Stem cell-derived exosome patch with coronary artery bypass graft restores cardiac function in chronically ischemic porcine myocardium. J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 2023; 166:e512-e530. [PMID: 37482241 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtcvs.2023.07.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2023] [Revised: 07/01/2023] [Accepted: 07/16/2023] [Indexed: 07/25/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate whether or not the application of a stem cell-derived exosome-laden collagen patch (EXP) during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) can recover cardiac function by modulating mitochondrial bioenergetics and myocardial inflammation in hibernating myocardium (HIB), which is defined as myocardium with reduced blood flow and function that retains viability and variable contractile reserve. METHODS In vitro methods involved exposing H9C2 cardiomyocytes to hypoxia followed by normoxic coculture with porcine mesenchymal stem cells. Mitochondrial respiration was measured using Seahorse assay. GW4869, an exosomal release antagonist, was used to determine the effect of mesenchymal stem cells-derived exosomal signaling on cardiomyocyte recovery. Total exosomal RNA was isolated and differential micro RNA expression determined by sequencing. In vivo studies comprised 48 Yorkshire-Landrace juvenile swine (6 normal controls, 17 HIB, 19 CABG, and 6 CABG + EXP), which were compared for physiologic and metabolic changes. HIB was created by placing a constrictor on the proximal left anterior descending artery, causing significant stenosis but preserved viability by 12 weeks. CABG was performed with or without mesenchymal stem cells-derived EXP application and animals recovered for 4 weeks. Before terminal procedure, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging at rest, and with low-dose dobutamine, assessed diastolic relaxation, systolic function, graft patency, and myocardial viability. Tissue studies of inflammation, fibrosis, and mitochondrial morphology were performed posttermination. RESULTS In vitro data demonstrated improved cardiomyocyte mitochondrial respiration upon coculture with MSCs that was blunted when adding the exosomal antagonist GW4869. RNA sequencing identified 8 differentially expressed micro RNAs in normoxia vs hypoxia-induced exosomes that may modulate the expression of key mitochondrial (peroxisome proliferator-activator receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha and adenosine triphosphate synthase) and inflammatory mediators (nuclear factor kappa-light-chain enhancer of activated B cells, interferon gamma, and interleukin 1β). In vivo animal magnetic resonance imaging studies demonstrated regional systolic function and diastolic relaxation to be improved with CABG + EXP compared with HIB (P = .02 and P = .02, respectively). Histologic analysis showed increased interstitial fibrosis and inflammation in HIB compared with CABG + EXP. Electron microscopy demonstrated increased mitochondrial area, perimeter, and aspect ratio in CABG + EXP compared with HIB or CABG alone (P < .0001). CONCLUSIONS Exosomes recovered cardiomyocyte mitochondrial respiration and reduced myocardial inflammation through paracrine signaling, resulting in improved cardiac function.

Abstract
Recurrent myocardial ischemia can lead to left ventricular (LV) dysfunction in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). In this observational cohort study, we assessed for chronic metabolomic and transcriptomic adaptations within LV myocardium of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting. During surgery, paired transmural LV biopsies were acquired on the beating heart from regions with and without evidence of inducible ischemia on preoperative stress perfusion cardiovascular magnetic resonance. From 33 patients, 63 biopsies were acquired, compared to analysis of LV samples from 11 donor hearts. The global myocardial adenosine triphosphate (ATP):adenosine diphosphate (ADP) ratio was reduced in patients with CAD as compared to donor LV tissue, with increased expression of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) genes encoding the electron transport chain complexes across multiple cell types. Paired analyses of biopsies obtained from LV segments with or without inducible ischemia revealed no significant difference in the ATP:ADP ratio, broader metabolic profile or expression of ventricular cardiomyocyte genes implicated in OXPHOS. Differential metabolite analysis suggested dysregulation of several intermediates in patients with reduced LV ejection fraction, including succinate. Overall, our results suggest that viable myocardium in patients with stable CAD has global alterations in bioenergetic and transcriptional profile without large regional differences between areas with or without inducible ischemia.

An Adjuvant Stem Cell Patch with Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery Improves Diastolic Recovery in Porcine Hibernating Myocardium. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24065475. [PMID: 36982547 PMCID: PMC10049498 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24065475] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2023] [Revised: 03/02/2023] [Accepted: 03/10/2023] [Indexed: 03/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Diastolic dysfunction persists despite coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) in patients with hibernating myocardium (HIB). We studied whether the adjunctive use of a mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) patch during CABG improves diastolic function by reducing inflammation and fibrosis. HIB was induced in juvenile swine by placing a constrictor on the left anterior descending (LAD) artery, causing myocardial ischemia without infarction. At 12 weeks, CABG was performed using the left-internal-mammary-artery (LIMA)-to-LAD graft with or without placement of an epicardial vicryl patch embedded with MSCs, followed by four weeks of recovery. The animals underwent cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) prior to sacrifice, and tissue from septal and LAD regions were collected to assess for fibrosis and analyze mitochondrial and nuclear isolates. During low-dose dobutamine infusion, diastolic function was significantly reduced in HIB compared to the control, with significant improvement after CABG + MSC treatment. In HIB, we observed increased inflammation and fibrosis without transmural scarring, along with decreased peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator (PGC1α), which could be a possible mechanism underlying diastolic dysfunction. Improvement in PGC1α and diastolic function was noted with revascularization and MSCs, along with decreased inflammatory signaling and fibrosis. These findings suggest that adjuvant cell-based therapy during CABG may recover diastolic function by reducing oxidant stress–inflammatory signaling and myofibroblast presence in the myocardial tissue.

