Previous studies have shown that exogenous lactate impairs mechanical function of reperfused ischaemic hearts, while pyruvate improves post-ischaemic recovery. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the diverging influence of exogenous lactate and pyruvate on functional recovery can be explained by an effect of the exogenous substrates on endogenous protecting mechanisms against oxygen-derived free radicals. Isolated working rat hearts were perfused by a Krebs-Henseleit bicarbonate buffer containing glucose (5 mM) as basal substrate and either lactate (5 mM) or pyruvate (5 mM) as cosubstrate. In hearts perfused with glucose as sole substrate the activity of glutathione reductase was decreased by 32% during 30 min of ischaemia (p<0.10 versus control value), while the activity of superoxide dismutase and catalase was reduced by 27 and 35%, respectively, during 5 min of reperfusion (p<0.10 versus control value). The GSH level in the glucose group was reduced by 29% following 30 min of ischaemia and 35 min of reperfusion (p<0.10). In lactate- and pyruvateperfused hearts there were no significant decreases of superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase activity during 30 min of ischaemia, 5 min of reperfusion or 35 min of reperfusion. In pyruvate-perfused hearts the glutathione peroxidase activity was even increased by 43% during 30 min of ischaemia (p<0.05). Glutathione levels (reduced and oxidized) did not markedly change in the lactate and pyruvate groups. Thus, the endogenous defense mechanism against oxygen-derived free radicals is compromised at the onset of reperfusion when glucose as sole substrate is present, while addition of lactate or pyruvate prevents reduction of the endogenous capacity to scavenge oxygen-derived free radicals. The equivocal relationship between endogenous scavenging enzyme activity and haemodynamic recovery indicates that involvement of the endogenous antioxidants, if any, in functional recovery of the post-ischaemic heart is complex. Pyruvate may exert protective effects on mechanical function after mild ischaemia by functioning as exogenous scavenger in itself, as pyruvate is able to react with hydrogen peroxide. 相似文献

In many tissues the availability of l-cysteine is a rate-limiting factor in glutathione production, though this has yet to be fully tested in heart. This study aimed to test the hypothesis that supplying hearts with 0.5 mM l-cysteine would preserve glutathione levels leading to an increased resistance to ischaemia reperfusion.Left ventricular function was measured in isolated perfused rat hearts before, during and after exposure to 45 min global normothermic ischaemia. Control hearts received Krebs throughout, whilst in treated hearts 0.5 mM l-cysteine was added to the perfusate 10 min before ischaemia, and was then present throughout ischaemia and for the first 10 min of reperfusion. Reperfusion injury was assessed from the appearance of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in the effluent. In two separate groups of control and treated hearts, ATP and glutathione (GSH) contents were measured at the beginning and end of ischaemia.Hearts treated with 0.5 mM l-cysteine showed a significantly higher recovery of rate pressure product (16,256± 1288 mmHg bpm vs. 10,324± 2102 mmHg bpm, p < 0.05) and a significantly lower release of LDH (0.54± 0.16 IU/g wet weight vs. 1.44± 0.31 IU/g wet weight, p < 0.05) compared to controls. Also, the l-cysteine treated group showed significantly better preservation of ATP and GSH during ischaemia in comparison to control.These results suggest that the mechanisms underlying the cardioprotective effects of 0.5 mM l-cysteine may include: increased anaerobic energy production either directly or through reduced degradation of adenine nucleotides; direct scavenging of free radicals; and/or improved antioxidant capacity through glutathione preservation. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to test the effect of vitamins A and E in reducing oxyradical effects and myocardial damage after ischemia — reperfusion in the rabbit heart. Oxyradical effects were indirectly assessed by hydroperoxide initiated chemiluminescence and myocardial damage was evaluated by qualitative and quantitative electron microscopy. Left anterior coronary artery was ligated in control and vitamin-treated rabbits for 30 min and then reperfused for 10 min. Rabbits were pretreated with 150 mg vitamin E and 60000 IU vitamin A 24 h before surgery. After 10 min of reperfusion full-thickness needle samples were obtained from five different myocardial areas (three ventricular and two septal areas) and used for the determination of hydroperoxide-initiated chemiluminescence and ultrastructural damage. In the control group, hydroperoxide-initiated chemiluminescence was 18400±500 cpm/mg protein for the non-ischemic and non-reperfused ventricular areas, and 40500±1800 cpm/mg protein for ischemic-reperfused ventricular areas. In the vitamin-treated group, hydroperoxide-initiated chemiluminescence was decreased by 8% in the non ischemic and non reperfused ventricular areas and by 51–75% in the ventricular ischemic and reperfused areas. The two septal areas in the control group gave chemiluminescences of 6800±1200 cpm/mg protein (non ischemic-non reperfused) and 17000±2000 cpm/mg protein (ischemia-reperfusion). In the vitamin-treated group, chemiluminescence decreased by 4 and 58%, respectively.The ischemia-reperfused areas showed extensive edema, margination of nuclear chromatin and swollen mitochondria with disrupted cristae including rupture of the inner and outer mitochondrial membranes. Assessment of mitochondrial damage in electron micrographs by stereological counting and grading indicated 77% of damaged mitochondria. These hearts displayed the early sings of irreversible damage and infarction. Rabbits pretreated with vitamins A and E showed a 18% of damaged mitochondria in the same areas (p<0.001) and relative preservation of myocyte subcellular structures.The results indicated that vitamins A and E reduce hydroperoxide-initiated chemiluminescence and myocardial cell damage during ischemia-reperfusion in the rabbit. 相似文献

