Abstract
Chronic wounds in diabetic patients are challenging because their prolonged inflammation makes healing difficult, thus burdening patients, society, and health care systems. Customized dressing materials are needed to effectively treat such wounds that vary in shape and depth. The continuous development of 3D-printing technology along with artificial intelligence has increased the precision, versatility, and compatibility of various materials, thus providing the considerable potential to meet the abovementioned needs. Herein, functional 3D-printing inks comprising DNA from salmon sperm and DNA-induced biosilica inspired by marine sponges, are developed for the machine learning-based 3D-printing of wound dressings. The DNA and biomineralized silica are incorporated into hydrogel inks in a fast, facile manner. The 3D-printed wound dressing thus generates provided appropriate porosity, characterized by effective exudate and blood absorption at wound sites, and mechanical tunability indicated by good shape fidelity and printability during optimized 3D printing. Moreover, the DNA and biomineralized silica act as nanotherapeutics, enhancing the biological activity of the dressings in terms of reactive oxygen species scavenging, angiogenesis, and anti-inflammation activity, thereby accelerating acute and diabetic wound healing. These bioinspired 3D-printed hydrogels produce using a DNA-induced biomineralization strategy are an excellent functional platform for clinical applications in acute and chronic wound repair.

ATP Synthase K +- and H +-fluxes Drive ATP Synthesis and Enable Mitochondrial K +-"Uniporter" Function: II. Ion and ATP Synthase Flux Regulation. FUNCTION (OXFORD, ENGLAND) 2022; 3:zqac001.

Abstract
We demonstrated that ATP synthase serves the functions of a primary mitochondrial K+ "uniporter," i.e., the primary way for K+ to enter mitochondria. This K+ entry is proportional to ATP synthesis, regulating matrix volume and energy supply-vs-demand matching. We show that ATP synthase can be upregulated by endogenous survival-related proteins via IF1. We identified a conserved BH3-like domain of IF1 which overlaps its "minimal inhibitory domain" that binds to the β-subunit of F1. Bcl-xL and Mcl-1 possess a BH3-binding-groove that can engage IF1 and exert effects, requiring this interaction, comparable to diazoxide to augment ATP synthase's H+ and K+ flux and ATP synthesis. Bcl-xL and Mcl-1, but not Bcl-2, serve as endogenous regulatory ligands of ATP synthase via interaction with IF1 at this BH3-like domain, to increase its chemo-mechanical efficiency, enabling its function as the recruitable mitochondrial KATP-channel that can limit ischemia-reperfusion injury. Using Bayesian phylogenetic analysis to examine potential bacterial IF1-progenitors, we found that IF1 is likely an ancient (∼2 Gya) Bcl-family member that evolved from primordial bacteria resident in eukaryotes, corresponding to their putative emergence as symbiotic mitochondria, and functioning to prevent their parasitic ATP consumption inside the host cell.

Abstract
Preconditioning, a milestone concept in the cardiovascular sciences introduced 32 years back by Murry. This concept opened a new era in the field of organ protection. To start with extensive studies done on ischemic preconditioning for myocardial protection, ischemic preconditioning is an endogenous science of cellular kinetics. Several components in signal transduction cascade have been identified but still some mechanisms not yet revealed. Anesthetic preconditioning also contributed a lot for myocardial protection and concreted the concept of preconditioning. We, with an inquisitive brain meticulously persuing newer methods of cardioprotection. Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) is a brilliant example of it. RIPC can be future of cardioprotection, clinical trials and studies proved the benefits but yet to conclude the superiority of RIPC over myocardial ischemic cardioprotection. This review is an attempt to reveal this extraordinary concept with its basic cellular kinetics, methods, and recent trends.

Abstract
Abstract
Objectives
Low-flow ischemia (LFI) is consequent to coronary disease and produces cardiac stunning during reperfusion (R). Energetic performance and mechanisms of Ca2+ handling during LFI/R are not known. Moreover, cardioprotection of the phytoestrogen genistein (Gen) remains to be demonstrated in LFI/R. The aim was to study the mechanisms of the stunning consequent to LFI/R and the effects of Gen on both sexes.
Methods
Rat ventricles were perfused inside a calorimeter to measure maximal pressure development (P) and total heat rate (Ht) before and during exposition to LFI/R. The mechanisms of stunning were evaluated with selective drugs.
Key findings
Female hearts (FH) developed higher postischemic contractile recovery (PICR) and muscle economy (P/Ht) than males (MH). Cardioprotection was sensitive to blockade of mKATP channels, UCam and NOS. Perfusion of 20 μmol/l Gen reduced PICR and P/Ht during LFI/R in FH, and dysfunction was increased by mNCX blockade with mPTP opening. However, intraperitoneal 5 mg/kg Gen (Gen-ip) was cardioprotective in both sexes, and the beneficial effect of Gen-ip was blocked by 100 μmol/l 5-HD.
Conclusions
FH are more protected than MH against the LFI/R dysfunction, which involves mitochondrial Ca2+ loss; Gen-ip was more cardioprotective in MH than in FH, mainly by activation of the mKATP channels.

Abstract
Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) is an innovative treatment strategy that alleviates ischemia-reperfusion injury, whereby short episodes of regional ischemia and reperfusion delivered to remote organs including hind limb, kidney and intestine, and so on provide protection to the heart. The RIPC is known to reduce infarct size, serum levels of cardiac enzymes, and myocardial dysfunction in various animal species as well as in patients. There have been a large number of studies suggesting that the ATP-sensitive potassium channels (KATP channel) play a significant role as a mediator or end effector in RIPC. The present review discusses the role of KATP channels and possible mechanisms in RIPC-induced cardioprotection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An area of ongoing controversy is the role adenosine to regulate vascular tone in conduit vessels that regulate compliance, and the role of nitric oxide (NO), potassium channels and receptor subtypes involved. The aim of our study was to investigate adenosine relaxation in rat thoracic aortic rings, and the effect of inhibitors of NO, prostanoids, Kv, KATP channels, and A2a and A2b receptors. METHODS Aortic rings were freshly harvested from adult male Sprague Dawley rats and equilibrated in an organ bath containing oxygenated, modified Krebs-Henseleit solution, 11 mM glucose, pH 7.4, 37 °C. Isolated rings were pre-contracted sub-maximally with 0.3 μM norepinephrine (NE), and the effect of increasing concentrations of adenosine (1 to 1000 μM) were examined. The drugs L-NAME, indomethacin, 4-aminopyridine (4-AP), glibenclamide, 5-hydroxydecanoate, ouabain, 8-(3-chlorostyryl) caffeine and PSB-0788 were examined in intact and denuded rings. Rings were tested for viability after each experiment. RESULTS Adenosine induced a dose-dependent, triphasic relaxation response, and the mechanical removal of the endothelium significantly deceased adenosine relaxation above 10 μM. Interestingly, endothelial removal significantly decreased the responsiveness (defined as % relaxation per μM adenosine) by two-thirds between 10 and 100 μM, but not in the lower (1-10 μM) or higher (>100 μM) ranges. In intact rings, L-NAME significantly reduced relaxation, but not indomethacin. Antagonists of voltage-dependent Kv (4-AP), sarcolemma KATP (glibenclamide) and mitochondrial KATP channels (5-HD) led to significant reductions in relaxation in both intact and denuded rings, with ouabain having little or no effect. Adenosine-induced relaxation appeared to involve the A2a receptor, but not the A2b subtype. CONCLUSIONS It was concluded that adenosine relaxation in NE-precontracted rat aortic rings was triphasic and endothelium-dependent above 10 μM, and relaxation involved endothelial nitric oxide (not prostanoids) and a complex interplay between smooth muscle A2a subtype and voltage-dependent Kv, SarcKATP and MitoKATP channels. The possible in vivo significance of the regulation of arterial compliance to left ventricular function coupling is discussed.

