Examination of the Changes in Calcium Homeostasis in the Delayed Antiarrhythmic Effect of Sodium Nitrite. Int J Mol Sci 2019; 20:ijms20225687. [PMID: 31766239 PMCID: PMC6888494 DOI: 10.3390/ijms20225687] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2019] [Revised: 11/09/2019] [Accepted: 11/11/2019] [Indexed: 01/11/2023] Open
Abstract
We have evidence that the intravenous infusion of sodium nitrite (NaNO2) results in an antiarrhythmic effect when given 24 h prior to an ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) insult in anaesthetized dogs. This protection was associated with the reduction of reactive oxygen species resulting from I/R through the attenuation of mitochondrial respiration. Here, we examined whether the changes in calcium, which also contributes to arrhythmia generation, play a role in the NaNO2-induced effect. On the first day, 30 anaesthetized dogs were treated either with saline or NaNO2 (0.2 µmol/kg/min) for 20 min. Some animals were subjected to a 25 min LAD (anterior descending branch of the left coronary artery) occlusion and 2 min reperfusion (I/R = 4; NaNO2-I/R = 6), or the heart was removed 24 h later. We have shown that nitrite prevented the I/R-induced increase in cellular and mitochondrial calcium deposits. During simulated I/R, the amplitude of the calcium transient and the diastolic calcium level were significantly lower in the nitrite-treated hearts and the ERP (effective refractory period) fraction of the action potential was significantly increased. Furthermore, nitrite also enhanced the mitochondrial respiratory response and prevented the MPTPT opening during calcium overload. These results suggest that nitrite can reduce the harmful consequences of calcium overload, perhaps directly by modulating ion channels or indirectly by reducing the mitochondrial ROS (reactive oxygen species) production.

Abstract
Ischaemic preconditioning (IPC) protects against myocardial ischaemia-reperfusion injury. The metabolic and ionic effects of IPC remain to be clarified in detail. We aimed to investigate the effect of IPC (2 times 5 min ischaemia) on the subcellular distribution of glycogen and Ca2+-uptake and leakiness by the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) in response to ischaemia-reperfusion in cardiomyocytes of isolated perfused rat hearts (Wistar rats, 335 ± 25 g). As estimated by quantitative transmission electron microscopy, the pre-ischaemic contribution [%, mean (95% CI)] of three sub-fractions of glycogen relative to total glycogen was 50 (39:61) as subsarcolemmal, 41 (31:50) as intermyofibrillar, and 9 (5:13) as intramyofibrillar glycogen. After 25 min of ischaemia, the relative contribution (%) of subsarcolemmal glycogen decreased to 39 (32:47) in control hearts (Con) and to 38 (31:45) in IPC. After 15 min reperfusion the contribution of subsarcolemmal glycogen was restored to pre-ischaemic levels in IPC hearts, but not in Con hearts. IPC increased the left ventricular developed pressure following ischaemia-reperfusion compared with Con. In saponin-skinned cardiomyocyte bundles, ischaemia reduced the SR Ca2+-uptake rate, with no effect of IPC. However, IPC reduced a SR Ca2+-leakage at pre-ischaemia, after ischaemia and during reperfusion. In conclusion, subsarcolemmal glycogen was preferentially utilised during sustained myocardial ischaemia. IPC improved left ventricular function reflecting reduced ischaemia-reperfusion injury, mediated a re-distribution of glycogen towards a preferential storage within the subsarcolemmal space during reperfusion, and lowered SR Ca2+-leakage. Under the present conditions, we found no temporal associations between alterations in glycogen localisation and SR Ca2+ kinetics.

Abstract
The transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) channel is a calcium-permeable nonselective cation channel in the plasma membrane that belongs to the transient receptor potential (TRP) channel superfamily. Recent studies have suggested that the TRPA1 channel plays an essential role in the development and progression of several cardiovascular conditions, such as atherosclerosis, heart failure, myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, myocardial fibrosis, arrhythmia, vasodilation, and hypertension. Activation of the TRPA1 channel has a protective effect against the development of atherosclerosis. Furthermore, TRPA1 channel activation elicits peripheral vasodilation and induces a biphasic blood pressure response. However, loss of channel expression or blockade of its activation suppressed heart failure, myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, myocardial fibrosis, and arrhythmia. In this paper, we review recent research progress on the TRPA1 channel and discuss its potential role in the cardiovascular system.

Abstract
Ca2+ entry via the transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) channel contributes to Ca2+ overload and triggers many pathophysiological conditions, including myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Propofol, a widely used intravenous anesthetic, attenuates myocardial I/R injury. However, the mechanism of propofol remains to be examined. The present study aims to test the hypothesis that propofol attenuates myocardial I/R injury through the suppression of TRPV4. We used a murine ex vivo model of myocardial I/R and in vitro cultured myocytes subjected to hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R). Propofol or TRPV4 antagonist, HC-067047, attenuates myocardial I/R injury in isolated hearts. In addition, propofol, HC-067047, or TRPV4-siRNA attenuates H/R-induced intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) increase and cell viability reduction. On the contrary, TRPV4 agonist GSK1016790A exacerbates both ex vivo and in vitro myocardial injury. Pretreatment with propofol reverses the myocardial injury and intracellular Ca2+ overload induced by GSK1016790A at least in vitro. However, neither the combination of propofol and HC-067047 nor applying propofol to cells transfected with TRPV4-siRNA creates additional protective effects. In addition, propofol dose-dependently inhibits TRPV4-mediated Ca2+ entry induced by GSK1016790A and 4α-PDD. Propofol attenuates myocardial I/R injury partially through the suppression of TRPV4 channel and the subsequent inhibition of intracellular Ca2+ overload.

Abstract
Purpose Intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i) overload is a major cause of cell injury during myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). Dexmedetomidine (DEX) has been shown to exert anti-inflammatory and organ protective effects. This study aimed to investigate whether pretreatment with DEX could protect H9c2 cardiomyocytes against oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) injury through regulating the Ca2+ signaling. Methods H9c2 cardiomyocytes were subjected to OGD for 12 h, followed by 3 h of reoxygenation. DEX was administered 1 h prior to OGD/R. Cell viability, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release, level of [Ca2+]i, cell apoptosis, and the expression of 12.6-kd FK506-binding protein/ryanodine receptor 2 (FKBP12.6/RyR2) and caspase-3 were assessed. Results Cells exposed to OGD/R had decreased cell viability, increased LDH release, elevated [Ca2+]i level and apoptosis rate, down-regulated expression of FKBP12.6, and up-regulated expression of phosphorylated-Ser2814-RyR2 and cleaved caspase-3. Pretreatment with DEX significantly blocked the above-mentioned changes, alleviating the OGD/R-induced injury in H9c2 cells. Moreover, knockdown of FKBP12.6 by small interfering RNA abolished the protective effects of DEX. Conclusion This study indicates that DEX pretreatment protects the cardiomyocytes against OGD/R-induced injury by inhibiting [Ca2+]i overload and cell apoptosis via regulating the FKBP12.6/RyR2 signaling. DEX may be used for preventing cardiac I/R injury in the clinical settings.