The present study provides evidences of left ventricular diastolic alterations following reperfusion in a model of global ischemia. Isolated perfused rabbit and rat hearts, were subjected to ischemia for 15 and 20 min respectively, followed by 30 min of reperfusion. In rabbit heart at the end of the reperfusion period, isovolumic left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP) and +dP/dtmax stabilized at 55 ± 3% and 60 ± 2% of preischemic values respectively and, in rat heart LVDP = 61 ± 8% and +dP/dtmax = 57 ± 9% of preischemic values. Stunned heart was then obtained from both species. Left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP) values stabilized at the end of reperfusion period at values higher than preischemic conditions in both species (38.9 ± 4.4 mmHg and 30.3 ± 3.1 mmHg in rabbit and rat respectively). The time constant of relaxation (T) increased early in reperfusion in both species, but then decreased and stabilized at the end of reperfusion period at values lower than preischemic values. The ratio between both maximal velocities (+P/-P), also showed a transitory impairment in relaxation, followed by normalization and stabilization at values lower than preischemic values. This biphasic pattern in relaxation was detected in both species. The changes in relaxation were dissociated from the diastolic compliance and could be the result of a transitory calcium overload and/or sarcoplasmic reticulum dysfunction. The faster myocardial relaxation at the end of reperfusion period is consistent with the decreased myofilament sensitivity, which characterizes the stunned myocardium. 相似文献

Grass pea seedling histaminase (a copper-diamine oxidase) was found to exert a significant cardioprotection against post-ischaemic reperfusion damage. Electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings from the rats subjected in vivo to ischaemia and reperfusion showed ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillations (VF) occurring in 9 out of 12 untreated rats whereas no ventricular arrhythmias were found under histaminase (80U/kg body weight) treatment (n=16 rats). Computer-assisted morphometry of the ischaemic reperfused hearts stained with nitroblue tetrazolium showed the extension of damaged myocardium (area at risk and infarct size) significantly reduced in rats treated with histaminase, in comparison with the non-treated rats, whereas no protection was found with the semicarbazide inactivated histaminase. Biochemical markers of ischaemia-reperfusion myocardial tissue damage: malonyldialdehyde (MDA), tissue calcium concentration, myeloperoxidase (MPO), and apoptosis indicator caspase-3 were significantly elevated in untreated post-ischaemic reperfused rats, but significantly reduced under histaminase protection. In conclusion, plant histaminase appears to protect hearts from ischaemia-reperfusion injury by more than one mechanism, essentially involving histamine oxidation, and possibly as reactive oxygen species scavenger, presenting good perspectives for a novel therapeutic approach in treatment of ischaemic heart pathology. 相似文献

