Abstract
At present, organ transplantation remains the most appropriate therapy for patients with end-stage organ failure. However, the field of organ transplantation is still facing many challenges, including the shortage of organ donors, graft function damage caused by organ metastasis, and antibody-mediated immune rejection. It is therefore urgently necessary to find new and effective treatment. Stem cell therapy has been regarded as a "regenerative medicine technology." Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), as the most common source of cells for stem cell therapy, play an important role in regulating innate and adaptive immune responses and have been widely used in clinical trials for the treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Increasing evidence has shown that MSCs mainly rely on paracrine pathways to exert immunomodulatory functions. In addition, mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (MSC-EVs) are the main components of paracrine substances of MSCs. Herein, an overview of the application of the function of MSCs and MSC-EVs in organ transplantation will focus on the progress reported in recent experimental and clinical findings and explore their uses for graft preconditioning and recipient immune tolerance regulation. Additionally, the limitations on the use of MSC and MSC-EVs are also discussed, covering the isolation of exosomes and preservation techniques. Finally, the opportunities and challenges for translating MSCs and MSC-EVs into clinical practice of organ transplantation are also evaluated.

Abstract
Pharmacological conditioning aims to protect the heart from myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). Despite extensive research in this area, today, a significant gap remains between experimental findings and clinical practice. This review provides an update on recent developments in pharmacological conditioning in the experimental setting and summarizes the clinical evidence of these cardioprotective strategies in the perioperative setting. We start describing the crucial cellular processes during ischemia and reperfusion that drive acute IRI through changes in critical compounds (∆GATP, Na+, Ca2+, pH, glycogen, succinate, glucose-6-phosphate, mitoHKII, acylcarnitines, BH4, and NAD+). These compounds all precipitate common end-effector mechanisms of IRI, such as reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, Ca2+ overload, and mitochondrial permeability transition pore opening (mPTP). We further discuss novel promising interventions targeting these processes, with emphasis on cardiomyocytes and the endothelium. The limited translatability from basic research to clinical practice is likely due to the lack of comorbidities, comedications, and peri-operative treatments in preclinical animal models, employing only monotherapy/monointervention, and the use of no-flow (always in preclinical models) versus low-flow ischemia (often in humans). Future research should focus on improved matching between preclinical models and clinical reality, and on aligning multitarget therapy with optimized dosing and timing towards the human condition.

Abstract
Many clinical studies utilizing MSCs (mesenchymal stem cells, mesenchymal stromal cells, or multipotential stromal cells) are underway in multiple clinical settings; however, the ideal approach to prepare these cells in vitro and to deliver them to injury sites in vivo with maximal effectiveness remains a challenge. Here, pretreating MSCs with agents that block the apoptotic pathways were compared with untreated MSCs. The treatment effects were evaluated in the myocardial infarct setting following direct injection, and physiological parameters were examined at 4 weeks post-infarct in a rat permanent ligation model. The prosurvival treated MSCs were detected in the hearts in greater abundance at 1 week and 4 weeks than the untreated MSCs. The untreated MSCs improved ejection fraction in infarcted hearts from 61% to 77% and the prosurvival treated MSCs further improved ejection fraction to 83% of normal. The untreated MSCs improved fractional shortening in the infarcted heart from 52% to 68%, and the prosurvival treated MSCs further improved fractional shortening to 77% of normal. Further improvements in survival of the MSC dose seems possible. Thus, pretreating MSCs for improved in vivo survival has implications for MSC-based cardiac therapies and in other indications where improved cell survival may improve effectiveness.

Abstract
Hexokinase-2 (HK2) was recently found to produce increased metabolic flux through glycolysis in hyperglycemia without concurrent transcriptional or other functional regulation. Rather, stabilization to proteolysis by increased glucose substrate binding produced unscheduled increased glucose metabolism in response to high cytosolic glucose concentration. This produces abnormal increases in glycolytic intermediates or glycolytic overload, driving cell dysfunction and vulnerability to the damaging effects of hyperglycemia in diabetes, explaining tissue-specific pathogenesis. Glycolytic overload is also activated in ischemia-reperfusion injury and cell senescence. A further key feature is HK2 displacement from mitochondria by increased glucose-6-phosphate concentration, inducing mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress. This pathogenic mechanism suggested new targets for therapeutics development that gave promising outcomes in initial clinical evaluation.

Abstract
The mediators underlying the putative benefits of remote ischemic preconditioning (IPC) on dynamic whole body exercise performance have not been widely investigated. Our objective was to test the hypothesis that remote IPC improves supramaximal exercise performance in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I middle-distance runners by increasing accumulated oxygen deficit (AOD), an indicator of glycolytic capacity. A randomized sham-controlled crossover study was employed. Ten NCAA Division I middle-distance athletes [age: 21 ± 1 yr; maximal oxygen uptake (V̇o2max): 65 ± 7 ml·kg−1·min−1] completed three supramaximal running trials (baseline, after mock IPC, and with remote IPC) at 110% V̇o2max to exhaustion. Remote IPC was induced in the right arm with 4 × 5 min cycles of brachial artery ischemia with 5 min of reperfusion. Supramaximal AOD (ml/kg) was calculated as the difference between the theoretical oxygen demand required for the supramaximal running bout (linear regression extrapolated from ~12 × 5 min submaximal running stages) and the actual oxygen demand for these bouts. Remote IPC [122 ± 38 s, 95% confidence interval (CI): 94–150] increased ( P < 0.001) time to exhaustion 22% compared with baseline (99 ± 23 s, 95% CI: 82–116, P = 0.014) and sham (101 ± 30 s, 95% CI: 80–123, P = 0.001). In the presence of IPC, AOD was 47 ± 36 ml/kg (95% CI: 20.8–73.9), a 29% increase compared with baseline (36 ± 28 ml/kg, 95% CI: 16.3–56.9, P = 0.008) and sham (38 ± 32 ml/kg, 95% CI: 16.2–63.0, P = 0.024). Remote IPC considerably improved supramaximal exercise performance in NCAA Division I middle-distance athletes. Greater glycolytic capacity, as estimated by increased AOD, is a potential mediator for these performance improvements. NEW & NOTEWORTHY Our novel findings indicate that ischemic preconditioning enhanced glycolytic exercise capacity, enabling National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) middle-distance track athletes to run ~22 s longer before exhaustion compared with baseline and mock ischemic preconditioning. The increase in “all-out” performance appears to be due to increased accumulated oxygen deficit, an index of better supramaximal capacity. Of note, enhanced exercise performance was demonstrated in a specific group of in-competition NCAA elite athletes that has already undergone substantial training of the glycolytic energy systems.

