Abstract: | Manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) is one of the main antioxidant enzymes that protects the heart against ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) is a short period of ischemia-reperfusion that reduces subsequent prolonged I/R injury. Although MnSOD localizes in mitochondria, the immediate subcellular distribution of MnSOD in heart after IPC and I/R has not been studied. In a Langendorff mouse heart model, IPC significantly improved cardiac function and reduced the infarction size induced by I/R. Immunoblotting and double immunostaining in fresh preparations revealed that I/R resulted in an increase in cytosolic MnSOD content accompanied by the release of cytochrome c. In contrast, IPC increased mitochondrial MnSOD and reduced cytosolic MnSOD and cytochrome c release induced by I/R. We found that compared with freshly prepared fractions, the freeze-thaw approach results in mitochondrial integrity disruption and release of large amounts of MnSOD into the cytosol along with mitochondrial markers even in the absence of I/R. In contrast, fresh preparations exhibit early MnSOD release into the cytosol after I/R that is prevented by IPC and cyclosporin A administration. |
