Preservation of TSPO by chronic intermittent hypobaric hypoxia confers antiarrhythmic activity

Abnormal activation of mitochondrial translocator protein (TSPO) contributes to arrhythmogenesis during cardiac metabolic compromise; however, its role in the antiarrhythmic activities of chronic hypoxia adaptation remains unclear. Our results demonstrated that 80% of normoxic rats developed ischaemic VF, whereas this condition was seldom observed in rats with 14 days of chronic intermittent hypobaric hypoxia (CIHH). TSPO stimulation or inhibition affected the arrhythmias incidence in normoxic rats, but did not change the CIHH‐mediated antiarrhythmic effects. Abrupt and excessive elevation of TSPO activity was positively linked to ischaemic VF, and CIHH preserved TSPO activity during ischaemia. The preservation of TSPO activity by CIHH also contributed to the maintenance of intracellular Ca homeostasis. These results suggest that the blunt sensitivity of TSPO to ischaemic stress may be responsible for the antiarrhythmic effects by CIHH.     

间歇性低压低氧对过氧化氢心肌细胞损伤的保护作用

目的:观察慢性间歇性低压低氧对过氧化氢所致心肌细胞损伤的保护作用及其机制。方法:雄性豚鼠20只,随机分为两组(n=10):对照组(non-IHH)、低氧组(IHH)。低氧组豚鼠于低压氧舱接受28 d(海拔5 000 m、每天6 h)的低压低氧处理。胶原酶方法急性分离心肌细胞。细胞动缘探测系统测定过氧化氢对各组细胞收缩力的变化。生化方法测定各组丙二醛(MDA)、乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)及超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)和过氧化氢酶(CAT)的变化。结果:①过氧化氢可使心肌细胞出现收缩、舒张紊乱,但IHH处理使其出现的潜伏期明显延长。②给予过氧化氢(300μmol/L,10 min)使来自于non-IHH或IHH的心肌细胞LDH、MDA含量均明显增加,但IHH心肌细胞LDH、MDA含量明显低于non-IHH心肌细胞的LDH、MDA含量。③经IHH处理组的心肌细胞SOD,CAT活性均明显高于non-IHH组。给予过氧化氢使来自于non-IHH或IHH的心肌细胞SOD,CAT活性均明显降低,但IHH心肌细胞SOD,CAT活性明显高于non-IHH心肌细胞的SOD,CAT活性。结论:IHH具有对抗过氧化氢心肌细胞损伤的作用,可能与其增强抗氧化酶活性有关。     

Anti-platelet agents reduce morphological changes of chronic hypoxic pulmonary hypertension

The pathophysiologic mechanism by which chronic hypoxia causes pulmonary hypertension is unknown. If anti-platelet agents, or other pharmacologic interventions, altered the pulmonary vascular changes induced by hypoxia, information concerning the pathogenesis of the pulmonary hypertension or the potential therapeutic usefulness of the drugs might be obtained. In Study 1, rats exposed to chronic hypobaric hypoxia (PB = 520 mmHg) had a pulmonary arterial medial thickness of 6.7 +/- 0.6 mu compared to 4.1 +/- 0.2 mu* for control, normoxic rats (*p less than 0.05). Administration of dipyridamole (2mg/kg/day), or sulfinpyrazone (11 mg/kg/day) in the drinking water reduced the medial thickness to 5.0 +/- 0.3 mu* and 5.4 +/- 0.5 mu* respectively, thus suggesting the possible involvement of platelets in the response of the media to chronic hypoxia. In Study 2, hypoxic rats treated with the calcium blocker, flunarizine, were found to have less medial hypertrophy than a control group of hypoxic rats. This observation suggests that a decrease in transmembrane calcium flux may also reduce medial hypertrophy.     

Facilitation of chronic intermittent hypobaric hypoxia on carotid sinus baroreflex in anesthetized rats

Our previous study showed that chronic intermittent hypobaric hypoxia (CIHH) could prevent decreases in systemic arterial blood pressure (SABP) during acute hypoxia. However, the mechanism was not clear. The purpose of the present study was to observe whether the carotid sinus baroreflex (CSB) was involved in the antagonizing effect of CIHH on SABP decrease induced by acute hypoxia and to explore the underlying mechanism using perfusion technique in rat isolated carotid sinus area. After 14-day and 28-day CIHH exposure, the CSB in rats was enhanced markedly, manifesting as increases in PS and RD, and decreases in TP and SP. This facilitation of CSB was partly abolished by Glibenclamide (Gli, 10 μM), a K ATP channel blocker, but was not influenced by L-NAME (100 μM), a nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor. The results of the study suggested that CIHH facilitated CSB through opening the K ATP channels in carotid sinus of anesthetic rats and might be one of mechanisms of CIHH keeping SABP homeostasis during acute hypoxia.     

