Abstract
The effects of 3-[2-({[amino(imino)methyl]amino}carbonyl)-4-chloro-1H-indol-1-yl]-1-propanesulphonic acid monohydrate (SM-198110), a novel potent Na+/H+ exchange inhibitor, and cariporide (Hoe642), another Na+/H+ exchange inhibitor, were studied in a myocardial ischaemia and reperfusion injury model. Anaesthetized rabbits were subjected to occlusion of the coronary artery for 30 min followed by reperfusion for 5 h. SM-198110 or cariporide was administered before ischaemia and before reperfusion. We also assessed the anti-necrotic effect of SM-198110 when given before reperfusion, both alone and together with glibenclamide, a K(ATP) channel blocker, 5-hydroxydecanoate (5-HD), a mitochondrial K(ATP) channel-selective blocker and 8-(p-sulphophenyl)-theophylline (8-SPT), an adenosine receptor blocker. The infarct size was reduced dose-dependently by i.v. administration of SM-198110 before ischaemia, with a significant reduction in serum creatine phosphokinase activity. Infarct sizes, normalized to the size of the area-at-risk (means+/-SE) were: vehicle 56.6+/-3.7%; low-dose SM-198110 39.2+/-6.3%; mid-dose 32.8+/-7.4% (P < 0.05); high-dose 22.1+/-6.7% (P < 0.01). This anti-necrotic effect of SM-198110 was achieved without significant haemodynamic changes. Cariporide given before ischaemia also reduced infarct size significantly and dose-dependently. SM-198110 administered before reperfusion also resulted in a dose-dependent reduction in the infarct size. Infarct sizes were: vehicle 56.6+/-3.7%; low-dose SM-198110 44.5+/-5.7%; mid-dose 36.3+/-6.6% (P < 0.01); high-dose 34.7+/-3.8% (P < 0.01). In contrast, cariporide given before reperfusion did not reduce infarct sizes significantly. The anti-necrotic effect of SM-198110 was observed even when given 10 min after the beginning of reperfusion. Glibenclamide and 5-HD abolished the anti-necrotic effect of treatment before reperfusion with SM-198110. However, the co-administration of 8-SPT with SM-198110 did not affect infarct size. These results suggest that, in addition to Na+/H+ exchange inhibition, mitochondrial and/or sarcolemmal K(ATP) channels contribute to the anti-necrotic effect of SM-198110 when the latter is given before reperfusion.

Abstract
Our recent data demonstrate that activation of pmKATP channels polarizes the membrane of cardiomyocytes and reduces Na+/Ca2+ exchange-mediated Ca2+ overload. However, it is important that these findings be extended into contractile models of hypoxia/reoxygenation injury to further test the notion that pmKATP channel activation affords protection against contractile dysfunction and calcium overload. Single rat heart right ventricular myocytes were enzymatically isolated, and cell contractility and Ca2+ transients in field-stimulated myocytes were measured in a cellular model of metabolic inhibition and reoxygenation. Activation of pmKATP with P-1075 (5 microM) or inhibition of the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger with KB-R7943 (5 microM)reduced reoxygenation-induced diastolic Ca2+ overload and improved the rate and magnitude of posthypoxic contractile recovery during the first few minutes of reoxygenation. Moreover,diastolic Ca2+ overload and posthypoxic contractile dysfunction were aggravated in ventricular myocytes either subjected to specific blockade of pmKATP with HMR1098 (20 microM) or expressing the dominant-negative pmKATP construct Kir6.2(AAA) in the presence of P-1075. Our results suggest that a common mechanism, involving resting membrane potential-modulated increases in diastolic [Ca2+]i, is responsible for the development of contractile dysfunction during reoxygenation following metabolic inhibition. This novel and highly plausible cellular mechanism for pmKATP-mediated cardioprotection may have direct clinical relevance as evidenced by the following findings: a hypokalemic polarizing cardioplegia solution supplemented with the pmKATP opener P-1075 improved Ca2+ homeostasis and recovery of function compared with hyperkalemic depolarizing St. Thomas' cardioplegia following contractile arrest in single ventricular myocytes and working rat hearts. We therefore propose that activation of pmKATP channels improves posthypoxic cardiac function via reductions in abnormal diastolic Ca2+ homeostasis mediated by reverse-mode Na+/Ca2+ exchange.

