Bradykinin mediates cardiac preconditioning at a distance.

چکیده
Preconditioning the heart by brief coronary (CAO) or mesenteric artery occlusion (MAO) can protect against damage during subsequent prolonged CAO and reperfusion. The role of bradykinin (BK) in remote cardiac preconditioning by MAO is investigated by antagonizing the BK B(2) receptor [Hoechst 140 (HOE-140)] or simulating local BK release by mesenteric intra-arterial infusion. Anesthetized male Wistar rats (n = 6-8) were treated with HOE-140 or saline before starting the preconditioning protocol, CAO, MAO, or non-preconditioned control. Infarct size related to risk area [ratio of infarct area to area at risk (IA/AR)] was determined after 3 h of reperfusion following a 60-min CAO. IA/AR was 62 +/- 5% in controls and not affected by HOE-140 (58 +/- 6%). CAO as well as MAO significantly protected the heart (IA/AR, 37 +/- 3 and 35 +/- 5%), which was prevented by HOE-140 (IA/AR, 71 +/- 6 and 65 +/- 7%, respectively). Brief intramesenteric BK infusion mimicked MAO (IA/AR, 26 +/- 3%). Pretreatment with hexamethonium could abolish this protection (IA/AR, 67 +/- 4%). These data indicate an important role for BK in remote preconditioning by MAO. Results support the hypothesis that remote preconditioning acts through sensory nerve stimulation in the ischemic organ.

Cardiac interstitial bradykinin release during ischemia is enhanced by ischemic preconditioning.
Ischemic preconditioning is known to protect the myocardium from ischemia-reperfusion injury. We examined the transmural release of bradykinin during myocardial ischemia and the influence of ischemic preconditioning on bradykinin release during subsequent myocardial ischemia. Myocardial ischemia was induced by occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery in anesthetized cats. Cardi...

BACKGROUND Ischemic preconditioning (PC) represents a state-of-the-art technique for myocardial preservation. Although certain intracellular mediators have been shown to play a role in PC, the exact nature of the trigger for PC is not known. Our previous study demonstrated that intracellular bradykinin released from the heart during ischemia/reperfusion plays a role in myocardial preservation. ...
متن کاملVentilation strategy has a major influence on remote ischaemic preconditioning in mice
Whether oxygen should be administered acutely during ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction is debated. Despite this controversy, the possible influence of supplementary oxygen on animal models of ischaemia-reperfusion injury or cardioprotection is rarely considered. We used an in vivo mouse model of ischaemia and reperfusion to investigate the effect of ventilation with room air versus 100...
متن کاملBradykinin preconditioning improves the profile of cell survival proteins and limits apoptosis after cardioplegic arrest.
BACKGROUND We hypothesized that preconditioning the heart with bradykinin (BK) would improve the profile of antiapoptotic proteins and inhibit myocardial apoptosis. METHODS AND RESULTS Eighteen rabbit hearts were retrogradely perfused with Krebs-Henseleit buffer (KHB). Six control hearts were perfused with KHB for 90 minutes without cardioplegia ischemia. Six hearts were arrested for 30 minut...

Abstract Introduction: Occurrence of cardiac arrhythmias and myocardial infarction are two main deleterious events that are caused by ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury in the heart. Cardiac preconditioning represents the most potent method of rescuing heart tissue from undergoing irreversible ischemic damage. The aim of the present study was to evaluate oxytocin (OT) cardioprotective effect...
