Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO) are implicated in induction of ischemic preconditioning. However, the relationship between these oxidant signals and opening of the mitochondrial ATP-dependent potassium (KATP) channel during early preconditioning is not fully understood. We observed preconditioning protection by hypoxia, exogenous H2O2, or PKC activator PMA in cardiomyocytes subjected to 1-h ischemia and 3-h reperfusion. Protection was abolished by KATP channel blocker 5-hydroxydecanoate (5-HD) in each case, indicating that these triggers must act upstream from the KATP channel. Inhibitors of NO synthase abolished protection in preconditioned cells, suggesting that NO is also required for protection. DAF-2 fluorescence (NO sensitive) increased during hypoxic triggering. This was amplified by pinacidil and inhibited by 5-HD, indicating that NO is generated subsequent to KATP channel activation. Exogenous NO during the triggering phase conferred protection blocked by 5-HD. Exogenous NO also restored protection abolished by 5-HD or N ω-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester in preconditioned cells. Antioxidants given during pinacidil or NO triggering abolished protection, confirming that ROS are generated by KATP channel activation. Coadministration of H2O2 and NO restored PMA-induced protection in 5-HD-treated cells, indicating that ROS and NO are required downstream from the KATP channel. We conclude that ROS can trigger preconditioning by causing activation of the KATP channel, which then induces generation of ROS and NO that are both required for preconditioning protection.

Introduction: Pharmacologic induction of metabolic tolerance to spinal cord ischemia-reperfusion injury (SCI) after thoracoabdominal aortic intervention is not well established. We previously demonstrated that nicorandil pretreatment preserved motor function in a murine SCI model via direct mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channel activation and nitric oxide (NO) donation. However, the independent role of NO-mediated neuroprotection has not been elucidated. Hypothesis: Nitroglycerin pretreatment will induce neuroprotection through NO-mediated KATP channel activation. Methods: SCI was induced by 7 minutes of thoracic aortic cross-clamping in adult male C57BL/6 mice. Pretreatment constituted intraperitoneal injection 3 consecutive days before injury. Experimental groups: sham (no pretreatment or ischemia, n=10), SCI control (normal saline, n=20), nitroglycerin 1 mg/kg (n=18), nitroglycerin 1 mg/kg + 5-hydroxydecanonate 5 mg/kg (5HD, mitochondrial KATP channel blocker, n=13), 5HD 5 mg/kg (n=10), nitroglycerin 1 mg/kg + carboxy-PTIO (cPTIO) 1 mg/kg (NO scavenger, n=16), and cPTIO 1 mg/kg (n=10). Limb motor function and the number of viable neurons within the anterior horn of the spinal cord were evaluated. Results: Compared to SCI control, motor function was significantly preserved in the nitroglycerin pretreatment group at every time point after ischemia. In the nitroglycerin+5HD and nitroglycerin+cPTIO groups, motor preservation was significantly attenuated compared to nitroglycerin pretreatment (p<0.001). Histological analysis showed significant neuron preservation in the nitroglycerin pretreatment group compared with SCI control (p=0.011). This preservation was completely attenuated with 5HD or cPTIO co-administration (p=0.001). Conclusions: Nitroglycerin pretreatment significantly preserved motor function in a murine SCI model through NO-mediated KATP channel activation.

In previous reports from this study, measurements of pulmonary inflammation, bronchoalveolar lavage cell cytokine production and nuclear factor-κB activation, cytotoxic damage, and fibrosis were detailed. In this study, we investigated the temporal relationship between silica inhalation, nitric oxide (NO), and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and damage mediated by these radicals in the rat. Rats were exposed to a silica aerosol (15 mg/m3silica, 6 h/day, 5 days/wk) for 116 days. We report time-dependent changes in 1) activation of alveolar macrophages and concomitant production of NO and ROS, 2) immunohistochemical localization of inducible NO synthase and the NO-induced damage product nitrotyrosine, 3) bronchoalveolar lavage fluid NOxand superoxide dismutase concentrations, and 4) lung lipid peroxidation levels. The major observations made in this study are as follows: 1) NO and ROS production and resultant damage increased during silica exposure, and 2) the sites of inducible NO synthase activation and NO-mediated damage are associated anatomically with pathological lesions in the lungs.


The eff ect of the non-opiate analog of leu-enkephalin (peptide NALE: Phe – D – Ala – Gly – Phe – Leu – Arg) on the reactive oxygen species generation in the heart of albino rats in the early postnatal period was studied. Peptide NALE was administered intraperitoneally in the dose of 100 μ/kg daily from 2 to 6 days of life. Reactive oxygen species generation was assessed by chemiluminescence in the heart homogenates of 7-day-old animals. Decreasing of reactive oxygen species generation nearly by 30 % and an increasing in antioxidant system activity by the 20-27 %, compared with the control parameters, were found. The antioxidant eff ect of peptide NALE is associated with the presence of the amino acid Arg in the structure of the peptide. An analogue of NALE peptide, devoid of Arg (peptide Phe – D – Ala – Gly – Phe – Leu – Gly), had a signifi cant lower antioxidant eff ect. The NO-synthase inhibitor NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) in the dose 50 mg/kg, administered with NALE peptide, reduced the severity of the NALE antioxidant eff ect. The results of the study suggest that the pronounced antioxidant eff ect of NALE peptide in the heart of albino rats, at least in part, is due to the interaction with the nitric oxide system.

: Mitochondria are potent source of cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and are vulnerable to oxidative damage. Mitochondria dysfunction could result in adenosine triphosphate (ATP) decrease and cell death. The kidney is an ATPconsuming organ, and the relationship between mitochondrial dysfunction and renal disease has been long noted. Mitochondrial targeting is a novel strategy for kidney diseases. At present, there are several ways to target mitochondria such as the addition of a triphenylphosphonium cation, mitochondria-targeted peptides, and nanocarrier. There are also a variety of choices for the payload, such as nitroxides, quinone derivates, vitamins and so on. This review summarized chemical and also clinical characteristics of various mitochondria-targeted antioxidants and focused on their application and perspectives in kidney diseases.

: 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.