Abstract
Cardioprotection by anesthetic preconditioning (APC) can be abolished by nitric oxide (NO*) synthase inhibitors or by reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavengers. We previously reported attenuated mitochondrial electron transport (ET) and increased ROS generation during preconditioning sevoflurane exposure as part of the triggering mechanism of APC. We hypothesized that NO* and other ROS mediate anesthetic-induced ET attenuation. Cardiac function and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) fluorescence, an index of mitochondrial ET, were measured online in 68 Langendorff-prepared guinea pig hearts. Hearts underwent 30 min of global ischemia and 120 min of reperfusion. Before ischemia, hearts were temporarily perfused with superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione to scavenge ROS or N(G)-nitro-L-arginine-methyl-ester (L-NAME) to inhibit NO* synthase in the presence or absence of 1.3 mM sevoflurane (APC). APC temporarily increased NADH before ischemia, i.e., it attenuated mitochondrial ET. Both this NADH increase and the cardioprotection by APC on reperfusion were prevented by superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione and by N(G)-nitro-L-arginine-methyl-ester. Thus, ROS and NO*, or reaction products including peroxynitrite, mediate sevoflurane-induced ET attenuation. This may lead to a positive feedback mechanism with augmented ROS generation to trigger APC secondary to altered mitochondrial function.

Abstract
Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) induces distinctive changes in mitochondrial bioenergetics during warm (37 degrees C) ischemia and improves function and tissue viability on reperfusion. We examined whether IPC before 2 h of hypothermic (27 degrees C) ischemia affords additive cardioprotection and improves mitochondrial redox balance assessed by mitochondrial NADH and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) autofluorescence in intact hearts. A mediating role of ATP-sensitive K(+) (K(ATP)) channel opening was investigated. NADH and FAD fluorescence was measured in the left ventricular wall of guinea pig isolated hearts assigned to five groups of eight animals each: hypothermia alone, hypothermia with ischemia, IPC with cold ischemia, 5-hydroxydecanoic acid (5-HD) alone, and 5-HD with IPC and cold ischemia. IPC consisted of two 5-min periods of warm global ischemia spaced 5 min apart and 15 min of reperfusion before 2 h of ischemia at 27 degrees C and 2 h of warm reperfusion. The K(ATP) channel inhibitor 5-HD was perfused from 5 min before until 5 min after IPC. IPC before 2 h of ischemia at 27 degrees C led to better recovery of function and less tissue damage on reperfusion than did 27 degrees C ischemia alone. These improvements were preceded by attenuated increases in NADH and decreases in FAD during cold ischemia and the reverse changes during warm reperfusion. 5-HD blocked each of these changes induced by IPC. This study indicates that IPC induces additive cardioprotection with mild hypothermic ischemia by improving mitochondrial bioenergetics during and after ischemia. Because effects of IPC on subsequent changes in NADH and FAD were inhibited by 5-HD, this suggests that mitochondrial K(ATP) channel opening plays a substantial role in improving mitochondrial bioenergetics throughout mild hypothermic ischemia and reperfusion.

