We tested whether mitochondrial or sarcolemmal ATP-sensitive K+(KATP) channels play a key role in ischemic preconditioning (IP) in canine hearts. In open-chest beagle dogs, the left anterior descending artery was occluded four times for 5 min each with 5-min intervals of reperfusion (IP), occluded for 90 min, and reperfused for 6 h. IP as well as cromakalim and nicorandil (nonspecific KATP channel openers) markedly limited infarct size (6.3 ± 1.2, 8.9 ± 1.9, and 7.2 ± 1.6%, respectively) compared with the control group (40.9 ± 4.1%). A selective mitochondrial KATP channel blocker, 5-hydroxydecanoate, partially blunted the limitation of infarct size in the animals subjected to IP and those treated with cromakalim and nicorandil (21.6 ± 3.8, 25.1 ± 4.6, and 19.8 ± 5.2%, respectively). A nonspecific KATP channel blocker, glibenclamide, completely abolished the effect of IP (38.5 ± 6.2%). Intracoronary or intravenous administration of a mitochondria-selective KATP channel opener, diazoxide, at >100 μmol/l could only partially decrease infarct size (19.5 ± 4.3 and 20.1 ± 4.4%, respectively). In conclusion, mitochondrial and sarcolemmal KATP channels independently play an important role in the limitation of infarct size by IP in the canine heart.

We examined the anti-infarct effect of ischemic preconditioning in the rat heart. All hearts were subjected to 30 min of regional coronary ischemia and 2 h of reperfusion. Infarct size was determined by tetrazolium. The control group had an average infarct size of 31% of the risk zone. Three 5-min cycles of preconditioning ischemia limited the infarct size to 3.7%. Neither the adenosine receptor blocker PD 115,199 nor the ATP-sensitive potassium channel blocker, glibenclamide, could block this protection. Intracoronary adenosine A1-receptor agonist 2-chloro-N6-cyclopentyladenosine offered a significant anti-infarct protection to the isolated rat heart, however. Although one 5-min cycle of preconditioning did not protect the rat heart from infarction (31% infarction in risk zone), it did attenuate arrhythmias. We conclude that 1) the rat heart can be preconditioned, which argues against mitochondrial adenosinetriphosphatase being the mechanism of preconditioning; 2) the threshold for preconditioning is higher in rat than rabbit or dog; 3) a role for adenosine in preconditioning was only partially supported; and 4) a role for ATP-sensitive potassium channels was not supported.

Adenosine-enhanced ischemic preconditioning (APC) extends the protection afforded by ischemic preconditioning (IPC) by both significantly decreasing infarct size and significantly enhancing postischemic functional recovery. The purpose of this study was to determine whether APC is modulated by ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels and to determine whether this modulation occurs before ischemia or during reperfusion. The role of KATP channels before ischemia (I), during reperfusion (R), or during ischemia and reperfusion (IR) was investigated using the nonspecific KATP blocker glibenclamide (Glb), the mitochondrial (mito) KATP channel blocker 5-hydroxydecanoate (5-HD), and the sarcolemmal (sarc) KATPchannel blocker HMR-1883 (HMR). Infarct size was significantly increased ( P < 0.05) in APC hearts with Glb-I, Glb-R, and 5-HD-I treatment and partially with 5-HD-R. Glb-I and Glb-R treatment significantly decreased APC functional recovery ( P < 0.05 vs. APC), whereas 5-HD-I and 5-HD-R had no effect on APC functional recovery. HMR-IR significantly decreased postischemic functional recovery ( P < 0.05 vs. APC) but had no effect on infarct size. These data indicate that APC infarct size reduction is modulated by mitoKATP channels primarily during ischemia and suggest that functional recovery is modulated by sarcKATP channels during ischemia and reperfusion.

We tested the hypothesis that the opening of ATP-sensitive K+ channels contributes to activation of ectosolic 5'-nucleotidase and the infarct size-limiting effect of ischemic preconditioning. In open-chest dogs, the left anterior descending coronary artery was occluded four times for 5 min each, separated by a 5-min period of reperfusion (ischemic preconditioning, n = 8). After this procedure, the coronary artery was occluded for 90 min, followed by 6 h of reperfusion. Infarct size was smaller in this group than in the group (control, n = 8) with a 45 min interval instead of the ischemic preconditioning procedure (40.1 +/- 3.9 vs. 6.4 +/- 1.9%). Glibenclamide blunted the infarct size-limiting effect of ischemic preconditioning (infarct size, 37.3 +/- 5.8%; n = 7), and transient exposures to cromakalim and nicorandil mimicked it [infarct size, 10.1 +/- 3.1 (n = 7) and 11.1 +/- 2.7% (n = 8), respectively]. Ectosolic and cytosolic 5'-nucleotidase activity increased in the ischemic preconditioning group compared with that in the control group; this preconditioning-induced increase in 5'-nucleotidase activity was blunted by glibenclamide (n = 5) and mimicked by cromakalim (n = 5) and nicorandil (n = 5). The infarct size-limiting effect due to cromakalim and nicorandil was blunted by alpha,beta-methyleneadenosine 5'-diphosphate, an inhibitor of ectosolic 5'-nucleotidase [infarct size, 37.7 +/- 5.6 (n = 9) and 36.8 +/- 4.8% (n = 7), respectively] and 8-sulfophenyltheophylline (infarct size with cromakalim, 44.7 +/- 4.6%; n = 7). We conclude that activation of ectosolic 5'-nucleotidase due to the openers of ATP-sensitive K+ channels contributes to the infarct size- limiting effect of ischemic preconditioning.