Novel Therapeutic Approaches Enhance PGC1-alpha to Reduce Oxidant Stress-Inflammatory Signaling and Improve Functional Recovery in Hibernating Myocardium. Antioxidants (Basel) 2022; 11:2155. [PMID: 36358527 PMCID: PMC9686496 DOI: 10.3390/antiox11112155] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2022] [Revised: 10/29/2022] [Accepted: 10/30/2022] [Indexed: 09/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Ischemic heart disease affects millions of people around the world. Current treatment options, including coronary artery bypass grafting, do not result in full functional recovery, highlighting the need for novel adjunctive therapeutic approaches. Hibernation describes the myocardial response to prolonged ischemia and involves a set of complex cytoprotective metabolic and functional adaptations. PGC1-alpha, a key regulator of mitochondrial energy metabolism and inhibitor of oxidant-stress-inflammatory signaling, is known to be downregulated in hibernating myocardium. PGC1-alpha is a critical component of cellular stress responses and links cellular metabolism with inflammation in the ischemic heart. While beneficial in the acute setting, a chronic state of hibernation can be associated with self-perpetuating oxidant stress-inflammatory signaling which leads to tissue injury. It is likely that incomplete functional recovery following revascularization of chronically ischemic myocardium is due to persistence of metabolic changes as well as prooxidant and proinflammatory signaling. Enhancement of PGC1-alpha signaling has been proposed as a possible way to improve functional recovery in patients with ischemic heart disease. Adjunctive mesenchymal stem cell therapy has been shown to induce PGC1-alpha signaling in hibernating myocardium and could help improve clinical outcomes for patients undergoing bypass surgery.

Abstract
The coronary microvasculature plays a key role in regulating the tight coupling between myocardial perfusion and myocardial oxygen demand across a wide range of cardiac activity. Short-term regulation of coronary blood flow in response to metabolic stimuli is achieved via adjustment of vascular diameter in different segments of the microvasculature in conjunction with mechanical forces eliciting myogenic and flow-mediated vasodilation. In contrast, chronic adjustments in flow regulation also involve microvascular structural modifications, termed remodeling. Vascular remodeling encompasses changes in microvascular diameter and/or density being largely modulated by mechanical forces acting on the endothelium and vascular smooth muscle cells. Whereas in recent years, substantial knowledge has been gathered regarding the molecular mechanisms controlling microvascular tone and how these are altered in various diseases, the structural adaptations in response to pathologic situations are less well understood. In this article, we review the factors involved in coronary microvascular functional and structural alterations in obstructive and non-obstructive coronary artery disease and the molecular mechanisms involved therein with a focus on mechanobiology. Cardiovascular risk factors including metabolic dysregulation, hypercholesterolemia, hypertension and aging have been shown to induce microvascular (endothelial) dysfunction and vascular remodeling. Additionally, alterations in biomechanical forces produced by a coronary artery stenosis are associated with microvascular functional and structural alterations. Future studies should be directed at further unraveling the mechanisms underlying the coronary microvascular functional and structural alterations in disease; a deeper understanding of these mechanisms is critical for the identification of potential new targets for the treatment of ischemic heart disease.

Abstract
Unlike acute myocardial infarction with reperfusion, in which infarct size is the end point reflecting irreversible injury, myocardial stunning and hibernation result from reversible myocardial ischaemia-reperfusion injury, and contractile dysfunction is the obvious end point. Stunned myocardium is characterized by a disproportionately long-lasting, yet fully reversible, contractile dysfunction that follows brief bouts of myocardial ischaemia. Reperfusion precipitates a burst of reactive oxygen species formation and alterations in excitation-contraction coupling, which interact and cause the contractile dysfunction. Hibernating myocardium is characterized by reduced regional contractile function and blood flow, which both recover after reperfusion or revascularization. Short-term myocardial hibernation is an adaptation of contractile function to the reduced blood flow such that energy and substrate metabolism recover during the ongoing ischaemia. Chronic myocardial hibernation is characterized by severe morphological alterations and altered expression of metabolic and pro-survival proteins. Myocardial stunning is observed clinically and must be recognized but is rarely haemodynamically compromising and does not require treatment. Myocardial hibernation is clinically identified with the use of imaging techniques, and the myocardium recovers after revascularization. Several trials in the past two decades have challenged the superiority of revascularization over medical therapy for symptomatic relief and prognosis in patients with chronic coronary syndromes. A better understanding of the pathophysiology of myocardial stunning and hibernation is important for a more precise indication of revascularization and its consequences. Therefore, this Review summarizes the current knowledge of the pathophysiology of these characteristic reperfusion phenomena and highlights their clinical implications.

