 hour reperfusion. Delayed preconditioning was produced by 30 minute ischemia/ 2 hour reperfusion, induced 24 hour after either ischemic or pharmacological preconditioning. The myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury was evaluated on the basis of total and cardiac creatine kinase isoenzyme activity, functional recovery of the heart (ECG), infarct size (% IS/RA) and mortality at the end of the experiments. The results obtained showed that: k-opioid receptor agonist U50488H mimics both the acute and delayed IPC in the above experimental protocol; Both acute IPC and most probably CPC act by opening of K(ATP) channels (the effects were blocked by nonspecific ATP-sensitive K channel blocker glybenclamide), and via activation of protein kinase C (a selective protein kinase C inhibitor chelerythrine blocked the efects); C-reactive protein (CRP) was significantly elevated by 54% in non-preconditioned acute ischemia/reperfusion injury. The elevation was more pronounced (82% increase) 24 hour after non-preconditioned ischemia/reperfusion injury. It reflected very well the increase in cardiac isoenzymes, infarct size and mortality of the rats, and can be used as a marker of the severity of myocardial injury in this model; The increase of CRP was prevented by both IPC and CPC in early, and especially in late preconditioning. This confirms the involvement of CRP as a marker in cardiac ischemic/reperfusion injury. It was concluded that in addition to the established involvement of adenosine, bradykinin, opioid and other receptors, a suppression of myocardial CRP/complement production might be involved in the biological mechanism of preconditioning. This could be a promising perspective in clinical interventions against ischemia/reperfusion injuries of the heart. 相似文献

In this study we tested the effect of antagonists of two subtypes of the group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs GI) on the induction of ischemic tolerance in relation to brain temperature. These experiments were prompted by indications that glutamate receptors may participate in the mechanisms of ischemic preconditioning. The role of NMDA receptors in the induction of ischemic tolerance has been debated while there is lack of information concerning the involvement of mGluRs GI in this phenomenon. The tolerance to injurious 3 min forebrain ischemia in Mongolian gerbils was induced 48 h earlier by 2 min preconditioning ischemia. Brain temperature was measured using telemetry equipment. EMQMCM and MTEP, antagonists of mGluR1 and mGluR5, respectively, were injected i.p. at a dose of 5 mg/kg. They were administered either before preconditioning ischemia in a single dose or after 2 min ischemia three times every 2 h. Both antagonists did not inhibit the induction of ischemic tolerance. Thus, our data indicate that group I metabotropic glutamate receptors do not play an essential role in the induction of ischemic tolerance. 相似文献

Inducible nitric-oxide synthase is an important contributor to prolonged protective effects of ischemic preconditioning in the mouse kidney 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

Ischemic preconditioning renders the mouse kidney resistant to subsequent ischemia. Understanding the mechanisms responsible for ischemic preconditioning is important for formulating therapeutic strategies aimed at mimicking protective mechanisms. We report that the resistance afforded by 30 min of bilateral kidney ischemia persists for 12 weeks after preconditioning. The protection is reflected by improved postischemic renal function, reduced leukocyte infiltration, reduced postischemic disruption of the actin cytoskeleton, and reduced postischemic expression of kidney injury molecule-1 (Kim-1). The protection is observed in both BALB/c and C57BL/6J strains of mice. Thirty minutes of prior ischemia increases the expression of inducible nitric-oxide synthase (iNOS) and endothelial NOS (eNOS) and the expression of heat shock protein (HSP)-25 and is associated with increased interstitial expression of alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA), an indication of long term postischemic sequelae. Treatment with Nomega-nitro-l-arginine (l-NNA), an inhibitor of NO synthesis, increases kidney susceptibility to ischemia. Gene deletion of iNOS increases kidney susceptibility to ischemia, whereas gene deletion of eNOS has no effect. Pharmacological inhibition of NOS by l-NNA or l-N6-(1-iminoethyl) lysine (l-NIL, a specific inhibitor of iNOS) mitigates the kidney protection afforded by 30 min of ischemic preconditioning. Fifteen minutes of prior ischemic preconditioning, which does not result in the disruption of the actin cytoskeleton, impairment of renal function, increased interstitial alpha-SMA, or increased iNOS or eNOS expression, but does increase HSP-25 expression, partially protects the kidney from ischemia on day 8 via a mechanism that is not abolished by l-NIL treatment. Thus, iNOS is responsible for a significant component of the long term protection afforded the kidney by ischemic preconditioning, which results in persistent renal interstitial disease, but does not explain the preconditioning seen with shorter periods of ischemia. 相似文献