The effects of the chronic administration of cholesterol on the stunned myocardium have not been studied. The objective was to determine the effect of a cholesterol enriched diet on postischemic ventricular dysfunction. In group 1 (G1, n = 7 isolated rabbit hearts underwent a follow up of ventricular function during 30 min in aerobic conditions. In group 2 (G2, n = 6) G1 was repeated but the animals were subjected to a 1% cholesterol enriched diet during 4 weeks (hypercholesterolemic animals). In group 3 (G3, n = 8) hearts underwent 15 min of global ischemia followed by 30 min of reperfusion. In Group 4 (G4, n = 11) G3 was repeated, but in hypercholesterolemic animals. Since cholesterol decreased the inotropism in basal situation, and this makes the comparison between groups difficult, we performed a Group 5 (G5, n = 7), in which G4 protocol was repeated but isoproterenol (8 g/kg/min) was administered 10 min before ischemia, in order to match the preischemic inotropic state with respect to the normocholesterolemic ones. G1 and G2 maintained a stable inotropism during the 30 min of perfusion. The preischemic left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP) in G3 and G4 was 91.4± 4.3 and 70.8± 3.4 mmHg (p< 0.05), respectively, and after 30 min of reperfusion differences were not observed between G3 and G4. Nevertheless, when LVDP is expressed as a percentage, we detected an attenuation of postischemic systolic alterations in hypercholesterolemic animals (67.3± 3.6 in G4 vs. 90.8± 3.1% in G3, p< 0.05). When LVDP in G5 was increased until matching the one of G3, there were no differences after 30 min of reperfusion. Left ventricular end diastolic pressure increased 285± 46%, 61± 25% (p< 0.05 vs. G3 and G5) and 216± 25% in G3, G4 and G5 at 30 min of reperfusion. There were no differences either in the values of tau or infarct size between groups. Thus, in hypercholesterolemic animals, a decrease of the preischemic inotropism exists and there is an attenuation of the stunned myocardium. When contractility of the normo and hypercholesterolemic animals is matched, the beneficial effect disappears. 相似文献

The roles of the Na+/H+ exchange system in the development and cessation of reperfusion induced ventricular arrhythmias were studied in the isolated perfused rat heart. The hearts were perfused in the working heart mode with modified Krebs Henseleit bicarbonate (KHB) buffer and whole heart ischemia was induced by a one-way ball valve with 330 beat/min pacing. Ischemia was continued for 15 min followed by 20 min of aerobic reperfusion (control). Amiloride (1.0mM), an inhibitor of the Na+/H+ exchange system, was added to the KHB buffer only during reperfusion (group B) or only during ischemic periods (group C). Electrocardiographic and hemodynamic parameters were monitored throughout the perfusion. Coronary effluent was collected through pulmonary artery cannulation and PO2, PCO2, HCO

The mean onset time of termination of reperfusion arrhythmias was significantly shorter in group B than in control. PCO2 increased from 39.0±0.9 to 89.3±6.0 mmHg at the end of ischemia in control and from 40.6±0.4 to 60.5±5.8 in group C, the difference between groups was statistically significant. HCO

Isolated working rat hearts were subjected to 20 min of global ischaemia and either 5 min or 15 min of reperfusion. The subcellular distribution of ATP, ADP, AMP, phosphocreatine and Pi were determined before and after ischaemia by the method of non-aqueous tissue fractionation. Ventricular function and the cytosolic, mitochondrial and ATPase-associated compartmentation of metabolites were measured. After 5 min of reperfusion, only 13 +/- 9% of the pre-ischaemic contractile function was restored compared to 67 +/- 8% after 15 min reperfusion. ATP was reduced in all cellular compartments after 5 min of reperfusion but was only decreased from pre-ischaemic values in the cytosolic compartment after 15 min of reperfusion (17.1 +/- 3.9 nmol/mg vs. 4.3 +/- 1.5 nmol/mg total protein; P less than 0.05). The mitochondrial [ATP]/[ADP] was reduced from a normal value of 4.36 to 1.79 after 5 min but recovered to 4.62 after 15 min of reperfusion. Most of the Pi was located in the mitochondria or with the ATPase fraction of the cell, with only 16% of the total Pi free in the cytosol. This study indicates that the capacity of the heart to recover function may be compromised during early reperfusion by a 59% increase in mitochondrial phosphate content and during late reperfusion by a reduced cytosolic/mitochondrial concentration ratio of both ATP (from 0.85 to 0.19) and phosphocreatine (from 3.9 to 1.24). 相似文献