Abstract
Protection against ischemia by ischemic preconditioning (IP) is seen in many tissues and organs. However, the preconditioning ischemia must precede lethal ischemia for this effect to occur, and the creation of ischemia to treat heart disease does not seem to be a realistic strategy. Accordingly, the underlying mechanisms that confer cardioprotection should be identified. Early studies revealed that IP causes two windows of cardioprotection, and subsequent efforts to detect cardioprotective factors have identified various triggers, mediators, and potent effectors of IP, such as endogenous receptor agonists (adenosine, catecholamines, bradykinin, and opioids), intracellular messengers [protein kinase C (PKC), p38MAPK, PI-3K, and PKA], ion channels such as KATP channels, enzymes including heat shock proteins (HSPs), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and 5'-nucleotidase, and other factors [nitric oxide (NO), growth factors, free radicals, and products of the arachidonic acid cascade]. Some of these factors are involved in several different pathways and may have multiple roles in IP-induced cardioprotection. Recently, however, certain problems have arisen such as controversies related to increasing knowledge and the relative lack of clinical studies in contrast to the intensive performance of basic studies. To overcome these problems, the latest studies have followed three major trends: (1) investigation of mechanisms to explain the current controversies, (2) detection of other unknown potent mechanisms, and (3) promotion of clinical trials based on the evidence from experimental studies in larger animals. Here, we summarize recent investigations on IP, emphasizing on the controversial issues and emerging factors, and discuss current research on the prevention or treatment of ischemic heart disease including some relevant clinical studies.

Abstract
5-Hydroxydecanoate (5-HD) blocks pharmacological and ischaemic preconditioning, and has been postulated to be a specific inhibitor of mitochondrial ATP-sensitive K(+) (K(ATP)) channels. However, recent work has shown that 5-HD is activated to 5-hydroxydecanoyl-CoA (5-HD-CoA), which is a substrate for the first step of beta-oxidation. We have now analysed the complete beta-oxidation of 5-HD-CoA using specially synthesised (and purified) substrates and enzymes, as well as isolated rat liver and heart mitochondria, and compared it with the metabolism of the physiological substrate decanoyl-CoA. At the second step of beta-oxidation, catalysed by enoyl-CoA hydratase, enzyme kinetics were similar using either decenoyl-CoA or 5-hydroxydecenoyl-CoA as substrate. The last two steps were investigated using l-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (HAD) coupled to 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase. V(max) for the metabolite of 5-HD (3,5-dihydroxydecanoyl-CoA) was fivefold slower than for the corresponding metabolite of decanoate (l-3-hydroxydecanoyl-CoA). The slower kinetics were not due to accumulation of d-3-hydroxyoctanoyl-CoA since this enantiomer did not inhibit HAD. Molecular modelling of HAD complexed with 3,5-dihydroxydecanoyl-CoA suggested that the 5-hydroxyl group could decrease HAD turnover rate by interacting with critical side chains. Consistent with the kinetic data, 5-hydroxydecanoyl-CoA alone acted as a weak substrate in isolated mitochondria, whereas addition of 100 mum 5-HD-CoA inhibited the metabolism of decanoyl-CoA or lauryl-carnitine. In conclusion, 5-HD is activated, transported into mitochondria and metabolised via beta-oxidation, albeit with rate-limiting kinetics at the penultimate step. This creates a bottleneck for beta-oxidation of fatty acids. The complex metabolic effects of 5-HD invalidate the use of 5-HD as a blocker of mitochondrial K(ATP) channels in studies of preconditioning.

Abstract
In the present study we tested the ability of the inhalation anesthetic sevoflurane to induce preconditioning against hypoxia in vitro. Rat hippocampal slices were prepared using established procedures. After 90 min of incubation, slices were exposed for 30 min to 0, 1, 2 or 3 minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) of sevoflurane under normoxic conditions (95% O2/5% CO2). Fifteen minutes later, slices were exposed to 13-min hypoxia (95% N2/5% CO2) followed by 30-min reoxygenation. The amplitude of extracellularly recorded, orthodromically evoked, CA1 population spikes (neuronal function) at the end of the reoxygenation period was measured and used to quantify the degree of recovery of neuronal function posthypoxia. To assess the role that the mitochondrial KATP channel plays in preconditioning, its blocker, 5-hydroxydecanoic acid (5-HD), was added during sevoflurane exposure. Sevoflurane-preconditioning with 1, 2 and 3 MAC increased the degree of recovery of neuronal function after 13-min hypoxia and 30-min reoxygenation from 51 +/- 1% (0 MAC), to 55 +/- 3%, 63 +/- 3%, and 72 +/- 2%, respectively. The effect of 3 MAC sevoflurane was blocked by 5-HD (53 +/- 3%), whereas 5-HD alone had no effect (48 +/- 3%) on the recovery of neuronal function from hypoxia. It is concluded that sevoflurane is capable of inducing preconditioning in vitro in a dose-dependent fashion and involves activation of mitochondrial KATP channels.