Enhancement of Na/K pump activity by chronic intermittent hypobaric hypoxia protected against reperfusion injury

Chronic intermittent hypobaric hypoxia (CIHH) has been shown to attenuate intracellular Na(+) accumulation and Ca(2+) overload during ischemia and reperfusion (I/R), both of which are closely related to the outcome of myocardial damage. Na/K pump plays an essential role in maintaining the equilibrium of intracellular Na(+) and Ca(2+) during I/R. It has been shown that enhancement of Na/K pump activity by ischemic preconditioning may be involved in the cardiac protection. Therefore, we tested whether Na/K pump was involved in the cardioprotection by CIHH. We found that Na/K pump current in cardiac myocytes of guinea pigs exposed to CIHH increased 1.45-fold. The K(1) and f(1), which reflect the portion of α(1)-isoform of Na/K pump, dramatically decreased or increased, respectively, in CIHH myocytes. Western blot analysis revealed that CIHH increased the protein expression of the α(1)-isoform by 76%, whereas the protein expression of the α(2)-isoform was not changed significantly. Na/K pump current was significantly suppressed in simulated I/R, and CIHH preserved the Na/K pump current. CIHH significantly improved the recovery of cell length and contraction during reperfusion. Furthermore, inhibition of Na/K pump by ouabain attenuated the protective effect afforded by CIHH. Collectively, these data suggest that the increase of Na/K pump activity following CIHH is due to the upregulating α(1)-isoform of Na/K pump, which may be one of the mechanisms of CIHH against I/R-induced injury.     

Paradoxical effects of endurance training and chronic hypoxia on myofibrillar ATPase activity

This study aimed to determine the changes in soleus myofibrillar ATPase (m-ATPase) activity and myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoform expression after endurance training and/or chronic hypoxic exposure. Dark Agouti rats were randomly divided into four groups: control, normoxic sedentary (N; n = 14), normoxic endurance trained (NT; n = 14), hypoxic sedentary (H; n = 10), and hypoxic endurance trained (HT; n = 14). Rats lived and trained in normoxia at 760 mmHg (N and NT) or hypobaric hypoxia at 550 mmHg (approximately 2,800 m) (H and HT). m-ATPase activity was measured by rapid flow quench technique; myosin subunits were analyzed with mono- and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Endurance training significantly increased m-ATPase (P < 0.01), although an increase in MHC-I content occurred (P < 0.01). In spite of slow-to-fast transitions in MHC isoform distribution in chronic hypoxia (P < 0.05) no increase in m-ATPase was observed. The rate constants of m-ATPase were 0.0350 +/- 0.0023 s(-1) and 0.047 +/- 0.0050 s(-1) for N and NT and 0.033 +/- 0.0021 s(-1) and 0.038 +/- 0.0032 s(-1) for H and HT. Thus, dissociation between variations in m-ATPase and changes in MHC isoform expression was observed. Changes in fraction of active myosin heads, in myosin light chain isoform (MLC) distribution or in MLC phosphorylation, could not explain the variations in m-ATPase. Myosin posttranslational modifications or changes in other myofibrillar proteins may therefore be responsible for the observed variations in m-ATPase activity.     

Daytime blood pressure elevation after nocturnal hypoxia.

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether nocturnal hypoxia causes daytime blood pressure (BP) elevation. We hypothesized that overnight exposure to hypoxia leads the next morning to elevation in BP that outlasts the hypoxia stimulus. We studied the effect on BP of two consecutive night exposures to hypobaric hypoxia in 10 healthy normotensive subjects. During the hypoxia nights, subjects slept for 8 h in a hypobaric chamber at a simulated altitude of 4,000 m (barometric pressure = 462 mmHg). Arterial O(2) saturation and electrocardiogram were monitored throughout the night. For 30 min before the nocturnal simulated ascent and for 4 h after return to baseline altitude the next morning, BP was measured every 5 min while the subject was awake. The same measurements were made before and after 2 normoxic nights of sleep in the hypobaric chamber at ambient barometric pressure (745 mmHg). Principal components analysis was applied to evaluate patterns of BP response after the second night of hypoxia and normoxia. A distinct pattern of diastolic BP (DBP) elevation was observed after the hypoxia night in 9 of the 10 subjects but in none after the normoxia night. This pattern showed a mean increase of 4 mmHg in DBP compared with the presleep-awake baseline in the first 60 min and a return to baseline by 90 min. We conclude that nocturnal hypoxia leads to a carryover elevation of daytime DBP.