Reperfusion of the heart after a period of ischaemia can precipitate ventricular arrhythmias and lead to an exacerbation of tissue injury. Direct evidence to suggest the involvement of free radicals has been obtained using electron spin resonance (esr) spectroscopy and the spin trap N-tert. butyl-α-phenyl nitrone (PBN). In the present study, we have used esr spectroscopy and PBN to examine the individual effects of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase. allopurinol or desferal on radical production in the isolated. reperfused rat heart. A burst of radical production was observed in the control group during the first 5 minutes of reperfusion; the peak occurred during the first minute, when signal intensity had increased by almost 300%. but returned to the baseline by 15 minutes of reperfusion. The esr signals were consistent with the trapping of either alkoxyl or carbon-centered radicals (aN = 13.6 and aH = 1.56G). In the desferal-treated group, a burst of radical production was observed during the first five minutes of reperfusion; this was maximal during the second minute, when signal intensity had increased by almost 200%, but had returned to the baseline value by 30 minutes of reperfusion. In the SOD-treated group, a burst of radical production was observed during the first 10 minutes of reperfusion; signal intensity was maximal during the tenth minute of reperfusion, when signal intensity had increased by almost 200%. but had returned to the baseline value by 30 minutes of reperfusion. In the allopurinol- and catalase-treated groups, no significant burst of radical production could be detected. These data further support the concept that cytotoxic, oxygen-derived species are formed upon reperfusion and that hydrogen peroxide and/or hy-droxyl radicals, are likely to be involved. 相似文献

Selenium Pretreatment Enhances the Radioprotective Effect and Reduces the Lethal Toxicity of Wr-2721
Although WR-2721, S-2-(3-aminopropylamino)ethylphosphorothioic acid, is an effective radioprotector, its use is limited by its toxicity. Combining WR-2721 with other agents might decrease its toxicity and/or increase its effectiveness. The effect of selenium (Se) pretreatment on the acute toxicity and radioprotective effect of WR-2721 was studied in male CD2F1 mice. Injection of 1.6mg/kg Se 24 hr before WR-2721 (800-1200 mg/kg, IP) decreased the lethality of WR-2721 significantly. Lower doses of Se were also effective, but simultaneous administration was not effective. Se injection alone (1.6 mg/kg) 24 hr before cobalt-60 irradiation increased the survival (dose reduction factor, DRF = 1.1) significantly. A synergistic effect on post-irradiation survival was observed when Se was injected 24 hr before WR-2721 (200-600 mg/ kg IP before irradiation). For example, after exposure to 22 Gy (1 Gy/min), 30-day survival was 100% when mice were treated with both Se and 600mg/kg WR-2721, and was 13% with WR-2721 alone. The DRF after 400 mg/kg WR-2721 was 2.6 with Se compared to 2.2 without Se pretreatment. Alkaline phosphatase activity in bone marrow cells and serum was significantly depressed after treatment with 1.6 mg/kg Se, suggesting that a retardation of conversion of WR-2721 to its active free sulfhydryl form through the action of alkaline phosphatase might be partly responsible for the effects of Se. Other possible mechanisms related to the antioxidant properties of Se are under investigation. 相似文献

Induction of apoptosis in bone marrow cells after treatment of mice with WR-2721 and gamma-rays: relationship to the cell cycle 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Apoptosis and cell proliferation are accepted to be responsible for the maintenance of homeostasis in the hematopoietic system. Understanding of the mechanisms of action of the aminothiols and ionizing radiation on normal hematopoietic cells requires determination of the correlation between apoptotic cell death and cell cycle distribution. The effects of WR-2721 ((S)-2-/3-aminopropylamino/ethylphosphorothioic acid; Amifostine) and 60Co gamma-rays on apoptosis and cell cycle progression in the mouse bone marrow were determined. Adult male Swiss mice were exposed to 6 Gy gamma-rays only, or pretreated with WR-2721, at a dose of 400 mg/kg body weight, 30 min before gamma-irradiation. The laser scanning cytometry APO-BRDUTM assay based on simultaneous analysis of cellular DNA content and the in situ detection of DNA strand breaks was used to identify apoptotic cells and to reveal the cell cycle position of apoptotic and nonapoptotic cells. Temporary changes in the frequency of apoptotic cells with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) labeling of DNA strand breaks, and all bone marrow cells including apoptotic and nonapoptotic ones, whose DNA stained with propidium iodide, were observed in the particular phases of the cell cycle throughout the 96-h period after WR-2721 application and gamma-irradiation. The cell cycle phase specificity of WR-2721 and 60Co gamma-irradiation was shown in terms of induction of apoptosis in bone marrow cells. The patterns of alterations in the frequency of apoptotic cells and all bone marrow cells with respect to their cell cycle position were dependent on the agent(s) applied and the time interval after treatment of mice with WR-2721 and/or gamma-rays. A modulatory, suppressive action of WR-2721 on apoptosis induction and the cell cycle perturbation caused in normal cells of the mouse bone marrow by gamma-rays was found. 相似文献