Abstract
Breath-hold divers (BHD) enduring apnea for more than 4 min are characterized by resistance to release of reactive oxygen species, reduced sensitivity to hypoxia, and low mitochondrial oxygen consumption in their skeletal muscles similar to northern elephant seals. The muscles and myocardium of harbor seals also exhibit metabolic adaptations including increased cardiac lactate-dehydrogenase-activity, exceeding their hypoxic limit. We hypothesized that the myocardium of BHD possesses similar adaptive mechanisms. During maximum apnea 15O-H2O-PET/CT (n = 6) revealed no myocardial perfusion deficits but increased myocardial blood flow (MBF). Cardiac MRI determined blood oxygen level dependence oxygenation (n = 8) after 4 min of apnea was unaltered compared to rest, whereas cine-MRI demonstrated increased left ventricular wall thickness (LVWT). Arterial blood gases were collected after warm-up and maximum apnea in a pool. At the end of the maximum pool apnea (5 min), arterial saturation decreased to 52%, and lactate decreased 20%. Our findings contrast with previous MR studies of BHD, that reported elevated cardiac troponins and decreased myocardial perfusion after 4 min of apnea. In conclusion, we demonstrated for the first time with 15O-H2O-PET/CT and MRI in elite BHD during maximum apnea, that MBF and LVWT increases while lactate decreases, indicating anaerobic/fat-based cardiac-metabolism similar to diving mammals.

Abstract
Medical imaging derived cardiac biomechanical models offer a wealth of new information to be used in diagnosis and prognosis of cardiovascular disease. A noteworthy feature of such models is the ability to predict myofiber contraction stresses during acute or chronic ischemic events. Current techniques for heterogeneous contraction models require tissue motion tracking capabilities which are neither available on all imaging modalities, nor currently used in the clinic. Proposed in this article is a proof of concept of a tissue tracking independent technique focused on shape optimization to predict the contraction stresses of in-silico left ventricle models simulating various acute myocardial infarction events. The technique involves three variables defined in the left ventricle muscle. Two of the variables represent the contraction stresses in the healthy and infarct regions while the third is a novel periinfarct variable defining a non-contracting myofiber state allowing finer classification of local myofiber damage. Results indicate that the contraction stress reconstruction errors are overall smaller than 12% when considering standard errors associated with population modelling for the new variable of interest.

Abstract
Although myocardial ischaemia usually manifests as a consequence of atherosclerosis-dependent obstructive epicardial coronary artery disease, a significant percentage of patients suffer ischaemic events in the absence of epicardial coronary artery obstruction. Experimental and clinical evidence highlight the abnormalities of the coronary microcirculation as a main cause of myocardial ischaemia in patients with 'normal or near normal' coronary arteries on angiography. Coronary microvascular disturbances have been associated with early stages of atherosclerosis even prior to any angiographic evidence of epicardial coronary stenosis, as well as to other cardiac pathologies such as myocardial hypertrophy and heart failure. The main objectives of the manuscript are (i) to provide updated evidence in our current understanding of the pathophysiological consequences of microvascular dysfunction in the heart; (ii) to report on the current knowledge on the relevance of cardiovascular risk factors and comorbid conditions for microcirculatory dysfunction; and (iii) to evidence the relevance of the clinical consequences of microvascular dysfunction. Highlighting the clinical importance of coronary microvascular dysfunction will open the field for research and the development of novel strategies for intervention will encourage early detection of subclinical disease and will help in the stratification of cardiovascular risk in agreement with the new concept of precision medicine.

iTRAQ-based proteomic analysis after mesenchymal stem cell line transplantation for ischemic stroke. Brain Res 2020; 1742:146900. [PMID: 32445714 DOI: 10.1016/j.brainres.2020.146900] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2019] [Revised: 05/01/2020] [Accepted: 05/18/2020] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
Transplantation with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has been reported to promote functional recovery in animal models of ischemic stroke. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the therapeutic effects of MSC transplantation have been only partially elucidated. The purpose of this study was to comprehensively identify changes in brain proteins in rats treated with MSCs for ischemic stroke, and to explore the multi-target mechanisms of MSCs using a proteomics-based strategy. Twenty-eight proteins were found to be differentially expressed following B10 MSC transplantation in adult male Wistar rats, as assessed using isobaric tagging for relative and absolute protein quantification (iTRAQ). Subsequent bioinformatic analysis revealed that these proteins were mainly associated with energy metabolism, glutamate excitotoxicity, oxidative stress, and brain structural and functional plasticity. Immunohistochemical staining revealed decreased expression of EAAT1 in the phosphate-buffered saline group as opposed to normal levels in the B10 transplantation group. Furthermore, ATP levels were also significantly higher in the B10 transplantation group, thus supporting the iTRAQ results. Our results suggest that the therapeutic effects of B10 transplantation might arise from the modulation of the acute ischemic cascade via multiple molecular pathways. Thus, our findings provide valuable clues to elucidate the mechanisms underlying the therapeutic effects of MSC transplantation in ischemic stroke.

