چکیده
OBJECTIVES We investigated the effects of ischemic preconditioning (PC) on diabetic and failing human myocardium and the role of mitochondrial KATP channels on the response in these diseased tissues. BACKGROUND There is conflicting evidence to suggest that PC is a healthy heart phenomenon. METHODS Right atrial appendages were obtained from seven different groups of patients: nondiabetics, diet-controlled diabetics, noninsulin-dependent diabetics (NIDD) receiving KATP channel blockers, insulin-dependent diabetics (IDD), and patients with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) >50%, LVEF between 30% and 50% and LVEF <30%. After stabilization, the muscle slices were randomized into five experimental groups (n = 6/group): 1) aerobic control-incubated in oxygenated buffer for 210 min, 2) ischemia alone-90 min ischemia followed by 120 min reoxygenation, 3) preconditioning by 5 min ischemia/5 min reoxygenation before 90 min ischemia/120 min reoxygenation, 4) diazoxide (Mito KATP opener, 0.1 mm)-for 10 min before the 90 min ischemia/120 min reoxygenation and 5) glibenclamide (10 microm)-10 min exposure prior to PC (only in the diabetic patient groups). Creatine kinase leakage into the medium (CK, U/g wet wt) and MTT reduction (OD/mg wet wt), an index of cell viability, were assessed at the end of the experiment. RESULTS Ischemia caused similar injury in both normal and diseased tissue. Preconditioning prevented the effects of ischemia in all groups except NIDD, IDD and poor cardiac function (<30%). In the diazoxide-treated groups, protection was mimicked in all groups except the NIDD and IDD groups. Interestingly, glybenclamide abolished protection in nondiabetic and diet-controlled NIDD groups and did not affect NIDD groups receiving KATP channel blockers or IDD groups. CONCLUSIONS These results show that failure to precondition the diabetic heart is due to dysfunction of the mitochondrial KATP channels and that the mechanism of failure in the diabetic heart lies in elements of the signal transduction pathway different from the mitochondrial KATP channels.

CLINICAL STUDIES Interventional Cardiology Bradykinin-Induced Preconditioning in Patients Undergoing Coronary Angioplasty
BACKGROUND Experimental studies suggest that activation of the bradykinin B2 receptor is an important trigger of ischemic PC. However, it is unknown whether bradykinin can precondition human myocardium against ischemia in vivo. Multicenter clinical trials have demonstrated an anti-ischemic effect of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, which has been postulated to result from potentiation ...
متن کاملThe Frank-Starling mechanism involves deceleration of cross-bridge kinetics and is preserved in failing human right ventricular myocardium.
Cross-bridge cycling rate is an important determinant of cardiac output, and its alteration can potentially contribute to reduced output in heart failure patients. Additionally, animal studies suggest that this rate can be regulated by muscle length. The purpose of this study was to investigate cross-bridge cycling rate and its regulation by muscle length under near-physiological conditions in ...
متن کاملLocalization and origin of cardiac CD117-positive cells: identification of a population of epicardially-derived cells in adult human heart.
During heart morphogenesis, epicardial cells undergo epithelial-mesenchymal transition giving origin to a population of epicardially derived cells that play a crucial role in the development of most cardiac cell lineages. Considering the hypothesis that epithelial-mesenchymal transition of epicardial mesothelium can generate cardiac primitive cells in the adult heart, we have examined in vivo a...

Aims G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2), which is markedly upregulated in failing human myocardium, has been implicated as a contributing factor or consequence of heart failure (HF). Importantly, cardiac-specific GRK2 knockout mice have recently proved the pathological nature of GRK2 in HF. Targeted inhibition of GRK2 is possible using a peptide inhibitor known as the bARKct, which has ...