Abstract
The phospholipid l-α-lysophosphatidylinositol (LPI), an endogenous ligand for GPR55, is elevated in patients with acute coronary syndrome, and a GPR55 antagonist cannabidiol (CBD) reduces experimental ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. While LPI activates multiple signaling pathways, little is known about which ones are important in cardiomyocytes. In this study we explored whether activation of the Rho kinase/ROCK/p38 MAPK pathway is responsible for LPI-induced extension of I/R injury. Using a high-throughput screening method (dynamic mass redistribution; DMR), mouse- and human-induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) cardiomyocytes exposed to LPI were shown to exhibit a rapid, sustained, and concentration-dependent (1 nmol L-1-30 μmol L-1) cellular response. Y-27632 (ROCK inhibitor; 10 & 50 μmol L-1) and CBD (1 μmol L-1) both abolished the DMR response to LPI (10 μmol L-1). In murine iPSC cardiomyocytes, LPI-induced ROCK and p38 MAPK phosphorylation, both of which were prevented by Y-27632 and CBD, but did not induce JNK activation or cleavage of caspase-3. In hearts isolated from wild type (WT) mice subjected to 30 minutes global I/R, LPI (10 μmol L-1) administered via the coronary circulation increased infarct size when applied prior to ischemia onset, but not when given at the time of reperfusion. The exacerbation of tissue injury by LPI was not seen in hearts from GPR55-/- mice or in the presence of Y-27632, confirming that injury is mediated via the GPR55/ROCK/p38 MAPK pathway. These findings suggest that raised levels of LPI in the vicinity of a developing infarct may worsen the outcome of AMI.

Abstract
New thoughts are warranted to develop efficient diagnosis and optimal therapeutics to combat unstable angina (UA)/myocardial infarction (MI). Therefore, the gene data of patients with UA or MI were used in this study to identify the optimal pathways which can provide comprehensive information for UA/MI development. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between UA and MI were detected using LIMMA package, and pathway enrichment analysis was conducted for the DEGs, based on the DAVID tool, to detect the significant pathways. Then, differential co-expression network (DCN) and sub-DCN for the DEGs were constructed. Subsequently, informative pathways were extracted using guilt-by-association (GBA) principle relying on the area under the curve (AUC), and the pathway categories with AUC >0.8 were defined as the informative pathways. Finally, we selected the optimal pathways based on the traditional pathway analysis and the sub-DCN-based-GBA pathway prediction method. A total of 203 and 266 DEGs were identified from the expression profile of blood of MI samples comparing with UAs in the time-point 1 and time-point 2 groups. Moreover, 7 and 10 informative pathway terms were identified based on AUC>0.8. Significantly, cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, as well as MAPK signaling pathway were the common optimal pathways in the two groups. Calcium signaling pathway was unique to the whole blood of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) taken at 30 days post-ACS. In conclusion, the optimal pathways (MAPK signaling pathway, cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, and calcium signaling pathway) might play important roles in the progression of UA/MI.

Abstract
Inhibition of and genetic deletion of the NAD(P)+ hydrolase [NAD(P)ase] CD38 have been shown to protect against ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in rat and mouse hearts. CD38 has been shown to enhance salvage of NADP(H), which in turn prevents impairment of endothelial nitric oxide synthase function, a hallmark of endothelial dysfunction. Despite growing evidence for a role of CD38 in postischemic injury, until recently there had been a lack of potent CD38 inhibitors. Recently, a new class of thiazoloquin(az)olin(on)e compounds were identified as highly potent and specific CD38 inhibitors. Herein, we investigate the ability of one of these compounds, 78c, to inhibit CD38 and protect the heart in an ex vivo model of myocardial I/R injury. The potency and mechanism of CD38 inhibition by 78c was assessed in vitro using recombinant CD38. The dose-dependent tissue uptake of 78c in isolated mouse hearts was determined, and high tissue permeability of 78c was observed when delivered in perfusate. Treatment of hearts with 78c was protective against both postischemic endothelial and cardiac myocyte injury, with preserved nitric oxide synthase-dependent vasodilatory and contractile function, respectively. Myocardial infarction was also significantly decreased in 78c-treated hearts, with preserved levels of high-energy phosphates. Protective effects peaked at 10 μM treatment, and similar protection without toxicity was seen at 5-fold higher doses. Overall, 78c was shown to be a potent and biologically active CD38 inhibitor with favorable tissue uptake and marked protective effects against I/R injury with enhanced preservation of contractile function, coronary flow, and decreased infarction.

Abstract
Reperfusion of ischemic myocardium is accompanied by intracellular Ca overload, leading to cardiac dysfunction. However, the mechanisms underlying intracellular Ca overload have yet to be fully elucidated. The mechanism may involve the activation of store-operated Ca entry, which is primarily mediated through the transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) channels. This study was undertaken to examine the possible involvement of TRPC channels in the development of contractile dysfunction associated with reperfusion of ischemic myocardium using a mouse heart model. The functional expression of TRPC channels was confirmed in mouse ventricular myocytes using immunocytochemistry, Western blotting, and patch-clamp experiments. The left ventricular functions were assessed by measuring left ventricular end-diastolic pressure, left ventricular developed pressure, and its first derivatives in a Langendorff-perfused mouse heart subjected to 30 minutes of normothermic (37°C) global ischemia followed by 60 minutes of reperfusion. Under control conditions, left ventricular functions were deteriorated during reperfusion, which was significantly ameliorated by administration of the TRPC channel blockers 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate and La during initial 5 minutes of reperfusion. Our findings suggest that TRPC channels are involved in mediating contractile dysfunction during reperfusion of ischemic myocardium and detect TRPC channels as a potential therapeutic target for preventing myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury.

Abstract
Brain and heart ischemia are among the leading causes of death and disability in both men and women, but there are significant sex differences in the incidence and severity of these diseases. Ca2+ dysregulation in response to ischemia/reperfusion injury (I/RI) is a well-recognized pathogenic mechanism leading to the death of affected cells. Excess intracellular Ca2+ causes mitochondrial matrix Ca2+ overload that can result in mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT), which can have severe consequences for mitochondrial function and trigger cell death. Recent findings indicate that estrogens and their related receptors are involved in the regulation of MPT, suggesting that sex differences in I/RI could be linked to estrogen-dependent modulation of mitochondrial Ca2+. Here, we review the evidence supporting sex differences in I/RI and the role of estrogen and estrogen receptors in producing these differences, the involvement of mitochondrial Ca2+ overload in disease pathogenesis, and the estrogen-dependent modulation of MPT that may contribute to sex differences.

