Background: Mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) opening plays a crucial role in cell death during ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). Cyclosporine A (CsA) inhibits mPTP opening. This study aimed to investigate the effects of CsA treatment during cardioplegia on the mitochondrial function and cardiac IRI. Methods: Landrace pigs (52.9 ± 3.7 kg) were subjected to midline sternotomy, cardiopulmonary bypass at 34°C and 90 minutes of cardiac arrest. They received either a single shot of standard 4°C cold histidine-tryptophan-α-ketoglutarate (HTK)-Bretschneider solution ( n = 11) or HTK-Bretschneider plus 1.2 mg/L CsA (histidine-tryptophan-α-ketoglutarate plus cyclosporine A (HTK/CsA); n = 11). During reperfusion global left-ventricular function was assessed and myocardial biopsies were harvested at baseline, during ischemia and 45 minutes following reperfusion. High-resolution respirometry and hydrogen peroxide production were measured. Immunohistochemical stainings for apoptosis-inducing factor and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α as well as a flow cytometry-based JC-1 mitochondrial membrane potential assay were performed. Results: Hemodynamic parameters were comparable between both groups. The cytochrome C release (HTK: 930.3 ± 804.4 pg/mg, HTK/CsA: 699.7 ± 394.0 pg/mg, p = 0.457) as well as PGC1α content (HTK: 66.7%, HTK/CsA: 33.3%, p = 0.284) was lower in the HTK/CsA group. Respiratory measurements revealed that the oxygen flux under basal respiration was higher in the HTK/CsA group (8.2 ± 1.3 pmol·O2·s−1·mg−1·ww) than in the HTK group (3.8 ± 1.4 pmol·O2·s−1·mg−1·ww, p = 0.045). There were no significant differences regarding histological surrogates of apoptosis and necrosis. Conclusions: Supplementing cardioplegic solutions with CsA enhances the basal mitochondrial respiration thereby exerting a cardioprotective effect and diminishing IRI-induced damage. CsA seems to preserve mitochondrial function via non-ROS related pathways.

Melatonin, a well-known antioxidant, has been shown to protect against ischemia-reperfusion myocardial damage. Mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) opening is an important event in cardiomyocyte cell death occurring during ischemia-reperfusion and therefore a possible target for cardioprotection. In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that melatonin could protect heart against ischemia-reperfusion injury by inhibiting MPTP opening. Isolated perfused rat hearts were subjected to global ischemia and reperfusion in the presence or absence of melatonin in a Langerdoff apparatus. Melatonin treatment significantly improves the functional recovery of Langerdoff hearts on reperfusion, reduces the infarct size, and decreases necrotic damage as shown by the reduced release of lactate dehydrogenase. Mitochondria isolated from melatonin-treated hearts are less sensitive than mitochondria from reperfused hearts to MPTP opening as demonstrated by their higher resistance to Ca2+. Similar results were obtained following treatment of ischemic-reperfused rat heart with cyclosporine A, a known inhibitor of MPTP opening. In addition, melatonin prevents mitochondrial NAD+ release and mitochondrial cytochrome c release and, as previously shown, cardiolipin oxidation associated with ischemia-reperfusion. Together, these results demonstrate that melatonin protects heart from reperfusion injury by inhibiting MPTP opening, probably via prevention of cardiolipin peroxidation.