Abstract
The mitochondrial matrix protein cyclophilin D (CypD) is an essential component of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP). Here we characterized the effects of CypD ablation on bioenergetics in the kidney. CypD loss triggers a metabolic shift in Ppif-/- male and female mouse kidneys towards glycolysis and Krebs cycle activity. The shift is accompanied by increased glucose consumption and a transcriptional upregulation of effectors of glucose metabolism in the kidney. These included activation of Akt, AMPK (only in males) and p70S6K kinases. Gender specific differences between the Ppif-/- male and female mouse kidneys were observed including activation of pro-surviving ERK1/2 kinase and inhibited expression of pro-apoptotic and pro-fibrotic JNK and TGFβ1 proteins in Ppif-/- females. They also showed the highest expression of phosphorylated-ERK1/2 and Akt S473 proteins of all four investigated animal groups. Furthermore, Ppif-/- females showed higher lactate concentrations and ATP/ADP-ratios in the kidney than males. These metabolic and transcriptional modifications could provide an additional level of protection to Ppif-/- females. In summary, loss of mitochondrial CypD results in a shift in bioenergetics and in activation of glucose-metabolism regulating Akt/AMPK/p70S6 kinase pathways that is expected to affect the capability of Ppif-/- mice kidneys to react to stimuli and injury.

Abstract
Three aspects of cardioprotection are discussed in this article. The first is myocyte death as a function of the duration and severity of ischemia in experimental acute myocardial infarction in the dog heart. The short period of time during which reperfusion with arterial blood will salvage myocytes is demonstrated along with data showing that this period diminishes significantly if collateral flow is very low or absent. The second topic is a discussion of potential mechanisms underlying postconditioning. It begins with a review of the changes that lead to irreversible injury during acute ischemia in the dog heart along with a discussion of the genesis of contraction band necrosis and no reflow when myocardium is salvaged by unrestricted reperfusion with arterial blood in order to provide a basis to discuss the potential mechanisms underlying postconditioning, a situation in which reflow is intermittent and restricted. Postconditioning is reported to achieve greater myocyte salvage than unrestricted reflow. Potential explanations for this beneficial effect include: first, sufficient sarcolemmal repair occurring during the intermittent reflow (reoxygenation) to prevent cell death by explosive cell swelling, and second, prevention of the opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore, thereby preventing mitochondrial failure and cell death in the reperfused tissue. Since there is no way available to identify and specifically study the myocytes that would have died if not protected by postconditioning, direct demonstration of mechanisms is difficult or impossible. Finally, the third topic in this commentary is an analysis of the obstacles faced by investigators using small rodent hearts to establish cardioprotective mechanisms. Such studies provide valid data but the relationship of the changes and the proposed mechanisms underlying these changes are not necessarily directly transferable to ischemic large animal hearts including the heart of man.

Abstract
Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) protects tissues such as the heart from prolonged ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury. We previously showed that the lysine deacetylase SIRT1 is required for acute IPC, and has numerous metabolic targets. While it is known that metabolism is altered during IPC, the underlying metabolic regulatory mechanisms are unknown, including the relative importance of SIRT1. Thus, we sought to test the hypothesis that some of the metabolic adaptations that occur in IPC may require SIRT1 as a regulatory mediator. Using both ex-vivo-perfused and in-vivo mouse hearts, LC-MS/MS based metabolomics and (13)C-labeled substrate tracing, we found that acute IPC altered several metabolic pathways including: (i) stimulation of glycolysis, (ii) increased synthesis of glycogen and several amino acids, (iii) increased reduced glutathione levels, (iv) elevation in the oncometabolite 2-hydroxyglutarate, and (v) inhibition of fatty-acid dependent respiration. The majority (83%) of metabolic alterations induced by IPC were ablated when SIRT1 was acutely inhibited with splitomicin, and a principal component analysis revealed that metabolic changes in response to IPC were fundamentally different in nature when SIRT1 was inhibited. Furthermore, the protective benefit of IPC was abrogated by eliminating glucose from perfusion media while sustaining normal cardiac function by burning fat, thus indicating that glucose dependency is required for acute IPC. Together, these data suggest that SIRT1 signaling is required for rapid cardioprotective metabolic adaptation in acute IPC.

Abstract
The field of mitochondrial ion channels has recently seen substantial progress, including the molecular identification of some of the channels. An integrative approach using genetics, electrophysiology, pharmacology, and cell biology to clarify the roles of these channels has thus become possible. It is by now clear that many of these channels are important for energy supply by the mitochondria and have a major impact on the fate of the entire cell as well. The purpose of this review is to provide an up-to-date overview of the electrophysiological properties, molecular identity, and pathophysiological functions of the mitochondrial ion channels studied so far and to highlight possible therapeutic perspectives based on current information.

Abstract
Hexokinase II (HK-II) is an enzyme that catalyzes the first step in glycolysis and localizes not only in the cytosol but also at mitochondria. Akt, activated by insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) treatment in neonatal rat ventricular myocytes, translocates to mitochondria and increases mitochondrial HK-II binding. Expression of an HK-II-dissociating peptide diminished IGF-1-induced increases in mitochondrial HK-II as well as protection against hydrogen peroxide treatment, suggesting an important role of mitochondrial HK-II in IGF-1/Akt-mediated protection. We hypothesized, on the basis of an Akt phosphorylation consensus sequence present in HK-II, that Thr-473 is the target of Akt kinase activity. Indeed, recombinant kinase-active Akt robustly phosphorylates WT HK-II, but not Thr-473 mutants. Phosphomimetic (T473D)HK-II, but not non-phosphorylatable (T473A)HK-II, constitutively increased mitochondrial binding compared with WT HK-II and concomitantly confers greater protection against hydrogen peroxide. Glucose 6-phosphate (G-6P), a product of the catalytic activity of HK-II, is well known to dissociate HK-II from mitochondria. Addition of G-6P to isolated mitochondria dose-dependently dissociates WT HK-II, and this response is inhibited significantly in mitochondria isolated from cardiomyocytes expressing T473D HK-II. Pretreatment with IGF-1 also inhibits G-6P-induced overexpressed or endogenous HK-II dissociation, and this response was blocked by Akt inhibition. These results show that Akt phosphorylation of HK-II at Thr-473 is responsible for the Akt-mediated increase in HK-II binding to mitochondria. This increase is, at least in part, due to the decreased sensitivity to G-6P-induced dissociation. Thus, phosphorylation-mediated regulation of mitochondrial HK-II would be a critical component of the protective effect of Akt.

Abstract
Several lines of evidence suggest that proteasomes are involved in multiple aspects of myocardial physiology and pathology, including myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. It is well established that the 26S proteasome is an ATP-dependent enzyme and that ischemic heart disease is associated with changes in the ATP content of the cardiomyocyte. A functional link between the 26S proteasome, myocardial ATP concentrations, and ischemic cardiac injury, however, has been suggested only recently. This review discusses the currently available data on the pathophysiological role of the cardiac proteasome during ischemia and reperfusion in the context of the cellular ATP content. Depletion of the myocardial ATP content during ischemia appears to activate the 26S proteasome via direct regulatory effects of ATP on 26S proteasome stability and activity. This implies pathological degradation of target proteins by the proteasome and could provide a pathophysiological basis for beneficial effects of proteasome inhibitors in various models of myocardial ischemia. In contrast to that in the ischemic heart, reduced and impaired proteasome activity is detectable in the postischemic heart. The paradoxical findings that proteasome inhibitors showed beneficial effects when administered during reperfusion in some studies could be explained by their anti-inflammatory and immune suppressive actions, leading to reduction of leukocyte-mediated myocardial reperfusion injury. The direct regulatory effects of ATP on the 26S proteasome have implications for the understanding of the contribution of the 26S proteasome to the pathophysiology of the ischemic heart and its possible role as a therapeutic target.