Weil BR, Suzuki G, Canty JM. Transmural variation in microvascular remodeling following percutaneous revascularization of a chronic coronary stenosis in swine. Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol 2020; 318:H696-H705. [PMID: 32056445 PMCID: PMC7099450 DOI: 10.1152/ajpheart.00502.2019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2019] [Revised: 01/30/2020] [Accepted: 02/10/2020] [Indexed: 01/09/2023]
Abstract
Remodeling of the coronary microcirculation is known to occur distal to a chronic coronary stenosis, but the reversibility of these changes and their functional significance on maximum myocardial perfusion before and after revascularization is unknown. Accordingly, swine instrumented with a chronic silastic stenosis on the left anterior descending coronary artery to produce hibernating myocardium underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI; n = 8) and were compared with animals with a persistent stenosis (n = 8), as well as sham controls (n = 6). Stenotic animals demonstrated an increased subendocardial arteriolar wall thickness-to-lumen ratio (37.8 ± 3.3 vs. 28.3 ± 1.3% in sham, P = 0.04), reduced lumen area per arteriole (597 ± 88 vs. 927 ± 113 μm2, P = 0.04), and a compensatory increase in arteriolar density (9.4 ± 1.0 vs. 5.3 ± 0.4 arterioles/mm2, P < 0.01). As a result, vasodilated flow immediately after PCI was similar to normally perfused remote regions (5.1 ± 1.0 vs. 4.8 ± 0.9 ml·min-1·g-1, P = 0.87). When assessed 1-mo after PCI, increases in wall thickness-to-lumen diameter (42.2 ± 3.3%) and reductions in lumen area per arteriole (638 ± 59 μm2) remained unchanged, but arteriolar density returned to normal (5.2 ± 0.5 arterioles/mm2). As a result, maximum subendocardial flow during adenosine declined and was lower than remote regions (2.6 ± 0.3 vs. 5.9 ± 1.1 ml·min-1·g-1, P = 0.01). There was no microvascular remodeling in subepicardial arterioles, and maximum perfusion remained unchanged. These data demonstrate that subendocardial microvascular remodeling occurs distal to a chronic epicardial stenosis. The regression of arteriolar density without increases in luminal area may precipitate stress-induced subendocardial ischemia in the absence of a physiologically significant stenosis.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Swine with a chronic coronary stenosis exhibit subendocardial microvascular remodeling distal to a critical stenosis characterized by an increase in arteriolar wall thickness and reduction in lumen area with a compensatory increase in arteriolar density. The present study is the first to demonstrate that subendocardial arteriolar density normalizes 1-mo after revascularization, but the lumen area of individual arterioles remains reduced. This leads to a reduction in maximal subendocardial perfusion at this time point despite initial normalization of vasodilator reserve after revascularization. This pattern of chronic microvascular structural remodeling could contribute to recurrent subendocardial ischemia in the absence of coronary restenosis during tachycardia and increases in myocardial oxygen demand.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to investigate the utility of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) applied as an epicardial patch during coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) to target hibernating myocardium; that is, tissue with persistently decreased myocardial function, in a large animal model. METHODS Hibernating myocardium was induced in juvenile swine (n = 12) using a surgically placed constrictor on the left anterior descending artery, causing stenosis without infarction. After 12 weeks, single-vessel CABG was performed using left internal thoracic artery to left anterior descending artery graft. During CABG, an epicardial patch was applied to the hibernating myocardium region consisting either of MSCs grown onto a polyglactin mesh (n = 6), or sham polyglactin mesh without MSCs (n = 6). Four weeks after CABG and patch placement, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging was performed and cardiac tissue was examined by gross inspection, including coronary dilators for vessel stenosis and patency, electron microscopy, protein assays, and proteomic analysis. RESULTS CABG + MSC myocardium showed improvement in contractile function (78.24% ± 19.6%) compared with sham patch (39.17% ± 5.57%) during inotropic stimulation (P < .05). Compared with sham patch control, electron microscopy of CABG + MSC myocardium showed improvement in mitochondrial size, number, and morphology; protein analysis similarly showed increases in expression of the mitochondrial biogenesis marker peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha (0.0022 ± 0.0009 vs 0.023 ± 0.009) (P < .01) along with key components of the electron transport chain, including succinate dehydrogenase (complex II) (0.06 ± 0.02 vs 0.14 ± 0.03) (P < .05) and adenosine triphosphate synthase (complex V) (2.7 ± 0.4 vs 4.2 ± 0.26) (P < .05). CONCLUSIONS In hibernating myocardium, placement of a stem cell patch during CABG shows promise in improving myocardial function by improving mitochondrial morphology and function.

Abstract
Background Expression of mitochondrial proteins is reduced within hibernating myocardium (HM). It is unclear whether dietary supplementation with CoQ10 can increase expression of mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) and antioxidant proteins within this tissue. In a swine model of HM, we tested whether dietary administration of CoQ10 for four weeks enhances the expression of ETC and antioxidant proteins within the mitochondria via increased PGC1α signaling. Methods 12 swine were instrumented with a fixed constrictor around the LAD artery to induce gradual stenosis. At three months, transthoracic ECHO was performed to confirm the presence of a wall motion abnormality in the anterior wall. Animals were then randomly assigned to receive daily dietary supplements of either CoQ10 (10 mg/kg/day) or placebo for four weeks. At this time, animals underwent a final ECHO and terminal procedure. Expression of nuclear-bound PGC1α (Western blots) and mitochondrial proteins (Tandem Mass Tag) were determined. Results Mitochondrial and nuclear membranes were isolated from the LAD region. Nuclear-bound PGC1α levels were > 200-fold higher with administration of four weeks of CoQ10 treatment (p = 0.016). Expression of ETC proteins was increased in those animals that received CoQ10. Compared with mitochondria in the LAD region from placebo-treated pigs, CoQ10-treated pigs had higher levels of Complex I (p = 0.03), Complex IV (p = 0.04) and Complex V (p = 0.028) peptides. Conclusions Four weeks of dietary CoQ10 in HM pigs enhances active, nuclear-bound PGC1α and increases the expression of ETC proteins within mitochondria of HM tissue.