Abstract Background Our previous study has demonstrated that morphine post-conditioning (MpostC) protects cardiomyocytes from ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury partly through activating protein kinase-epsilon (PKCε) signaling pathway and subsequently inhibiting mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) opening. Aim In this study, we aim to investigate the relationship between long non-coding RNA TINCR and PKCε in cardiomyocytes under MpostC-treated I/R injury. Design The myocardial I/R rat model was established by the ligation of lower anterior descending coronary artery for 45 min followed by the reperfusion for 1 h, and MpostC was performed before the reperfusion. Method H/R and MpostC were performed in the rat cardiomyocyte cell line (H9C2), and the Cytochrome-c release in cytosol and mPTP opening were determined. Cell viability was detected by using Cell Counting Kit-8, and cell apoptosis was determined by using flow cytometry or TUNEL assay. Results The results indicated that MpostC restored the expression of TINCR in I/R rat myocardial tissues. In cardiomyocytes, the therapeutic effect of MpostC, including reduced mPTP opening, reduced Cytochrome-c expression, increased cell viability and reduced cell apoptosis, was dramatically negated by interfering TINCR. The expression of fibroblast growth factor 1 (FGF1), a protein that activates PKCε signaling pathway, was positively correlated with TINCR. The RNA immunoprecipitation and RNA pull-down assay further confirmed the binding between FGF1 and TINCR. Furthermore, TINCR was demonstrated to inhibit the degradation and ubiquitination of FGF1 in cardiomyocytes using the cycloheximide experiment and the ubiquitination assay. The TINCR/FGF1/PKCε axis was revealed to mediate the protective effect of MpostC against hypoxia/reoxygenation injury both in vitro and in vivo. Conclusion In conclusion, our findings demonstrated that MpostC-induced up-regulation of TINCR protects cardiomyocytes from I/R injury via inhibiting degradation and ubiquitination of FGF1, and subsequently activating PKCε signaling pathway, which provides a novel insight in the mechanism of TINCR and PKCε during MpostC treatment of I/R injury.

Abstract Background Acute myocardial injury (AMI), which is induced by renal ischemia-reperfusion (IR), is a significant cause of acute kidney injury (AKI)-related associated death. Obesity increases the severity and frequency of AMI and AKI. Tanshinone IIA (TIIA) combined with cyclosporine A (CsA) pretreatment was used to alleviate myocardial cell apoptosis induced by renal IR, and to determine whether TIIA combined with CsA would attenuate myocardial cell apoptosis by modulating mitochondrial function through the PI3K/Akt/Bad pathway in obese rats. Methods Male rates were fed a high fat diet for 8 weeks to generate obesity. AKI was induced by 30 min of kidney ischemia followed 24 h of reperfusion. Obese rats were given TIIA (10 mg/kg·d) for 2 weeks and CsA (5 mg/kg) 30 min before renal IR. After 24 h of reperfusion, the rats were anaesthetized, the blood were fetched from the abdominal aorta and kidney were fetched from abdominal cavity, then related indicators were examined. Results TIIA combined with CsA can alleviate the pathohistological injury and apoptosis induced by renal IR in myocardial cells. TIIA combined with CsA improved cardiac function after renal ischemia (30 min)-reperfusion (24 h) in obese rats. At the same time, TIIA combined with CsA improved mitochondrial function. Abnormal function of mitochondria was supported by decreases in respiration controlling rate (RCR), intracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP), oxygen consumption rate, and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), and increases in mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS), opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP), mitochondrial DNA damage, and mitochondrial respiratory chain complex enzymes. The injury of mitochondrial dynamic function was assessed by decrease in dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1), and increases in mitofusin1/2 (Mfn1/2), and mitochondrial biogenesis injury was assessed by decreases in PPARγ coactivator-1-α (PGC-1), nucleo respiratory factor1 (Nrf1), and transcription factor A of mitochondrial (TFam). Conclusion We used isolated mitochondria from rat myocardial tissues to demonstrate that myocardial mitochondrial dysfunction occurred along with renal IR to induce myocardial cell apoptosis; obesity aggravated apoptosis. TIIA combined with CsA attenuated myocardial cell apoptosis by modulating mitochondrial function through the PI3K/Akt/Bad pathway in obese rats.