This study was conducted to determine if elevated blood alcohol prior to acute coronary artery occlusion affects myocardial infarct size in an in vivo canine model. Seven pentobarbital anesthetized open-chest dogs received 10 min Iv infusion of ethanol (0.08 g/kg/min). Ten min after ethanol, the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) was occluded distal to its first major branch for 60 min. The LAD was then reperfused for 5 h. Following electrically induced ventricular fibrillation, the area at risk of infarction was delineated with dye. The area of infarction was identified by staining with triphenyl tetrazolium chloride. Eleven untreated control experiments were also conducted. Mean blood ethanol concentration was 155 ± 26 mg/dl just prior to LAD occlusion and 47 ± 3 mg/dl after 4 h reperfusion. Ethanol infusion had no effect on systemic hemodynamic variables during ischemia. In ethanol treated animals, the area at risk was 19.7 ± 3.0% of the left ventricle, and the infarct size was 20.9 ± 4.8% of the area at risk. In control experiments, the area at risk was 23.0 ± 4.1% of the left ventricle (p > 0.05), and the infarct size was 21.6 ± 3.8% of the area at risk (p > 0.05). Collateral blood flow to ischemic region did not differ between the two groups, and the relationships between infarct size and collateral flow were similar for control and untreated hearts. Acute ethanol exposure prior to coronary artery occlusion and subsequent reperfusion does not affect myocardial infarct size in the heart of the anesthetized dog. 相似文献

Fetal undernutrition programmes increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease in adult life. We hypothesized that prenatal protein restriction would impair recovery in post-ischaemic cardiac function in adult offspring through antioxidant-mediated processes. Pregnant Wistar rats were fed control or maternal low protein diets (MLP) throughout gestation. The offspring of these rats were treated with either saline, N-acetylcysteine (NAC), diethylmaleate (DEM), or both NAC and DEM to manipulate glutathione status at 6 months of age. Hearts were rapidly excised and retro-perfused (Langendorff) to assess isolated cardiac function before (baseline), and during 30 min global ischaemia and 60 min reperfusion. Hearts from adult rats exposed to a MLP diet in utero suffered greater cardiac dysfunction than those from controls following 30 min ischaemia. Left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP) was significantly reduced upon early reperfusion (p<0.042) in MLP rats compared to controls. NAC pre-treatment had no effect on LVDP of hearts from control animal hearts but improved the revival of MLP hearts to the same level as controls. DEM treatment did not affect control hearts but significantly reduced recovery of LVDP of MLP hearts during early (p<0.008) and late reperfusion (0.035). Combined NAC and DEM treatment had no effect on LVDP between control and MLP fed offspring. Prenatal protein restriction throughout pregnancy increases the susceptibility of the adult rat heart to suffer a functional deficit following ischaemia-reperfusion injury. Pharmacologically improving antioxidant status prevented this injury. A nutritionally-imbalanced developmental environment may increase susceptibility to coronary heart disease through the programming of myocardial glutathione metabolism. 相似文献

