OBJECTIVE Infarct size (IS) reduction by ischemic preconditioning (IPC) has been assessed in the heart in which coronary stenosis (CS)-induced chronic ischemia was not present. The aim of this study is to assess whether and how IS reduction by IPC is modified in the heart in which CS has occurred, and how further therapeutics, if any, modify it. METHODS We assessed the IS produced by a 30-minute acute coronary occlusion and a 24-hour reperfusion (COR) in rat hearts in which CS had developed for 1-12 weeks. Modifications of IS by IPC and the mitochondrial KATP channel (mitoKATP) opener and blocker, and the effects of daily beta-blocker treatment with carvedilol on them, were also assessed. Myocardial protein kinase C (PKC)-epsilon activities in the risk areas were measured by Western blotting. RESULTS One to 4 weeks after CS induction, myocardial PKC-epsilon was activated in the risk area of CS even without IPC, but such CS-induced PKC activation as well as that by IPC was attenuated 8-12 weeks after CS. The IS reductions by the mitoKATP opener as well as by IPC were attenuated 8-12 and 4-12 weeks after CS, respectively. Daily carvedilol treatment after inducing CS restored the malfunctioning PKC-mitoKATP signal cascade and the attenuated IPC and mitoKATP effect on IS. CONCLUSION CS activates the PKC-mitoKATP signal cascade, mimicking the IPC effect, whereas this cardioprotective effect is attenuated late after CS via their downregulation. Restoration of these changes may be a novel mechanism for cardioprotection by carvedilol in the CS-induced ischemic heart.

Loss of preconditioning by attenuated activation of myocardial ATP-sensitive potassium channels in elderly patients undergoing coronary angioplasty.

BACKGROUND The ischemic preconditioning response among elderly patients is known to be lower than in adult patients. Since mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channels exert preconditioning effects, we undertook this study to determine whether this attenuated activation of K(ATP) channels influences the reduced responsiveness of elderly patients to ischemic preconditioning. METHODS...

Pretreatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors partially attenuates ischemic preconditioning in rat hearts.

Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) confers cardioprotection against a prolonged ischemic insult. Tyrosine kinase (TK) inhibitors have been shown to attenuate IPC; however, it is unclear whether TK is involved in the initiation of and/or the maintenance of this phenomenon. Thus the hypothesis that TK acts primarily during the initiation of IPC was examined in a rat model of myocardial infarction. He...

Effect of endogenous nitric oxide on cardiac ischemic preconditioning in rat

Introduction: Ischemic Preconditioning (IPC) is the phenomen that happens on the heart by one or several short periods of ischemia followed by reperfusion that improve the postischemic recovery of mechanical function. Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) may protect the heart from ischemia reperfusion injury by nitric oxide formation. This study investigated the effect of ischemic preconditioni...