Excessive Ca 2+ accumulation is the main source of cardiac tissue and cell death during myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (IR injury) and myocardial infarction. Calcium dysregulation and overload leads to mitochondrial dysfunction, excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, catastrophic energy failure, and opening of the cyclosporine A-sensitive mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP). Mitochondrial Ca 2+ accumulation also results in the formation of amorphous Ca 2+ -phosphate granules localized in the mitochondrial matrix. These amorphous electron-dense granules are main components of the mitochondrial Ca 2+ sequestration and buffering system by mechanisms not yet well understood. The two aims of the present study are to test the relationship of Ca 2+ -phosphate granule size and number in cardiac mitochondria 1) exposed to a bolus calcium sufficient to elicit permeabilization and 2) whether CsA-treated mitochondria alters granule formation and size. A time course series of CryoEM images was analyzed to follow the permeabilization process. CryoEM results showed that mitochondrial incubated for longer time-courses have increased number of small granules (40 - 110 nm), swelling, membrane rupture and induction of mPTP opening. Conversely, shorter incubation time resulted in less granules per mitochondrion yet of similar size (35 - 90 nm). CsA- treated mitochondria, on the other hand, showed bigger phosphate granules (120 - 160 nm), and both lower granules per mitochondria and mPTP opening susceptibility. These results suggest a novel mechanism for CsA in which Ca 2+ -phosphate granule sizes are enhanced while maintaining fewer per mitochondrion. This effect may explain why CsA-treated mitochondria have higher calcium tolerance, delayed Ca 2+ -dependent opening of the mPTP, and protects against reperfusion-induced myocardial necrosis.

Altered cardiac mitochondrial dynamics with excessive fission is a predominant cause of cardiac dysfunction during ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Although pre-ischemic inhibition of mitochondrial fission has been shown to improve cardiac function in I/R injury, the effects of this inhibitor given at different time-points during cardiac I/R injury are unknown. Fifty male Wistar rats were subjected to sham and cardiac I/R injury. For cardiac I/R injury, rats were randomly divided into pre-ischemia, during-ischemia, and upon onset of reperfusion group. A mitochondrial fission inhibitor, Mdivi-1 (mitochondrial division inhibitor 1) (1.2 mg/kg) was used. During I/R protocols, the left ventricular (LV) function, arrhythmia score, and mortality rate were determined. Then, the heart was removed to determine infarct size, mitochondrial function, mitochondrial dynamics, and apoptosis. Our results showed that Mdivi-1 given prior to ischemia, exerted the highest level of cardioprotection quantitated through the attenuated incidence of arrhythmia, reduced infarct size, improved cardiac mitochondrial function and fragmentation, and decreased cardiac apoptosis, leading to preserved LV function during I/R injury. Mdivi-1 administered during ischemia and upon the onset of reperfusion also improved cardiac mitochondrial function and LV function, but at a lower efficacy than when it was given prior to ischemia. Taken together, mitochondrial fission inhibition after myocardial ischemic insults still exerts cardioprotection by attenuating mitochondrial dysfunction and dynamic imbalance, leading to decreased infarct size and ultimately improved LV function after acute cardiac I/R injury in rats. These findings indicate its potential clinical usefulness.