Abstract
We examined the effects of diazoxide, the putative mitochondrial adenosine triphosphate-sensitive potassium (mitoK(ATP)) channel opener, against glutamate excitotoxicity in primary cultures of rat cortical neurons. Cells were treated with diazoxide for 24 hr and then exposed to 200 microM glutamate. Cell viability was measured 24 hr after glutamate exposure. We found that treatment 24 hr before glutamate exposure with 250 and 500 microM diazoxide but not with another mitoK(ATP) channel opener, nicorandil, increased neuronal viability from 54 +/- 2% to 84 +/- 2% and 92 +/- 3%, respectively (n = 25-40). These effects were not inhibited by the putative mitoK(ATP) channel blocker 5-hydroxydecanoic acid. Diazoxide application increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and coapplication of M40401, a superoxide dismutase mimetic, prevented delayed preconditioning. The 24 hr preconditioned neurons showed significantly reduced ROS production upon glutamate stimulation compared to that in untreated cells. These results suggest that diazoxide induces delayed preconditioning in cultured cortical neurons via increased ROS production and attenuation of oxidative stress upon glutamate stimulation.

Abstract
BMS-191095, reportedly a selective mitoK(ATP) channel opener which is free from the known side effects of the prototype mitoK(ATP) channel opener diazoxide, induced acute and delayed preconditioning against glutamate excitotoxicity and delayed preconditioning against oxygen-glucose deprivation in primary cultures of rat cortical neurons. BMS-191095 dose dependently depolarized the mitochondria, increased the phosphorylation of PKC isoforms, but had no detectable effects on the activation of MAP kinases and did not influence the expressions of HSP70 and Mn-SOD. In BMS-191095-preconditioned neurons the glutamate-induced free-radical production was abolished. Our data give the first evidence that selective opening of mitoK(ATP) channels with BMS-191095 leads to remarkable neuroprotection via mechanisms that involve mitochondrial depolarization, PKC activation and attenuated free radical production during neuronal stress.

Abstract
Volatile anesthetic agents, such as halothane, isoflurane, and sevoflurane, are the drugs most commonly used to maintain the state of general anesthesia. They have long been known to provide some protection against the effects of cardiac ischemia and reperfusion. Several mechanisms likely contribute to this cardioprotection, including coronary vasodilation, reduced contractility with corresponding decreased metabolic demand, and a direct effect to decrease myocardial Ca(2+) entry through L-type Ca(2+) channels. Recently, a memory phase to cardioprotection has been observed by these agents, which is inhibited by ATP-sensitive potassium channel inhibition. These features suggest a pathway that shares components with those required for ischemic preconditioning, despite the remarkable differences between these two stimuli, and the term anesthetic preconditioning (APC) has been adopted. Scavengers of reactive oxygen species (ROS) abrogate APC, suggesting an effect of anesthetic agents to cause ROS formation. Such an effect has recently been directly demonstrated. The mechanism by which these drugs induce ROS formation is unclear. However, direct inhibition of mitochondrial electron transport system enzymes, and altered mitochondrial bioeneregtics in hearts preconditioned by volatile anesthetics, strongly implicate the mitochondria as the target for these effects. Furthermore, decreased mitochondrial ROS formation during ischemia and reperfusion in hearts preconditioned by volatile anesthetics might underlie the improved postischemic structure and function. APC presents a safe mode to apply preconditioning to human hearts. This review summarizes the major developments in a field that is exciting to clinicians and basic scientists alike.