Abstract
Hibernating myocardium is a subset of ischemic cardiac disease characterized by viable but dysfunctional tissue. Standard treatment for hibernating myocardium is coronary artery bypass graft, which reduces arrhythmias and improves survival but does not fully restore function, presenting a gap in currently available treatments. Large animal studies of hibernating myocardium have identified impaired mitochondrial dynamics as a root cause of persistent cardiac dysfunction despite surgical revascularization. This study presents a novel in vitro model of hibernating myocardium cardiomyocytes to study active mitochondrial respiration in hibernating myocardium cells, and to test the paracrine effect of mesenchymal stem cells on impaired mitochondrial function. Exposure of cardiomyocytes to hypoxic conditions of 1% oxygen for 24 hours resulted in a phenotype consistent with hibernating myocardium cardiac tissue, including decreased respiratory capacity under high work states, decreased expression of mitochondrial proteins, and preserved cellular viability. Co-culture of hibernating myocardium cardiomyocytes with mesenchymal stem cells restored mitochondrial respiratory function, potentially via an increase in proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha-driven mitochondrial biogenesis. Co-culture treatment of hibernating myocardium cardiomyocytes with mesenchymal stem cells shows improvement in both mitochondrial function and ATP production, both of which are critical for effectively functioning cardiac tissue. These results suggest that mesenchymal stem cell therapy as an adjunct treatment to revascularization may address the current gap in treatment for hibernating myocardium patients.

Abstract
Introduction: Interaction of blood with a cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) circuit activates the coagulation-fibrinolysis, complement and kinin-kallikrein systems that are mainly supported by proteases and their inhibitors. Methods: Biocompatibility of a new polymer-coated (SEC-coated) CPB circuit was globally evaluated and compared with that of a non-coated CPB circuit by quantitative proteomics, using isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification labeling tandem mass spectrometry. Plasma samples were taken three times (5 min after initiation of CPB, just before declamping and just before termination of CPB) in 12 pigs undergoing 120 min of CPB with the SEC-coated CPB circuit or a non-coated CPB circuit (n = 6, respectively). Results: Identified were 224 proteins having high protein confidence (>99%) and false discovery rate (FDR) <5%. Among these proteins, there were 25 significantly upregulated proteins in the non-coated CPB group compared to those in the SEC-coated CPB group. Dominant protein functions were platelet degranulation, serine-type (cysteine-type) endopeptidase inhibitor activity and serine-type endopeptidase activity in the 25 proteins. Bioinformatics analysis similarly revealed upregulation of proteins belonging to platelet degranulation and negative regulation of endopeptidase activity in the non-coated CPB group; these upregulations were effectively attenuated in the SEC-coated CPB group. Conclusion: The new polymer (SEC)-coated CPB circuit effectively attenuated upregulation of proteins compared to the non-coated CPB circuit. These proteins were associated with both proteases/protease inhibitors and platelet degranulation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Clinical studies demonstrate delayed recovery of hibernating myocardium (HM) following coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is effective in identifying HM in clinical settings. Our animal model of HM shows partial but incomplete functional recovery 1 month following CABG using echocardiography. This study uses CMR imaging to determine completeness of recovery 3 months post-CABG. METHODS Swine (N = 12) underwent left anterior descending artery (LAD) 1.5-cm constrictor placement creating a territory of HM over 12 weeks. CMR at 12 weeks confirmed hibernation without infarction (N = 12). Off-pump left internal thoracic artery (LITA) to the LAD was performed in 9 animals. Three animals were killed as HM controls. CMR imaging was repeated in revascularized animals before death at 1 (n = 4) or 3 months (n = 5). CMR imaging was performed at baseline and with dobutamine infusion (5 μg/kg/min). RESULTS Twelve weeks after constrictor placement, CMR imaging confirmed viability in LAD region and LAD stenosis in all animals. In HM, wall thickening is reduced at baseline but with contractile reserve present during dobutamine infusion. Following revascularization, CMR imaging confirmed patent LITA graft (n = 9). Analysis of baseline regional function shows incomplete recovery of HM following CABG, with reduced contractile reserve at both 1 and 3 months post-CABG. CONCLUSIONS CMR imaging provides accurate spatial resolution of regional contractile function and confirms the presence of HM at 12 weeks following instrumentation of the LAD. Three months following CABG, partial recovery of HM with contractile reserve is present in the single LAD territory.

Abstract
There is conflicting clinical evidence whether administration of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) improves function following coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). Using a swine model of hibernating myocardium, we tested whether daily CoQ10 would improve contractile function by MRI at 4-week post-CABG. Twelve pigs underwent a thoracotomy and had a constrictor placed on the left anterior descending (LAD). At 12 weeks, they underwent off-pump bypass and received daily dietary supplements of either CoQ10 (10 mg/kg/day) or placebo. At 4-week post-CABG, circumferential strain measurements in the hibernating LAD region from placebo and CoQ10 groups were not different and increased to a similar extent with dobutamine (-14.7 ± 0.6 versus -14.8 ± 0.1, respectively (NS)). Post-sacrifice, oxidant stress markers were obtained in the mitochondrial isolates and protein carbonyl in the placebo, and CoQ10 groups were 6.14 ± 0.36 and 5.05 ± 0.32 nmol/mg, respectively (NS). In summary, CoQ10 did not improve contractile reserve or reduce oxidant stress at 4-week post-CABG.