Abstract
We analyzed how the enhancement of net sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ uptake may affect cardiac electrophysiological properties in vivo by using caldaret which can decrease SR diastolic Ca2+ leak, enhance SR Ca2+ reuptake and inhibit reverse-mode Na+/Ca2+ exchanger. Caldaret in doses of 0.5, 5 and 50 μg/kg was intravenously administered over 10 min to the halothane-anesthetized beagle dogs (n = 5), attaining pharmacologically active plasma concentration. The low and middle doses of caldaret increased the ventricular contraction, which could be explained by its on-target pharmacological activities. The high dose enhanced the sinus automaticity followed by its suppression in addition to the increase of the total peripheral resistance, which may be unfavorable for treating diastolic heart failure. The low and middle doses enhanced the atrioventricular conduction, which may have some potential for predisposing the atria to the onset of atrial fibrillation via an induction of mitral and/or tricuspid regurgitation. The middle and high doses of caldaret prolonged the ventricular effective refractory period without altering the intraventricular conduction or repolarization period, which may prevent the onset of ventricular arrhythmias. Thus, modulation of intracellular Ca2+ handling by caldaret can induce not only inotropic effect, but also various electrophysiological actions on the in situ heart.

Abstract
While an ischemic insult poses a lethal danger to myocardial cells, a significant proportion of cardiac myocytes remain viable throughout the ischemic episode and die, paradoxically, only after the blood flow is reinstated. Despite decades of research, the actual chronology of critical events leading to cardiomyocyte death during the reperfusion phase remains poorly understood. Arguably, identification of the pivotal event in this setting is necessary to design effective strategies aimed at salvaging the myocardium after an ischemic attack. Here we used neonatal rat ventricular myocytes (NRVMs) subjected to 20–30 min of simulated ischemia followed by 1 hour of “reperfusion”. Using different combinations of spectrally-compatible fluorescent indicators, we analyzed the relative timing of the following events: (1) abnormal increase in cytoplasmic [Ca2+] (TCaCy); (2) abnormal increase in mitochondrial [Ca2+] (TCaMi); (3) loss of mitochondrial inner membrane potential (ΔΨm) indicating mitochondrial permeability transitions (TMPT); (4) sacrolemmal permeabilization (SP) to the normally impermeable small fluorophore TO-PRO3 (TSP). In additional experiments we also analyzed the timing of abnormal uptake of Zn2+ into the cytoplasm (TZnCy) relative to TCaCy and TSP. We focused on those NRVMs which survived anoxia, as evidenced by at least 50% recovery of ΔΨm and the absence of detectable SP. In these cells, we found a consistent sequence of critical events in the order, from first to last, of TCaCy, TCaMi, TMPT, TSP. After detecting TCaCy and TCaMi, abrupt switches between 1.1 mM and nominally zero [Ca2+] in the perfusate quickly propagated to the cytoplasmic and mitochondrial [Ca2+]. Depletion of the sarcoplasmic reticulum with ryanodine (5 μM)/thapsigargin (1 μM) accelerated all events without changing their order. In the presence of ZnCl2 (10–30 μM) in the perfusate we found a consistent timing sequence TCaCy < TZn ≤ TSP. In some cells ZnCl2 interfered with Ca2+ uptake, causing “steps” or “gaps” in the [Ca2+]Cy curve, a phenomenon never observed in the absence of ZnCl2. Together, these findings suggest an evolving permeabilization of NRVM’s sarcolemma during reoxygenation, in which the expansion of the pore size determines the timing of critical events, including TMPT.

Abstract
Ticagrelor is a direct acting and reversibly binding P2Y12 antagonist approved for the prevention of thromboembolic events. Clinical effects of ticagrelor cannot be simply accounted for by pure platelet inhibition, and off-target mechanisms can potentially play a role. In particular, recent evidence suggests that ticagrelor may also influence heart function and improve the evolution of myocardial ischemic injury by more direct effects on myocytes. The cardiac sodium/calcium exchanger 1 (NCX1) is a critical player in the generation and control of calcium (Ca2+) signals, which orchestrate multiple myocyte activities in health and disease. Altered expression and/or activity of NCX1 can have profound consequences for the function and fate of myocytes. Whether ticagrelor affects cardiac NCX1 has not been investigated yet. To explore this hypothesis, we analyzed the expression, localization and activity of NCX1 in the heart derived H9c2-NCX1 cells following ticagrelor exposure. We found that ticagrelor concentration- and time-dependently reduced the activity of the cardiac NCX1 in H9c2 cells. In particular, the inhibitory effect of ticagrelor on the Ca2+-influx mode of NCX1 was evident within 1 h and further developed after 24 h, when NCX1 activity was suppressed by about 55% in cells treated with 1 μM ticagrelor. Ticagrelor-induced inhibition of exchanger activity was reached at clinically relevant concentrations, without affecting the expression levels and subcellular distribution of NCX1. Collectively, these findings suggest that cardiac NCX1 is a new downstream target of ticagrelor, which may contribute to the therapeutic profile of ticagrelor in clinical practice.

Abstract
Our previous study showed that Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) could protect cardiomyocytes against hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injury via the JAK-STAT pathway and maintain normal myocardial mitochondria integrity in vivo. However, it is not known yet whether S1P can relieve mitochondrial dysfunction via the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway and its detailed mechanism remains to be investigated. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the mitochondrial protective effects of S1P in a cardiomyocyte H/R injury model. In the present study, we established a H/R model in H9c2 cells. Cell viability was determined by the MTT assay, and apoptosis was evaluated by annexin V-FITC/PI staining. Mitochondrial calcium ion concentration, mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm), opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP), and release of cytochrome C were detected by laser confocal microscopy. The results showed that S1P inhibited the decrease in cell viability induced by H/R injury and reduced apoptosis. Confocal microscopy showed that S1P prevented loss of ΔΨm, relieved mitochondrial calcium overload, and inhibited opening of the mPTP and release of cytochrome C. The STAT3 inhibitor STATTIC can reverse the antiapoptotic effects of S1P and block the effect of S1P on mitochondria. Taken together, our results indicate that S1P protects cardiomyocytes against H/R injury by relieving mitochondrial dysfunction via the STAT3 pathway.