Abstract
Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) is a most powerful endogenous mechanism for myocardial protection against ischemia/reperfusion injury. It is now apparent that reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated in the mitochondrial respiratory chain act as a trigger of IPC. ROS mediate signal transduction in the early phase of IPC through the posttranslational modification of redox-sensitive proteins. ROS-mediated activation of Src tyrosine kinases serves a scaffold for interaction of proteins recruited by G protein-coupled receptors and growth factor receptors that is necessary for amplification of cardioprotective signal transduction. Protein kinase C (PKC) plays a central role in this signaling cascade. A crucial target of PKC is the mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium channel, which acts as a trigger and a mediator of IPC. Mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases (extracellular signal-regulated kinase, p38 MAP kinase, and c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase) are thought to exist downstream of the Src-PKC signaling module, although the role of MAP kinases in IPC remains undetermined. The late phase of IPC is mediated by cardioprotective gene expression. This mechanism involves redox-sensitive activation of transcription factors through PKC and tyrosine kinase signal transduction pathways that are in common with the early phase of IPC. The effector proteins then act against myocardial necrosis and stunning presumably through alleviation of oxidative stress and Ca(2+) overload. Elucidation of IPC-mediated complex signaling processes will help in the development of more effective pharmacological approaches for prevention of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury.

Abstract
C-terminal fragments of the sulphonylurea receptor SUR2A can alter the functional expression of cloned ATP-sensitive K(+) channels (K(ATP)). To investigate the protective role of K(ATP) channels during metabolic stress we transfected SUR2A fragments into adult rat cardiac myocytes. A fragment comprising residues 1294-1358, the A-fragment, reduced sarcolemmal K(ATP) currents by over 85% after 2 days (pinacidil-activated current densities were: vector alone 7.04 +/- 1.22; and A-fragment 0.94 +/- 0.07 pA pF(-1), n= 6,6, P < 0.001). An inactive fragment (1358-1545, current density 6.30 +/- 0.85 pA pF(-1), n= 6) was used as a control. During metabolic inhibition (CN and iodoacetate) of isolated myocytes stimulated at 1 Hz, the A-fragment delayed action potential shortening and contractile failure, but accelerated rigor contraction and increased Ca(2+) loading. On reperfusion, A-fragment-transfected cells also showed increased intracellular Ca(2+) and the proportion of cells recovering contractile function was reduced from 40.0 to 9.5% (P < 0.01). The protective effect of pretreatment with 2,4-dinitrophenol, measured from increased functional recovery and reduced Ca(2+) loading, was abolished by the A-fragment. Our data are consistent with a role for K(ATP) channels in causing action potential failure and reduced Ca(2+) loading during metabolic stress, and with a major role in protection by preconditioning. The effects of the A-fragment may arise entirely from reduced expression of the sarcolemmal K(ATP) channel, but we also discuss the possibility of mitochondrial effects.

Abstract
1. The opening of cardiac plasma-membrane ATP-sensitive K(+) channels (pmK(ATP)) can protect the heart against ischaemia/reperfusion injury. We recently demonstrated that the resting membrane potential (E(m)) of ventricular myocytes strongly modulates reoxygenation-induced Ca(2+) overload. This led to the hypothesis that activation of pmK(ATP) can influence the extent of chemically induced hypoxia (CIH)/reoxygenation Ca(2+) overload via hyperpolarization of the diastolic membrane potential of ventricular myocytes. 2. The membrane potential (E(m)) of isolated rat myocytes was determined using the perforated patch-clamp technique and DiBac(4)(3) imaging. Intracellular Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](i)) was monitored using FURA-2 imaging. 3. CIH/reoxygenation caused a significant depolarization of E(m) and a substantial increase in [Ca(2+)](i). The K(ATP) opener pinacidil (100 microm) and the pmK(ATP) opener P-1075 (100 microm) hyperpolarized the E(m) of normoxic myocytes. Pinacidil (100 microm) and P-1075 (10 and 100 microm), applied during reoxygenation, hyperpolarized E(m) and prevented reoxygenation-induced increases in [Ca(2+)](i). 4. Myocyte hypercontracture and death increased in parallel with an E(m) depolarization of 10-15 mV and increases in [Ca(2+)](i). Under these conditions, the selective pmK(ATP) channel inhibitor HMR 1098 further depolarized myocyte membrane potential and increased hypercontracture. 5. In conclusion, activation of pmK(ATP) channels can prevent CIH/reoxygenation-induced Ca(2+) overload via a mechanism that is dependent on hyperpolarization of diastolic membrane potential. Hyperpolarization toward normal resting membrane potential favours the Ca(2+) extrusion mode of Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchange.