Abstract
Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) induced by alternate cycles of preconditioning ischemia and reperfusion protects the heart against sustained ischemia-reperfusion-induced injury. This technique has been translated to clinical levels in patients undergoing various surgical interventions including coronary artery bypass graft surgery, abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, percutaneous coronary intervention and heart valve surgery. Adenosine is a master regulator of energy metabolism and reduces myocardial ischemia-reperfusion-induced injury. Furthermore, adenosine is a critical trigger as well as a mediator in RIPC-induced cardioprotection and scientists have demonstrated the role of adenosine by showing an increase in its levels in the systemic circulation during RIPC delivery. Furthermore, the blockade of cardioprotective effects of RIPC in the presence of specific adenosine receptor blockers and transgenic animals with targeted ablation of A1 receptors has also demonstrated its critical role in RIPC. The studies have shown that adenosine may elicit cardioprotection via activation of neurogenic pathway. The present review describes the possible role and mechanism of adenosine in mediating RIPC-induced cardioprotection.

Abstract
There is growing evidence, that beneficial effects of ischemic heart preconditioning (IPC) may be lost or limited due to diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, atherosclerosis, heart failure and senility. It is plausible, that these conditions interfere with the biochemical pathways underlying the IPC response, but the detailed explanation is not clear. Pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α), monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), histamine and many other agents used in a single dose before prolonged ischemia mimic IPC. However prolonged exposure to preconditioning mimetics leads to tolerance (tachyphylaxis). In the state of such tolerance ischemic preconditioning is no longer protective. Studies suggest that diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, atherosclerosis, heart failure and older age are accompanied by increased plasma levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, MCP-1 and other inflammatory mediators. Therefore, we raised the hypothesis, that the reported lack of benefits of IPC in the listed states may be due to tolerance to IPC developed during prolonged exposure of the myocardium to preconditioning mimetics.

Abstract
Numerous epidemiological studies suggest that individuals who exercise have decreased cardiac morbidity and mortality. Pre-clinical studies in animal models also find clear cardioprotective phenotypes in animals that exercise, specifically characterized by lower myocardial infarction and arrhythmia. Despite the clear benefits, the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms that are responsible for exercise preconditioning are not fully understood. In particular, the adaptive signaling events that occur during exercise to "trigger" cardioprotection represent emerging paradigms. In this review, we discuss recent studies that have identified several different factors that appear to initiate exercise preconditioning. We summarize the evidence for and against specific cellular factors in triggering exercise adaptations and identify areas for future study.

Abstract
Diazoxide (DZ) is a pharmacological opener of ATP-sensitive K(+) channels that has been used for mimicking ischemic preconditioning and shows protection against ischemic damage. Here we investigated whether diazoxide supplementation to University of Wisconsin (UW) solution has cellular protection during islet isolation and improves in vivo islet transplant outcomes in a rodent ischemia model. C57/B6 mice pancreata were flushed with UW or UW + DZ solution and cold preserved for 6 or 10 h prior to islet isolation. Islet yield, in vitro and in vivo function, mitochondrial morphology, and apoptosis were evaluated. Significantly higher islet yields were observed in the UW + DZ group than in the UW group (237.5 ± 25.6 vs. 108.7 ± 49.3, p < 0.01). The islets from the UW + DZ group displayed a significantly higher glucose-induced insulin secretion (0.97 ng/ml ± 0.15 vs. 0.758 ng/ml ± 0.21, p = 0.009) and insulin content (60.96 ng/islet ± 13.94 vs. 42.09 ng/islet ± 8.15, p = 0.002). The DZ-treated islets had well-preserved mitochondrial morphology with superior responses of mitochondrial potentials, and calcium influx responded to glucose. A higher number of living cells and less late apoptotic cells were observed in the UW + DZ group (p < 0.05). Additionally, the islets from the UW + DZ group had a significantly higher cure rate and improved glucose tolerance. This study is the first to report mitoprotective effects of DZ for pancreas preservation and islet isolation. In the future, it will be necessary to further understand the underlying mechanism for the mitoprotection and to test this promising approach for pancreas preservation and the islet isolation process in nonhuman primates and ultimately humans.

Abstract
Adenosine and inosine are both key intracellular energy substrates for nucleotide synthesis by salvage pathways, especially during ischemic stress conditions. Additionally they both possess cell protective and cell repair properties. The objective of this study is to detect potential advantages of the combination of adenosine and inosine versus each drug alone, in terms of ventricular function, infarct size reduction and angiogenesis. Myocardial ischemia was created in rodents and treated with adenosine, inosine or their combination. Results of experiments showed that the combination of both drugs significantly reduced infarct size and improved myocardial angiogenesis and ventricular function. The two compounds, while chemically similar, use different intracellular pathways, allowing for complementary biological activities without overlapping. The drug combination at specific 1 : 5 adenosine : inosine dose ratio demonstrated positive cardiologic effects, deserving further evaluation as an adjunct to reperfusion techniques during and after acute coronary syndrome. The association of adenosine and inosine may contribute to reduce myocardial infarction morbidity and mortality rates.

Abstract
We previously showed that exercise induces myocardial preconditioning in dogs and that early preconditioning is mediated through mitochondrial adenosine triphosphate-sensitive potassium channels. We decided to study if late preconditioning by exercise is also mediated through these channels. Forty-eight dogs, surgically instrumented and trained to run daily, were randomly assigned to 4 groups: (1) Nonpreconditioned dogs: under anesthesia, the coronary artery was occluded during 1 hour and then reperfused during 4.5 hours. (2) Late preconditioned dogs: similar to group 1, but the dogs run on the treadmill for 5 periods of 5 minutes each, 24 hours before the coronary occlusion. (3) Late preconditioned dogs plus 5-hydroxydecanoate (5HD): similar to group 2, but 5HD was administered before the coronary occlusion. (4) Nonpreconditioned dogs plus 5HD: similar to group 1, but 5HD was administered before the coronary occlusion. Infarct size (percent of the risk region) decreased by effect of exercise by 56% (P < 0.05), and this effect was abolished with 5HD. 5HD by itself did not modify infarct size. Exercise did not induce myocardial ischemia, and the hemodynamics during ischemia-reperfusion period did not differ among groups. These effects were independent of changes in collateral flow to the ischemic region. We concluded that late cardiac preconditioning by exercise is mediated through mitochondrial adenosine triphosphate-sensitive potassium channels.

Pinacidil-primed ATP-sensitive potassium channels mediate feedback control of mechanical power output in isolated myocardium of rats and guinea pigs. Eur J Pharmacol 2009; 628:116-27.

Abstract
We tested the hypothesis, that ATP-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channels limit cardiac energy demand by a feedback control of mean power output at increased cardiac rates. We analysed the interrelationships between rising energy demand of adult rat and guinea pig left ventricular papillary muscle and down-regulatory electromechanical effects mediated by K(ATP) channels. Using the K(ATP)-opener pinacidil the stimulation frequency was increased stepwise and the mechanical parameters and action potentials were recorded. Power output was derived from force-length area or force-time integral calculations, respectively. Simultaneously oxygen availability in the preparations was estimated by flavoprotein fluorescence measurements. ADP/ATP ratios were determined by HPLC. We found highly linear relationships between isotonic power output and the effects of pinacidil on isotonic shortening in both rat (r(2)=0.993) and guinea pig muscles (r(2)=0.997). These effects were solely observed for the descending limb of shortening-frequency relationships. In addition, a highly linear correlation between total force-time integral-derived power and pinacidil effects on action potential duration (APD(50), r(2)=0.92) was revealed. Power output became constant and frequency-independent in the presence of pinacidil at higher frequencies. In contrast, the K(ATP)-blocker glibenclamide produced a lengthening of APD(50) and increased force transiently at higher power levels. Pinacidil prevented core hypoxia and a change in ADP/ATP ratio during high frequency stimulation. We conclude, that pinacidil-primed cardiac K(ATP) channels homeostatically control power output during periods of high energy demand. This effect is associated with a reduced development of hypoxic areas inside the heart muscle by adapting cardiac function to a limited energy supply.