Abstract
Sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are the first antidiabetic compounds that effectively reduce heart failure hospitalization and cardiovascular death in type 2 diabetics. Being explicitly designed to inhibit SGLT2 in the kidney, SGLT2i have lately been investigated for their off-target cardiac actions. Here, we review the direct effects of SGLT2i Empagliflozin (Empa), Dapagliflozin (Dapa), and Canagliflozin (Cana) on various cardiac cell types and cardiac function, and how these may contribute to the cardiovascular benefits observed in large clinical trials. SGLT2i impaired the Na+/H+ exchanger 1 (NHE-1), reduced cytosolic [Ca2+] and [Na+] and increased mitochondrial [Ca2+] in healthy cardiomyocytes. Empa, one of the best studied SGLT2i, maintained cell viability and ATP content following hypoxia/reoxygenation in cardiomyocytes and endothelial cells. SGLT2i recovered vasoreactivity of hyperglycemic and TNF-α-stimulated aortic rings and of hyperglycemic endothelial cells. Anti-inflammatory actions of Cana in IL-1β-treated HUVEC and of Dapa in LPS-treated cardiofibroblast were mediated by AMPK activation. In isolated mouse hearts, Empa and Cana, but not Dapa, induced vasodilation. In ischemia-reperfusion studies of the isolated heart, Empa delayed contracture development during ischemia and increased mitochondrial respiration post-ischemia. Direct cardiac effects of SGLT2i target well-known drivers of diabetes and heart failure (elevated cardiac cytosolic [Ca2+] and [Na+], activated NHE-1, elevated inflammation, impaired vasorelaxation, and reduced AMPK activity). These cardiac effects may contribute to the large beneficial clinical effects of these antidiabetic drugs.

Functional recovery after dantrolene-supplementation of cold stored hearts using an ex vivo isolated working rat heart model. PLoS One 2018; 13:e0205850.

Abstract
The ryanodine receptor antagonist dantrolene inhibits calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum and reduces cardiac ischaemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) in global warm ischaemia models however the cardioprotective potential of dantrolene under hypothermic conditions is unknown. This study addresses whether the addition of dantrolene during cardioplegia and hypothermic storage of the donor heart can improve functional recovery and reduce IRI. Using an ex vivo isolated working heart model, Wistar rat (3 month and 12 month) hearts were perfused to acquire baseline haemodynamic measurements of aortic flow, coronary flow, cardiac output, pulse pressure and heart rate. Hearts were arrested and stored in Celsior preservation solution supplemented with 0.2–40 μM dantrolene for 6 hours at 4°C, then reperfused (15 min Langendorff, 30 min working mode). In 3-month hearts, supplementation with 1 μM dantrolene significantly improved aortic flow and cardiac output compared to unsupplemented controls however lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release and contraction bands were comparable. In contrast, 40 μM dantrolene-supplementation yielded poor cardiac recovery, increased post-reperfusion LDH but reduced contraction bands. All 3-month hearts stored in dantrolene displayed significantly reduced cleaved-caspase 3 intensities compared to controls. Analysis of cardioprotective signalling pathways showed no changes in AMPKα however dantrolene increased STAT3 and ERK1/2 signaling in a manner unrelated to functional recovery and AKT activity was reduced in 1 μM dantrolene-stored hearts. In contrast to 3-month hearts, no significant improvements were observed in the functional recovery of 12-month hearts following prolonged storage in 1 μM dantrolene. Conclusions: Dantrolene supplementation at 1 μM during hypothermic heart preservation improved functional recovery of young, but not older (12 month) hearts. Although the molecular mechanisms responsible for dantrolene-mediated cardioprotection are unclear, our studies show no correlation between improved functional recovery and SAFE and RISK pathway activation.

Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Basis Dis 2018; 1865:252-260.

Abstract
AIMS Disturbance of mitochondrial function significantly contributes to the myocardial injury that occurs during reperfusion. Increasing evidence suggests a role of intra-mitochondrial cyclic AMP (cAMP) signaling in promoting respiration and ATP synthesis. Mitochondrial levels of cAMP are controlled by type 10 soluble adenylyl cyclase (sAC) and phosphodiesterase 2 (PDE2), however their role in the reperfusion-induced injury remains unknown. Here we aimed to examine whether sAC may support cardiomyocyte survival during reperfusion. METHODS AND RESULTS Adult rat cardiomyocytes or rat cardiac H9C2 cells were subjected to metabolic inhibition and recovery as a model of simulated ischemia and reperfusion. Cytosolic Ca2+, pH, mitochondrial cAMP (live-cell imaging), and cell viability were analyzed during a 15-min period of reperfusion. Suppression of sAC activity in cardiomyocytes and H9C2 cells, either by sAC knockdown, by pharmacological inhibition or by withdrawal of bicarbonate, a natural sAC activator, compromised cell viability and recovery of cytosolic Ca2+ homeostasis during reperfusion. Contrariwise, overexpression of mitochondria-targeted sAC in H9C2 cells suppressed reperfusion-induced cell death. Analyzing cAMP concentration in mitochondrial matrix we found that inhibition of PDE2, a predominant mitochondria-localized PDE isoform in mammals, during reperfusion significantly increased cAMP level in mitochondrial matrix, but not in cytosol. Accordingly, PDE2 inhibition attenuated reperfusion-induced cardiomyocyte death and improved recovery of the cytosolic Ca2+ homeostasis. CONCLUSION sAC plays an essential role in supporting cardiomyocytes viability during reperfusion. Elevation of mitochondrial cAMP pool either by sAC overexpression or by PDE2 inhibition beneficially affects cardiomyocyte survival during reperfusion.

Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R)-induced lung injury undermines lung transplantation (LTx) outcomes by predisposing lung grafts to primary graft dysfunction (PGD). Necrosis is a feature of I/R lung injury. However, regulated necrosis (RN) with specific signaling pathways has not been explored in an LTx setting. In this study, we investigated the role of RN in I/R-induced lung injury. To study I/R-induced cell death, we simulated an LTx procedure using our cell culture model with human lung epithelial (BEAS-2B) cells. After 18 h of cold ischemic time (CIT) followed by reperfusion, caspase-independent cell death, mitochondrial reactive oxygen species production, and mitochondrial membrane permeability were significantly increased. N-acetyl-Leu-Leu-norleucinal (ALLN) (calpain inhibitor) or necrostatin-1 (Nec-1) [receptor interacting serine/threonine kinase 1 (RIPK1) inhibitor] reduced these changes. ALLN altered RIPK1/RIPK3 expression and mixed lineage kinase domain-like (MLKL) phosphorylation, whereas Nec-1 did not change calpain/calpastatin expression. Furthermore, signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) was demonstrated to be downstream of calpain and regulate RIPK3 expression and MLKL phosphorylation during I/R. This calpain-STAT3-RIPK axis induces endoplasmic reticulum stress and mitochondrial calcium dysregulation. LTx patients' samples demonstrate that RIPK1, MLKL, and STAT3 mRNA expression increased from CIT to reperfusion. Moreover, the expressions of the key proteins are higher in PGD samples than in non-PGD samples. Cell death associated with prolonged lung preservation is mediated by the calpain-STAT3-RIPK axis. Inhibition of RIPK and/or calpain pathways could be an effective therapy in LTx.