Abstract
Increased cell death of cardiomyocyte by oxidative stress is known to cause dysfunction of the heart. O. gratissimum is one of the more well-known medicinal plants among the Ocimum species and widely used in treatment of inflammatory diseases. In this study, we hypothesized that aqueous extract of O. gratissimum leaf (OGE) may protect myocardiac cell H9c2 from oxidative injury by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Our results revealed that OGE pretreatment dose-dependently protects H9c2 cells from cell death when exposed to H2O2. Additionally, DNA condensation induced by H2O2 was also reduced by OGE pretreatment, suggesting that Ocimum gratissimum extract may attenuate H2O2-induced chromosome damage. Further investigation showed that OGE pretreatment inhibited H2O2-induced activation of caspase-3 and caspase-9, as well as H2O2-induced upregulation of proapoptotic Apaf-1 and the release of cytosolic cytochrome c, but has little effect on the activation of caspase-8. Additionally, OGE pretreatment significantly upregulated Bcl-2 expression and Akt phosphorylation, and slightly affected the phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinases including p38 MAPK and JNK. Taken together, our findings revealed that Ocimum gratissimum extract effectively inhibited the mitochondrial pathway and upregulated Bcl-2 expression, which may be important in protecting H9c2 cells from H2O2-induced cell death.

Abstract
We have found that cardioprotection by l-glutamate mimics protection by classical ischaemic preconditioning (IPC). We investigated whether the effect of IPC involves amino acid transamination and whether IPC modulates myocardial glutamate metabolism. In a glucose-perfused, isolated rat heart model subjected to 40 min global no-flow ischaemia and 120 min reperfusion, the effects of IPC (2 cycles of 5 min ischaemia and 5 min reperfusion) and continuous glutamate (20 mm) administration during reperfusion on infarct size and haemodynamic recovery were studied. The effect of inhibiting amino acid transamination was evaluated by adding the amino acid transaminase inhibitor amino-oxyacetate (AOA; 0.025 mm) during reperfusion. Changes in coronary effluent, interstitial (microdialysis) and intracellular glutamate ([GLUT](i)) concentrations were measured. Ischaemic preconditioning and postischaemic glutamate administration reduced infarct size to the same extent (41 and 40%, respectively; P < 0.05 for both), without showing an additive effect. Amino-oxyacetate abolished infarct reduction by IPC and glutamate, and increased infarct size in both control and IPC hearts in a dose-dependent manner. Ischaemic preconditioning increased [GLUT](i) before ischaemia (P < 0.01) and decreased the release of glutamate during the first 10 min of reperfusion (P = 0.03). A twofold reduction in [GLUT](i) from the preischaemic state to 45 min of reperfusion (P = 0.0001) suggested increased postischaemic glutamate utilization in IPC hearts. While IPC and AOA changed haemodynamics in accordance with infarct size, glutamate decreased haemodynamic recovery despite reduced infarct size. In conclusion, ischaemic cardioprotection of the normal and IPC-protected heart depends on amino acid transamination and activity of the malate-aspartate shuttle during reperfusion. Underlying mechanisms of IPC include myocardial glutamate metabolism.

Abstract
Ischemic preconditioning increases the heart's tolerance to a subsequent longer ischemic period. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of gap junction communication in simulated preconditioning in cultured neonatal rat cardiac myofibroblasts. Gap junctional intercellular communication was assessed by Lucifer yellow dye transfer. Preconditioning preserved intercellular coupling after prolonged ischemia. An initial reduction in coupling in response to the preconditioning stimulus was also observed. This may protect neighboring cells from damaging substances produced during subsequent regional ischemia in vivo, and may preserve gap junctional communication required for enhanced functional recovery during subsequent reperfusion.

Abstract
We performed the present study to determine whether hibernating myocardium is chronically protected from ischemia. Myocardial tissue was rapidly excised from hibernating left anterior descending coronary regions (systolic wall thickening = 2.8 +/- 0.2 vs. 5.4 +/- 0.3 mm in remote myocardium), and high-energy phosphates were quantified by HPLC during simulated ischemia in vitro (37 degrees C). At baseline, ATP (20.1 +/- 1.0 vs. 26.7 +/- 2.1 micromol/g dry wt, P < 0.05), ADP (8.1 +/- 0.4 vs. 10.3 +/- 0.8 micromol/g, P < 0.05), and total adenine nucleotides (31.2 +/- 1.3 vs. 40.1 +/- 2.9 micromol/g, P < 0.05) were depressed compared with normal myocardium, whereas total creatine, creatine phosphate, and ATP-to-ADP ratios were unchanged. During simulated ischemia, there was a marked attenuation of ATP depletion (5.6 +/- 0.9 vs. 13.7 +/- 1.7 micromol/g at 20 min in control, P < 0.05) and mitochondrial respiration [145 +/- 13 vs. 187 +/- 11 ng atoms O(2).mg protein(-1).min(-1) in control (state 3), P < 0.05], whereas lactate accumulation was unaffected. These in vitro changes were accompanied by protection of the hibernating heart from acute stunning during demand-induced ischemia. Thus, despite contractile dysfunction at rest, hibernating myocardium is ischemia tolerant, with reduced mitochondrial respiration and slowing of ATP depletion during simulated ischemia, which may maintain myocyte viability.

Abstract
Isolated perfused hearts of Wistar rats subjected to total ischemia and reperfusion were used to examine the possibility of moderating damage to cardiomyocyte membranes with reperfusion solution containing l-aspartic acid, d-glucose, and d-mannitol. During the first 5 minutes of reperfusion, this solution significantly improved recovery of the pumping and contractile functions of the heart compared to the control and reduced the release of lactate dehydrogenase and systems generating short-living ROS into the effluent. To the end of reperfusion, the content of ATP and phosphocreatine was higher and the loss of total creatine was lower in hearts perfused with the test solution compared to the control. It is hypothesized that better integrity of the myocyte sarcolemma in hearts perfused with the test solution results from better preservation of macroergic phosphates and inhibition of ROS generation in this solution.

Abstract
Mechanisms of attenuation of membrane injury and metabolic disturbances in postischemic cardiomyocytes have been studied on a model of ischemic and reperfusion stress of rat heart using a modified early reperfusion. Optimization of reperfusion infusate composition augmented cardiac pump and contractile function recovery. This was accompanied by a reduced release of lactate dehydrogenase activity and systems generating short-lived reactive oxygen species into myocardial effluent and was associated with more efficient oxidative metabolism recovery and decreased losses of intracellular total creatine and amino acids pools. The results indicate availability of postischemic functional and metabolic myocardial injury correction by means of a controlled reperfusion.