Previous studies have suggested that calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) may play an important role in the mediation of ischemic preconditioning. In the present study, we examined the release of CGRP during ischemic preconditioning and the effect of preconditioning frequency on this effect in the isolated rat heart. Thirty minutes of global ischemia and 40 min of reperfusion caused a significant cardiac dysfunction and an increase in the release of creatine kinase (CK) during reperfusion. Preconditioning with one, two or three cycles of 5-min ischemia and 5-min reperfusion caused a marked improvement of cardiac function and a decrease in the release of CK, and there was no difference in the degree of improvement among groups. The protective effects of ischemic preconditioning were abolished by the CGRP receptor antagonist CGRP(8-37). A single preconditioning cycle induced a significant increase in the release of CGRP in the coronary effluent. In the hearts treated with two or three preconditioning cycles, the level of CGRP was highest in the first cycle, and was gradually decreased with increasing number of cycles of preconditioning. These results suggest that the protective effects of ischemic preconditioning are mediated by endogenous CGRP in the isolated rat heart. 相似文献

Data on myocardial tolerance of ischemia in the animals with experimental diabetes are controversial. In our study, myocardial sensitivity to ischemia and infarction-limiting effect of ischemic preconditioning have been investigated in the in vivo rat model of myocardial infarction in alloxan-induced insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. It has been shown that in 6 weeks after alloxan injection in the diabetic rats infarction size as determined by TTC staining was significantly smaller than in healthy controls (39.8 +/- 8.8 and 62.3 +/- 6.6%, respectively, p < 0.01). Also, occurrence of ischemic tachyarrhythmias was more rare in diabetic rats than in controls. A single episode of ischemic preconditioning in diabetic rats showed a much lesser protection against infarction than in controls. Therefore, the data obtained support the existence of endogenous protective myocardial phenotype in diabetes, although the effectiveness of ischemic preconditioning in diabetes is reduced. 相似文献

The present study has been designed to investigate the potential role of CCR-2 chemokine receptor in ischemic preconditioning as well as postconditioning induced reversal of ischemia-reperfusion injury in mouse brain. Bilateral carotid artery occlusion of 17min followed by reperfusion for 24h was employed in present study to produce ischemia and reperfusion induced cerebral injury in mice. Cerebral infarct size was measured using triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining. Memory was evaluated using elevated plus-maze test and Morris water maze test. Rota rod test was employed to assess motor incoordination. Bilateral carotid artery occlusion followed by reperfusion produced cerebral infarction and impaired memory and motor co-ordination. Three preceding episodes of bilateral carotid artery occlusion for 1min and reperfusion of 1min were employed to elicit ischemic preconditioning of brain, while three episodes of bilateral carotid artery occlusion for 10s and reperfusion of 10s immediately after the completion of were employed to elicit ischemic postconditioning of brain. Both prior ischemic preconditioning as well as ischemic postconditioning immediately after global cerebral ischemia prevented markedly ischemia-reperfusion-induced cerebral injury as measured in terms of infarct size, loss of memory and motor coordination. RS 102895, a selective CCR-2 chemokine receptor antagonist, attenuated the neuroprotective effect of both the ischemic preconditioning as well as postconditioning. It is concluded that the neuroprotective effect of both ischemic preconditioning as well as ischemic postconditioning may involve the activation of CCR-2 chemokine receptors. 相似文献

Glycogen turnover and anaplerosis in preconditioned rat hearts 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Using (13)C NMR, we tested the hypothesis that protection by preconditioning is associated with reduced glycogenolysis during ischemia. Preconditioned rat hearts showed improved postischemic function and reduced ischemic damage relative to ischemic controls after 30 min stop-flow ischemia and 30 min reperfusion (contractility: 30+/-10 vs. 2+/-2%; creatine kinase release: 41+/-4 vs. 83+/-15 U/g; both P<0.05). Preconditioning decreased preischemic [(13)C]glycogen by 24% (a 10% decrease in total glycogen), and delayed ischemic [(13)C]glycogen consumption by 5-10 min, reducing ischemic glycogenolysis without changing acidosis relative to controls. Upon reperfusion, glycogen synthesis resumed only after preconditioning. Glutamate (13)C-isotopomer analysis showed recovery of Krebs cycle activity with higher anaplerosis than before ischemia (23+/-4 vs. 11+/-3%, P<0.05), but in controls reperfusion failed to restore flux. Compared to control, preconditioning before 20 min ischemia increased contractility (86+/-10 vs. 29+/-14%, P<0.05) and restored preischemic anaplerosis (13+/-3 vs. 39+/-9%, P<0.05). Preconditioning is associated with reduced glycogenolysis early during ischemia. However, protection does not rely on major variations in intracellular pH, as proposed earlier. Our isotopomer data suggest that preconditioning accelerates metabolic and functional recovery during reperfusion by more efficient/active replenishment of the depleted Krebs cycle. 相似文献

