: There is considerable evidence in the heart that autophagy in cardiomyocytes is activated by hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) or in hearts by ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). Depending upon the experimental model and duration of ischemia, increases in autophagy in this setting maybe beneficial (cardioprotective) or deleterious (exacerbate I/R injury). Aside from the conundrum as to whether or not autophagy is an adaptive process, it is clearly regulated by a number of diverse molecules including reactive oxygen species (ROS), various kinases, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and nitric oxide (NO). The purpose this review is to address briefly the controversy regarding the role of autophagy in this setting and to examine a variety of disparate molecules that are involved in its regulation.

Exercise promotes cardioprotection in both humans and animals not only by reducing risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease but by reducing myocardial infarction and improving survival following ischemia. This article will define the role that nitric oxide and β-adrenergic receptors play in mediating the cardioprotective effects of exercise in the setting of ischemia-reperfusion injury.

The overall objective of this study was to assess the contribution of an altered bioavailability of nitric oxide (NO) to the leukocyte adhesion and hypoxic stress elicited in the liver by gut ischemia-reperfusion (I/R). The accumulation of leukocytes, number of nonperfused sinusoids (NPS), and NADH autofluorescence were monitored (by intravital microscopy) in mouse liver after 15 min of superior mesenteric artery occlusion and 60 min of reperfusion. Leukostasis, NPS, and NADH autofluorescence (indicating hypoxia) were all increased in the liver at 60 min after gut I/R. The NO synthase inhibitor N G-monomethyl-l-arginine (l-NMMA) exaggerated the liver leukostasis elicited by gut I/R, responses that were prevented by coadministration of l-arginine. The NO donor diethylenetriamine-NO (DETA-NO) andl-arginine were both effective in attenuating the gut I/R-induced leukostasis and increased NADH autofluorescence, whereas neither DETA nord-arginine exerted a protective action. These findings indicate that NO is an important determinant of the liver leukostasis, impaired sinusoidal perfusion, and tissue hypoxia elicited by gut I/R.

We previously observed that endothelin-1 (ET-1)-induced gastric vasoconstriction is enhanced after ischemia-reperfusion. The purpose of our present study was to examine the role of nitric oxide in regulating ET-1-induced vasoconstriction under normal conditions and after ischemia-reperfusion. Using a mechanically perfused stomach segment from chloralose-anesthetized dogs, we examined 1) responses to NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) alone and in combination with L-arginine, 2) whether L-NAME affects ET-1-induced vasoconstriction under normal conditions and after ischemia-reperfusion, and 3) if spermine NONOate inverted question mark1,3-propanediamine-N-[4-1-(3-aminopropyl)-2-hydroxy-2-nitrosohydrazi no] butyl; a nitric oxide donor inverted question mark attenuates the augmented response to ET-1 after ischemia-reperfusion. Our results show that 1) L-NAME significantly increased baseline vascular resistance and this response was reduced by L-arginine, 2) ET-1-induced vasoconstriction was enhanced by L-NAME, and 3) administration of spermine NONOate during reperfusion largely attenuated the vasoconstrictor response to ET-1 after ischemia-reperfusion. Our findings are consistent with the hypothesis that nitric oxide modulates responses to ET-1 under normal conditions, and loss of this vasodilator after ischemia-reperfusion results in an augmented response to ET-1.