Abstract
Gap junctions formed by connexins mediate cell-cell communication by electrical and chemical coupling. Recently, it has been shown that alterations in the phosphorylation state of the connexins result in functional alteration of cell-cell communication through gap junctions. Therefore, we focused on the association of alterations of phosphorylation state of connexin 43 (Cx43) with cardiac function in vivo. Rat hearts were transferred to Langendorff apparatus and submitted to hypoxia and then reoxygenated. In the control heart, Cx43 was phosphorylated and located at the intercalated disk. When the hearts were subjected to hypoxia, Cx43 at gap junctions was dephosphorylated and changed its localization to the entire plasma membrane. The area of cardiomyocytes stained with anti-phosphorylated Cx43 antibody was decreased in a time-dependent manner. Immunoblot data supported the decrease of phosphorylated Cx43 during hypoxia. ZO-1 did not change its localization at the intercalated disk during the hypoxic period. We also found that the area occupied by dephosphorylated Cx43 was correlated with the decrease of percent of rate-pressure product. These data indicate that dephosphorylation and redistribution of Cx43 is an early sign of cardiac injury after hypoxia. Detection of dephosphorylated Cx43 may serve as a diagnostic tool for examining ischemic heart disease.

Abstract
1. The aim of the present study was to investigate the potential energy preserving effect of permanent bilateral common carotid artery occlusion (BCCAO) towards additional systemic hypotension of severe duration (30 min). In addition, the role of adenosine A1 receptors in cerebral ischaemic preconditioning was investigated in male Wistar rats. Thus, oligaemic rats were assigned randomly to continuous treatment with the adenosine A1 receptor agonist 2-chloro-N6-cyclopentyladenosine (CCPA) or the adenosine A1 receptor antagonist 8-cyclopentyl-1,3-dimethylxanthine (CPT), receiving daily intraperitoneal infusions of 0.1 mg/kg bodyweight CCPA or CPT or placebo (200 microL aqueous 2-hydropropyl-beta-cyclodextrin) at a delivery rate of 0.5 microL/h over 14 days. 2. Haemodynamic parameters and arterial blood gases were monitored. Rat cortical energy metabolites ATP, ADP, AMP, phosphocreatine and adenosine were measured using HPLC techniques. Adenosine A1 receptor expression was determined by immunhistochemistry and quantified by western blotting. 3. Two weeks of permanent BCCAO induced an 'energy saving' effect in rat cortical ATP concentrations. Under subchronic conditions, significant increases were detected in ADP and AMP concentrations after CCPA compared with placebo. Because similar changes were also seen after CPT, this adenosine A1 receptor-mediated effect does not seems to be specific. Furthermore, no differences in adenosine A1 receptor expression could be detected. 4. Adenosine was not specifically involved in the 'preconditioning-like' effect via the modulation of the adenosine A1 receptor in the present oligaemia model. Obviously, adenosine A1 receptor-specific effects after delayed cerebral ischaemic preconditioning do not seem to play an essential role if BCCAO is followed by a prolonged additional severe ischaemic event.

Abstract
A series of substituted guanidine derivatives were prepared and evaluated as potent and selective inhibitors of mitochondrial F(1)F(0) ATP hydrolase. The initial thiourethane derived lead molecules possessed intriguing in vitro pharmacological profiles, though contained moieties considered non-drug-like. Analogue synthesis efforts led to compounds with maintained potency and superior physical properties. Small molecules in this series which potently and selectivity inhibit ATP hydrolase and not ATP synthase may have utility as cardioprotective agents.

Abstract
1 We examined whether antidiabetic drug miglitol could reduce ischaemia/reperfusion-induced myocardial apoptosis by attenuating production. 2 Japanese white rabbits were subjected to 30-min coronary occlusion followed by 4-h reperfusion with miglitol (10 mg kg(-1), i.v., n=20) or saline (n=20). The infarct area was determined by myoglobin staining, and the infarct size (IS) was expressed as a percentage of the area at risk. DNA fragmentation was assessed by TUNEL method and DNA ladder formation. The expression of Bcl-XL and Bax was detected by immunohistochemical analysis and Western blot analysis. Myocardial interstitial 2,5-DHBA levels, an indicator of hydroxyl radicals, were measured during 30-min ischaemia and 30-min reperfusion in the absence (n=10) or presence of miglitol (10 mg kg(-1), i.v., n=10) using a microdialysis technique. 3 The IS was significantly reduced in the miglitol group (22.4+/-3.4%, n=10) compared to the control group (52.8+/-3.5%, n=10). Miglitol significantly decreased the 2,5-DHBA level during ischaemia and reperfusion and suppressed the incidence of TUNEL-positive myocytes in the ischaemic region (from 10.7+/-3.4 to 4.1+/-3.0%) and the intensity of DNA ladder formation. Miglitol significantly decreased the incidence of Bax-positive myocytes in the ischaemic region (7.4+/-1.7 vs 13.7+/-1.9% of the control) and significantly attenuated the upregulation of Bax protein in the ischaemic regions (from 179+/-17 to 90+/-12% of sham). There was no difference in the expression of Bcl-XL between the two groups. 4 These data suggest that miglitol reduces myocardial apoptosis by attenuating production of hydroxyl radicals and suppressing the upregulation of the expression of Bax protein.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to examine the hypothesis that acceleration of gap junction (GJ) closure during ischemia contributes to anti-infarct tolerance afforded by preconditioning (PC). First, the effects of PC on GJ communication during ischemia were assessed. Isolated buffer-perfused rabbit hearts were subjected to 5-min global ischemia with or without PC with two cycles of 5-min ischemia/5-min reperfusion or a GJ blocker (2 mM heptanol), and then the tissue excised from the ischemic region was incubated in anoxic buffer containing lucifer yellow (LY; 2.5 mg/ml), a tracer of GJ permeability, for 20 min at 37°C. PC and heptanol significantly reduced the area to which LY was transported in the ischemic myocardium by 39% and by 54%, respectively. In the second series of experiments, three GJ blockers (heptanol, 18β-glycyrrhetinic acid, and 2,3-butanedione monoxime) infused after the onset of ischemia reduced infarct size after 30-min ischemia/2-h reperfusion to an extent equivalent to that in the case of PC. In the third series of experiments, Western blotting for connexin43 (Cx43) showed that PC shortened the time to the onset of ischemia-induced Cx43 dephosphorylation but reduced the extent of Cx43 dephosphorylation during a 30-min period of ischemia. Calphostin C, a protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor, abolished preservation of phosphorylated Cx43 but not the early onset of Cx43 dephosphorylation after ischemia in the preconditioned myocardium. These results suggest that PC-induced reduction of GJ permeability during ischemia, presumably by PKC-mediated Cx43 phosphorylation, contributes to infarct size limitation.