Altered ischemic induction of immediate early gene and heat shock protein 70 mRNAs after preconditioning in rat hearts 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Immediate early genes and heat shock protein (HSP) 70s, which may play a role in adaptation and cellular protection, respectively, are induced by ischemia in hearts. We examined if the induction of immediate early gene (c-fos, c-myc, c-jun, and junB) and HSP70 mRNAs by ischemia is affected by ischemic preconditioning. Transient ischemia (5 or 10 minute) was applied to Wistar rat (n=75) hearts, by tightening a snare placed around left coronary arterial branches 7 days before applying ischemia. Rats without earlier ischemia (control group, C) and rats with 5-minute ischemia 12 or 24 hours earlier (EI12 or 24 group) were given 10-minute ischemia and sacrificed at 0, 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 hour. RNA was extracted from the ischemic region and Northern blot analysis was performed. The induction of c-fos and c-myc mRNAs was significantly increased in EI12 but not in EI24 compared with that in C. The induction of c-jun and junB mRNAs showed no change in both EI12 and EI24 compared with that in C. The induction of HSP72 and 73 mRNAs was decreased in EI12 and decreased further in EI24. Thus, ischemic preconditioning altered the induction of immediate early gene and HSP70 mRNAs by ischemia. The effect of preconditioning differed among genes studied and changed with time after preconditioning. Ischemic preconditioning alters protective and adaptive responses to ischemia at the gene level. 相似文献

Brief periods of ischemia and reperfusion that precede sustained ischemia lead to a reduction in myocardial infarct size. This phenomenon, known as ischemic preconditioning, is mediated by signaling pathway(s) that is complex and yet to be fully defined. AMP-activated kinase (AMPK) is activated in cells under conditions associated with ATP depletion and increased AMP/ATP ratio. In the present study, we have taken advantage of a cardiac phenotype overexpressing a dominant negative form of the alpha2 subunit of AMPK to analyze the role, if any, that AMPK plays in preconditioning the heart. We have found that myocardial preconditioning activates AMPK in wild type, but not transgenic mice. Cardiac cells from transgenic mice could not be preconditioned, as opposed to cells from the wild type. The cytoprotective effect of AMPK was not related to the effect that preconditioning has on mitochondrial membrane potential as revealed by JC-1, a mitochondrial membrane potential-sensitive dye, and laser confocal microscopy. In contrast, experiments with di-8-ANEPPS, a sarcolemmal-potential sensitive dye, has demonstrated that intact AMPK activity is required for preconditioning-induced shortening of the action membrane potential. The preconditioning-induced activation of sarcolemmal K(ATP) channels was observed in wild type, but not in transgenic mice. HMR 1098, a selective inhibitor of sarcolemmal K(ATP) channels opening, inhibited preconditioning-induced shortening of action membrane potential as well as cardioprotection afforded by AMPK. Immunoprecipitation followed by Western blotting has shown that AMPK is essential for preconditioning-induced recruitment of sarcolemmal K(ATP) channels. Based on the obtained results, we conclude that AMPK mediates preconditioning in cardiac cells by regulating the activity and recruitment of sarcolemmal K(ATP) channels without being a part of signaling pathway that regulates mitochondrial membrane potential. 相似文献

A series of brief (a few minutes) ischemia/reperfusion cycles (ischemic preconditioning, IP) limits myocardial injury produced by a subsequent prolonged period of coronary artery occlusion and reperfusion. Postconditioning (PostC), which is a series of brief (a few seconds) reperfusion/ischemia cycles at reperfusion onset, attenuates also ischemia/reperfusion injury. In recent years the main idea has been that reactive oxygen species (ROS) play an essential, though double-edged, role in cardioprotection: they may participate in reperfusion injury or may play a role as signaling elements of protection in the pre-ischemic phase. It has been demonstrated that preconditioning triggering is redox-sensitive, using either ROS scavengers or ROS generators. We have shown that nitroxyl triggers preconditioning via pro-oxidative, and/or nitrosative stress-related mechanism(s). Several metabolites, including acetylcholine, bradykinin, opioids and phenylephrine, trigger preconditioning-like protection via a mitochondrial KATP-ROS-dependent mechanism. Intriguingly, and contradictory to the above mentioned theory of ROS as an obligatory part of reperfusion-induced damage, some studies suggest the possibility that some ROS at low concentrations could protect ischemic hearts against reperfusion injury. Yet, we demonstrated that ischemic PostC is also a cardioprotective phenomenon that requires the intervention of redox signaling to be protective. Emerging evidence suggests that in a preconditioning scenario a redox signal is required during the first few minutes of myocardial reperfusion following the index ischemic period. Intriguingly, the ROS signaling in the early reperfusion appear crucial to both preconditioning- and postconditioning-induced protection. Therefore, our and others' results suggest that the role of ROS in reperfusion may be reconsidered as they are not only deleterious. 相似文献