The frequency of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes (MNPCEs) was assessed in the bone marrow and peripheral blood of adult male Swiss mice treated with reduced glutathione (GSH) and S-2-/3-aminopropylamino/ethyl phosphorothioic acid (WR-2721), at a dose of 400 mg/kg body weight, and exposed to 6 Gy X-rays. GSH or WR-2721 was applied alone, or 60 and 30 min, respectively, prior to X-ray-exposure. The number of MNPCEs was determined at 24 h after the thiol treatment and X-irradiation. The radioprotection and toxicity caused in the mouse erythroblasts by GSH and WR-2721, as indicated by the number of MNPCEs were dependent on the thiol applied. The stronger radioprotective effect is obtained following WR-2721 administration than after GSH application. WR-2721 showed greater toxicity than GSH. The combination of GSH and WR-2721 given before X-ray-exposure resulted in the most radioprotective effect as compared to the respective single-drug treatment of mice. Application of the both thiols, without subsequent X-irradiation appeared to be the most toxic, compared with administration of WR-2721 or GSH alone. The effective radioprotection by the combined action of GSH and WR-2721 against genomic instability induced in the mouse erythroblasts by X-rays was shown. 相似文献

It has been suggested that some techniques of tissue preparation for esr spectroscopy may artifactually generate radicals. We have investigated this, together with the possibility that the susceptibility of the tissue to preparation artifacts may be altered by ischaemia and reperfusion. Three different methods of tissue processing have been assessed: (i) freeze-clamping (- 196 °C), using grooved, aluminium tongs which produce frozen cylinders of tissue (3 mm diameter) which fit directly into esr tubes; (ii) grinding of freeze-clamped tissue with a porcelain pestle and mortar; (iii) lyophilisation of ground, freeze-clamped, tissue. Isolated rat hearts (n = 7 or n = 5/group) were subjected to aerobic perfusion (10 min, 37 °C), total, global ischaemia (15 min) and reperfusion (30 sec). Hearts were freeze-clamped at the end of each period. Tissue was prepared by each of the three methods and esr spectra recorded at - 100 °C. In spectra from tissue which had been freeze-clamped only, broad high- and low-spin iron III signals (g = 1.9, g = 2.2-2.9 and g = 4.6) were seen together with a narrow, well-defined signal (g = 2.005), possibly from a semiquinone radical. In spectra from ground samples, an anisotropic signal (g∥ = 2.040 and g⊥ = 2.008), probably from a peroxyl radical, was observed in addition to the iron III signals. The intensity of the anisotropic signal varied with perfusion conditions; in ischaemic tissue it was decreased to 33 ± 10% of the control value and in reperfused tissue it was decreased to 76 ± 26%. In spectra from lyophilised samples, a narrow signal (g = 2.009), probably from a protein radical, was observed in addition to the iron III signals. The intensity of the signal at g = 2.009 was increased in ischaemic tissue to 170 ± 57% of the control value and in reperfused tissue to 241 ± 85%. In conclusion, artifactual generation of radicals can occur upon grinding (peroxyl radical) and lyophilisation (protein radical). Ischaemia and reperfusion may alter not only radical content per se but may also modify the susceptibility of the tissue to the artifactual production of radicals. 相似文献

A high-performance liquid chromatographic method for automated analysis of both protein-bound and total S-2-(3-aminopropylamino)ethanethiol (WR-1065) in blood has been developed in our laboratory. WR-1065 is the active thiol metabolite of the radio- and chemo-protector drug amifostine (WR-2721).

The role of histamine in cardiac physiology and pathophysiology is not clarified, but is dependent on species. The effects of exogenous histamine in Langendorff-perfused rat hearts were investigated. 1 mM, 100, 10, 1 and 0.1 M of histamine (n=7 each) as 15 min infusions were employed in a dose-response study, and compared to control perfused hearts (n=7). In another experimental series, 100 M histamine (n=15) was added during reperfusion after 25 min global ischemia, and compared to control ischemia-reperfusion (n=15). The maximal response to histamine in the dose-response study (100 M) was an increase of left ventricular developed pressure to 126±8% of initial value (mean±SEM, p<0.04), and increase of coronary flow to 152+6% (p<0.02) after 5 min infusion. 100 M histamine did not significantly influence heart rate or rhythm. The lowest concentration (0.1 M) did not have effects cardiac performance. Reperfusion with histamine for 2 min after ischemia reduced left ventricular developed pressure to 68±10% of initial value versus 116+17% in ischemic controls (p<0.05), and increased left ventricular end-diastolic pressure to 24±8 mmHg compared to 6±2 mmHg in controls (p<0.04). Left ventricular pressures were similar in hearts reperfused with histamine and in ischemic controls for the rest of the observation. Coronary flow increased during reperfusion in hearts given histamine. Histamine had a dose-dependent positive inotropic and vasodilatory effect in isolated rat hearts. Exogenous histamine had only minor effects on post-ischemic cardiac function. 相似文献