Abstract
1. Adenosine A(1) receptors (A(1)R) play an important role in cardioprotection against hypoxic damage and the opening of mitochondrial permeability transition pores (MPTP) is central to the regulation of cell apoptosis and necrosis. However, it is still unclear whether A(1)R open MPTP in hypoxic cardiomyocytes. 2. The present study used primary cardiomyocyte cultures from neonatal rats to investigate the mechanisms of A(1)R activation and the effects of A(1)R on MPTP opening under hypoxic conditions. 3. Hypoxia increased both MPTP opening and the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), while decreasing cell viability and mitochondrial membrane potential (Deltapsi). The A(1)R agonist 2-chloro-N(6)-cyclopentyladenosine (CCPA; 500 nmol/L) blocked the increase in MPTP opening and ROS production and maintained cell viability and Deltapsi under hypoxic conditions. 4. The protective effects of CCPA were eliminated by both the protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor chelerythine (2 micromol/L) and the mitochondrial ATP-sensitive K(+) channel (mitoK(ATP)) inhibitor 5-hydroxydecanoate (500 micromol/L). Moreover, CCPA significantly increased the PKC content in both total protein and membrane protein of cardiomyocytes. 5-Hydroxydecanoate did not prevent these CCPA-induced increases in PKC. 5. These results demonstrate that CCPA reduces MPTP opening in hypoxic cardiomyocytes, possibly by activating PKC, stabilizing Deltapsi and reducing ROS production following the opening of mitoK(ATP). Consequently, fewer MPTP open.

Abstract
Limitation of infarct size by ischemic/pharmacological pre- and postconditioning involves activation of a complex set of cell-signaling pathways. Multiple lines of evidence implicate the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) as a key end effector of ischemic/pharmacological pre- and postconditioning. Increasing the ROS threshold for mPTP induction enhances the resistance of cardiomyocytes to oxidant stress and results in infarct size reduction. Here, we survey and synthesize the present knowledge about the role of glycogen synthase kinase (GSK)-3beta in cardioprotection, including pre- and postconditioning. Activation of a wide spectrum of cardioprotective signaling pathways is associated with phosphorylation and inhibition of a discrete pool of GSK-3beta relevant to mitochondrial signaling. Therefore, GSK-3beta has emerged as the integration point of many of these pathways and plays a central role in transferring protective signals downstream to target(s) that act at or in proximity to the mPTP. Bcl-2 family proteins and mPTP-regulatory elements, such as adenine nucleotide translocator and cyclophilin D (possibly voltage-dependent anion channel), may be the functional downstream target(s) of GSK-3beta. Gaining a better understanding of these interactions to control and prevent mPTP induction when appropriate will enable us to decrease the negative impact of the reperfusion-induced ROS burst on the fate of mitochondria and perhaps allow us to limit propagation of damage throughout and between cells and consequently, to better limit infarct size.

Abstract
Mitochondria are central players in the pathophysiology of ischemia-reperfusion. Activation of plasma membrane G-coupled receptors or the Na,K-ATPase triggers cytosolic signaling pathways that result in cardioprotection. Our working hypothesis is that the occupied receptors migrate to caveolae, where signaling enzymes are scaffolded into signalosomes that bud off the plasma membrane and migrate to mitochondria. The signalosome-mitochondria interaction then initiates intramitochondrial signaling by opening the mitochondrial ATP-sensitive K(+) channel (mitoK(ATP)). MitoK(ATP) opening causes an increase in ROS production, which activates mitochondrial protein kinase C epsilon (PKCvarepsilon), which inhibits the mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT), thus decreasing cell death. We review the experimental findings that bear on these hypotheses and other modes of protection involving mitochondria.

Abstract
Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is a major contributory factor to cardiac dysfunction and infarct size that determines patient prognosis after acute myocardial infarction. Considerable interest exists in harnessing the heart's endogenous capacity to resist I/R injury, known as ischemic preconditioning (IPC). The IPC research has contributed to uncovering the pathophysiology of I/R injury on a molecular and cellular basis and to invent potential therapeutic means to combat such damage. However, the translation of basic research findings learned from IPC into clinical practice has often been inadequate because the majority of basic research findings have stemmed from young and healthy animals. Few if any successful implementations of IPC have occurred in the diseased hearts that are the primary target of viable therapies activating cardioprotective mechanisms to limit cardiac dysfunction and infarct size. Therefore, the first purpose of this review is to facilitate understanding of pathophysiology of I/R injury and the mechanisms of cardioprotection afforded by IPC in the normal heart. Then I focus on the problems and opportunities for successful bench-to-bedside translation of IPC in the diseased hearts.

Abstract
Adenosine is a primordial signaling molecule present in every cell of the human body that mediates its physiological functions by interacting with 4 subtypes of G-protein-coupled receptors, termed A1, A2A, A2B and A3. The A3 subtype is perhaps the most enigmatic among adenosine receptors since, although several studies have been performed in the years to elucidate its physiological function, it still presents in several cases a double nature in different pathophysiological conditions. The 2 personalities of A3 often come into direct conflict, e.g., in ischemia, inflammation and cancer, rendering this receptor as a single entity behaving in 2 different ways. This review focuses on the most relevant aspects of A3 adenosine subtype activation and summarizes the pharmacological evidence as the basis of the dichotomy of this receptor in different therapeutic fields. Although much is still to be learned about the function of the A3 receptor and in spite of its duality, at the present time it can be speculated that A3 receptor selective ligands might show utility in the treatment of ischemic conditions, glaucoma, asthma, arthritis, cancer and other disorders in which inflammation is a feature. The biggest and most intriguing challenge for the future is therefore to understand whether and where selective A3 agonists or antagonists are the best choice.

Abstract
Pharmacological preconditioning with volatile anesthetics, or anesthetic-induced preconditioning (APC), is a phenomenon whereby a brief exposure to volatile anesthetic agents protects the heart from the potentially fatal consequences of a subsequent prolonged period of myocardial ischemia and reperfusion. Although not completely elucidated, the cellular and molecular mechanisms of APC appear to mimic those of ischemic preconditioning, the most powerful endogenous cardioprotective mechanism. This article reviews recently accumulated evidence underscoring the importance of mitochondria, reactive oxygen species, and K(ATP) channels in cardioprotective signaling by volatile anesthetics. Moreover, the article addresses current concepts and controversies regarding the specific roles of the mitochondrial and the sarcolemmal K(ATP) channels in APC.