Abstract
Over the past 1.5 decades, numerous stem cell trials have been performed in patients with cardiovascular disease. Although encouraging outcome signals have been reported, these have been small, leading to uncertainty as to whether they will translate into significantly improved outcomes. A reassessment of the rationale for the use of stem cells in cardiovascular disease is therefore timely. Such a rationale should include analyses of why previous trials have not produced significant benefit and address whether mechanisms contributing to disease progression might benefit from known activities of stem cells. The present paper provides such a reassessment, focusing on patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction, either nonischemic or ischemic. We conclude that many mechanisms contributing to progressive left ventricular dysfunction are matched by stem cell activities that could attenuate the myocardial effect of such mechanisms. This suggests that stem cell strategies may improve patient outcomes and justifies further testing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The time course and extent of recovery after revascularization of viable dysfunctional myocardium are variable. Although fibrosis is a major determinant, myocyte structural and molecular remodeling may also play important roles. OBJECTIVES This study sought to determine whether persistent myocyte loss and/or irreversibility of protein changes that develop in hibernating myocardium have an impact on functional recovery in the absence of infarction. METHODS Swine implanted with a chronic left anterior descending artery (LAD) stenosis to produce hibernating myocardium underwent percutaneous revascularization, with serial functional recovery evaluated for 1 month (n = 12). Myocardial tissue was evaluated to assess myocyte size, nuclear density, and proliferation indexes in comparison with those of normal animals and nonrevascularized controls. Proteomic analysis by 2-dimensional differential in-gel electrophoresis was used to determine the reversibility of molecular adaptations of hibernating myocytes. RESULTS At 3 months, physiological features of hibernating myocardium were confirmed, with depressed LAD wall thickening and no significant infarction. Revascularization normalized LAD flow reserve, with no immediate change in LAD wall thickening. Regional LAD wall thickening slowly improved but remained depressed 1 month post-percutaneous coronary intervention. Surprisingly, revascularization was associated with histological evidence of myocytes re-entering the growth phase of the cell cycle and increases in the number of c-Kit(+) cells. Myocyte nuclear density returned to normal, whereas regional myocyte hypertrophy regressed. Proteomic analysis demonstrated heterogeneous effects of revascularization. Up-regulated stress and cytoskeletal proteins normalized, whereas reduced contractile and metabolic proteins persisted. CONCLUSIONS Delayed recovery of hibernating myocardium in the absence of scar may reflect persistent reductions in the amounts of contractile and metabolic proteins. Although revascularization appeared to stimulate myocyte proliferation, the persistence of small immature myocytes may have contributed to delayed functional recovery.

Abstract
Myocardial responses to chronic ischemia represent a continuum of adaptations resulting, over time, in a stress-resistant phenotype. One such adaptation, hibernating myocardium (HM), has increased antioxidant capacity that protects against ischemia-induced oxidative stress. Studies have suggested that revascularization alone may not fully restore cardiac function, highlighting the need for targeted therapies to serve as adjuncts to the innate healing process following revascularization. In our review, we discuss current understanding of HM and the recovery process following surgical revascularization, focusing on animal models of HM to understand implications for human patients.

Abstract
The history of revascularization for cardiac ischemia dates back to the early 1960's when the first coronary artery bypass graft procedures were performed in humans. With this 50 year history of providing a new vasculature to ischemic and hibernating myocardium, a profound depth of experience has been amassed in clinical cardiovascular medicine as to what does, and does not work in the context of cardiac revascularization, alleviating ischemia and adequacy of myocardial perfusion. These issues are of central relevance to contemporary cell-based cardiac regenerative approaches. While the cardiovascular cell therapy field is surging forward on many exciting fronts, several well accepted clinical axioms related to the cardiac arterial supply appear to be almost overlooked by some of our current basic conceptual and experimental cell therapy paradigms. We present here information drawn from five decades of the clinical revascularization experience, review relevant new data on vascular formation via cell therapy, and put forward the case that for optimal cell-based cardiac regeneration due attention must be paid to providing an adequate vascular supply.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We have previously shown that mitochondrial uncoupling protein-2 (UCP-2) is increased in a swine model of hibernating myocardium (HM). Although UCP-2 reduces oxidant stress, it can promote inefficiency of the electron transport chain. In this study, we tested whether UCP-2 remains increased in revascularized HM (RHM) after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). METHODS Seven swine underwent thoracotomy with placement of a constrictor on the left anterior descending artery (LAD). Twelve weeks later, a left internal mammary artery graft was placed on the distal LAD. Four weeks post-CABG, computed tomography angiography documented patent grafts and function. At the terminal study, blood flow to the LAD and remote territories were assessed during high dose dobutamine and mitochondria isolated from both regions for analysis. Comparisons were made to a group of swine with HM who underwent constrictor placement without bypass grafting (n = 4). RESULTS During dobutamine infusion, RHM demonstrated lower blood flows (2.44 ± 0.23 versus 3.43 ± 0.30 mL/min/g; P < 0.05) and reduced wall thickening (33 ± 9% versus 52 ± 13%; P < 0.05) compared with remote regions. RHM had lower respiratory control indices (3.7 ± 0.3 versus 4.3 ± 0.4; P < 0.05) with persistently increased UCP-2 content. CONCLUSIONS Despite patent grafts, RHM demonstrates a submaximal response to dobutamine infusion and increased mitochondrial UCP-2 expression. These data support the notion that recovery of the mitochondria in RHM is delayed early post-CABG and may contribute to impaired oxygen consumption and contractile reserve during catecholamine challenges.