Fast cyclic voltammetry can be used to measure dopamine release after oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD) induced anoxic depolarization in vitro. Here we measure dopamine efflux with 1 s time resolution, which is appropriate to measure OGD-evoked dopamine efflux accurately. In the present study, we examined whether OGD-evoked dopamine efflux could be used to show pre-ischaemic conditioning in the rat caudate brain slice. Caudate slices were exposed to 0, 2, or 10 min OGD pre-ischaemic conditioning, then 60 min later exposed to a second OGD event of 15 min duration. We measured the OGD-evoked dopamine efflux using fast cyclic voltammetry and in some experiments caudate dopamine and DOPAC tissue levels were measured using HPLC and 20 μm cryostat sections were Nissl stained to indicate neuronal loss. We found that 10 but not 2 min OGD pre-ischaemic conditioning resulted in a longer time to onset of OGD-evoked dopamine efflux on the main OGD event (475 ± 31 and 287 ± 30 s for 10 Vs 0 min pre-ischaemic conditioning respectively). Further, 10 min OGD pre-ischaemic conditioning resulted in less dopamine efflux on the second OGD event (4.23 ± 1.12 and 8.14 ± 0.82 μM for 10 Vs 0 min pre-ischaemic conditioning respectively), despite these slices having similar tissue dopamine content and DOPAC/DA ratio, and the rate of dopamine release was slower in the main OGD event (21 ± 5 and 74 ± 8nM/s for 10 Vs 0 min pre-ischaemic conditioning respectively). These data suggest that 10 min OGD pre-ischaemic conditioning can evoke tolerance to a second OGD event and that voltammetric recording of OGD-evoked dopamine efflux is a useful model of pre-ischaemic conditioning in neuronal tissue. 相似文献

We investigated changes in cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) and in left ventricular contractility during sustained ischemia and reperfusion in isolated beating rat hearts. Hearts from male Sprague-Dawley rats were perfused retrogradely and were loaded with 4 M fura-2. Low-flow global ischemia was induced by reducing perfusion flow to 10% and by electric pacing. The hearts were exposed to ischemia for 10 min or 30 min and then reperfused. [Ca2+]i was measured by monitoring the ratio of 500 nm fluorescence excited at 340 and 380 nm while simultaneously measuring left ventricular pressure (LVP). To determine diastolic [Ca2+]i, background autofluorescence was subtracted. LVP rapidly decreased from 82.3 ± 8.2 to 17.1 ± 2.9 mmHg , whereas the amplitude of the Ca2+ transient did not change significantly during the first 1 min of ischemia. After 10 min of ischemia, the amplitude decreased to 60.8 ± 10.6% (p < 0.05) and diastolic [Ca2+]i increased by 26.3 ± 2.9% (p < 0.001) compared with the pre-ischemic value (n = 8). When the hearts were reperfused after 10 min of ischemia, the amplitude of the Ca2+ transient and LVP recovered to 79.0 ± 7.2% and 73.2 ± 7.5 mmHg, respectively. Whereas diastolic [Ca2+]i decreased to the pre-ischemic value. In the hearts exposed to 30 min of ischemia (n = 10), diastolic [Ca2+]i increased even further by 32.7 ± 5.3% at the end of ischemia and continued increasing during the 10 min of reperfusion by 42.6 ± 15.6%. Six of 10 hearts developed ventricular fibrillation (VF) and intracellular Ca2+ overload after reperfusion. Recovery of LVP after reperfusion was significantly smaller in the hearts exposed to 30 min of ischemia than in the hearts exposed to 10 min of ischemia (58.9 ± 11.7 vs. 97.2 ± 3.0% of pre-ischemic value, p < 0.05). Diastolic [Ca2+]i also increased under hypoxic conditions (N2 bubbling) in this model. These results suggest that increases in diastolic [Ca2+]i might play an important role in myocardial contractile dysfunction and viability in ischemia-reperfusion injury. 相似文献