Abstract
We examined whether interleukin-2 (IL-2) protects the myocardium against injury induced by ischemia and reperfusion via the kappa-opioid receptor (OR). The cardioprotective effect of IL-2 was evaluated by measuring infarct size and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release in response to ischemia and reperfusion in the isolated rat heart. IL-2 at an optimal dose of 50 U/ml mimicked the effect of ischemic preconditioning by reducing infarct size and LDH release. The infarct and LDH-reducing effects of IL-2 were blocked by nor-binaltorphimine (5 microM), a kappa-OR antagonist, but not naltrindole (5 microM), a delta-OR antagonist known to block the action of its stimulation. Moreover, blockade of the mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium (mito-K(ATP)) channel with a selective antagonist, 5-hydroxydecanoate (100 microM), or a nonselective antagonist of K(ATP) channels, glybenclamide (100 microM), or blockade of protein kinase C (PKC) with its inhibitors chelerythrine (5 microM) or GF 109203X (10 microM) [3-[1-[3-(dimethylaminopropyl]-1H-indol-3-yl]-4-(1H-indol-3-yl)-1H-pyrrole-2,5-dione monohydrochloride] abolished the protective effect of IL-2. Administration of free radical scavengers N-acetylcysteine (4 mM) or N-(2-mercaptopropionyl)-glycine (1 mM) also abolished the protective effects of IL-2 and U50,488H [(trans)-3,4-dichloro-N-methyl-N-[2-(1-pyrrolidinyl)-cyclohexyl]benzeneacetamide], a selective kappa-OR agonist. This study provides the first evidence that IL-2 confers cardioprotection against injury induced by ischemia/reperfusion. The effect of IL-2 is mediated via kappa-OR as evidenced by kappa-OR antagonism and similar signaling mechanisms, mito-K(ATP), PKC, and reactive oxygen species involved in the cardioprotective effects of both IL-2 and kappa-OR stimulation.

Abstract
We investigated the effect of diazoxide on neuronal survival in primary cultures of rat cortical neurons against oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD). Diazoxide pre-treatment induced delayed pre-conditioning and almost entirely attenuated the OGD-induced neuronal death. Diazoxide inhibited succinate dehydrogenase and induced mitochondrial depolarization, free radical production and protein kinase C activation. The putative mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium channel blocker 5-hydroxydecanoate abolished the protective effect of diazoxide while the non-selective KATP channel blocker glibenclamide did not. The non-selective KATP channel openers nicorandil and cromakalim did not improve viability. Superoxide dismutase mimetic, M40401, or protein kinase C inhibitor, chelerythrine, prevented the neuroprotective effect of diazoxide. Diazoxide did not increase reduced glutathione and manganese-superoxide dismutase levels but we found significantly higher reduced glutathione levels in diazoxide-pre-conditioned neurons after OGD. In pre-conditioned neurons free radical production was reduced upon glutamate stimulation. The succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor 3-nitropropionic acid also induced pre-conditioning and free radical production in neurons. Here, we provide the first evidence that diazoxide induces delayed pre-conditioning in neurons via acute generation of superoxide anion and activation of protein kinases and subsequent attenuation of oxidant stress following OGD. The succinate dehydrogenase-inhibiting effect of diazoxide is more likely to be involved in this neuroprotection than the opening of mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium channels.

