Abstract: | Brief ischemia before normothermic ischemia protects hearts against reperfusion injury (ischemic preconditioning, IPC), but it is unclear whether it protects against long-term moderate hypothermic ischemia. We explored in isolated guinea pig hearts 1) the influence of two 2-min periods of normothermic ischemia before 4 h, 17 degrees C hypothermic ischemia on cardiac cytosolic Ca(2+)], mechanical and metabolic function, and infarct size, and 2) the potential role of K(ATP) channels in eliciting cardioprotection. We found that IPC before 4 h moderate hypothermia improved myocardial perfusion, contractility, and relaxation during normothermic reperfusion. Protection was associated with markedly reduced diastolic Ca(2+)] loading throughout both hypothermic storage and reperfusion. Global infarct size was markedly reduced from 36 +/- 2 (SE)% to 15 +/- 1% with IPC. Bracketing ischemic pulses with 200 microM 5-hydroxydecanoic acid or 10 microM glibenclamide increased infarct size to 28 +/- 3% and 26 +/- 4%, respectively. These results suggest that brief ischemia before long-term hypothermic storage adds to the cardioprotective effects of hypothermia and that this is associated with decreased cytosolic Ca(2+)] loading and enhanced ATP-sensitive K channel opening. |
