Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study explored the inter-relationship among nitric oxide, opioids, and KATP channels in the signaling pathway underlying remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) conferred cardioprotection. MATERIALS AND METHODS Blood pressure cuff was placed around the hind limb of the animal and RIPC was performed by 4 cycles of inflation (5 min) followed by deflation (5 min). An ex vivo Langendorff's isolated rat heart model was used to induce ischemia (of 30 min duration)-reperfusion (of 120 min duration) injury. RESULTS RIPC significantly decreased ischemia-reperfusion associated injury assessed by decrease in myocardial infarct, LDH and CK release, improvement in postischemic left ventricular function, LVDP, dp/dtmax, and dp/dtmin. Pretreatment with L-NAME and naloxone abolished RIPC-induced cardioprotection. Moreover, preconditioning with sodium nitroprusside (SNP) and morphine produced a cardioprotective effect in a similar manner to RIPC. L-NAME, but not naloxone, attenuated RIPC and SNP preconditioning-induced increase in serum nitrite levels. Morphine preconditioning did not increase the NO levels, probably suggesting that opioids may be the downstream mediators of NO. Furthermore, glibenclamide and naloxone blocked cardioprotection conferred by morphine and SNP, respectively. CONCLUSION It may be proposed that the actions of NO, opioids, and KATP channels are interlinked. It is possible to suggest that RIPC may induce the release of NO from endothelium, which may trigger the synthesis of endogenous opioids, which in turn may activate heart localized KATP channels to induce cardioprotection.

Abstract
A humoral mechanism of cardioprotection by remote ischemic preconditioning (RIP) has been clearly demonstrated in various models of ischemia-reperfusion including upper and lower extremities, liver, and the mesenteric and renal arteries. A wide range of humoral factors for RIP have been proposed including hydrophobic peptides, opioid peptides, adenosine, prostanoids, endovanilloids, endocannabinoids, calcitonin gene-related peptide, leukotrienes, noradrenaline, adrenomedullin, erythropoietin, apolipoprotein, A-I glucagon-like peptide-1, interleukin 10, stromal cell-derived factor 1, and microRNAs. Virtually, all of the components of ischemic preconditioning's signaling pathway such as nitric oxide synthase, protein kinase C, redox signaling, PI3-kinase/Akt, glycogen synthase kinase β, ERK1/2, mitoKATP channels, Connexin 43, and STAT were all found to play a role. The signaling pattern also depends on which remote vascular bed was subjected to ischemia and on the time between applying the rip and myocardial ischemia occurs. Because there is convincing evidence for many seemingly diverse humoral components in RIP, the most likely explanation is that the overall mechanism is complex like that seen in ischemic preconditioning where multiple components are both in series and in parallel and interact with each other. Inhibition of any single component in the right circumstance may block the resulting protective effect, and selectively activating that component may trigger the protection. Identifying the humoral factors responsible for RIP might be useful in developing drugs that confer RIP's protection in a more comfortable and reliable manner.

Abstract
The present study was aimed to explore the role of endothelins in remote preconditioning (RP)-induced myocardial protection in ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury. RP stimulus was given by subjecting hind limb to four cycles of ischemia and reperfuion (5 minutes each) using blood pressure cuff in male rats. Following RP, hearts were isolated and subjected to 30 minutes of ischemia and 120 minutes of reperfusion on Langendorff apparatus. The extent of myocardial injury was determined by measuring the levels of LDH-1, CK-MB and cardiac troponin T (cTnT) in coronary effluent; caspase-3 activity and Bcl 2 expression in heart (apoptosis); infarct size by triphenyl tetrazolium chloride and contractility parameters including left ventricular developed pressure, dp/dtmax dp/dtmin and heart rate. RP reduced ischemia reperfusion-induced myocardial injury, increased the levels of endothelin 1 (in blood), Akt-P, GSK-3β-P and P-connexin 43 (in hearts). Pretreatment with ETA receptor antagonist, BQ 123 (1 and 2 mg/kg), ETB receptor antagonist, BQ 788 (1 and 3 mg/kg) and dual inhibitor of ETA and ETB receptor, bonsentan (25 and 50 mg/kg) abolished these effects of RP. However, the effects of bonsentan were more pronounced in comparison to BQ 123 and BQ 788. It is concluded that RP stimulus may release endothelin 1 in the blood, which may activate myocardial ETA and ETB receptors to trigger cardioprotection through connexin 43 and Akt/GSK-3β pathway.

