We examined the role of the sarcolemmal and mitochondrial KATPchannels in a rat model of ischemic preconditioning (IPC). Infarct size was expressed as a percentage of the area at risk (IS/AAR). IPC significantly reduced infarct size (7 ± 1%) versus control (56 ± 1%). The sarcolemmal KATP channel-selective antagonist HMR-1098 administered before IPC did not significantly attenuate cardioprotection. However, pretreatment with the mitochondrial KATP channel-selective antagonist 5-hydroxydecanoic acid (5-HD) 5 min before IPC partially abolished cardioprotection (40 ± 1%). Diazoxide (10 mg/kg iv) also reduced IS/AAR (36.2 ± 4.8%), but this effect was abolished by 5-HD. As an index of mitochondrial bioenergetic function, the rate of ATP synthesis in the AAR was examined. Untreated animals synthesized ATP at 2.12 ± 0.30 μmol ⋅ min−1 ⋅ mg mitochondrial protein−1. Rats subjected to ischemia-reperfusion synthesized ATP at 0.67 ± 0.06 μmol ⋅ min−1 ⋅ mg mitochondrial protein−1. IPC significantly increased ATP synthesis to 1.86 ± 0.23 μmol ⋅ min−1 ⋅ mg mitochondrial protein−1. However, when 5-HD was administered before IPC, the preservation of ATP synthesis was attenuated (1.18 ± 0.15 μmol ⋅ min−1 ⋅ mg mitochondrial protein−1). These data are consistent with the notion that inhibition of mitochondrial KATPchannels attenuates IPC by reducing IPC-induced protection of mitochondrial function.

The role of other STAT subtypes in conferring ischemic tolerance is unclear. We hypothesized that in STAT-3 deletion alternative STAT subtypes would protect myocardial function against ischemia-reperfusion injury. Wild-type (WT) male C57BL/6 mice or mice with cardiomyocyte STAT-3 knockout (KO) underwent baseline echocardiography. Langendorff-perfused hearts underwent ischemic preconditioning (IPC) or no IPC before ischemia-reperfusion. Following ex vivo perfusion, hearts were analyzed for STAT-5 and -6 phosphorylation by Western blot analysis of nuclear fractions. Echocardiography and postequilibration cardiac performance revealed no differences in cardiac function between WT and KO hearts. Phosphorylated STAT-5 and -6 expression was similar in WT and KO hearts before perfusion. Contractile function in WT and KO hearts was significantly impaired following ischemia-reperfusion in the absence of IPC. In WT hearts, IPC significantly improved the recovery of the maximum first derivative of developed pressure (+dP/d tmax) compared with that in hearts without IPC. IPC more effectively improved end-reperfusion dP/d tmax in WT hearts compared with KO hearts. Preconditioned and nonpreconditioned KO hearts exhibited increased phosphorylated STAT-5 and -6 expression compared with WT hearts. The increased subtype activation did not improve the efficacy of IPC in KO hearts. In conclusion, baseline cardiac performance is preserved in hearts with cardiac-restricted STAT-3 deletion. STAT-3 deletion attenuates preconditioning and is not associated with a compensatory upregulation of STAT-5 and -6 subtypes. The activation of STAT-5 and -6 in KO hearts following ischemic challenge does not provide functional compensation for the loss of STAT-3. JAK-STAT signaling via STAT-3 is essential for effective IPC.

Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) by ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) renders resistance to the kidney. Strong IPC triggers kidney fibrosis, which is involved in angiotensin II (AngII) and its type 1 receptor (AT1R) signaling. Here, we investigated the role of AngII/AT1R signal pathway in the resistance of IPC kidneys to subsequent I/R injury. IPC of kidneys was generated by 30 minutes of bilateral renal ischemia and 8 days of reperfusion. Sham-operation was performed to generate control (non-IPC) mice. To examine the roles of AngII and AT1R in IPC kidneys to subsequent I/R, IPC kidneys were subjected to either 30 minutes of bilateral kidney ischemia or sham-operation following treatment with AngII, losartan (AT1R blocker), or AngII plus losartan. IPC kidneys showed fibrotic changes, decreased AngII, and increased AT1R expression. I/R dramatically increased plasma creatinine concentrations in non-IPC mice, but not in IPC mice. AngII treatment in IPC mice resulted in enhanced morphological damage, oxidative stress, and inflammatory responses, with functional impairment, whereas losartan treatment reversed these effects. However, AngII treatment in non-IPC mice did not change I/R-induced injury. AngII abolished the resistance of IPC kidneys to subsequent I/R via the enhancement of oxidative stress and inflammatory responses, suggesting that the AngII/AT1R signaling pathway is associated with outcome in injury-experienced kidney.