Cyclosporine-insensitive mode of cell death after prolonged myocardial ischemia: Evidence for sarcolemmal permeabilization as the pivotal step. PLoS One 2018; 13:e0200301.

Abstract
A prominent theory of cell death in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) posits that the primary and pivotal step of irreversible cell injury is the opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) pore. However, the predominantly positive evidence of protection against infarct afforded by the MPT inhibitor, Cyclosporine A (CsA), in experimental studies is in stark contrast with the overall lack of benefit found in clinical trials of CsA. One reason for the discrepancy might be the fact that relatively short experimental ischemic episodes (<1 hour) do not represent clinically-realistic durations, usually exceeding one hour. Here we tested the hypothesis that MPT is not the primary event of cell death after prolonged (60–80 min) episodes of global ischemia. We used confocal microcopy in Langendorff-perfused rabbit hearts treated with the electromechanical uncoupler, 2,3-Butanedione monoxime (BDM, 20 mM) to allow tracking of MPT and sarcolemmal permeabilization (SP) in individual ventricular myocytes. The time of the steepest drop in fluorescence of mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm)-sensitive dye, TMRM, was used as the time of MPT (TMPT). The time of 20% uptake of the normally cell-impermeable dye, YO-PRO1, was used as the time of SP (TSP). We found that during reperfusion MPT and SP were tightly coupled, with MPT trending slightly ahead of SP (TSP-TMPT = 0.76±1.31 min; p = 0.07). These coupled MPT/SP events occurred in discrete myocytes without crossing cell boundaries. CsA (0.2 μM) did not reduce the infarct size, but separated SP and MPT events, such that detectable SP was significantly ahead of MPT (TSP -TMPT = -1.75±1.28 min, p = 0.006). Mild permeabilization of cells with digitonin (2.5–20 μM) caused coupled MPT/SP events which occurred in discrete myocytes similar to those observed in Control and CsA groups. In contrast, deliberate induction of MPT by titration with H2O2 (200–800 μM), caused propagating waves of MPT which crossed cell boundaries and were uncoupled from SP. Taken together, these findings suggest that after prolonged episodes of ischemia, SP is the primary step in myocyte death, of which MPT is an immediate and unavoidable consequence.

Abstract
Aims: Urocortin-2 (Ucn-2) is a potent cardioprotector against Ischemia and Reperfusion (I/R) injuries. However, little is known about its role in the regulation of intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) under I/R. Here, we examined whether the addition of Ucn-2 in reperfusion promotes cardioprotection focusing on ([Ca2+]i handling. Methods and Results: Cardiac Wistar rat model of I/R was induced by transient ligation of the left coronary artery and experiments were conducted 1 week after surgery in tissue and adult cardiomyocytes isolated from risk and remote zones. We observed that I/R promoted significant alteration in cardiac contractility as well as an increase in hypertrophy and fibrosis in both zones. The study of confocal [Ca2+]i imaging in adult cardiomyocytes revealed that I/R decreased the amplitude of [Ca2+]i transient and cardiomyocytes contraction in risk and remote zones. Interestingly, intravenous infusion of Ucn-2 before heart’s reperfusion recovered significantly cardiac contractility and prevented fibrosis, but it didn’t affect cardiac hypertrophy. Moreover, Ucn-2 recovered the amplitude of [Ca2+]i transient and modulated the expression of several proteins related to [Ca2+]i homeostasis, such as TRPC5 and Orai1 channels. Using Neonatal Rat Ventricular Myocytes (NRVM) we demonstrated that Ucn-2 blunted I/R-induced Store Operated Ca2+ Entry (SOCE), decreased the expression of TRPC5 and Orai1 as well as their interaction in reperfusion. Conclusion: Our study provides the first evidences demonstrating that Ucn-2 addition at the onset of reperfusion attenuates I/R-induced adverse cardiac remodeling, involving the [Ca2+]i handling and inhibiting the expression and interaction between TRPC5 and Orai1.

Abstract
Calpains activate during myocardial ischemia-reperfusion and contribute to reperfusion injury. Studies in transgenic animals with altered calpain/calpastatin system subjected to permanent ischemia suggest that calpains are also involved in post-infarction remodelling and heart failure. Aims To determine whether delayed oral administration of the calpain inhibitor SNJ-1945 reduces adverse myocardial remodelling and dysfunction following transient coronary occlusion. Methods and results Male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to 30 min of ischemia followed by 21 days of reperfusion and received the calpain inhibitor SNJ-1945 intraperitoneally at the onset of reperfusion (Acute group), orally starting after 24 h of reperfusion and for 14 days (Chronic group), or the combination of both treatments. Calpain-1 and calpain-2 protein content increased and correlated with higher calpain activity in control hearts. Administration of SNJ-1945 attenuated calpain activation, and reduced scar expansion, ventricular dilation and dysfunction in both acute and chronic groups. Acute treatment reduced infarct size in hearts reperfused for 24 h and inflammation measured after 3 days. Delayed, chronic oral administration of SNJ-1945 attenuated inflammation, cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and collagen infiltration in the non-infarcted myocardium at 21 days in correlation with increased levels of IĸB and reduced NF-ĸB activation. In cultured fibroblasts, SNJ-1945 attenuated TGF-β1-induced fibroblast activation. Conclusions Our data demonstrate for the first time that long-term calpain inhibition is possible with delayed oral treatment, attenuates adverse post-infarction remodelling, likely through prevention of NF-ĸB activation, and may be a promising therapeutic intervention to prevent adverse remodelling and heart failure in patients with acute myocardial infarction.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOXO) administration induces alterations in Connexin 43 (Cx43) expression and localization, thus, inducing alterations in chemical and electrical signal transmission between cardiomyocytes and in intracellular calcium homeostasis even evident after a single administration. This study was designed to evaluate if Diazoxide (DZX), a specific opener of mitochondrial KATP channels widely used for its cardioprotective effects, can fight DOXO-induced cardiotoxicity in a short-time mouse model. DZX (20 mg/kg i.p.) was administered 30 min before DOXO (10 mg/kg i.p.) in C57BL/6j female mice for 1–3 or seven days once every other day. A recovery of cardiac parameters, evaluated by Echocardiography, were observed in DZX+DOXO co-treated mice. Western blot analysis performed on heart lysates showed an increase in sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCAII) and a reduction in phospholamban (PLB) amounts in DZX+DOXO co-treated mice. A contemporary recovery of intracellular Ca2+-signal, detected spectrofluorometrically by means of FURA-2AM, was observed in these mice. Cx43 expression and localization, analyzed by Western blot and confirmed by immunofluorescence analysis, showed that DZX co-treatement increases Cx43 amount both on sarcoplasmic membrane and on mitochondria. In conclusion, our data demonstrate that, in a short-time mouse model of DOXO-induced cardiotoxicity, DZX exerts its cardioprotective effects also by enhancing the amount Cx43.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the role of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury in isolated perfused rat heart and explore the underlying mechanisms. METHODS An ischemia-reperfusion (IR) model was prepared using isolated rat hearts perfused with Krebs-Henseleit solution were randomly divided into control group, 2.5 µmol/L KN-93 group, IR (induced by ischemia for 45 min followed by reperfusion for 120 min) group and KN-93+IR group. The myocardial performance was evaluated by assessing the left ventricular pressure. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity and cTnI content in the coronary flow and the infarct size were determined to evaluate the myocardial injury. The phosphorylation of CaMKII (p-CaMKII) and PLN (p-PLN) and oxidation of CaMKII (ox--CaMKII) were measured with Western blotting. The activity of mitochondrial superoxide dismutase (SOD) and the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) were determined using ELISA. RESULTS Compared with the control group, KN-93 treatment at 2.5 µmol/L produced no significant effects on cardiac function or performance in rat hearts without IR injury. Myocardial IR injury significantly decreased myocardial performance and mitochondrial SOD activity in the perfused hearts (P<0.01) and caused significantly increased infarct size, LDH activity, cTnI content, expressions of p-CaMKII, ox-CaMKII and p-PLN, and also increased mitochondrial MDA content (P<0.01). KN-93 treatment at 2.5 µmol/L administered before ischemia and before reperfusion markedly attenuated such changes induced by ischemia and reperfusion (P<0.01). CONCLUSION CaMKII participates in myocardial IR injury in isolated rat heart, and inhibiting CaMKII can alleviate myocardial injury by relieving mitochondrial oxidation stress.