Abstract
Cardioprotective efficacy of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) remains controversial. Experimental studies investigating RIPC have largely monitored cardiovascular changes during index ischemia and reperfusion with little work investigating changes during RIPC application. This work aims to identify cardiovascular changes associated with autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity during RIPC and prior to index ischemia. RIPC was induced in anesthetized male C57/Bl6 mice by four cycles of 5 min of hindlimb ischemia using inflated cuff (200 mmHg) followed by 5 min reperfusion. Electrocardiography (ECG) and microcirculatory blood flow in both hindlimbs were recorded throughout RIPC protocol. Heart rate variability (HRV) analysis was performed using ECG data. Hearts extracted at the end of RIPC protocol were used either for measurement of myocardial metabolites using high‐performance liquid chromatography or for Langendorff perfusion to monitor function and injury during 30 min index ischemia and 2 h reperfusion. Isolated‐perfused hearts from RIPC animals had significantly less infarct size after index ischemia and reperfusion (34 ± 5% vs. 59 ± 7%; mean ± SE P < 0.05). RIPC protocol was associated with increased heart rate measured both in ex vivo and in vivo. Frequency ratio of HRV spectra was altered in RIPC compared to control. RIPC was associated with a standard hyperemic response in the cuffed‐limb but there was a sustained reduction in blood flow in the uncuffed contralateral limb. RIPC hearts (prior to index ischemia) had significantly lower phosphorylation potential and energy charge compared to the control group. In conclusion, RIPC is associated with changes in ANS activity (heart rate, blood flow, HRV) and mild myocardial ischemic stress that would contribute to cardioprotection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vasovagal syncope (VVS) is characterized by hypotension and bradycardia followed by lowering of cerebral blood flow. Remote limb ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) is well documented to provide cardio- and neuroprotection as well as to improve cerebral blood flow. We hypothesized that RIPC will provide protection against VVS-induced hypotension, bradycardia, and cerebral hypoperfusion. Second, because endothelial nitric oxide synthase has been reported as a mediator of cerebral blood flow control, we hypothesized that the mechanism by which RIPC primes the vasculature against VVS is via the α1-adrenoceptor-protein kinase Cε-endothelial nitric oxide synthase pathway. METHODS AND RESULTS We utilized sinusoidal galvanic vestibular stimulation in rats as a model of VVS. RIPC attenuated the lowerings of mean arterial pressure, heart rate, and cerebral blood flow caused by sinusoidal galvanic vestibular stimulation, as well as improving behavior during, and recovery after, stimulation. RIPC induced elevated serum norepinephrine, increased expression of brain α1-adrenoceptors, and reduced brain expression of norepinephrine transporter 1. Antagonizing adrenoceptors and norepinephrine transporter 1 prevented RIPC protection of cerebral perfusion during sinusoidal galvanic vestibular stimulation. CONCLUSIONS Taken together, this study indicates that RIPC may be a potential therapy that can prevent VVS pathophysiology, decrease syncopal episodes, and reduce the injuries associated with syncopal falls. Furthermore, the α1-adrenoceptor-protein kinase Cε-endothelial nitric oxide synthase pathway may be a therapeutic target for regulating changes in cerebral blood flow.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nitric oxide (NO) is an effective mediator of ischemic preconditioning (IPC)-induced cardioprotection. Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is downregulated after ovariectomy, which results in reduction in the level of NO. The present study deals with the investigation of the role of ANP in abrogated cardioprotective effect of IPC in the ovariectomized rat heart. METHODS Heart was isolated from ovariectomized rat and mounted on Langendorff's apparatus, subjected to 30 min of ischemia and 120 min of reperfusion. IPC was given by four cycles of 5 min of ischemia and 5 min of reperfusion with Krebs-Henseleit solution. The myocardial infract size was estimated employing triphenyltetrazolium chloride stain, and coronary effluent was analyzed for creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release to consider the degree of myocardial injury. The cardiac release of NO was estimated by measuring the level of nitrite in coronary effluent. RESULTS IPC-mediated cardioprotection was significantly attenuated in ovariectomized rat as compared to normal rat, which was restored by perfusion with ANP. However, this observed cardioprotection was significantly attenuated by perfusion with L-NAME, an endothelial nitric oxide synthase inhibitor, and Glibenclamide, a KATP channel blocker, alone or in combination noted in terms of increase in myocardial infract size, release of CK-MB and LDH, and also decrease in release of NO. CONCLUSION Thus, it is suggested that ANP restores the attenuated cardioprotective effect of IPC in the ovariectomized rat heart which may be due to increase in the availability of NO and consequent increase activation of mitochondrial KATP channels.