Abstract
Mechanisms of adenosine (ADO) protection of reperfused myocardium are not fully understood. We tested the hypothesis that ADO (0.1 mM) alleviates ventricular stunning by ADO A(1)-receptor stimulation combined with purine metabolic enhancements. Langendorff guinea pig hearts were stunned at constant left ventricular end-diastolic pressure by low-flow ischemia. Myocardial phosphate metabolites were measured by (31)P-NMR, with phosphorylation potential {[ATP]/([ADP].[P(i)]), where brackets indicate concentration} estimated from creatine kinase equilibrium. Creatine and IMP, glycolytic intermediates, were measured enzymatically and glycolytic flux and extracellular spaces were measured by radiotracers. All treatment interventions started after a 10-min normoxic stabilization period. At 30 min reperfusion, ventricular contractility (dP/dt, left ventricular pressure) was reduced 17-26%, ventricular power (rate-pressure product) by 37%, and [ATP]/([ADP].[P(i)]) by 53%. The selective A(1) agonist 2-chloro-N(6)-cyclo-pentyladenosine marginally preserved [ATP]/([ADP].[P(i)]) and ventricular contractility but not rate-pressure product. Purine salvage precursor inosine (0.1 mM) substantially raised [ATP]/([ADP].[P(i)]) but weakly affected contractility. The ATP-sensitive potassium channel blocker glibenclamide (50 microM) abolished ADO protection of [ATP]/([ADP].[P(i)]) and contractility. ADO raised myocardial IMP and glucose-6-phosphate, demonstrating increased purine salvage and pentose phosphate pathway flux potential. Coronary hyperemia alone (papaverine) was not cardioprotective. We found that ADO protected energy metabolism and contractility in stunned myocardium more effectively than both the A(1)-receptor agonist 2-chloro-N(6)-cyclo-pentyladenosine and the purine salvage precursor inosine. Because ADO failed to stimulate glycolytic flux, the enhancement of reperfusion, [ATP]/([ADP].[P(i)]), indicates protection of mitochondrial function. Reduced ventricular dysfunction at enhanced [ATP]/([ADP].[P(i)]) argues against opening of mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium channel. The results establish a multifactorial mechanism of ADO antistunning, which appears to combine ADO A(1)-receptor signaling with metabolic adenylate and antioxidant enhancements.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Mitochondria play a key role in energy metabolism within the cell through the oxidative phosphorylation. They are also involved in many cellular processes like apoptosis, calcium signaling or reactive oxygen species production. The objectives of this review are to understand the interactions between mitochondrial metabolism and anaesthetics or different stress situations observed in ICU and to know the clinical implications. DATA SOURCES References were obtained from PubMed data bank (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi) using the following keywords: mitochondria, anaesthesia, anaesthetics, sepsis, preconditioning, ischaemia, hypoxia. DATA SYNTHESIS Mitochondria act as a pharmacological target for the anaesthetic agents. The effects can be toxic like in the case of the local anaesthetics-induced myotoxicity. On the other hand, beneficial effects are observed in the anaesthetic-induced myocardial preconditioning. Mitochondrial metabolism could be disturbed in many critical situations (sepsis, chronic hypoxia, ischaemia-reperfusion injury). The study of the underlying mechanisms should allow to propose in the future new specific therapeutics.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Ischemic preconditioning is an increased tolerance to myocardial ischemia during the second of two consecutive exercise tests. ATP-sensitive K(+) channel blockers, such as glinides and sulfonylurea drugs, can induce loss of ischemic preconditioning. This study aimed to investigate the effects of repaglinide, a hypoglycemic agent with an affinity for myocardial ATP-sensitive K (+)channels, on the results of consecutive exercise tests in patients with diabetes and multivessel coronary artery disease. METHODS Forty-two patients with type 2 diabetes and chronic stable angina pectoris, and two-vessel or three-vessel disease participated in this study. The patients underwent two consecutive treadmill exercise tests (phase 1). On the day after these exercise tests, 2 mg of oral repaglinide was given to the patients. One week later, two exercise tests were repeated consecutively (phase 2). RESULTS All patients achieved 1.0-mm ST-segment depression during the four exercise tests (T1, T2, T3, and T4). In phase 2, seven patients improved in time to onset of 1.0-mm ST-segment depression. The worsening of the time to onset of 1.0-mm ST-segment depression in phase 2 demonstrated ischemic preconditioning block in 83.3% of patients (P=0.0001). Even the postexercise electrocardiographic parameters (ST-segment depression morphology and magnitude and arrhythmias) were significantly different between the groups with and without pharmacologic ischemic preconditioning block (P=0.031). CONCLUSIONS Repaglinide, an oral hypoglycemic agent with ATP-sensitive K(+) channel-blocker activity, eliminated the myocardial ischemic preconditioning in patients with coronary disease and diabetes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Tissue depletion of adenosine during endotoxaemia has previously been described in the lung. Therapeutic approaches to prevent adenosine depletion and the role of A1 and A2 receptor agonists, however, have not been investigated until now. METHODS In isolated and ventilated rabbit lungs, it was tested whether pretreatment with adenosine A1 agonist 2-chloro-N6-cyclopentyladenosine (CCPA; 10(-7) mol, n = 6) or A2 receptor agonist 5'-(N-cyclopropyl)-carboxyamido adenosine (CPCA; 10(-7) mol, n = 6) prior to injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (500 pg mL-1) influenced pulmonary artery pressure (PAP), pulmonary energy content and oedema formation as compared with controls, solely infused with LPS (n = 6). Release rates of adenosine and uric acid were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography. Pulmonary tissue concentrations of high-energy phosphates were measured and the adenine nucleotide pool, adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP)/adenosine 5'-diphosphate (ADP) ratio and adenylate energy charge of the pulmonary tissue were calculated. RESULTS Administration of LPS induced increases in PAP within 2 h up to 20.8 +/- 2.9 mmHg (P < 0.01). While pretreatment with the A1 agonist merely decelerated pressure increase (13.8 +/- 1.1 mmHg, P < 0.05), the A2 agonist completely suppressed the pulmonary pressure reaction (9.6 +/- 1.0 mmHg, P < 0.01). Emergence of lung oedema after exclusive injection of LPS up to 12.0 +/- 2.9 g was absent after A1 (0.6 +/- 0.5 g) and A2 (-0.3 +/- 0.2 g) agonists. These observations were paralleled by increased adenosine release rates compared with LPS controls (P < 0.05). Moreover, tissue concentrations of ADP, ATP, guanosine 5'-diphosphate, guanosine 5'-triphosphate, nicotinamide-adenine-dinucleotide and creatine phosphate were significantly reduced after LPS. Consequently, the calculated tissue adenine nucleotide pool and the adenylate energy charge increased after adenosine receptor stimulation (P = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Adenosine A1- and A2-receptor agonists reduced LPS-induced vasoconstriction and oedema formation by maintenance of tissue energy content. Thus, adenosine receptor stimulation, in particular of the A2 receptor, might be beneficial during acute lung injury.

Abstract
Xenon elicits preconditioning of the myocardium via protein kinase C-epsilon. We determined the implication of (1) the mitochondrial adenosinetriphosphate dependent potassium (K(ATP)) channels and (2) the 3'phosphatidylinositol-dependent kinase-1 (PDK-1) in activating protein kinase C-epsilon. For infarct size measurements, anaesthetized rats were subjected to 25 min of coronary artery occlusion followed by 120 min of reperfusion. Rats received xenon 70% during three 5-min periods before ischaemia with or without the K(ATP) channel blocker 5-hydroxydecanoate or Wortmannin as PI3K/PDK-1 inhibitor. For Western blot, hearts were excised at five time points after xenon preconditioning (Control, 15, 25, 35, 45 min). Infarct size was reduced from 42+/-6% (mean+/-S.D.) to 27+/-8% after xenon preconditioning (P<0.05). Western blot revealed an increased activation of PKC-epsilon after 45 min and of PDK-1 after 25 min during xenon preconditioning. 5-hydroxydecanoate and Wortmannin blocked both effects. PKC-epsilon is activated downstream of mitochondrial K(ATP) channels and PDK-1. Both pathways are functionally involved in xenon preconditioning.

Abstract
The role of caveolae, membrane microenvironments enriched in signaling molecules, in myocardial ischemia is poorly defined. In the current study, we used cardiac myocytes prepared from adult rats to test the hypothesis that opioid receptors (OR), which are capable of producing cardiac protection in vivo, promote cardiac protection in cardiac myocytes in a caveolae-dependent manner. We determined protein expression and localization of delta-OR (DOR) using coimmunohistochemistry, caveolar fractionation, and immunoprecipitations. DOR colocalized in fractions with caveolin-3 (Cav-3), a structural component of caveolae in muscle cells, and could be immunoprecipitated by a Cav-3 antibody. Immunohistochemistry confirmed plasma membrane colocalization of DOR with Cav-3. Cardiac myocytes were subjected to simulated ischemia (2 h) or an ischemic preconditioning (IPC) protocol (10 min ischemia, 30 min recovery, 2 h ischemia) in the presence and absence of methyl-beta-cyclodextrin (MbetaCD, 2 mM), which binds cholesterol and disrupts caveolae. We also assessed the cardiac protective effects of SNC-121 (SNC), a selective DOR agonist, on cardiac myocytes with or without MbetaCD and MbetaCD preloaded with cholesterol. Ischemia, simulated by mineral oil layering to inhibit gas exchange, promoted cardiac myocyte cell death (trypan blue staining), a response blunted by SNC (37 +/- 3 vs. 59 +/- 3% dead cells in the presence and absence of 1 muM SNC, respectively, P < 0.01) or by use of the IPC protocol (35 +/- 4 vs. 62 +/- 3% dead cells, P < 0.01). MbetaCD treatment, which disrupted caveolae (as detected by electron microscopy), fully attenuated the protective effects of IPC or SNC, resulting in cell death comparable to that of the ischemic group. By contrast, SNC-induced protection was not abrogated in cells incubated with cholesterol-saturated MbetaCD, which maintained caveolae structure and function. These findings suggest a key role for caveolae, perhaps through enrichment of signaling molecules, in contributing to protection of cardiac myocytes from ischemic damage.