The Fas/Fas ligand and mitochondria pathways have been involved in cell death in several cell types. We combined the genetic inactivation of the Fas receptor ( lpr mice), on the one hand, to the pharmacological inhibition of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP), on the other hand, to investigate which of these pathways is predominantly activated during prolonged ischemia-reperfusion. Anesthetized C57BL/6JICO (control) and C57BL/6- lpr mice were pretreated with either saline or cyclosporin A (CsA; 40 mg/kg, 3 times a day), an inhibitor of the mPTP, and underwent 25 min of ischemia and 24 h of reperfusion. After 24 h of reperfusion, hearts were harvested: infarct size was assessed by 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining, myocardial apoptosis by caspase 3 activity, and mitochondrial permeability transition by Ca2+-induced mPTP opening using a potentiometric approach. Infarct size was comparable in untreated control and lpr mice, ranging from 77 ± 5% to 83 ± 3% of the area at risk. CsA significantly reduced infarct size in control and lpr hearts. Control and lpr hearts exhibited comparable increase in caspase 3 activity that averaged 57 ± 18 and 49 ± 5 pmol·min−1·mg−1, respectively. CsA treatment significantly reduced caspase 3 activity in control and lpr hearts. The Ca2+ overload required to open the mPTP was decreased to a similar extent in lpr and controls. CsA significantly attenuated Ca2+-induced mPTP opening in both groups. Our results suggest that the Fas pathway likely plays a minor role, whereas mitochondria are preferentially involved in mice cardiomyocyte death after a lethal ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Nitrite (NO2−) is an intrinsic signaling molecule that is reduced to NO during ischemia and limits apoptosis and cytotoxicity at reperfusion in the mammalian heart, liver, and brain. Although the mechanism of nitrite-mediated cytoprotection is unknown, NO is a mediator of the ischemic preconditioning cell-survival program. Analogous to the temporally distinct acute and delayed ischemic preconditioning cytoprotective phenotypes, we report that both acute and delayed (24 h before ischemia) exposure to physiological concentrations of nitrite, given both systemically or orally, potently limits cardiac and hepatic reperfusion injury. This cytoprotection is associated with increases in mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. Remarkably, isolated mitochondria subjected to 30 min of anoxia followed by reoxygenation were directly protected by nitrite administered both in vitro during anoxia or in vivo 24 h before mitochondrial isolation. Mechanistically, nitrite dose-dependently modifies and inhibits complex I by posttranslational S-nitrosation; this dampens electron transfer and effectively reduces reperfusion reactive oxygen species generation and ameliorates oxidative inactivation of complexes II–IV and aconitase, thus preventing mitochondrial permeability transition pore opening and cytochrome c release. These data suggest that nitrite dynamically modulates mitochondrial resilience to reperfusion injury and may represent an effector of the cell-survival program of ischemic preconditioning and the Mediterranean diet.

Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) are active metabolites of arachidonic acid that are inactivated by soluble epoxide hydrolase enzyme (sEH) to dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acid. EETs are known to render cardioprotection against ischemia reperfusion (IR) injury by maintaining mitochondrial function. We investigated the effect of a novel sEH inhibitor (sEHi) in limiting IR injury. Mouse hearts were perfused in Langendorff mode for 40 min and subjected to 20 min of global no-flow ischemia followed by 40 min of reperfusion. Hearts were perfused with 0.0, 0.1, 1.0 and 10.0 µmol·L–1 of the sEHi N-(2-chloro-4-methanesulfonyl-benzyl)-6-(2,2,2-trifluoro-ethoxy)-nicotinamide (BI00611953). Inhibition of sEH by BI00611953 significantly improved postischemic left-ventricular-developed pressure and reduced infarct size following IR compared with control hearts, and similar to hearts perfused with 11,12-EETs (1 µmol·L–1) and sEH–/– mice. Perfusion with the putative EET receptor antagonist 14,15-epoxyeicosa-5(Z)-enoic acid (14,15-EEZE, 10 µmol·L–1), or the plasma membrane KATP channels (pmKATP) inhibitor (glibenclamide, 10 µmol·L–1) abolished the improved recovery by BI00611953 (1 µmol·L–1). Mechanistic studies in H9c2 cells demonstrated that BI0611953 decreased ROS generation, caspase-3 activity, proteasome activity, increased HIF-1∝ DNA binding, and delayed the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) caused by anoxia–reoxygenation. Together, our data demonstrate that the novel sEHi BI00611953, a nicotinamide-based compound, provides significant cardioprotection against ischemia reperfusion injury.

Several interventions, such as ischemic preconditioning, remote pre/perconditioning, or postconditioning, are known to decrease lethal myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. While several signal transduction pathways become activated by such maneuvers, they all have a common end point, namely, the mitochondria. These organelles represent an essential target of the cardioprotective strategies, and the preservation of mitochondrial function is central for the reduction of ischemia-reperfusion injury. In the present review, we address the role of mitochondria in the different conditioning strategies; in particular, we focus on alterations of mitochondrial function in terms of energy production, formation of reactive oxygen species, opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore, and mitochondrial dynamics induced by ischemia-reperfusion.