Abstract
Exact adjustment of the Embden-Meyerhof pathway (EMP) is an important issue in ischemic preconditioning (IP) because an attenuated ischemic lactate accumulation contributes to myocardial protection. However, precise mechanisms of glycolytic flux and its regulation in IP remain to be elucidated. In open chest pigs, IP was achieved by two cycles of 10-min coronary artery occlusion and 30-min reperfusion prior to a 45-min index ischemia and 120-min reperfusion. Myocardial contents in glycolytic intermediates were assessed by high performance liquid chromatographic analysis of serial myocardial biopsies under control conditions and IP. Detailed time courses of metabolite contents allow an in-depth description of EMP regulation during index ischemia using metabolic control analysis. IP reduced myocardial infarct size (control, 90.0 +/- 3.1 versus 5.05 +/- 2.1%; p < 0.001) and attenuated myocardial lactate accumulation (end-ischemic contents, 31.9 +/- 4.47 versus 10.3 +/- 1.26 micromol/wet weight, p < 0.0001), whereby a decrease in anaerobic glycolytic flux by at least 70% could constantly be observed throughout index ischemia. By calculation of flux:metabolite co-responses, the mechanisms of glycolytic regulation were investigated. The continuous deceleration of EMP flux in control myocadium could neither be explained on the basis of substrate availability nor be attributed to regulatory "key enzymes," as multisite regulation was employed for flux adjustment. In myocardium subjected to IP, an even pronounced deceleration of EMP flux during index ischemia was observed. Again, the adjustment of EMP flux was because of multisite modulation without any evidence for flux limitation by substrate availability or a key enzyme. However, IP changed the regulatory properties of most EMP enzymes, and some of these patterns could not be explained on the basis of substrate kinetics. Instead, other regulatory mechanisms, which have previously not yet been described for EMP enzymes, must be considered. These altered biochemical properties of the EMP enzymes have not yet been described.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ischemic preconditioning is characterized by the limitation of infarct size or ischemic signs after one or more brief episodes of ischemia, a process that probably involves stimulation of adenosine receptors. One human model of ischemic preconditioning is repetitive occlusion of a coronary artery during angioplasty. By using this method of inducing ischemia, we tested the hypothesis that blockade of adenosine receptors with aminophylline would abolish ischemic preconditioning in human beings. METHODS Twenty-six patients undergoing angioplasty were randomly assigned to receive either aminophylline (6 mg/kg IV) or placebo before repetitive coronary occlusion (two 2-minute occlusions separated by 5 minutes). ST-segment changes on the surface electrocardiogram were used as a measure of myocardial ischemia. Serum theophylline levels and the conduction response to an intravenous bolus of adenosine were used to assess the efficacy of adenosine receptor blockade. RESULTS Repetitive coronary occlusion resulted in a reduction in ST-segment shift in 9 of 13 patients given placebo. In contrast, 9 of 13 patients receiving aminophylline had an increase in ST-segment shift on the second occlusion (P =.002). Patients receiving aminophylline (mean serum theophylline level of 8.38 +/- 0.45 mg/dL) did not have significant conduction block with intravenous adenosine. CONCLUSIONS Repetitive coronary occlusion reduces the signs of ischemia in human beings, a process limited by blockade of adenosine receptors.

Abstract
N-methyl-1-deoxynojirimycin (NMDN), an a-glucosidase inhibitor, reduces myocardial infarct size by reducing the glycogenolytic rate through inhibition of the alpha-1,6-glucosidase of glycogen-debranching enzyme in the heart, in addition to possessing an antihyperglycemic action by blocking alpha-1,4-glucosidase in the intestine. Ischemic preconditioning (PC), which markedly reduces the size of the myocardial infarct, is known to reduce the activity of phosphorylase and reduce the glycogenolytic rate. Therefore, it was hypothesized that a combination of pharmacological inhibition of glycogenolysis by an alpha-1,6-glucosidase inhibitor, NMDN, and PC could markedly reduce myocardial infarct size more than NMDN or PC alone. Japanese white rabbits without collateral circulation were subjected to a 30-min coronary occlusion followed by 48-h reperfusion. The infarct sizes as a percentage of area at risk were significantly reduced by pre-ischemic treatment with either 100mg/kg of NMDN or PC of 5 min ischemia and 5 min reperfusion alone (15.9+/-2.0%, n=8, and 10.3+/-1.2%, n=8, respectively) as compared with the control (43.9+/-2.2%, n=8). However, the combination of 100mg/kg of NMDN and PC significantly reduced the infarct size (4.9+/-1.2, n=8) compared with NMDN or PC alone. Another 40 rabbits, also given 100mg of NMDN, PC, NMDN+PC or saline before ischemia (n=10 in each group), were killed for biochemical analysis after 30 min of ischemia. NMDN and PC preserved the glycogen content and attenuated the lactate accumulation, respectively, as compared with the control. However, the combination of NMDN and PC preserved significantly more glycogen and significantly reduced lactate accumulation than either NMDN or PC alone. The combination of NMDN and PC markedly reduced the myocardial infarct size more than either process alone. The marked preservation of glycogen and marked attenuation of lactate accumulation by the combination of NMDN and PC suggest that the mechanism for this effect of NMDN+PC is related to the inhibition of glycogenolysis.

Abstract
The present study investigated the effects of ischemic preconditioning (IPC) and nicorandil pretreatment on myocardial storage in a donor heart preservation model. Isolated rat hearts were separated into groups: group 1, non-preconditioned control group; group 2, 2.5 min of normothermic ischemia followed by 15 min of normothermic Langendorff perfusion (one IPC cycle); and group 3, 2 cycles of IPC. All hearts were subsequently stored in University of Wisconsin solution at 4 degrees C for 2, 4 and 6h, and the concentrations of high-energy phosphate metabolites were measured for each time point. Heart function parameters (aortic flow, coronary flow and cardiac output) were measured when the heart was reperfused following the 2, 4 or 6 h of preservation. The effects of nicorandil, an ATP-sensitive potassium channel opener, on heart function following preservation were also evaluated. Nicorandil was injected intravenously before heart harvesting. The results showed that the energy status was well preserved in the IPC groups. The 2-cycle IPC group showed better recovery of heart function following preservation. Pretreatment with nicorandil also improved functional recovery of the heart following preservation. The present study showed that IPC of the rat heart resulted in improved myocardial energy metabolism and functional recovery after hypothermic preservation, and that nicorandil has potential for pharmacological preconditioning in heart preservation for transplantation.

Abstract
Preischaemic treatment with N-methyl-1-deoxynojirimycin (MOR-14), an alpha-1,6-glucosidase inhibitor, attenuates glycogenolysis and lactate accumulation during ischaemia and markedly reduces infarct size in rabbit hearts. In the present study, we have investigated whether protein kinase C (PKC), a principal mediator of ischaemic preconditioning, is also involved in the cardioprotective effect of MOR-14. To assess the effect of PKC inhibition on infarct size in MOR-14-treated hearts, 38 rabbits were subjected to 30 min of ischaemia followed by 48 h of reperfusion. Infarct size, as a per cent of area at risk, was significantly smaller in rabbits administered 100 mg kg(-1) of MOR-14 10 min before ischaemia (17+/-2%, n=10), than in a control group (46+/-5%, n=10). This beneficial effect of MOR-14 was abolished when 5 mg kg(-1) of chelerythrine, a PKC inhibitor, was given 10 min prior to MOR-14 injection (39+/-4%, n=10), although chelerythrine alone did not alter infarct size (43+/-4%, n=8). Further, chelerythrine had no effect on MOR-14-induced attenuation of glycogen breakdown and lactate accumulation in hearts excised at 30 min of ischaemia. Immunoblot analysis of PKC in homogenates of Langendorff-perfused rabbit hearts revealed that MOR-14 significantly increased levels of PKC-epsilon in the particulate fraction at 20 and 30 min of ischaemia and in the cytosolic fraction at 30 min of ischaemia. Taken as a whole, our data suggest that PKC acts downstream of the inhibition of glycogenolysis by MOR-14 to reduce infarct size. Thus, activation of PKC is a more direct mediator of the cardioprotection afforded by MOR-14 than is inhibition of glycogenolysis.