Abstract
Currently, there are no satisfactory interventions to protect the heart against the detrimental effects of ischemia-reperfusion injury. Although ischemic preconditioning (PC) is the most powerful form of intrinsic cardioprotection, its application in humans is limited to planned interventions, due to its short duration and technical requirements. However, many organs/tissues are capable of producing "remote" PC (RPC) when subjected to brief bouts of ischemia-reperfusion. RPC was first described in the heart where brief ischemia in one territory led to protection in other area. Later on, RPC started to be used in patients with acute myocardial infarction, albeit with ambiguous results. It is hypothesized that the connection between the signal triggered in remote organ and protection induced in the heart can be mediated by humoral and neural pathways, as well as via systemic response to short sublethal ischemia. However, although RPC has a potentially important clinical role, our understanding of the mechanistic pathways linking the local stimulus to the remote organ remains incomplete. Nevertheless, RPC appears as a cost-effective and easily performed intervention. Elucidation of protective mechanisms activated in the remote organ may have therapeutic and diagnostic implications in the management of myocardial ischemia and lead to development of pharmacological RPC mimetics.

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 Ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of death in postmenopausal women. The expression of caveolin, a membrane protein and a negative regulator of nitric oxide (NO), increases after menopause. The present study was designed to determine the effect of daidzein (DDZ), a phytoestrogen in attenuated cardioprotective effect of ischemic preconditioning (IPC) in ovariectomized rat heart. METHODS Heart was isolated from ovariectomized rat and mounted on Langendorff's apparatus, subjected to 30 min ischemia and 120 min reperfusion. IPC was mediated by four cycles of 5 min ischemia and 5 min reperfusion. The infarct size was estimated using triphenyltetrazolium chloride stain, and coronary effluent was analyzed for lactate dehydrogenase and creatine kinase MB (CK-MB) release to assess the degree of myocardial injury. The release of NO was estimated indirectly by measuring the release of nitrite in coronary effluent. RESULTS IPC-induced cardioprotection was significantly attenuated in ovariectomized rats as compared to normal rats, which was restored by treatment of DDZ, a caveolin inhibitor (0.2 mg/kg subcutaneously) for 1 week. However, this observed cardioprotection was significantly attenuated by perfusion of l-nitroarginine methyl ester, an endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) inhibitor (100 µM/L) and glibenclamide, an adenosine triphosphate-sensitive potassium ion channel blocker (10 µM/L) alone or in combination, noted in terms of increase in myocardial infarct size, release of LDH and CK-MB, and also decrease in the release of NO. CONCLUSION Thus, it is suggested that DDZ restores the attenuated cardioprotective effect in ovariectomized rat heart, which may be due to downregulation of caveolin and subsequent increase in the activity of eNOS.