Abstract
Preconditioning describes a very powerful endogenous mechanism by which the heart may be protected against ischemia and reperfusion injury. Transient administration of a volatile anesthetic before a prolonged ischemic episode reduces myocardial infarct size to a degree comparable to that observed during ischemic preconditioning. Many components of the signal transduction pathways responsible for cardioprotection are shared by anesthetic and ischemic preconditioning. Exposure to volatile anesthetics generates small "triggering" quantities of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by directly interacting with the mitochondrial electron transport chain or indirectly through a signaling cascade in which G-protein-coupled receptors, protein kinases, and mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channels play important roles. Several clinical studies also suggest that preconditioning by volatile anesthetics exerts beneficial effects in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. This review summarizes some of the recent major developments in the understanding of cardioprotection by volatile anesthetics.

Abstract
ATP-sensitive potassium channel (K(ATP)) is one kind of inwardly rectifying channel composed of two kinds of subunits: the pore forming subunits and the regulatory subunits. K(ATP) channels exist in the sarcolemmal, mitochondrial and nuclear membranes of various tissues. Cell metabolism regulates K(ATP) gene expression and metabolism products regulate the channel by direct interactions, while K(ATP) controls membrane potentials and regulate cell activities including energy metabolism, apoptosis and gene expression. K(ATP) channels from different cell organelles are linked by some signal molecules and they can respond to common stimulation in a coordinate way. In the cardiovascular system K(ATP) has important functions. The most prominent is that opening of this channel can protect cardiac myocytes against ischemic injuries. The sarcolemmal K(ATP) may provide a basic protection against ischemia by energy sparing, while both the sarcolemmal K(ATP) and mitochondrial K(ATP) channels are necessary for the ischemia preconditioning. K(ATP) channels also have important functions including homeostasis maintenance and vascular tone regulation under physiological conditions. Further elucidation of the role of K(ATP) in the cardiovascular system will help us to regulate cell metabolism or prevent damage caused by abnormal channel functions.

Abstract
Although protein kinase C (PKC) and phosphatidylinositol 3 (PI3)-kinase are implicated in cardioprotective signal transduction mediated by ischemic preconditioning, their role in pharmacological preconditioning (PPC) has not been determined. Cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (CMCs) were subjected to simulated ischemia for 2 h followed by 15 min of reoxygenation. PPC of CMCs consisted of administration of 50 microM adenosine, 50 microM diazoxide, and 50 microM S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP), each alone or in combination, for 15 min followed by 30 min of washout before simulated ischemia. Although PKC-epsilon and PI3-kinase were significantly activated during treatment with adenosine, activation of these kinases dissipated after washout. In contrast, PPC combined with adenosine, diazoxide, and SNAP elicited sustained activation of PKC-epsilon and PI-3 kinase after washout. The combined-PPC, but not the single-PPC, protocol conferred antiapoptotic and antinecrotic effects after reoxygenation. The PKC inhibitor chelerythrine (5 microM) or the PI3-kinase inhibitor LY-294002 (10 microM) given during the washout period partially blocked the activation of PKC-epsilon and PI3-kinase mediated by the combined-PPC protocol, whereas combined addition of chelerythrine and LY-294002 completely inhibited activation of PKC-epsilon and PI3-kinase. Chelerythrine or LY-294002 partially blocked antiapoptotic and antinecrotic effects mediated by the combined-PPC protocol, whereas combined addition of chelerythrine and LY-294002 completely abrogated antiapoptotic and antinecrotic effects. These results suggest that the combined-PPC protocol confers cardioprotective memory through sustained and interdependent activation of PKC and PI3-kinase.

Abstract
Since the discovery of the mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium channel (mitoK(ATP)) more than 13 years ago, it has been implicated in the processes of ischemic preconditioning (IPC), apoptosis and mitochondrial matrix swelling. Different approaches have been employed to characterize the pharmacological profile of the channel, and these studies strongly suggest that cellular protection well correlates with the opening of mitoK(ATP). However, there are many questions regarding mitoK(ATP) that remain to be answered. These include the very existence of mitoK(ATP) itself, its degree of importance in the process of IPC, its response to different pharmacological agents, and how its activation leads to the process of IPC and protection against cell death. Recent findings suggest that mitoK(ATP) may be a complex of multiple mitochondrial proteins, including some which have been suggested to be components of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore. However, the identity of the pore-forming unit of the channel and the details of the interactions between these proteins remain unclear. In this review, we attempt to highlight the recent advances in the physiological role of mitoK(ATP) and discuss the controversies and unanswered questions.

Abstract
Activation of either the A(1) or the A(3) adenosine receptor (A(1)R or A(3)R, respectively) elicits delayed cardioprotection against infarction, ischemia, and hypoxia. Mitochondrial contribution to the progression of cardiomyocyte injury is well known; however, the protective effects of adenosine receptor activation in cardiac cells with a respiratory chain deficiency are poorly elucidated. The aim of our study was to further define the role of A(1)R and A(3)R activation on functional tolerance after inhibition of the terminal link of the mitochondrial respiratory chain with sodium azide, in a state of normoxia or hypoxia, compared with the effects of the mitochondrial ATP-sensitive K(+) channel opener diazoxide. Treatment with 10 mM sodium azide for 2 h in normoxia caused a considerable decrease in the total ATP level; however, activation of adenosine receptors significantly attenuated this decrease. Diazoxide (100 muM) was less effective in protection. During treatment of cultured cardiomyocytes with hypoxia in the presence of 1 mM sodium azide, the A(1)R agonist 2-chloro-N(6)-cyclopentyladenosine was ineffective, whereas the A(3)R agonist 2-chloro-N(6)-iodobenzyl-5'-N-methylcarboxamidoadenosine (Cl-IB-MECA) attenuated the decrease in ATP level and prevented cell injury. Cl-IB-MECA delayed the dissipation in the mitochondrial membrane potential during hypoxia in cells impaired in the mitochondrial respiratory chain. In cells with elevated intracellular Ca(2+) concentration after hypoxia and treatment with NaN(3) or after application of high doses of NaN(3), Cl-IB-MECA immediately decreased the elevated intracellular Ca(2+) concentration toward the diastolic control level. The A(1)R agonist was ineffective. This may be especially important for the development of effective pharmacological agents, because mitochondrial dysfunction is a leading factor in the pathophysiological cascade of heart disease.

Abstract
Prostacyclin (PGI2) and the PGE family alleviate myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury and limit oxidative damage. The cardioprotective effects of PGI2 have been traditionally ascribed to activation of IP receptors. Recent advances in prostanoid research have revealed that PGI2 can bind not only to IP, but also to EP, receptors, suggesting cross talk between PGI2 and PGEs. The mechanism(s) whereby PGI2 protects myocytes from oxidative damage and the specific receptors involved remain unknown. Thus fresh isolated adult rat myocytes were exposed to 200 microM H2O2 with or without carbaprostacyclin (cPGI2), IP-selective agonists, and ONO-AE-248 (an EP3-selective agonist). Cell viability was assessed by trypan blue exclusion after 30 min of H2O2 superfusion. cPGI2 and ONO-AE-248 significantly improved cell survival during H2O2 superfusion; IP-selective agonists did not. The protective effect of cPGI2 and ONO-AE-248 was completely abrogated by pretreatment with 5-hydroxydecanoate or glibenclamide. In the second series of experiments, the mitochondrial ATP-sensitive K+ (K(ATP)) channel opener diazoxide (Dx) reversibly oxidized flavoproteins in control myocytes. Exposure to prostanoid analogs alone had no effect on flavoprotein fluorescence. A second application of Dx in the presence of cPGI2 or ONO-AE-248 significantly increased flavoprotein fluorescence compared with Dx alone, but IP-selective agonists did not. This study demonstrates that PGI2 analogs protect cardiac myocytes from oxidative stress mainly via activation of EP3. The data also indicate that activation of EP3 receptors primes the opening of mitochondrial K(ATP) channels and that this mechanism is essential for EP3-dependent protection.