Abstract
The evolution of cardiac disease after an acute ischemic event depends on a complex and dynamic network of mechanisms alternating from ischemic damage due to acute coronary occlusion to reperfusion injury due to the adverse effects of coronary revascularization till post-ischemic remodeling. Cardioprotection is a new purpose of the therapeutic interventions in cardiology with the goal to reduce infarct size and thus prevent the progression toward heart failure after an acute ischemic event. In a complex biological system such as the human one, an effective cardioprotective strategy should diachronically target the network of cross-talking pathways underlying the disease progression. Thyroid system is strictly interconnected with heart homeostasis, and recent studies highlighted its role in cardioprotection, in particular through the preservation of mitochondrial function and morphology, the antifibrotic and proangiogenetic effect and also to the potential induction of cell regeneration and growth. The objective of this review was to highlight the cardioprotective role of triiodothyronine in the complexity of post-ischemic disease evolution.

Abstract
Cardiac transplantation has become limited by a critical shortage of suitable organs from brain-dead donors. Reports describing the successful clinical transplantation of hearts donated after circulatory death (DCD) have recently emerged. Hearts from DCD donors suffer significant ischemic injury prior to organ procurement; therefore, the traditional approach to the transplantation of hearts from brain-dead donors is not applicable to the DCD context. Advances in our understanding of ischemic post-conditioning have facilitated the development of DCD heart resuscitation strategies that can be used to minimize ischemia-reperfusion injury at the time of organ procurement. The availability of a clinically approved ex situ heart perfusion device now allows DCD heart preservation in a normothermic beating state and minimizes exposure to incremental cold ischemia. This technology also facilitates assessments of organ viability to be undertaken prior to transplantation, thereby minimizing the risk of primary graft dysfunction. The application of a tailored approach to DCD heart transplantation that focuses on organ resuscitation at the time of procurement, ex situ preservation, and pre-transplant assessments of organ viability has facilitated the successful clinical application of DCD heart transplantation. The transplantation of hearts from DCD donors is now a clinical reality. Investigating ways to optimize the resuscitation, preservation, evaluation, and long-term outcomes is vital to ensure a broader application of DCD heart transplantation in the future.

Selective Inhibition of Succinate Dehydrogenase in Reperfused Myocardium with Intracoronary Malonate Reduces Infarct Size. Sci Rep 2018; 8:2442.

Abstract
Inhibition of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) with malonate during reperfusion reduces infarct size in isolated mice hearts submitted to global ischemia. However, malonate has toxic effects that preclude its systemic administration in animals. Here we investigated the effect of intracoronary malonate on infarct size in pigs submitted to transient coronary occlusion. Under baseline conditions, 50 mmol/L of intracoronary disodium malonate, but not lower concentrations, transiently reduced systolic segment shortening in the region perfused by the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) in open-chest pigs. To assess the effects of SDH inhibition on reperfusion injury, saline or malonate 10 mmol/L were selectively infused into the area at risk in 38 animals submitted to ischemia-reperfusion. Malonate improved systolic shortening in the area at risk two hours after 15 min of ischemia (0.18 ± 0.07 vs 0.00 ± 0.01 a.u., p = 0.025, n = 3). In animals submitted to 40 min of ischemia, malonate reduced reactive oxygen species production (MitoSOX staining) during initial reperfusion and limited infarct size (36.46 ± 5.35 vs 59.62 ± 4.00%, p = 0.002, n = 11), without modifying reperfusion arrhythmias. In conclusion, inhibition of SDH with intracoronary malonate during early reperfusion limits reperfusion injury and infarct size in pigs submitted to transient coronary occlusion without modifying reperfusion arrhythmias or contractile function in distant myocardium.

