چکیده

Mitochondrial permeability transition (mPT) is a crucial event in the progression to cell death in the setting of ischemia-reperfusion. We have used a model system in which mPT can be reliably and reproducibly induced to test the hypothesis that the profound protection associated with the phenomenon of myocardial preconditioning is mediated by suppression of the mPT. Adult rat myocytes were loaded with the fluorescent probe tetramethylrhodamine methyl ester, which generates oxidative stress on laser illumination, thus inducing the mPT (indicated by collapse of the mitochondrial membrane potential) and ATP depletion, seen as rigor contracture. The known inhibitors of the mPT, cyclosporin A (0.2 microM) and N-methyl-4-valine-cyclosporin A (0.4 microM), increased the time taken to induce the mPT by 1.8- and 2.9-fold, respectively, compared with control (P < 0.001) and rigor contracture by 1.5-fold compared with control (P < 0.001). Hypoxic preconditioning (HP) and pharmacological preconditioning, using diazoxide (30 microM) or nicorandil (100 microM), also increased the time taken to induce the mPT by 2.0-, 2.1-, and 1.5-fold, respectively (P < 0.001), and rigor contracture by 1.9-, 1.7-, and 1.5-fold, respectively, compared with control (P < 0.001). Effects of HP, diazoxide, and nicorandil were abolished in the presence of mitochondrial ATP-sensitive K(+) (K(ATP)) channel blockers glibenclamide (10 microM) and 5-hydroxydecanoate (100 microM) but were maintained in the presence of the sarcolemmal K(ATP) channel blocker HMR-1098 (10 microM). In conclusion, preconditioning protects the myocardium by reducing the probability of the mPT, which normally occurs during ischemia-reperfusion in response to oxidative stress.

Protection of cardiac mitochondria by diazoxide and protein kinase C: implications for ischemic preconditioning.

Mitochondrial ATP-sensitive K (mitoK(ATP)) channels play a central role in protecting the heart from injury in ischemic preconditioning. In isolated mitochondria exposed to elevated extramitochondrial Ca, P(i), and anoxia to simulate ischemic conditions, the selective mitoK(ATP) channel agonist diazoxide (25-50 microM) potently reduced mitochondrial injury by preventing both the mitochondrial p...

Hydrogen Sulfide Preconditioning Protects Rat Liver against Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury by Activating Akt-GSK-3β Signaling and Inhibiting Mitochondrial Permeability Transition

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is the third most common endogenously produced gaseous signaling molecule, but its impact on hepatic ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, especially on mitochondrial function, remains unclear. In this study, rats were randomized into Sham, I/R, ischemia preconditioning (IPC) or sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS, an H2S donor) preconditioning groups. To establish a model of segmenta...

Preconditioning effects of oxytocin in reducing cardiac arrhythmias in a rat heart regional ischemia-reperfusion model

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...

Transient mitochondrial permeability transition pore opening mediates preconditioning-induced protection.

BACKGROUND Transient (low-conductance) opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) may limit mitochondrial calcium load and mediate mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) signaling. We hypothesize that transient mPTP opening and ROS mediate the protection associated with myocardial preconditioning and mitochondrial uncoupling. METHODS AND RESULTS Isolated perfused ra...