Abstract
Inhibition of matrix metalloproteinases-2 (MMP-2) activation renders cardioprotection from ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury; however, the signaling pathways involved have not been fully understood. Intermittent hypobaric hypoxia (IHH) has been shown to enhance myocardial tolerance to I/R injury via triggering intrinsic adaptive responses. Here we investigated whether IHH protects the heart against I/R injury via the regulation of MMP-2 and how the MMP-2 is regulated. IHH (Po2 = 84 mmHg, 4-h/day, 4 wk) improved postischemic myocardial contractile performance, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release, and infarct size in isolated perfused rat hearts. Moreover, IHH reversed I/R-induced MMP-2 activation and release, disorders in the levels of MMP-2 regulators, peroxynitrite (ONOO(-)) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-4 (TIMP-4), and loss of the MMP-2 targets α-actinin and troponin I. This protection was mimicked, but not augmented, by a MMP inhibitor doxycycline and lost by the α1-adrenoceptor (AR) antagonist prazosin. Furthermore, IHH increased myocardial α1A-AR and α1B-AR density but not α1D-AR after I/R. Concomitantly, IHH further enhanced the translocation of PKC epsilon (PKCε) and decreased the release of mitochondrial cytochrome c due to I/R via the activation of α1B-AR but not α1A-AR or α1D-AR. IHH-conferred cardioprotection in the postischemic contractile function, LDH release, MMP-2 activation, and nitrotyrosine as well as TIMP-4 contents were mimicked but not additive by α1-AR stimulation with phenylephrine and were abolished by an α1B-AR antagonist chloroethylclonidine and a PKCε inhibitor PKCε V1-2. These findings demonstrate that IHH exerts cardioprotection through attenuating excess ONOO(-) biosynthesis and TIMP-4 loss and sequential MMP-2 activation via the activation of α1B-AR/PKCε pathway.

Korean Circ J 2012; 42:600-5. [PMID: 23091504 PMCID: PMC3467443 DOI: 10.4070/kcj.2012.42.9.600] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2011] [Revised: 02/27/2012] [Accepted: 04/10/2012] [Indexed: 11/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Background and Objectives We investigated whether 1 hour reperfusion is enough to assess cardiodynamics and infarct size in both regional ischemia (RI) and global ischemia (GI) in isolated rat heart models. Materials and Methods Hearts were randomly assigned to one of the following groups (each n=14): 1) Sham hearts for 1 hour; 2) Sham hearts for 2 hours; 3) 30 minutes RI followed by 1 hour reperfusion; 4) 30 minutes of RI followed by 2 hours reperfusion; 5) 30 minutes GI followed by 1 hour reperfusion; and 6) 30 minutes GI followed by 2 hours reperfusion. Results There were no significant differences in infarct size between 1 hour and 2 hours reperfusion in both RI and GI. Left ventricular developed pressure was significantly decreased at both 1 hour and 2 hours reperfusion in groups of RI and GI compared to baseline (p<0.01). Rate-pressure product and +dP/dtmax also significantly decreased compared to baseline level at both 1 hour and 2 hours reperfusion in groups of RI and GI (p<0.05). Conclusion There was no significant difference in infarct size between 1 hour and 2 hours reperfusion in groups of RI and GI. Cardiodynamic variables measured at 1 hour and 2 hours reperfusion significantly decreased compared to baseline level. Our data suggests that reperfusion of 1 hour is sufficient to assess cardiodynamics in both regional and global ischemic isolated hearts model.

