Extracellular ATP is known to augment cardiac contractility by increasing intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in cardiomyocytes; however, the status of ATP-mediated Ca2+ mobilization in hearts undergoing ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) has not been examined previously. In this study, therefore, isolated rat hearts were subjected to 10–30 min of global ischemia and 30 min of reperfusion, and the effect of extracellular ATP on [Ca2+]i was measured in purified cardiomyocytes by fura-2 microfluorometry. Reperfusion for 30 min of 20-min ischemic hearts, unlike 10-min ischemic hearts, revealed a partial depression in cardiac function and ATP-induced increase in [Ca2+]i; no changes in basal [Ca2+]i were evident in 10- or 20-min I/R preparations. On the other hand, reperfusion of 30-min ischemic hearts for 5, 15, or 30 min showed a marked depression in both cardiac function and ATP-induced increase in [Ca2+]i and a dramatic increase in basal [Ca2+]i. The positive inotropic effect of extracellular ATP was attenuated, and the maximal binding characteristics of 35S-labeled adenosine 5′-[γ-thio]triphosphate with crude membranes from hearts undergoing I/R was decreased. ATP-induced increase in [Ca2+]i in cardiomyocytes was depressed by verapamil and Cibacron Blue in both control and I/R hearts; however, this response in I/R hearts, unlike control hearts, was not affected by ryanodine. I/R-induced alterations in cardiac function and ATP-induced increase in [Ca2+]i were attenuated by treatment with an antioxidant mixture and by ischemic preconditioning. The observed changes due to I/R were simulated in hearts perfused with H2O2. The results suggest an impairment of extracellular ATP-induced Ca2+ mobilization in I/R hearts, and this defect appears to be mediated through oxidative stress.

Alamandine, a biologically active peptide of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), was recently described and characterized. Further it has been shown to present effects similar to those elicited by Ang-(1-7). It has been described that Ang-(1-7) decreases the incidence and duration of ischemia-reperfusion arrhythmias and improved the post-ischemic function in isolated perfused rat hearts. In this study we aimed to evaluate the effects of Alamandine in isolated rat hearts subjected to myocardial infarction (MI). Wistar rats weighing between 250-300g were euthanized and their hearts were placed on Langendorff apparatus to evaluate the cardiac parameters. Hearts were submitted to 30min of stabilization, 30min of partial ischemia by occlusion of the left descending coronary artery and 30min of reperfusion. Drugs (alamandine 22pM, d-pro7-ang-(1-7) 220pM) were added to the perfusion setting from the beginning of the experiment until the end. 2,3,5-trypheniltetrazolium chloride were used to evaluate the extension of infarcted area. In control hearts (CON), there was a decrease on the left ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP) on ischemic period (54,6 ± 6,9mmHg) compared to the baseline period (84,6 ± 11,6mmHg). Alamandine (ALA) attenuated that decrease in the ischemic period (66,9 ± 7,9mmHg) vs (82,3 ± 8,9mmHg). Further, ischemia led to a decrease in the left ventricular developed pressure (dLVP), dP/dt maximum and minimum when compared to baseline values. ALA, once more, kept the ischemic parameters of dLVP and dP/dt max and min (58,9 ± 8mmHg; 1629 ± 202,2mmHg/s; 1101 ± 130mmHg/s, respectively) similar to those of baseline period (68,9 ± 8,92; 1682 ± 248,8; 1179 ± 118,6 mmHg, respectively). Ischemia/reperfusion induced an arrhythmia severity index (ASI) in control hearts (4,9 ± 1,26) higher than in hearts treated with ALA (1,10 ± 0,58). ALA also reduced infarcted area (19,64 ± 2,61%) compared with CON (33,85 ± 4,55%). All those effects were blocked by D-PRO7-Ang-(1-7). In conclusion, our data shown that Alamandine exert cardioprotective effects in post-ischemic function in isolated rat hearts by preventing LVSP, dLVP , dP/dt max and min decrease. Furthermore it reduced the infarcted area and I/R arrhythmias, apparently involving MrgD receptor participation.

Abstract Background: Anesthetic cardioprotection reduces myocardial infarct size after ischemia–reperfusion injury. Currently, the role of microRNA in this process remains unknown. MicroRNAs are short, noncoding nucleotide sequences that negatively regulate gene expression through degradation or suppression of messenger RNA. In this study, the authors uncovered the functional role of microRNA-21 (miR-21) up-regulation after anesthetic exposure. Methods: MicroRNA and messenger RNA expression changes were analyzed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction in cardiomyocytes after exposure to isoflurane. Lactate dehydrogenase release assay and propidium iodide staining were conducted after inhibition of miR-21. miR-21 target expression was analyzed by Western blot. The functional role of miR-21 was confirmed in vivo in both wild-type and miR-21 knockout mice. Results: Isoflurane induces an acute up-regulation of miR-21 in both in vivo and in vitro rat models (n = 6, 247.8 ± 27.5% and 258.5 ± 9.0%), which mediates protection to cardiomyocytes through down-regulation of programmed cell death protein 4 messenger RNA (n = 3, 82.0 ± 4.9% of control group). This protective effect was confirmed by knockdown of miR-21 and programmed cell death protein 4 in vitro. In addition, the protective effect of isoflurane was abolished in miR-21 knockout mice in vivo, with no significant decrease in infarct size compared with nonexposed controls (n = 8, 62.3 ± 4.6% and 56.2 ± 3.2%). Conclusions: The authors demonstrate for the first time that isoflurane mediates protection of cardiomyocytes against oxidative stress via an miR-21/programmed cell death protein 4 pathway. These results reveal a novel mechanism by which the damage done by ischemia/reperfusion injury may be decreased.