Ischemic preconditioning affords the most powerful protection to a heart submitted to a prolonged ischemia-reperfusion. During the past decade, a huge amount of work allowed to better understand the features of this protective effect as well as the molecular mechanisms. Ischemic preconditioning reduces infarct size and improves functional recovery; its effects on arrhythmias remain debated. Triggering of the protection involves cell surface receptors that activate pro-survival pathways including protein kinase C, PI3-kinase, possibly Akt and ERK1/2, whose downstream targets remain to be determined. Much attention has been recently focused on the role of mitochondrial K(+)ATP channels and the permeability transition pore that seem to play a major role in the progression toward irreversible cellular injury. Based on these experimental studies attempts have been made to transfer preconditioning from bench to bedside. Human experimental models of ischemic preconditioning have been set up, including cardiac surgery, coronary angioplasty or treadmill exercise, to perform pathophysiological studies. Yet, protecting the heart of CAD (coronary artery disease) patients requires a pharmacological approach. The IONA trial has been an example of the clinical utility of preconditioning. It helped to demonstrate that chronic administration of nicorandil, a K(+)ATP opener that mimics ischemic preconditioning in experimental preparations, improves the cardiovascular prognosis in CAD patients. Recent experimental studies appear further encouraging. It appears that "postconditioning" the heart (i.e. performing brief episodes of ischemia-reperfusion at the time of reperfusion) is as protective as preconditioning. In other words, a therapeutic intervention performed as late as at the time of reflow can still significantly limit infarct size. Further work is needed to determine whether this may be transferred to the clinical practice. 相似文献

The role of differential activation of p38-mitogen-activated protein kinase in preconditioned ventricular myocytes. 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
A T Saurin J L Martin R J Heads C Foley J W Mockridge M J Wright Y Wang M S Marber 《FASEB journal》2000,14(14):2237-2246
Activation of protein kinase C (PKC) and more recently mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) have been associated with the cardioprotective effect of ischemic preconditioning. We examined the interplay between these kinases in a characterized model of ischemic preconditioning in cultured rat neonatal ventricular cardiocytes where ectopic expression of active PKC-delta results in protection. Two members of the MAPK family, p38 and p42/44, were activated transiently during preconditioning by brief simulated ischemia/reoxygenation. Overexpression of active PKC-delta, rather than augmenting, completely abolished this activation. We therefore determined whether a similar process occurred during lethal prolonged simulated ischemia. In contrast to ischemia, brief, lethal-simulated ischemia activated only p38 (2.8+/-0.45 vs. basal, P<0.01), which was attenuated by expression of active PKC-delta or by preconditioning (0.48+/-0.1 vs. ischemia, P<0.01). To determine whether reduced p38 activation was the cause or an effect of protection, we used SB203580, a p38 inhibitor. SB203580 reduced ischemic injury (CK release 38.0+/-3.1%, LDH release 77.3+/-4.0%, and MTT bioreduction 127.1+/-4.8% of control, n=20, P<0.05). To determine whether p38 activation was isoform selective, myocytes were infected with adenoviruses encoding wild-type p38alpha or p38beta. Transfected p38alpha and beta show differential activation (P<0.001) during sustained simulated ischemia, with p38alpha remaining activated (1.48+/-0.36 vs. basal) but p38beta deactivated (0.36+/-0.1 vs. basal, P<0.01). Prior preconditioning prevented the activation of p38alpha (0.65+/-0.11 vs. ischemia, P<0.05). Moreover, cells expressing a dominant negative p38alpha, which prevented ischemic p38 activation, were resistant to lethal simulated ischemia (CK release 82.9+/-3.9% and MTT bioreduction 130.2+/-6.5% of control, n=8, P<0.05). Thus, inhibition of p38alpha activation during ischemia reduces injury and may contribute to preconditioning-induced cardioprotection in this model. 相似文献