The administration of oxytocin during early reperfusion, dose-dependently protects the isolated male rat heart against ischemia/reperfusion injury. Eur J Pharmacol 2012; 682:137-41. [PMID: 22406244 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2012.02.029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2011] [Revised: 02/07/2012] [Accepted: 02/15/2012] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
In our previous study, the administration of oxytocin (OT) could precondition the heart against ischemia/reperfusion injury. In this study, to investigate the cardiac postconditioning effect of oxytocin, isolated rat hearts were mounted on a Langendorff perfusion apparatus. In all groups, the hearts underwent 30 min of regional ischemia followed by 120 min of reperfusion. In the ischemia/reperfusion (IR) group, ischemia and reperfusion was induced. In the ischemic postconditioning (Ipost) group, hearts underwent 6 cycles of 10s reperfusion and 10s ischemia at the beginning of reperfusion. In the other groups (III-IX), OT was perfused 5 min before the onset of reperfusion and continued for 25 min with following doses (Molar): 10(-12), 5 × 10(-12), 8 × 10(-12), 10(-11), 2 × 10(-11), 5 × 10(-11), and 10(-10). The infarct size and coronary effluent levels of creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were calculated at the end of reperfusion. The infarct size decreased considerably in Ipost group compared to IR group (P<0.05). Also, the infusion of oxytocin by doses of 8 × 10(-12)M, 10(-11)M and 2 × 10(-11)M dose-dependently reduced infarct size (P<0.05) significantly compared to the IR group. LDH level in coronary effluent was markedly decreased in Ipost group and treatment with oxytocin by doses of 8 × 10(-12)M, 10(-11)M, 2 × 10(-11)M and 5 × 10(-11)M (P<0.05) compared to IR group. Ipost, OT 2 × 10(-11)and 10(-11)M significantly decreased CK-MB level (P<0.05). Ipost, OT 8 × 10(-12), 10(-11) and 2 × 10(-11)M significantly decreased MDA level as compared to IR group. Our study shows that oxytocin dose-dependently exerts cardiac postconditioning.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) has been demonstrated to make myocardium transiently more resistant to deleterious effect of prolonged ischemia. The opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) at the time of myocardial reperfusion is a critical determinant of cell death. L-thyroxine pre-treatment increases the tolerance of the heart to ischemia and produces cardioprotection similar to ischemic precondition. This study has been designed to investigate the mechanism involved in L-thyroxine-induced cardiomyocyte protection against ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS L-thyroxine (T(4)) was administered to Wistar rats (n=6) (25 μg/100 g/day s.c.) for two weeks. Hearts from normal and L-thyroxine-treated rats were perfused in Langendorff's mode and subjected to 30 min of ischemia followed by 120 min of reperfusion. Myocardial infarct size was estimated by triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) was analyzed in coronary effluent. RESULTS IPC and pharmacological preconditioning (PPC) significantly decreased (P<0.05) myocardial infarct size, release of LDH and CK-MB in rat heart. Perfusion of atractyloside, an opener of mPTP, significantly (P<0.05) attenuated the cardioprotective effect of IPC and L-thyroxine-induced pharmacological preconditioning (PPC) in normal rat heart. CONCLUSION The cardioprotective effect of L-thyroxine-induced preconditioning may be mediated through inhibition of mPTP opening during reperfusion phase.

Ajmani P, Yadav HN, Singh M, Sharma PL. Possible involvement of caveolin in attenuation of cardioprotective effect of ischemic preconditioning in diabetic rat heart. BMC Cardiovasc Disord 2011; 11:43. [PMID: 21745415 PMCID: PMC3142229 DOI: 10.1186/1471-2261-11-43] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2011] [Accepted: 07/12/2011] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Nitric oxide (NO) has been noted to produce ischemic preconditioning (IPC)-mediated cardioprotection. Caveolin is a negative regulator of NO, which inhibits endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) by making caveolin-eNOS complex. The expression of caveolin is increased during diabetes mellitus (DM). The present study was designed to investigate the involvement of caveolin in attenuation of the cardioprotective effect of IPC during DM in rat. Methods Experimental DM was induced by single dose of streptozotocin (50 mg/Kg, i.p,) and animals were used for experiments four weeks later. Isolated heart was mounted on Langendorff's apparatus, and was subjected to 30 min of global ischemia and 120 min of reperfusion. IPC was given by four cycles of 5 min of ischemia and 5 min of reperfusion with Kreb's-Henseleit solution (K-H). Extent of injury was measured in terms of infarct size by triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining, and release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and creatin kinase-MB (CK-MB) in coronary effluent. The cardiac release of NO was noted by measuring the level of nitrite in coronary effluent. Results IPC- induced cardioprotection and release of NO was significantly decreased in diabetic rat heart. Pre-treatment of diabetic rat with daidzein (DDZ) a caveolin inhibitor (0.2 mg/Kg/s.c), for one week, significantly increased the release of NO and restored the attenuated cardioprotective effect of IPC. Also perfusion of sodium nitrite (10 μM/L), a precursor of NO, significantly restored the lost effect of IPC, similar to daidzein in diabetic rat. Administration of 5-hydroxy deaconate (5-HD), a mito KATP channel blocker, significantly abolished the observed IPC-induced cardioprotection in normal rat or daidzein and sodium nitrite perfused diabetic rat heart alone or in combination. Conclusions Thus, it is suggested that attenuation of the cardioprotection in diabetic heart may be due to decrease the IPC mediated release of NO in the diabetic myocardium, which may be due to up -regulation of caveolin and subsequently decreased activity of eNOS.