Abstract
Deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) is a protective method against brain ischemia in aortic surgery. However, the possible effects of DHCA on the plasma proteins remain to be determined. In the present study, we used novel high-throughput technology to compare the plasma proteomes during DHCA (22°C) with selective cerebral perfusion (SCP, n=7) to those during normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB, n=7). Three plasma samples per patient were obtained during CPB: T1, prior to cooling; T2, during hypothermia; T3, after rewarming for the DHCA group and three corresponding points for the normothermic group. A proteomic analysis was performed using isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ) labeling tandem mass spectrometry to assess quantitative protein changes. In total, the analysis identified 262 proteins. The bioinformatics analysis revealed a significant upregulation of complement activation at T2 in normothermic CPB, which was suppressed in DHCA. These findings were confirmed by the changes of the terminal complement complex (SC5b-9) levels. At T3, however, the level of SC5b-9 showed a greater increase in DHCA compared to normothermic CPB, while 48 proteins were significantly downregulated in DHCA. The results demonstrated that DHCA and rewarming potentially exert a significant effect on the plasma proteome in patients undergoing aortic surgery.

Abstract
Supply and demand relationships govern survival of animals in the wild and are also key determinants of clinical outcomes in critically ill patients. Most animals' survival strategies focus on the supply side of the equation by pursuing territory and resources, but hibernators are able to anticipate declining availability of nutrients by reducing their energetic needs through the seasonal use of torpor, a reversible state of suppressed metabolic demand and decreased body temperature. Similarly, in clinical medicine the majority of therapeutic interventions to care for critically ill or trauma patients remain focused on elevating physiologic supply above critical thresholds by increasing the main determinants of delivery of oxygen to the tissues (cardiac output, perfusion pressure, hemoglobin concentrations, and oxygen saturation), as well as increasing nutritional support, maintaining euthermia, and other general supportive measures. Techniques, such as induced hypothermia and preconditioning, aimed at diminishing a patient's physiologic requirements as a short-term strategy to match reduced supply and to stabilize their condition, are few and underutilized in clinical settings. Consequently, comparative approaches to understand the mechanistic adaptations that suppress metabolic demand and alter metabolic use of fuel as well as the application of concepts gleaned from studies of hibernation, to the care of critically ill and injured patients could create novel opportunities to improve outcomes in intensive care and perioperative medicine.

Abstract
![]()
Hibernating
myocardium is an adaptive response to repetitive myocardial
ischemia that is clinically common, but the mechanism of adaptation
is poorly understood. Here we compared the proteomes of hibernating
versus normal myocardium in a porcine model with 24 biological replicates.
Using the ion-current-based proteomic strategy optimized in this study
to expand upon previous proteomic work, we identified differentially
expressed proteins in new molecular pathways of cardiovascular interest.
The methodological strategy includes efficient extraction with detergent
cocktail; precipitation/digestion procedure with high, quantitative
peptide recovery; reproducible nano-LC/MS analysis on a long, heated
column packed with small particles; and quantification based on ion-current
peak areas. Under the optimized conditions, high efficiency and reproducibility
were achieved for each step, which enabled a reliable comparison of
24 the myocardial samples. To achieve confident discovery of differentially
regulated proteins in hibernating myocardium, we used highly stringent
criteria to define “quantifiable proteins”. These included
the filtering criteria of low peptide FDR and S/N > 10 for peptide
ion currents, and each protein was quantified independently from ≥2
distinct peptides. For a broad methodological validation, the quantitative
results were compared with a parallel, well-validated 2D-DIGE analysis
of the same model. Excellent agreement between the two orthogonal
methods was observed (R = 0.74), and the ion-current-based
method quantified almost one order of magnitude more proteins. In
hibernating myocardium, 225 significantly altered proteins were discovered
with a low false-discovery rate (∼3%). These proteins are involved
in biological processes including metabolism, apoptosis, stress response,
contraction, cytoskeleton, transcription, and translation. This provides
compelling evidence that hibernating myocardium adapts to chronic
ischemia. The major metabolic mechanisms include a down-regulation
of mitochondrial respiration and an increase in glycolysis. Meanwhile,
cardioprotective and cytoskeletal proteins are increased, while cardiomyocyte
contractile proteins are reduced. These intrinsic adaptations to regional
ischemia maintain long-term cardiomyocyte viability at the expense
of contractile function.

The physiological significance of a coronary stenosis differentially affects contractility and mitochondrial function in viable chronically dysfunctional myocardium. Basic Res Cardiol 2013; 108:354.

Abstract
The reversibility of viable dysfunctional myocardium after revascularization is variable and the reasons for this are unknown. Using 2D-DIGE, we tested the hypothesis that this could reflect the extent of molecular remodeling of myocardial tissue in the absence of infarction. Swine with a progressive left anterior descending (LAD) stenosis were studied 2 months (n = 18) or 3 months (n = 22) post-instrumentation. Coronary flow reserve (vasodilated/rest) was severely reduced at 2 months (LAD 2.6 ± 0.4 versus 5.1 ± 0.4 in normal, p < 0.05) and became critically impaired after 3 months (LAD 1.1 ± 0.2, p < 0.05 vs. 2 months). Despite progression in stenosis severity, reductions in wall thickening at 2 months (LAD 37 ± 4% vs. remote 86 ± 9%, p < 0.05) were unchanged at 3 months (LAD 32 ± 3%, p = ns). Contractile dysfunction was primarily related to reductions (LAD/normal) in contractile proteins which were not affected by stenosis severity (e.g., troponin T, 2 months 0.82 ± 0.03 vs. 0.74 ± 0.03 at 3 months, p-ns). In contrast, mitochondrial function and proteins were normal at 2 months but declined with progression to a critical stenosis (state 3 respiration at 3 months 145 ± 13 vs. 216 ± 5 ng-atoms O2 mg(-1) min(-1) at 2 months, p < 0.05). In a similar fashion, increases in stress (e.g., αB-crystalline 2.13 ± 0.2 vs. 1.17 ± 0.13 at 2 months, p < 0.05) and cytoskeletal proteins (e.g., desmin 1.63 ± 0.12 vs. 1.24 ± 0.10 at 2 months, p < 0.05) only developed with more advanced remodeling from a critical stenosis. We conclude that similar degrees of chronic contractile dysfunction can have diverse intrinsic molecular adaptations to ischemia. This spectrum of adaptations may underlie variability in the time course and extent of reversibility in viable chronically dysfunctional myocardium after revascularization.