Mitochondrial Katp Channel

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 A1adenosine receptors (A1AR) in ischemic preconditioning was investigated in isolated crystalloid-perfused wild-type and transgenic mouse hearts with increased A1AR. The effect of preconditioning on postischemic myocardial function, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release, and infarct size was examined. Functional recovery was greater in transgenic versus wild-type hearts (44.8 ± 3.4% baseline vs. 25.6 ± 1.7%). Preconditioning improved functional recovery in wild-type hearts from 25.6 ± 1.7% to 37.4 ± 2.2% but did not change recovery in transgenic hearts (44.8 ± 3.4% vs. 44.5 ± 3.9%). In isovolumically contracting hearts, pretreatment with selective A1 receptor antagonist 1,3-dipropyl-8-cyclopentylxanthine attenuated the improved functional recovery in both wild-type preconditioned (74.2 ± 7.3% baseline rate of pressure development over time untreated vs. 29.7 ± 7.3% treated) and transgenic hearts (84.1 ± 12.8% untreated vs. 42.1 ± 6.8% treated). Preconditioning wild-type hearts reduced LDH release (from 7,012 ± 1,451 to 1,691 ± 1,256 U · l−1 · g−1 · min−1) and infarct size (from 62.6 ± 5.1% to 32.3 ± 11.5%). Preconditioning did not affect LDH release or infarct size in hearts overexpressing A1AR. Compared with wild-type hearts, A1AR overexpression markedly reduced LDH release (from 7,012 ± 1,451 to 917 ± 1,123 U · l−1 · g−1 · min−1) and infarct size (from 62.6 ± 5.1% to 6.5 ± 2.1%). These data demonstrate that murine preconditioning involves endogenous activation of A1AR. The beneficial effects of preconditioning and A1AR overexpression are not additive. Taken with the observation that A1AR blockade equally eliminates the functional protection resulting from both preconditioning and transgenic A1AR overexpression, we conclude that the two interventions affect cardioprotection via common mechanisms or pathways.

Two series of experiments were performed in the isolated perfused rat heart to determine the role of κ- and δ-opioid receptors (OR) in cardioprotection of ischemic preconditioning (IP). In the first series of experiments, it was found that IP with two cycles of 5-min regional ischemia followed by 5-min reperfusion each reduced infarct size induced by 30-min ischemia, and the ameliorating effect of IP on infarct was attenuated with blockade of either 5 × 10−6 mol/l nor-binaltorphimine (nor-BNI), a selective κ-OR antagonist, or 5 × 10−6 mol/l naltrindole (NTD), a selective δ-OR antagonist. The second series showed that U50,488H, a selective κ-OR agonist, ord-Ala2-d-leu5-enkephalin (DADLE), a selective δ-OR agonist, dose dependently reduced the infarct size induced by ischemia, which mimicked the effects of IP. The effect of 10−5 mol/l U50,488H on infarct was significantly attenuated by blockade of protein kinase C (PKC) with specific PKC inhibitors, 5 × 10−6 mol/l chelerythrine or 8 × 10−7 mol/l calphostin C, as well as by blockade of ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) channels with blockers of the channel, 10−5 mol/l glibenclamide or 10−4 mol/l 5-hydroxydecanoate. IP also reduced arrhythmia induced by ischemia. Nor-BNI, but not NTD, attenuated, while U50,488H, but not DADLE, mimicked the antiarrhythmic action of IP. In conclusion, the present study has provided first evidence that κ-OR mediates the ameliorating effects of IP on infarct and arrhythmia induced by ischemia, whereas δ-OR mediates the effects only on infarct. Both PKC and KATP channels mediate the effect of activation of κ-OR on infarct.