Acta Physiol (Oxf) 2018; 222. [PMID: 28748611 DOI: 10.1111/apha.12924] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2017] [Revised: 05/31/2017] [Accepted: 07/24/2017] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
AIM Apelin, the ligand of the G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) APJ, exerts a post-conditioning-like protection against ischaemia/reperfusion injury through activation of PI3K-Akt-NO signalling. The pathway connecting APJ to PI3K is still unknown. As other GPCR ligands act through transactivation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) via a matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) or Src kinase, we investigated whether EGFR transactivation is involved in the following three features of apelin-induced cardioprotection: limitation of infarct size, suppression of contracture and improvement of post-ischaemic contractile recovery. METHOD Isolated rat hearts underwent 30 min of global ischaemia and 2 h of reperfusion. Apelin (0.5 μm) was infused during the first 20 min of reperfusion. EGFR, MMP or Src was inhibited to study the pathway connecting APJ to PI3K. Key components of RISK pathway, namely PI3K, guanylyl cyclase or mitochondrial K+ -ATP channels, were also inhibited. Apelin-induced EGFR and phosphatase and tensing homolog (PTEN) phosphorylation were assessed. Left ventricular pressure and infarct size were measured. RESULTS Apelin-induced reductions in infarct size and myocardial contracture were prevented by the inhibition of EGFR, Src, MMP or RISK pathway. The involvement of EGFR was confirmed by its phosphorylation. However, neither direct EGFR nor MMP inhibition affected apelin-induced improvement of early post-ischaemic contractile recovery, which was suppressed by Src and RISK inhibitors only. Apelin also increased PTEN phosphorylation, which was removed by Src inhibition. CONCLUSION While EGFR and MMP limit infarct size and contracture, Src or RISK pathway inhibition suppresses the three features of cardioprotection. Src does not only transactivate EGFR, but also inhibits PTEN by phosphorylation thus playing a crucial role in apelin-induced cardioprotection.

Down Syndrome Critical Region 1 Gene, Rcan1, Helps Maintain a More Fused Mitochondrial Network. Circ Res 2018; 122:e20-e33.

Abstract
RATIONALE The regulator of calcineurin 1 (RCAN1) inhibits CN (calcineurin), a Ca2+-activated protein phosphatase important in cardiac remodeling. In humans, RCAN1 is located on chromosome 21 in proximity to the Down syndrome critical region. The hearts and brains of Rcan1 KO mice are more susceptible to damage from ischemia/reperfusion (I/R); however, the underlying cause is not known. OBJECTIVE Mitochondria are key mediators of I/R damage. The goal of these studies was to determine the impact of RCAN1 on mitochondrial dynamics and function. METHODS AND RESULTS Using both neonatal and isolated adult cardiomyocytes, we show that, when RCAN1 is depleted, the mitochondrial network is more fragmented because of increased CN-dependent activation of the fission protein, DRP1 (dynamin-1-like). Mitochondria in RCAN1-depleted cardiomyocytes have reduced membrane potential, O2 consumption, and generation of reactive oxygen species, as well as a reduced capacity for mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake. RCAN1-depleted cardiomyocytes were more sensitive to I/R; however, pharmacological inhibition of CN, DRP1, or CAPN (calpains; Ca2+-activated proteases) restored protection, suggesting that in the absence of RCAN1, CAPN-mediated damage after I/R is greater because of a decrease in the capacity of mitochondria to buffer cytoplasmic Ca2+. Increasing RCAN1 levels by adenoviral infection was sufficient to enhance fusion and confer protection from I/R. To examine the impact of more modest, and biologically relevant, increases in RCAN1, we compared the mitochondrial network in induced pluripotent stem cells derived from individuals with Down syndrome to that of isogenic, disomic controls. Mitochondria were more fused, and O2 consumption was greater in the trisomic induced pluripotent stem cells; however, coupling efficiency and metabolic flexibility were compromised compared with disomic induced pluripotent stem cells. Depletion of RCAN1 from trisomic induced pluripotent stem cells was sufficient to normalize mitochondrial dynamics and function. CONCLUSIONS RCAN1 helps maintain a more interconnected mitochondrial network, and maintaining appropriate RCAN1 levels is important to human health and disease.

Abstract
Acute myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is a significant, unsolved clinical puzzle. In the disease context of acute myocardial infarction, reperfusion remains the only effective strategy to salvage ischemic myocardium, but it also causes additional damage. Myocardial I/R injury is composed of four types of damage, and these events attenuate the benefits of reperfusion therapy. Thus, inventing new strategies to conquer I/R injury is an unmet clinical need. A variety of pathological processes and mediators, including changes in the pH, generation of reactive oxygen radicals, and intracellular calcium overload, are proposed to be crucial in I/R-related cell injury. Among the intracellular events that occur during I/R, we stress the importance of protein phosphorylation signaling and elaborate its regulation. A variety of protein kinase pathways could be activated in I/R, including reperfusion injury salvage kinase and survivor-activating factor enhancement pathways, which are critical to cardiomyocyte survival. In addition to serine/threonine phosphorylation signaling, protein tyrosine phosphorylation is also critical in multiple cell functions and survival. However, the roles of protein kinases and phosphatases in I/R have not been extensively studied yet. By better understanding the mechanisms of I/R injury, we may have a better chance to develop new strategies for I/R injury and apply them in the clinical patient care.

Abstract
Excessive levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and impaired Ca2+ homeostasis play central roles in the development of multiple cardiac pathologies, including cell death during ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. In several organs, treatment with 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2-APB) was shown to have protective effects, generally believed to be due to Ca2+ channel inhibition. However, the mechanism of 2-APB-induced cardioprotection has not been fully investigated. Herein we investigated the protective effects of 2-APB treatment against cardiac pathogenesis and deciphered the underlying mechanisms. In neonatal rat cardiomyocytes, treatment with 2-APB was shown to prevent hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) -induced cell death by inhibiting the increase in intracellular Ca2+ levels. However, no 2-APB-sensitive channel blocker inhibited H2O2-induced cell death and a direct reaction between 2-APB and H2O2 was detected by 1H-NMR, suggesting that 2-APB chemically scavenges extracellular ROS and provides cytoprotection. In a mouse I/R model, treatment with 2-APB led to a considerable reduction in the infarct size after I/R, which was accompanied by the reduction in ROS levels and neutrophil infiltration, indicating that the anti-oxidative properties of 2-APB plays an important role in the prevention of I/R injury in vivo as well. Taken together, present results indicate that 2-APB treatment induces cardioprotection and prevents ROS-induced cardiomyocyte death, at least partially, by the direct scavenging of extracellular ROS. Therefore, administration of 2-APB may represent a promising therapeutic strategy for the treatment of ROS-related cardiac pathology including I/R injury.