Abstract
Intracellular calcium signaling cascade induced by adenosine A(3) receptor activation was studied in this work. It was found that adenosine A(3) receptor activation (and not A(1) or A(2A) adenosine receptors activation) leads to an increase in cytosolic calcium and its further extrusion. A selective A(3) agonist Cl-IB-MECA (2-chloro-N(6)-(3-iodobenzyl)adenosine-5'-N-methyluronamide) induced an increase in cytoplasmic calcium in a dose-dependent manner, and was independent on extracellular calcium. The Ca(2+) signal in newborn cardiomyocytes, induced by A(3) receptor activation, is dependent on a pertussis toxin-sensitive G-protein. The action of Cl-IB-MECA was not inhibited by an inhibitor of phospholipase C (PLC), and by antagonists to inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)) receptor. In contrast, inhibition of ryanodine receptor prevented calcium elevation induced by this agonist. It was shown that extrusion of the elevated cytosolic Ca(2+) was achieved via activation of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+)-reuptake and of sarcolemmal Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX). The increase in the SR Ca(2+)-uptake and NCX Ca(2+) efflux were sufficient not only for compensation of Ca(2+) release from SR after A(3) receptor activation, but also for an effective prevention of extensive increase in intracellular Ca(2+) and may provide mechanism against cellular Ca(2+) overload. In cells with elevated [Ca(2+)](i) (due to increase of [Ca(2+)](o)), adenosine or Cl-IB-MECA decreased the [Ca(2+)](i) toward diastolic control level, whereas agonist of A(1) receptor was ineffective. The protective effect of A(3) receptor agonist was abolished in the presence of selective A(3) receptor antagonist MRS1523.

Abstract
Negative inotropic agents may differentially modulate indexes of cytosolic [Ca(2+)]-left ventricular (LV) pressure (LVP) relationships when given before and after ischemia. We measured and calculated [Ca(2+)], LVP, velocity ratios [[(d[Ca(2+)]/dt(max))/(dLVP/dt(max)); VR(max)] and [(d[Ca(2+)]/dt(min))/(dLVP/dt(min)); VR(min)]], and area ratio (AR; area [Ca(2+)]/area LVP per beat) before and after global ischemia in guinea pig isolated hearts. Ca(2+) transients were recorded by indo 1-AM fluorescence via a fiberoptic probe placed at the LV free wall. [Ca(2+)]-LVP loops were acquired by plotting LVP as a function of [Ca(2+)] at multiple time points during the cardiac cycle. Hearts were perfused with bimakalim, 2,3-butanedione monoxime (BDM), nifedipine, or lidocaine before and after 30 min of ischemia. Before ischemia, each drug depressed LVP, but only nifedipine decreased both LVP and [Ca(2+)] with a downward and leftward shift of the [Ca(2+)]-LVP loop. After ischemia, each drug depressed LVP and [Ca(2+)] with a downward and leftward shift of the [Ca(2+)]-LVP loop. Each drug except BDM decreased d[Ca(2+)]/dt(max); nifedipine decreased d[Ca(2+)]/dt(min), whereas lidocaine increased it, and bimakalim and BDM had no effect on d[Ca(2+)]/dt(min). Each drug except bimakalim increased VR(max) and VR(min) before ischemia; after ischemia, only BDM and nifedipine increased VR(max) and VR(min). Before and after ischemia, BDM and nifedipine increased AR, whereas lidocaine and bimakalim had no effect. At 30 min of reperfusion, control hearts exhibited marked Ca(2+) overload and depressed LVP. In each drug-pretreated group Ca(2+) overload was reduced on reperfusion, but only the group pretreated with nifedipine exhibited both higher LVP and lower [Ca(2+)]. These results show that negative inotropic drugs are less capable of reducing [Ca(2+)] after ischemia so that there is a relatively larger Ca(2+) expenditure for contraction/relaxation after ischemia than before ischemia. Moreover, the differential effects of pretreatment with negative inotropic drugs on [Ca(2+)]-LVP relationships after ischemia suggest that these drugs, especially nifedipine, can elicit cardiac preconditioning.

Abstract
Twenty years after the discovery of sarcolemmal ATP-sensitive K+ channels and 12 years after the discovery of mitochondrial K(ATP) (mitoK(ATP)) channels, progress has been remarkable, but many questions remain. In the case of the former, detailed structural information is available, and it is well accepted that the channel couples bioenergetics to cellular electrical excitability; however, in the heart, a clear physiological or pathophysiological role has yet to be defined. For mitoK(ATP), structural information is lacking, but there is abundant evidence linking the opening of the channel to protection against ischemia-reperfusion injury or apoptosis. This review updates recent progress in understanding the physiological role of mitoK(ATP) and highlights outstanding questions and controversies, with the intent of stimulating additional investigation on this topic.

Abstract
1 We examined whether edaravone (Eda), a clinically available radical scavenger, directly protects cardiomyocytes from ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, and whether the timing of its application is critical for protection. 2 Cardioprotective effects of edaravone were tested in the modified cell-pelleting model of ischemia and under exogenous oxidative stress (hydrogen peroxide: H2O2) in isolated adult rabbit ventricular cells. Cell death and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation were detected using propidium iodide (PI) and DCFH-DA, respectively. These parameters were evaluated objectively using flow cytometory. 3 Hypoxia and reoxygenation aggravated the proportion of dead cells from 32.2+/-1.8% (Baseline) to 51.3+/-2.7% (Control). When 15 microm edaravone was applied either throughout the entire experiment (Through) or only at reoxygenation (Reox), cell death was significantly reduced to 39.9+/-1.8% (P<0.01 vs Control) and 43.3+/-2.5% (P<0.05 vs Control), respectively. In contrast, when edaravone was applied 10 min after reoxygenation, its protective effect disappeared. Cardioprotection by edaravone was more remarkable than that afforded by other free radical scavengers, such as ascorbate and superoxide dismutase (SOD). There is a positive correlation between the cardioprotective effect of edaravone and the extent of ROS reduction. 4 Edaravone blunted the H2O2-induced changes in electrical properties, and significantly prolonged the time to contracture induced by H2O2 in single ventricular myocytes. 5 Taken together, edaravone directly protects cardiomyocytes from I/R injury by attenuating ROS production, even when applied at the time of reoxygenation, suggesting that edaravone could be a potent cardioprotective therapeutic agent against hypoxia-reoxygenation injury.

Abstract
Extracellular nucleotides play an important role in thrombosis and inflammation, triggering a range of effects such as platelet activation and recruitment, endothelial cell activation, and vasoconstriction. CD39, the major vascular nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase (NTPDase), converts ATP and ADP to AMP, which is further degraded to the antithrombotic and anti-inflammatory mediator adenosine. Deletion of CD39 renders mice exquisitely sensitive to vascular injury, and CD39-null cardiac xenografts show reduced survival. Conversely, upregulation of CD39 by somatic gene transfer or administration of soluble NTPDases has major benefits in models of transplantation and inflammation. In this study we examined the consequences of transgenic expression of human CD39 (hCD39) in mice. Importantly, these mice displayed no overt spontaneous bleeding tendency under normal circumstances. The hCD39 transgenic mice did, however, exhibit impaired platelet aggregation, prolonged bleeding times, and resistance to systemic thromboembolism. Donor hearts transgenic for hCD39 were substantially protected from thrombosis and survived longer in a mouse cardiac transplant model of vascular rejection. These thromboregulatory manifestations in hCD39 transgenic mice suggest important therapeutic potential in clinical vascular disease and in the control of serious thrombotic events that compromise the survival of porcine xenografts in primates.