Abstract
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.

Abstract
This study investigated whether aldose reductase (AR) inhibition with zopolrestat, either alone or in combination with an adenosine A(3)-receptor agonist (CB-MECA), reduced myocardial ischemic injury in rabbit hearts subjected to 30 min of regional ischemia and 120 min of reperfusion. Zopolrestat reduced infarct size by up to 61%, both in vitro (2 nM to 1 microM; EC(50) = 24 nM) and in vivo (50 mg/kg). Zopolrestat reduced myocardial sorbitol concentration (index of AR activity) by >50% (control, 15.0 +/- 2.2 nmol/g; 200 nM zopolrestat, 6.7 +/- 1.3 nmol/g). A modestly cardioprotective concentration of CB-MECA (0.2 nM) allowed a 50-fold reduction in zopolrestat concentration while providing a similar reduction in infarct size (infarct area/area at risk: control, 62 +/- 2%; 1 microM zopolrestat, 24 +/- 5%; 20 nM zopolrestat plus 0.2 nM CB-MECA, 20 +/- 4%). In conclusion, AR inhibition is cardioprotective both in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, combining zopolrestat with an A(3) agonist allows a reduction in the zopolrestat concentration while maintaining an equivalent degree of cardioprotection.

Abstract
We evaluated the possibility that ischemic preconditioning could modify hepatic energy metabolism during ischemia. Accordingly, high-energy nucleotides and their degradation products, glycogen and glycolytic intermediates and regulatory metabolites, were compared between preconditioned and nonpreconditioned livers. Preconditioning preserved to a greater extent ATP, adenine nucleotide pool, and adenylate energy charge; the accumulation of adenine nucleosides and bases was much lower in preconditioned livers, thus reflecting slower adenine nucleotide degradation. These effects were associated with a decrease in glycogen depletion and reduced accumulation of hexose 6-phosphates and lactate. 6-Phosphofructo-2-kinase decreased in both groups, reducing the availability of fructose-2, 6-bisphosphate. Preconditioning sustained metabolite concentration at higher levels although this was not correlated with an increased glycolytic rate, suggesting that adenine nucleotides and cAMP may play the main role in the modulation of glycolytic pathway. Preconditioning attenuated the rise in cAMP and limited the accumulation of hexose 6-phosphates and lactate, probably by reducing glycogen depletion. Our results suggest the induction of metabolic arrest and/or associated metabolic downregulation as energetic cost-saving mechanisms that could be induced by preconditioning.

Abstract
Recent studies on the IF(1) inhibitor protein of the mitochondrial F(1)F(0)-ATPase from molecular biochemistry to possible pathophysiological roles are reviewed. The apparent mechanism of IF(1) inhibition of F(1)F(0)-ATPase activity and the biophysical conditions that influence IF(1) activity are summarized. The amino acid sequences of human, bovine, rat and murine IF(1) are compared and domains and residues implicated in IF(1) function examined. Defining the minimal inhibitory sequence of IF(1) and the role of conserved histidines and conformational changes using peptides or recombinant IF(1) is reviewed. Luft's disease, a mitochondrial myopathy where IF(1) is absent, is described with respect to IF(1) relevance to mitochondrial bioenergetics and clinical observations. The possible pathophysiological role of IF(1) in conserving ATP under conditions where cells experience oxygen deprivation (tumor growth, myocardial ischemia) is evaluated. Finally, studies attempting to correlate IF(1) activity to ATP conservation in myocardial ischemic preconditioning are compared.

Abstract
The perpetual and vigorous nature of heart muscle work requires efficient myocardial energetics. This depends not only on adequate ATP production, but also on efficient delivery of ATP to muscle ATPases and rapid removal of ADP and other by-products of ATP hydrolysis. Indeed, recent evidence indicates that defects in communication between ATP-producing and ATP-consuming cellular sites are a major factor contributing to energetic deficiency in heart failure. In particular, the failing myocardium is characterized by reduced catalytic activity of creatine kinase, adenylate kinase, carbonic anhydrase, and glycolytic enzymes, which collectively facilitate ATP delivery and promote removal of ADP, Pi, and H+ from cellular ATPases. Although energy transfer through adenylate kinase and glycolytic enzymes has been recognized as an adaptive mechanism supporting compromised muscle energetics, in the failing myocardium the total compensatory potential of these systems is diminished. A gradual accumulation of defects at various steps in myocardial energetic signaling, along with compromised compensatory mechanisms, precipitates failure of the whole cardiac energetic system, ultimately contributing to myocardial dysfunction. These advances in our understanding of the molecular bioenergetics in heart failure provide a new perspective toward improving the energetic balance of the failing myocardium.

Abstract
Chronic cerebrovascular disorders are often complicated by additional temporary ischaemic insults, resulting in substantial deterioration of brain energy metabolism. In the present study, chronic limitations of oxygen supply were induced in Wistar rats by 2 weeks of permanent bilateral common carotid artery occlusion (2-vo) to initiate a 'preconditioning-like' effect that protects rat brain energy metabolism against further acute systemic hypotension (15 min). Haemodynamic parameters, arterial blood gases and body temperature were monitored. Energy metabolites were determined in rat parietotemporal cerebral cortex: adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP), adenosine 5'-diphosphate (ADP), adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP), phosphocreatine (PCr), and adenosine by the high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) technique and lactate spectrophotometrically. After 2 weeks, permanent 2-vo led to a significant decrease in the concentrations of cortical tissue ATP and PCr, from 3.06+/-0.48 to 2. 09+/-0.28 and from 4.27+/-0.63 to 3.35+/-0.41 micromol/g, respectively. These changes were associated with a two-fold increase in AMP and adenosine. Acute systemic hypotension alone (non-preconditioning) reduced ATP and PCr drastically, to 0.97+/-0. 51 and 1.76+/-1.23 micromol/g. Tissue concentrations of lactate, AMP, and adenosine were markedly increased, three- to five-fold, in 'non-preconditioned' brain tissue. In contrast, after 2 weeks of 2-vo acute hypotension did not significantly alter the cortical energy state any further. The effects of preconditioning on tissue ATP and PCr were most pronounced at 5 min and 48 h after reperfusion. In conclusion, permanent 2-vo seems to activate compensatory mechanisms, which effectively protect the rat's cortical energy metabolism against an additional ischaemic attack ('preconditioning-like' effect).