Abstract
Toxicogenomics, the subdiscipline that merges genomics with toxicology, hold the promise to contributing toward the goal of elucidating mechanism by studying genomic profiling related with various drugs. The application of gene expression profiling technology to examine multiple genes and signaling pathways promises a significant advance in understanding the toxic mechanisms of various drugs and prediction of new drug candidate. Toxicogenomics is emerging field combining genomics and bioinformatics to identify and characterize mechanisms of toxicity of drug and various compounds. The principal hypothesis underlying on this field is that chemical-specific pattern of altered gene expression is related with each chemicals properties, especially toxicological property, and it will be revealed using high-density microarray analysis of sample from exposed organisms. So, in this study we compare the gene expression pattern of two anticancer drugs paclitaxel and orally absorbable paclitaxel, using the cDNA microarray. And from the result of this study, it is possible to provide the new possibility for genome-wide insight into mechanism of their anticancer activity and toxicological phenotype.

Abstract
Coronary artery disease and its sequelae-ischemia, myocardial infarction, and heart failure-are leading causes of morbidity and mortality in man. Considerable effort has been devoted toward improving functional recovery and reducing the extent of infarction after ischemic episodes. As a step in this direction, it was found that the heart was significantly protected against ischemia-reperfusion injury if it was first preconditioned by brief ischemia or by administering a potassium channel opener. Both of these preconditioning strategies were found to require opening of a K(ATP) channel, and in 1997 we showed that this pivotal role was mediated by the mitochondrial ATP-sensitive K(+) channel (mitoK(ATP)). This paper will review the evidence showing that opening mitoK(ATP) is cardioprotective against ischemia-reperfusion injury and, moreover, that mitoK(ATP) plays this role during all three phases of the natural history of ischemia-reperfusion injury preconditioning, ischemia, and reperfusion. We discuss two distinct mechanisms by which mitoK(ATP) opening protects the heart-increased mitochondrial production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) during the preconditioning phase and regulation of intermembrane space (IMS) volume during the ischemic and reperfusion phases. It is likely that cardioprotection by ischemic preconditioning (IPC) and K(ATP) channel openers (KCOs) arises from utilization of normal physiological processes. Accordingly, we summarize the results of new studies that focus on the role of mitoK(ATP) in normal cardiomyocyte physiology. Here, we observe the same two mechanisms at work. In low-energy states, mitoK(ATP) opening triggers increased mitochondrial ROS production, thereby amplifying a cell signaling pathway leading to gene transcription and cell growth. In high-energy states, mitoK(ATP) opening prevents the matrix contraction that would otherwise occur during high rates of electron transport. MitoK(ATP)-mediated volume regulation, in turn, prevents disruption of the structure-function of the IMS and facilitates efficient energy transfers between mitochondria and myofibrillar ATPases.

Abstract
Evidence has been presented that mitochondria contain ATP sensitive potassium channels (mK-ATP channels), which may confer tissue protection upon activation. It is, however, not known whether activation of mK-ATP channels has a direct effect on mitochondrial ATP production. This study was performed to define the effect of pinacidil (PIN) on ATP production by oxidative phosphorylation in isolated cardiomyocyte or pancreatic beta-cell mitochondria. Cardiomyocyte mitochondria produced seven times more ATP than beta-cell mitochondria in the presence of pyruvate/malate. PIN inhibited pyruvate/malate-induced mitochondrial ATP production with half maximal effect at 360 microM in both cell types. The inclusion of 5-hydroxydecanoate (5-HD) did not prevent this inhibition. Succinate induced a similar ATP production in cardiomyocyte or beta-cell mitochondria. In beta-cell mitochondria succinate-induced ATP production was inhibited by PIN with half maximal effects at 500 microM PIN. However, in cardiomyocyte mitochondria PIN stimulated succinate-induced ATP production 3-fold with half maximal effect at 100 microM and maximal effect at 200 microM. This PIN-dependent stimulation was mimicked by rotenone. The inclusion of 5-HD could not prevent these PIN effects. In conclusion, PIN may inhibit complex 1 of the respiratory chain without indications of opening mK-ATP channels. In cardiomyocytes with metabolically inhibited succinate dehydrogenase this results in a stimulation of ATP production conferring tissue protection. In beta-cells without a metabolically inhibited succinate dehydrogenase, there is no stimulation by PIN and tissue protection by PIN is not to be expected.