Abstract
Recent evidence suggests that chronic ingestion of small quantities of ethanol may protect myocardium from ischemic injury by activating many of the endogenous signal transduction elements that have been implicated during other forms of preconditioning. Studies conducted in a variety of animal models in vitro and in vivo have indicated that chronic ethanol consumption improves functional recovery after global ischemia, reduces biochemical markers of ischemic injury, and decreases myocardial infarct size. Many of these beneficial actions appear to occur independent of alterations in systemic and coronary hemodynamics and transmural myocardial perfusion. To date, adenosine type 1 (A(1)) receptors, alpha(1)-adrenoceptors, the epsilon isoform of protein kinase C (PKC), and adenosine triphosphate-dependent potassium (K(ATP)) channels have been shown to mediate cardioprotection associated with chronic ethanol ingestion. These data suggest another mechanism by which chronic, intermittent consumption of ethanol may reduce overall cardiovascular mortality, decrease the incidence of coronary artery disease, and improve survival after myocardial infarction in humans. In this brief review, we discuss current evidence supporting a role for endogenous signaling in chronic ethanol-induced myocardial protection against ischemic injury.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Depolarizing potassium cardioplegia has been increasingly linked to left ventricular dysfunction, arrhythmia, and microvascular damage. We tested a new polarizing normokalemic cardioplegic solution employing adenosine and lidocaine as the arresting, protecting, and preserving cardioprotective combination. Adenosine hyperpolarizes the myocyte by A1 receptor activation, and lidocaine blocks the sodium fast channels. METHODS Isolated perfused rat hearts were switched from the working mode to the Langendorff (nonworking) mode and arrested for 30 minutes, 2 hours, or 4 hours with 200 micromol/L adenosine and 500 micromol/L lidocaine in Krebs-Henseleit buffer (10 mmol/L glucose, pH 7.7, at 37 degrees C) or modified St Thomas' Hospital solution no. 2, both delivered at 70 mm Hg and 37 degrees C (arrest temperature 22 degrees C to 35 degrees C). RESULTS Adenosine and lidocaine hearts achieved faster mechanical arrest in (25 +/- 2 seconds, n = 23) compared with St Thomas' Hospital solution hearts (70 +/- 5 seconds, n = 24; P=.001). After 30 minutes of arrest, both groups developed comparable aortic flow at approximately 5 minutes of reperfusion. After 2 and 4 hours of arrest (cardioplegic solution delivered every 20 minutes for 2 minutes at 37 degrees C), only 50% (4 of 8) and 14% (1 of 7) of St Thomas' Hospital solution hearts recovered aortic flow, respectively. All adenosine and lidocaine hearts arrested for 2 hours (n = 7) and 4 hours (n = 9) recovered 70% to 80% of their prearrest aortic flows. Similarly, heart rate, systolic pressures, and rate-pressure products recovered to 85% to 100% and coronary flows recovered to 70% to 80% of prearrest values. Coronary vascular resistance during delivery of cardioplegic solution was significantly lower (P <.05) after 2 and 4 hours in hearts arrested with adenosine and lidocaine cardioplegic solution compared with hearts arrested with St Thomas' Hospital solution. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that adenosine and lidocaine polarizing cardioplegic solution confers superior cardiac protection during arrest and recovery compared with hyperkalemic depolarizing St Thomas' Hospital cardioplegic solution.

Abstract
We recently reported the identification of a novel human adenosine A3 receptor-selective agonist, (2S,3S,4R,5R)-3-amino-5-[6-[5-chloro-2-(3-methylisoxazol-5-ylmethoxy)benzylamino]purin-9-yl]-4-hydroxytetrahydrofuran-2-carboxylic acid methylamide (CP-608,039), with 1,260-fold selectivity for the human A3 versus human A1 receptor (DeNinno et al., J Med Chem 46: 353-355, 2003). However, because the modest (20-fold) rabbit A3 receptor selectivity of CP-608,039 precludes demonstration of A3-mediated cardioprotection in rabbit models, we identified another member of this class, (2S,3S,4R,5R)-3-amino-5-[6-(2,5-dichlorobenzylamino)purin-9-yl]-4-hydroxytetrahydrofuran-2-carboxylic acid methylamide (CP-532,903), which both retained human A3 receptor selectivity (210-fold; human A3/human A1 Ki: 23/4,800 nM) and had improved rabbit A3 receptor selectivity (90-fold; rabbit A3/rabbit A1 Ki: 23/2,000 nM). Infarct size was measured in Langendorff hearts or in vivo after 30 min of regional ischemia and 120 min of reperfusion. Five-minute perfusion with CP-532,903 before ischemia-reperfusion elicited a concentration-dependent reduction in infarct size in isolated hearts (EC50: 0.97 nM; maximum reduction in infarct size: 77%, P < 0.05 vs. control). Furthermore, administration of CP-532,903 (150 nM) at reperfusion also significantly reduced infarct size by 64% (P < 0.05 vs. control), which was not different (P > or = 0.05) from the cardioprotection provided by the same concentration of drug given before ischemia. The selective rabbit A1 receptor antagonist BWA1433 did not affect CP-532,903-dependent cardioprotection. In vivo, CP-532,903 (1 mg/kg) reduced infarct size by 50% in the absence of significant hemodynamic effects (mean arterial pressure, heart rate, rate-pressure product). CP-532,903 and CP-608,039 represent a novel class of human A3 receptor-selective agonists that may prove suitable for investigation of the clinical cardioprotective efficacy of A3 receptor activation.

Abstract
Cells of the cardiovascular system generate and release purine nucleoside adenosine in increasing quantities when constituent cells are "stressed" or subjected to injurious stimuli. This increased adenosine can interact with surface receptors in myocardial, vascular, fibroblast, and inflammatory cells to modulate cellular function and phenotype. Additionally, adenosine is rapidly reincorporated back into 5'-AMP to maintain the adenine nucleotide pool. Via these receptor-dependent and independent (metabolic) paths, adenosine can substantially modify the acute response to ischemic insult, in addition to generating a more sustained ischemia-tolerant phenotype (preconditioning). However, the molecular basis for acute adenosinergic cardioprotection remains incompletely understood and may well differ from more widely studied preconditioning. Here we review current knowledge and some controversies regarding acute cardioprotection via adenosine and adenosine receptor activation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine whether sulfonylureas attenuate ST-segment elevation in diabetics during acute myocardial infarction (AMI). BACKGROUND Sulfonylureas block adenosine triphosphate-sensitive potassium channels found in the pancreas and heart. Animal studies have demonstrated that opening of these cardiac channels results in ST-segment elevation during AMI, and pretreatment with sulfonylureas blunts these ST-segment changes. METHODS We performed a retrospective study of diabetic patients hospitalized with AMI over a four-year period in Framingham, Massachusetts. Electrocardiograms obtained on arrival were analyzed for standard ST-segment criteria for thrombolytic therapy (>1 mm in two or more contiguous leads). Results were compared between the study group (40 patients taking sulfonylureas) and control group (48 patients taking alternative hypoglycemic agent). RESULTS Demographics were similar for both groups apart from a female preponderance in the study group. A significantly higher percentage of patients in the study group did not meet ST-segment criteria for thrombolytic therapy as compared with the control group (53% vs. 29%, p = 0.02). This difference was most prominent in patients with peak creatinine phosphokinase levels between 500 and 1,000 mg/dl (86% vs. 22%, p = 0.04). The magnitude of ST-segment elevation and the frequency of thrombolytic therapy were significantly lower in the sulfonylurea group than in the control group (1.1 +/- 1.0 mm vs. 2.1 +/- 2.7 mm, p = 0.02 and 20% vs. 40%, p = 0.04, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Sulfonylurea therapy appears to attenuate the magnitude of ST-segment elevation during an AMI, resulting in failure to meet criteria for thrombolytic therapy and as a consequence leading to inappropriate withholding therapy in this subset of diabetic patients.

Abstract
The present study was aimed at characterizing alterations of the nucleotide content and morphological state of rat corticoencephalic cell cultures subjected to metabolic damage and treatment with modulators of mitochondrial ATP-dependent potassium channels (mitoK(ATP)). In a first series of experiments, in vitro ischemic changes of the contents of purine and pyrimidine nucleoside diphosphates and triphosphates were measured by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and the corresponding histological alterations were determined by celestine blue/acid fuchsin staining. As an ischemic stimulus, incubation with a glucose-free medium saturated with argon was used. Ischemia decreased the levels of adenosine, guanine and uridine triphosphate (ATP, GTP, UTP) and increased the levels of the respective dinucleotides ADP and UDP, whereas the GDP content was not changed. Both 5-hydroxydecanoate (5-HD) and diazoxide failed to alter the contents of nucleoside diphosphates and triphosphates, when applied under normoxic conditions. 5-HD (30 microM) prevented the ischemia-induced changes of nucleotide and nucleoside levels. Diazoxide (300 microM), either alone or in combination with 5-hydroxydecanoate (30 microM) was ineffective. Pyruvate (5 mM) partially reversed the effects of ischemia or ischemia plus 2-deoxyglucose (20mM) in the incubation medium. Diazoxide (300 microM) and 5-HD (30 microM) had no effect in the presence of pyruvate (5mM) and 2-deoxyglucose (20mM). Staining the cells with celestine blue/acid fuchsin in order to classify them as intact, reversibly or profoundly injured, revealed a protective effect of 5-HD. When compared with 5-HD, diazoxide, pyruvate and 2-deoxyglucose had similar but less pronounced effects. In conclusion, these results suggest a protective role of 5-hydroxydecanoate on early corticoencephalic nucleotide and cell viability alterations during ischemia.