Abstract
Although protection against necrosis has been observed in both hibernating (HIB) and ischemic preconditioned hearts in the second window of protection (SWOP), a comparison of the mitochondrial proteome between the two entities has not been previously performed. Anesthetized swine underwent instrumentation with a fixed constrictor around the LAD artery and were followed for 12 weeks (HIB; N=7). A second group of anesthetized swine underwent ischemic preconditioning by inflating a balloon within the LAD artery 10 times for 2 min, each separated by 2 min reperfusion and were sacrificed 24h later (SWOP; N=7). Myocardial blood flow and high-energy nucleotides were obtained in the LAD region and normalized to remote regions. Post-sacrifice, protein content as measured with iTRAQ was compared in isolated mitochondria from the LAD area of a Sham heart. Basal regional blood flow in the LAD region when normalized to the remote region was 0.86±0.04 in HIB and 1.02±0.02 in SWOP tissue (P<0.05). Despite reduced regional blood flows in HIB hearts, ATP content in the LAD region, when normalized to the remote region was similar in HIB versus SWOP (1.06±0.06 and 1.02±0.05 respectively; NS) as was the transmural phosphocreatine (PCr) to ATP ratio (2.1±0.2 and 2.2±0.2 respectively; NS). Using iTRAQ, 64 common proteins were identified in HIB and SWOP hearts. Compared with SWOP, the relative abundance of mitochondrial proteins involved with electron transport chain (ETC) were reduced in HIB including NADH dehydrogenase, Cytochrome c reductase and oxidase, ATP synthase, and nicotinamide nucleotide transhydrogenase. Within chronically HIB heart tissue with reduced blood flow, the relative abundance of mitochondrial ETC proteins is decreased when compared with SWOP tissue. These data support the concept that HIB heart tissue subjected to chronically reduced blood flow is associated with a down-regulation in the expression of key mitochondrial proteins involved in electron transport.

Abstract
Chronic ischemic heart disease is associated with myocardial hypoperfusion. The resulting hypoxia potentially inflicts damage upon the mitochondria, leading to a compromised energetic state. Furthermore, ischemic damage may cause excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), producing mitochondrial damage, hereby reinforcing a vicious circle. Ischemic preconditioning has been proven protective in acute ischemia, but the subject of chronic ischemic preconditioning has not been explored in humans. We hypothesized that mitochondrial respiratory capacity would be diminished in chronic ischemic regions of human myocardium but that these mitochondria would be more resistant to ex vivo ischemia and, second, that ROS generation would be higher in ischemic myocardium. The aim of this study was to test mitochondrial respiratory capacity during hyperoxia and hypoxia, to investigate ROS production, and finally to assess myocardial antioxidant levels. Mitochondrial respiration in biopsies from ischemic and nonischemic regions from the left ventricle of the same heart was compared in nine human subjects. Maximal oxidative phosphorylation capacity in fresh muscle fibers was lower in ischemic compared with nonischemic myocardium (P < 0.05), but the degree of coupling (respiratory control ratio) did not differ (P > 0.05). The presence of ex vivo hypoxia did not reveal any chronic ischemic preconditioning of the ischemic myocardial regions (P > 0.05). ROS production was higher in ischemic myocardium (P < 0.05), and the levels of antioxidant protein expression was lower. Diminished mitochondrial respiration capacity and excessive ROS production demonstrate an impaired mitochondrial function in ischemic human heart muscle. No chronic ischemic preconditioning effect was found.

Abstract
A large body of evidence has demonstrated that there is a close coupling between regional myocardial perfusion and contractile function. When ischemia is mild, this can result in the development of a new balance between supply and energy utilization that allows the heart to adapt for a period of hours over which myocardial viability can be maintained, a phenomenon known as "short-term hibernation". Upon reperfusion after reversible ischemia, regional myocardial function remains depressed. The "stunned myocardium" recovers spontaneously over a period of hours to days. The situation in myocardium subjected to chronic repetitive ischemia is more complex. Chronic dysfunction can initially reflect repetitive stunning with insufficient time for the heart to recover between episodes of spontaneous ischemia. As the frequency and/or severity of ischemia increases, the heart undergoes a series of adaptations which downregulate metabolism to maintain myocyte viability at the expense of contractile function. The resulting "hibernating myocardium" develops regional myocyte cellular hypertrophy as a compensatory response to ischemia-induced apoptosis along with a series of molecular adaptations that while regional, are similar to global changes found in advanced heart failure. As a result, flow-function relations become independently affected by tissue remodeling and interventions that stimulate myocyte regeneration. Similarly, chronic vascular remodeling may alter flow regulation in a fashion that increases myocardial vulnerability to ischemia. Here we review our current understanding of myocardial flow-function relations during acute ischemia in normal myocardium and highlight newly identified complexities in their interpretation in viable chronically dysfunctional myocardium with myocyte cellular and molecular remodeling. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled "Coronary Blood Flow".