Abstract
1. We examined whether N-hydroxyethyl-1-deoxynojirimycin (miglitol), a new human anti-diabetic drug with effects to inhibit alpha-1, 6-glucosidase glycogen debranching enzyme and reduce the glycogenolytic rate as well as to inhibit alpha-1,4-glucosidase, could reduce infarct size in the rabbit heart. Rabbits were subjected to 30-min coronary occlusion followed by 48-h reperfusion. 2. The infarct size as a percentage of area at risk was not reduced by pre-ischaemic treatment with 1 mg kg(-1) miglitol (42.7+/-4.0%, n=10) compared with the saline control group (41.7+/-2.3%, n=10). However, it was significantly and dose-dependently reduced by pre-ischaemic treatment with 5 or 10 mg kg(-1) of miglitol (25.7+/-4. 5%, n=10, and 14.6+/-2.4%, n=10, respectively) without altering the blood pressure, heart rate or blood glucose level. However, there was no evidence of an infarct-size reducing effect after pre-reperfusion treatment with 10 mg kg(-1) of miglitol (35.0+/-3.0%, n=10). 3. Another 40 rabbits given 1, 5 and 10 mg kg(-1) of miglitol or saline before ischaemia (n=10 in each) were sacrificed at 30 min of ischaemia for biochemical analysis. Miglitol preserved significantly the glycogen content, and attenuated significantly the lactate accumulation in a dose dependent manner in the ischaemic region at 30 min of ischaemia. 4. Pre-ischaemic treatment, but not pre-reperfusion treatment, with miglitol markedly reduced the myocardial infarct size, independently of blood pressure and heart rate. A dose-dependent effect of miglitol on infarct size, glycogenolysis and lactate formation suggests that the mechanism may be related to the inhibition of glycogenolysis. Thus, miglitol may be beneficial for coronary heart disease as well as diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES Ischemia-reperfusion injury of the lung frequently occurs after cardiopulmonary bypass, after pulmonary thromboembolectomy, and especially during lung transplantation. The protective effects of preconditioning on the heart, liver, bones, and various other organs have been previously evaluated. In this comparative study, we used isolated guinea pig lungs to show the effects of preconditioning on lung ischemia. METHODS The lungs (n = 10 in each group) were mounted on a modified Langendorff perfusion apparatus and perfused by Krebs-Henseleit solution for 30 min. We applied an ischemic preconditioning (5 min ischemia + 5 min perfusion, two times) in the experimental group. After 3 h of normothermic ischemia, the lungs were reperfused for 30 min. Pulmonary artery pressures and malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH) levels of the tissue and the perfusate were measured before and after the ischemic period and also at the end of reperfusion. Electron microscopic evaluation was done on randomly selected lungs of three animals in each group at the end of the experiment. RESULTS Both MDA and GSH levels of tissue and perfusate decreased in the experimental group after reperfusion, although the reduction in GSH levels did not reach statistical significance. The increase in pulmonary artery pressure was lower in the preconditioning group after reperfusion. CONCLUSIONS Our data showed that ischemic preconditioning of the lung may have a protective effect in ischemic-reperfusion injury.

Abstract
Experimentally, enhanced glycolytic flux has been shown to confer many benefits to the ischemic heart, including maintenance of membrane activity, inhibition of contracture, reduced arrhythmias, and improved functional recovery. While at moderate low coronary flows, the benefits of glycolysis appear extensive, the controversy arises at very low flow rates, in the absence of flow; or when glycolytic substrate may be present in excess, such that high glucose concentrations with or without insulin overload the cell with deleterious metabolites. Under conditions of total global ischemia, glycogen is the only substrate for glycolytic flux. Glycogenolysis may only be protective until the accumulation of metabolites (lactate, H+, NADH, sugar phosphates and Pi ) outweighs the benefit of the ATP produced. The possible deleterious effects associated with increased glycolysis cannot be ignored, and may explain some of the controversial findings reported in the literature. However, an optimal balance between the rate of ATP production and rate of accumulation of metabolites (determined by the glycolytic flux rate and the rate of coronary washout), may ensure optimal recovery. In addition, the effects of glucose utilisation must be distinguished from those of glycogen, differences which may be explained by functional compartmentation within the cell.

Abstract
BACKGROUND N-methyl-1-deoxynojirimycin (MOR-14), an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor, reduces the glycogenolytic rate by inhibiting the alpha-1,6-glucosidase of glycogen-debranching enzyme in the liver, in addition to possessing an antihyperglycemic action by blocking alpha-1,4-glucosidase in the intestine. Because the reduction of the glycogenolytic rate may be one of the mechanisms of myocardial protection in ischemic preconditioning, the compounds inhibiting myocardial alpha-1,6-glucosidase may be protective against ischemic damage. Thus, we investigated whether MOR-14 could inhibit alpha-1,6-glucosidase and reduce the infarct size in rabbit hearts without collateral circulation. METHODS AND RESULTS MOR-14 dose-dependently decreased the alpha-1,6-glucosidase activity in rabbit heart extract. A tracer study demonstrated the myocardial uptake of a considerable amount of MOR-14 sufficient to fully inhibit alpha-1,6-glucosidase. To assess the infarct size-reducing effect of MOR-14, 54 rabbits were subjected to 30-minute coronary occlusion followed by 48-hour reperfusion. Preischemic treatment with 25, 50, and 100 mg/kg of MOR-14 dose-dependently reduced the infarct size (to 26+/-4%, 19+/-3%, and 14+/-2% of the area at risk, respectively), compared with the saline control (45+/-5%) without altering the blood pressure or heart rate. Another 40 rabbits given 100 mg of MOR-14 or saline 10 minutes before ischemia were euthanized at 10 or 30 minutes of ischemia for biochemical analysis. MOR-14 decreased the alpha-1,6-glucosidase activity to approximately 20% in vivo, reduced the glycogen breakdown, and attenuated the lactate accumulation at both 10 and 30 minutes of ischemia. CONCLUSIONS Preischemic treatment with MOR-14 preserved glycogen, attenuated the accumulation of lactate, and reduced the myocardial infarct size by 69%. This cardioprotective effect was independent of changes of blood pressure and heart rate or regional blood flow. It may be associated with alpha-1,6-glucosidase inhibition, because MOR-14 markedly decreased the alpha-1,6-glucosidase activity in the heart.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Myocardial ischemic preconditioning is a well-known phenomenon, however there is scant information in regard to nonischemic preconditioning. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied in anesthetized dogs the preconditioning effect of tachycardia and the mediation of adenosine and protein kinase C in this process. In a control group the anterior descending coronary artery was occluded for 60 minutes and reperfused for 270 minutes. Heart rate was kept constant at 120 +/- 5 cycles/min and aortic pressure changes were damped. The infarct size (necrotic volume/risk region volume x 100) was 15.8 +/- 1.5%. In another group of dogs a similar protocol was followed, but five periods of tachycardia (213 +/- 12 cycles/min), 5 minutes in duration each, with 5 minutes of intervening periods at control heart rate, were induced previous to the coronary occlusion. The infarct size was reduced by 46% (P<.001) with respect to the nonpreconditioned group. This effect was not due to changes in collateral flow nor risk region size. During tachycardia, myocardial interstitial adenosine increased about twofold (P<.05); no metabolic, hemodynamic, or ECG evidences of ischemia were observed and the transmural vasodilatory reserve was preserved. The blockade of adenosine receptors with 8 phenyltheophylline, before or after the preconditioning tachycardia, reverted its protecting effect but it did not modify infarct size in nonpreconditioned dogs. No changes in cytosolic or particulate protein kinase C activity or translocation of alpha-, beta-, epsilon-, and zeta- protein kinase C isozyme by effect of tachycardia or ischemia were observed between preconditioned and nonpreconditioned dogs. CONCLUSIONS Tachycardia, in the absence of ischemia, mimics the preconditioning effect of ischemia in the dog. This effect is mediated by adenosine but not by changes in protein kinase C activity or its translocation.