Abstract
Coronary artery disease and its sequelae-ischemia, myocardial infarction, and heart failure-are leading causes of morbidity and mortality in man. Considerable effort has been devoted toward improving functional recovery and reducing the extent of infarction after ischemic episodes. As a step in this direction, it was found that the heart was significantly protected against ischemia-reperfusion injury if it was first preconditioned by brief ischemia or by administering a potassium channel opener. Both of these preconditioning strategies were found to require opening of a K(ATP) channel, and in 1997 we showed that this pivotal role was mediated by the mitochondrial ATP-sensitive K(+) channel (mitoK(ATP)). This paper will review the evidence showing that opening mitoK(ATP) is cardioprotective against ischemia-reperfusion injury and, moreover, that mitoK(ATP) plays this role during all three phases of the natural history of ischemia-reperfusion injury preconditioning, ischemia, and reperfusion. We discuss two distinct mechanisms by which mitoK(ATP) opening protects the heart-increased mitochondrial production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) during the preconditioning phase and regulation of intermembrane space (IMS) volume during the ischemic and reperfusion phases. It is likely that cardioprotection by ischemic preconditioning (IPC) and K(ATP) channel openers (KCOs) arises from utilization of normal physiological processes. Accordingly, we summarize the results of new studies that focus on the role of mitoK(ATP) in normal cardiomyocyte physiology. Here, we observe the same two mechanisms at work. In low-energy states, mitoK(ATP) opening triggers increased mitochondrial ROS production, thereby amplifying a cell signaling pathway leading to gene transcription and cell growth. In high-energy states, mitoK(ATP) opening prevents the matrix contraction that would otherwise occur during high rates of electron transport. MitoK(ATP)-mediated volume regulation, in turn, prevents disruption of the structure-function of the IMS and facilitates efficient energy transfers between mitochondria and myofibrillar ATPases.

Abstract
Activation of A2A adenosine receptors (A2A-Rs) was found to prevent reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation and apoptosis in serum-deprived pheochromocytoma PC12 cells. A protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitor not only blocked the anti-apoptotic roles of A2A-R but also reversed A2A-R-induced suppression of ROS formation, indicating a PKA-dependent pathway in preventing ROS formation and apoptosis. PKA stimulators and antioxidants prevented serum-deprived ROS formation and apoptosis. In addition, A2A-R activation also prevented H2O2-induced cell death, further suggesting the protective roles of A2A-R in antagonizing oxidative stress and cell death. Finally, antioxidative system-interrupting agents attenuated A2A-R-mediated protection. Taken together, these data indicate that PKA-dependent regulation and attenuation of oxidative stress by A2A-R may play at least some roles in preventing serum-deprived PC12 cell apoptosis.

Abstract
Cardiac preconditioning represents the most potent and consistently reproducible method of rescuing heart tissue from undergoing irreversible ischaemic damage. Major milestones regarding the elucidation of this phenomenon have been passed in the last two decades. The signalling and amplification cascades from the preconditioning stimulus, be it ischaemic or pharmacological, to the putative end-effectors, including the mechanisms involved in cellular protection, are discussed in this review. Volatile anaesthetics and opioids effectively elicit pharmacological preconditioning. Anaesthetic-induced preconditioning and ischaemic preconditioning share many fundamental steps, including activation of G-protein-coupled receptors, multiple protein kinases and ATP-sensitive potassium channels (K(ATP) channels). Volatile anaesthetics prime the activation of the sarcolemmal and mitochondrial K(ATP) channels, the putative end-effectors of preconditioning, by stimulation of adenosine receptors and subsequent activation of protein kinase C (PKC) and by increased formation of nitric oxide and free oxygen radicals. In the case of desflurane, stimulation of alpha- and beta-adrenergic receptors may also be of importance. Similarly, opioids activate delta- and kappa-opioid receptors, and this also leads to PKC activation. Activated PKC acts as an amplifier of the preconditioning stimulus and stabilizes, by phosphorylation, the open state of the mitochondrial K(ATP) channel (the main end-effector in anaesthetic preconditioning) and the sarcolemmal K(ATP) channel. The opening of K(ATP) channels ultimately elicits cytoprotection by decreasing cytosolic and mitochondrial Ca(2+) overload.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The precise mechanism of isoflurane and mitochondrial adenosine triphosphate-sensitive potassium channel (mitoK(ATP)) interaction is still unclear, although the mitoK(ATP) is involved in isoflurane-induced preconditioning. We examined the role of various intracellular signaling systems in mitoK(ATP) activation with isoflurane. Mitochondrial flavoprotein fluorescence (MFF) was measured to quantify mitoK(ATP) activity in guinea pig cardiomyocytes. To confirm isoflurane-induced MFF, cells were exposed to Tyrode's solution containing either isoflurane (1.0 +/- 0.1 mM) or diazoxide and then both drugs together (n = 10 each). In other studies, the following drugs were each added during isoflurane administration: adenosine or the adenosine receptor antagonist 8-(p-sulfophenyl)-theophylline (SPT); the protein kinase C (PKC) activators phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) and phorbol-12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu); the PKC inhibitors polymyxin B and staurosporine; the tyrosine kinase inhibitor lavendustin A; or the mitogen-activated protein kinase inhibitor SB203580 (n = 10 each). Isoflurane potentiated MFF induced by diazoxide (100 micro M), and diazoxide also increased isoflurane-induced MFF. PMA (0.2 micro M), PDBu (1 micro M), and adenosine (100 micro M) induced MFF. However, SPT (100 micro M), polymyxin B (50 micro M), staurosporine (200 nM), lavendustin A (0.5 micro M), and SB203580 (10 micro M) all failed to inhibit the effect of isoflurane. Our results show that isoflurane, adenosine, and PKC activate mitoK(ATP). However, our data do not support an action of isoflurane through pathways involving adenosine, PKC, tyrosine kinase, or mitogen-activated protein kinase. These results suggest that isoflurane may directly activate mitoK(ATP). IMPLICATIONS Our results show that isoflurane activates mitochondrial adenosine triphosphate-sensitive potassium (mitoK(ATP)) channels, but not through pathways involving adenosine, protein kinase C, tyrosine kinase, or p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase. Isoflurane may directly activate mitoK(ATP) channels.

Abstract
Recent studies suggest that activation of mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium channels (mK(ATP)) with diazoxide can protect neurons against ischemic stress. However, it is not yet known whether astrocytes, which are more resilient against ischemia, respond similarly to diazoxide. We exposed cultured astrocytes to oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) or hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) with or without pretreatment with the mK(ATP) opener diazoxide. Marked decreases in astrocyte viability were evident after 9 and 12 hr of OGD [76% +/- 3% (n = 50) and 60% +/- 1% (n = 50)] and 400 and 600 microM H2O2 [40% +/- 2% (n = 16) and 25% +/- 2% (n = 16)], respectively, compared with no treatment (100% +/- 1%). Diazoxide treatment (3 days of sequential application) dramatically reversed the negative effects of OGD and H2O2, resulting in complete blockade of astrocyte cell death. Effects of diazoxide were blocked by the mK(ATP) blocker 5-hydroxydecanoic acid (5-HD). Furthermore, incubation of astrocytes with diazoxide resulted in loss of mitochondrial membrane potential monitored by tetramethylrhodamineethylester fluorescence. Additionally, generation of reactive oxygen species was observed in response to diazoxide, assessed using the oxidation-sensitive dye hydroethidine, and this effect was abolished by antioxidants, catalase, and a superoxide dismutase mimetic, M40401. Finally, diazoxide increased the protein level of phosphorylated protein kinase C (PKC) revealed by immunoblot analysis. Our findings demonstrate that opening of mK(ATP) by diazoxide identifies a delayed preconditioning effect that is protective against two types of injury in astrocytes and that diazoxide may deliver protection via mitochondrial depolarization, free radical production, and PKC activation.