We examined whether ischemic preconditioning (IPC) attenuates ischemia-reperfusion injury, in part, by decreasing apoptosis and whether the δ-opioid receptor (DOR) plays a pivotal role in the regulation of apoptosis. Rabbits were subjected to 30-min coronary artery occlusion (CAO) and 180 min of reperfusion. IPC was elicited with four cycles of 5-min ischemia and 10-min reperfusion before CAO. Morphine (0.3 mg/kg iv) was given 15 min before CAO. Naloxone (Nal; 10 mg/kg iv) and naltrindole (Nti; 10 mg/kg iv), the respective nonselective and selective DOR antagonists were given 10 min before either morphine or IPC. Infarct size (%risk area) was reduced from 46 ± 3.8 in control to 11.6 ± 1.0 in IPC and 19.5 ± 3.8 in the morphine group (means ± SE; P < 0.001 vs. control). Nal blocked the protective effects of IPC and morphine, as shown by the increase in infarct size to 38.6 ± 7.2 and 44.5 ± 1.8, respectively. Similarly, Nti blocked IPC and morphine-induced protection. The percentage of apoptotic cells (revealed by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling assay) decreased in IPC (3.6 ± 1.9) and morphine groups (5.2 ± 1.2) compared with control group (12.4 ± 1.6; P < 0.001). Nti pretreatment increased apoptotic cells 11.2 ± 2.2% in IPC and 12.1 ± 0.8% in morphine groups. Nal failed to block inhibition of apoptosis in the IPC group (% of cells: 5.7 ± 1.3 vs. 3.6 ± 1.9 in IPC alone; P > 0.05). These results were also confirmed by nucleosomal DNA laddering pattern. We conclude that IPC reduces lethal injury, in part, by decreasing apoptosis after ischemia-reperfusion and activation of the DOR may play a crucial role in IPC or morphine-induced myocardial protection.

Results from numerous studies have shown that there is an important link between adenosine A1 receptors and ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels in mediating the cardioprotective effects of ischemic preconditioning (PC). The major aim of the present study was to determine whether occupation of A1 receptors and/or the opening of KATP channels is involved in the time delay between the PC stimulus and the prolonged ischemic insult or the “memory” of PC to reduce infarct size. Barbital sodium-anesthetized dogs were subjected to 1 h of left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) occlusion followed by 4 h of reperfusion. Ischemic PC was elicited by 10 min of LAD occlusion followed by 1 h of reperfusion (1-h memory) before the 1-h occlusion period. Either adenosine (800 g/min), bimakalim (3 g/min), a combination of two lower doses of each agent (400 g/min of adenosine and 0.3 g/min of bimakalim), or an equivalent volume of saline was infused into the LAD for 10 min followed by a 1-h drug-free period before the 1-h ischemic insult. In another series, glibenclamide, 8-cyclopentyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine (a selective A1-receptor blocker), or PD-115199 (a nonselective adenosine-receptor antagonist) was administered 50 min after ischemic PC (10 min before the 1-h occlusion period). Infarct size (IS) was expressed as a percentage of the area at risk. PC with 1 h of reperfusion resulted in a marked reduction in IS (8.1 +/- 6.5 vs. 29.8 +/- 5.8% in control dogs). Administration of adenosine or bimakalim followed by a 1-h drug-free period had no effect on IS; however, the simultaneous administration of adenosine and bimakalim resulted in a marked decrease in IS (11.5 +/- 2.7%). One hour after ischemic PC, administration of glibenclamide blocked the protective effect of ischemic PC, whereas 8-cyclopentyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine or PD-115199 did not affect it. These results provide evidence that the opening of myocardial KATP channels may play an important role in the memory of ischemic PC in the canine heart and also suggest that adenosine and the KATP channel may have a synergistic interaction that is important for the memory phase of PC.

This study tests the hypothesis that a 2-4 degrees C reduction in myocardial temperature, obtained by using topical regional hypothermia (TRH), reduces infarct size. Anesthetized rabbits received coronary artery occlusion and reperfusion. We cooled hearts in the TRH group by applying an ice bag directly over the risk zone; the control group received no intervention. Risk zone myocardial temperature (MT) in the TRH group was reduced at occlusion by 2 degrees C from baseline and after 5 min of occlusion by 3.6 degrees C. In the control group, MT in the risk region remained within 0.3 degree C of baseline. The ischemic area was similar in both groups, yet infarct size in the TRH group was reduced by an average of 65% compared with the control group. Infarct size closely correlated with MT in the risk region at the time of occlusion. In a second protocol in which all hearts were paced, infarct size was 21% of the risk region in TRH hearts compared with 44% in controls. These results strongly support the important role of MT in the progression of necrosis and demonstrate that the application of local cooling to the risk region profoundly reduces myocardial infarct size.