Abstract
Myocardial ischemia, even if it persists for a prolonged period of time, does not inevitably induce irreversible damage. Recent studies have identified 2 phenomena that are characterized by endogenous cardioprotective features, i.e., myocardial hibernation and ischemic preconditioning. Myocardial hibernation is characterized by chronic contractile dysfunction during persistent ischemia. The myocardium remains viable, and function is restored upon reperfusion. Ischemic preconditioning is characterized by delayed development of infarct size when prolonged and severe myocardial ischemia is preceded > or = 1 short-lasting episodes of ischemia and reperfusion. While ischemic preconditioning involves the activation of the adenosine A1 receptor, the bradykinin receptor, and activation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-dependent potassium channels, the mechanisms underlying myocardial hibernation are still unclear.

Abstract
1. Ischaemic preconditioning (IP) protects the myocardium against irreversible ischaemic injury by activating protein kinase C (PKC). The mechanism by which PKC protects the myocardium is unknown. We have shown that PKC increases the activity of ecto-5'-nucleotidase (ecto-5'-N) and thereby the production of adenosine in cardiomyocytes which may protect the myocardium against ischaemia-reperfusion injury in vivo. 2. The objective of this study was to elucidate the possible role of PKC-induced activation of ecto-5'-N in the cardioprotection associated with IP in the canine heart. 3. IP increased the activities of both ecto-5'-N and PKC, and minimized ischaemic damage (infarct size: 7.5 +/- 1.8 vs. 42.3 +/- 2.8%, P < 0.01 vs. the control group). Treatment with the PKC activator (4 beta-phorbol 12-myristate-13-acetate) also reduced infarct size (13.5 +/- 2.9%, P < 0.01 vs. the control group). 8-Sulfophenyltheophylline (an antagonist of adenosine receptors) or alpha,beta-methyleneadenosine 5'-diphosphate (an inhibitor of ecto-5'-N) eliminated the cardioprotective effect of the PKC activator (infarct size: 36.6 +/- 3.9 and 34.7 +/- 4.2%, respectively), suggesting that PMA limits infarct size by increasing the activity of ecto-5'-N and the adenosine level. 4. The PMA-induced cardioprotection was blunted by GF109203X (an inhibitor of PKC, infarct size: 36.2 +/- 3.1%), but not by pretreatment with dexamethasone (infarct size, 14.2 +/- 2.6%). 5. We conclude that the PMA- and IP-induced cardioprotection is attributable to phosphorylation and activation of ecto-5'-N.

Abstract
Preconditioning is known to decelerate degradation of the tissue adenine nucleotides during ischemia and to delay ischemic myocardial necrosis. However, it is not known whether these two phenomena are related. To obtain an insight into this question, the present study examined whether adenosine and B2 receptor antagonists, which block the infarct size-limiting effect of preconditioning, modify the interstitial purine levels during preconditioning and subsequent sustained ischemia. In pentobarbital anesthetized open-chest rabbits, a microdialysis probe was placed in the territory of a branch of the left coronary artery, and perfused with Ringer solution. Preconditioning was performed with 5 min ischemia/5 min reperfusion. Dialysate adenosine and inosine were elevated from the baseline values of 0.064 +/- 0.011 and 0.329 +/- 0.044 microM to 0.189 +/- 0.069 and 4.106 +/- 1.451 microM, respectively during preconditioning, but their elevation during a subsequent 20 min of ischemia was significantly lower compared with that in the non-preconditioned myocardium. This suppression of the purine accumulation during ischemia by preconditioning was not abolished by 2 micrograms/kg of Hoe 140, a specific B2 receptor antagonist, or by 10 mg/kg of 8-phenyltheophylline, a non-selective adenosine receptor antagonist. Since the doses of Hoe 140 and 8-phenyltheophylline are sufficient to block the infarct size-limiting effect of preconditioning, the present results suggest that there is a dissociation between the suppression of adenine nucleotide degradation during ischemia by preconditioning and the enhancement of myocardial resistance against infarction. Thus, it is unlikely that a reduction of adenine nucleotide utilization by preconditioning is sufficient to protect the myocardium against ischemic necrosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of the present study was to assess whether brief, repeated coronary artery occlusions during balloon angioplasty induce a myocardial ischemic protective effect. BACKGROUND In animals, brief coronary artery occlusions preceding a more prolonged occlusion result in reduced infarct size. Whether myocardial protection against ischemia could also occur in humans during angioplasty remains controversial. METHODS Thirteen patients with a proximal left anterior descending coronary artery stenosis with no angiographic collateral circulation underwent percutaneous transluminal coronary artery balloon angioplasty. Three 120-s balloon inflations separated by a 5-min equilibration period were performed. For each inflation, intracoronary ST segment modifications, septal wall thickening (M-mode echocardiography), left ventricular pressures and time derivatives were measured at baseline and at 30, 60 and 90 s after balloon inflation and 120 s after balloon deflation. RESULTS Intracoronary electrocardiographic analysis showed that the time course of the maximal ST segment elevation was identical at each inflation, as were wall motion changes assessed by the decrease in septal wall thickening. For the first and last inflations, peak positive dP/dt decreased significantly by 13 +/- 9% (mean +/- SD) and 14 +/- 13%, whereas peak negative dP/dt increased by 23 +/- 15% and 22 +/- 10%, respectively (all p < 0.01 from baseline values). The relaxation time constant, tau, was altered similarly during the different inflations, from 44 +/- 6 to 74 +/- 13 ms and from 57 +/- 13 to 77 +/- 13 ms (all p < 0.001) for the first and last inflations, respectively. Left ventricular end-diastolic pressure increased to the same level after each inflation. In contrast to other hemodynamic variables, tau and left ventricular end-diastolic pressure did not return to baseline values in between the inflations, which may be due to myocardial stunning. CONCLUSIONS In patients with proximal left anterior descending coronary artery stenosis and no evidence of collateral circulation, brief periods of ischemia, such as those used during routine coronary balloon angioplasty, do not provide any protection against myocardial ischemia.