[PMID: 29089467 PMCID: PMC5700273 DOI: 10.1042/bsr20171249] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2017] [Revised: 10/23/2017] [Accepted: 10/26/2017] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective: Previous studies have demonstrated Stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1)-mediated store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) contributes to intracellular Ca2+ accumulation. The present study aimed to investigate the expression of STIM1 and its downstream molecules Orai1/TRPC1 in the context of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (MIRI) and the effect of STIM1 inhibition on Ca2+ accumulation and apoptosis in H9c2 cardiomyocytes subjected to hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R). Methods: Expression of STIM1/Orai1/TRPC1 was determined by RT-PCR and Western blot in mice subjected to MIRI and H9C2 cardiomyocytes subjected to H/R. To knock-down STIM1, H9C2 cardiomyocytes was transfected with Stealth SiRNA. Apoptosis was analyzed by both flow cytometry and TUNEL assay. Cell viability was measured by MTT assay. Intracellular Ca2+ concentration was detected by laser scanning confocal microscopy using Fluo-3/AM probe. Furthermore, the opening of mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) was assessed by coloading with calcein AM and CoCl2, while ROS generation was evaluated using the dye DCFH-DA in H9C2 cardiomyocytes. Results: Expression of STIM1/Orai1/TRPC1 significantly increased in transcript and translation level after MIRI in vivo and H/R in vitro. In H9C2 cardiomyocytes subjected to H/R, intracellular Ca2+ accumulation significantly increased compared with control group, along with enhanced mPTP opening and elevated ROS generation. However, suppression of STIM1 by SiRNA significantly decreased apoptosis and intracellular Ca2+ accumulation induced by H/R in H9C2 cardiomyocytes, accompanied by attenuated mPTP opening and decreased ROS generation. In addition, suppression of STIM1 increased the Bcl-2/Bax ratio, decreased Orai1/TRPC1, and cleaved caspase-3 expression. Conclusion: Suppression of STIM1 reduced intracellular calcium level and attenuated hypoxia/reoxygenation induced apoptosis in H9C2 cardiomyocytes. Our findings provide a new perspective in understanding STIM1-mediated calcium overload in the setting of MIRI.

Abstract
Purpose: To investigate the protective mechanisms of propofol (Pro) on renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury by studying its impact on renal I/R endoplasmic reticulum stress. Methods: Eighteen male Sprague-Dawley rats (SD rats) were randomly divided into three groups: the I/R group, the Pro pretreatment group, and the control group, and corresponding treatments were performed. The levels of serum creatinine (Cr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) of each group were detected. The expression levels of CCAAT-enhancer-binding protein (C/EBP) homology protein (CHOP) and caspase-12 protein within renal tissue samples were detected by western blot. Results: The periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining was performed to observe the morphological changes within the renal tissues, and the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay was performed to detect the presence of renal apoptosis. The Pro pretreatment significantly reduced the serum Cr and BUN levels, as well as the expressions levels of CHOP and caspase-12 protein inside the kidney of I/R rats, improving renal pathological injury and reducing the I/R-induced renal apoptosis. Conclusion: Propofol could downregulate the expression of stress-apoptotic proteins CHOP and caspase-12 in the endoplasmic reticulum, thus reducing renal I/R injury.

PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2017; 35:18-26. [PMID: 28991641 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2017.08.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2016] [Revised: 07/12/2017] [Accepted: 08/20/2017] [Indexed: 06/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The sweetener and hypoglycemic properties of stevioside (STV) are well known, as the main component of the plant Stevia rebaudiana. Given its extensive use in diabetic patients, it was of interest to evaluate its effects on the most frequent cardiovascular disease, the coronary insufficiency. PURPOSE To study whether STV could be cardioprotective against ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in a model of "stunning" in rat hearts. STUDY DESIGN A preclinical study was performed in isolated hearts from rats in the following groups: non-treated rats whose hearts were perfused with STV 0.3 mg/ml and their controls (C) exposed to either moderate stunning (20 min I/45 min R) or severe stunning (30 min I/45 min R), and a group of rats orally treated with STV 25 mg/kg/day in the drink water during 1 week before the experiment of severe stunning in the isolated hearts were done. METHODS The mechano-calorimetrical performance of isolated beating hearts was recorded during stabilization period with control Krebs perfusion inside a calorimeter, with or without 0.3 mg/ml STV before the respective period of I/R. The left ventricular maximal developed pressure (P) and total heat rate (Ht) were continuously measured. RESULTS Both, orally administered and perfused STV improved the post-ischemic contractile recovery (PICR, as % of initial control P) and the total muscle economy (P/Ht) after the severe stunning, but only improved P/Ht in moderate stunning. However, STV increased the diastolic pressure (LVEDP) during I/R in both stunning models. For studying the mechanism of action, ischemic hearts were reperfused with 10 mM caffeine-36 mM Na+-Krebs to induce a contracture dependent on sarcorreticular Ca2+ content, whose relaxation mainly depends on mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake. STV at 0.3 mg/ml increased the area-under-curve of the caffeine-dependent contracture (AUC-LVP). Moreover, at room temperature STV increased the mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake measured by Rhod-2 fluorescence in rat cardiomyocytes, but prevented the [Ca2+]m overload assessed by caffeine-dependent SR release. CONCLUSIONS Results suggest that STV is cardioprotective against I/R under oral administration or direct perfusion in hearts. The mechanism includes the regulation of the myocardial calcium homeostasis and the energetic during I/R in several sites, mainly reducing mitochondrial Ca2+ overload and increasing the sarcorreticular Ca2+ store.

Blood flow restriction training as a prehabilitation concept in total knee arthroplasty: A narrative review about current preoperative interventions and the potential impact of BFR. Med Hypotheses 2017; 110:53-59. [PMID: 29317069 DOI: 10.1016/j.mehy.2017.10.029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2017] [Accepted: 10/28/2017] [Indexed: 01/09/2023]
Abstract
Osteoarthritis of the knee is one of the most commonly diagnosed joint ailments and responsible for increased rates of total knee arthroplasty surgeries worldwide. Whereas the surgical approach is able to diminish the perceived knee pain of concerned patients', the postoperative recovery is often accompanied by persistent skeletal muscle dysfunctions and atrophy, which is responsible for functional deficits for up to several years. Recent findings indicate that surgery induced adverse effects on skeletal muscles are largely associated with the use of pneumatic tourniquets, wherefore several studies try to reduce tourniquet use in orthopedic surgery. However, due to comparable incidence of muscle impairment and increased surgical challenge, the most frequently applied surgical technique in TKA is still associated with the use of tourniquets. When attenuating TKA induced adverse effects, the preoperative preparation of patients by specific exercises (called prehabilitation) was able to enhance preoperative overall fitness through associated accelerated recovery. Based on patients' limited functional activity, prehabilitation techniques have to be particularly designed to allow regular adherence. The present paper is based on a narrative review of current literature, and provides a novel hypothesis by which blood flow restriction exercises (BFR) are able to improve patients' compliance to prehabilitation. BFR training is characterized by the application of low-resistance exercise with similar intensities as daily living tasks in association with a suppression of venous blood flow in an extremity, achieving significant morphological and neuromuscular adaptations in skeletal muscles. In addition, preoperative enhancements in muscle health with corresponding benefits in overall fitness, BFR induced molecular alterations could also be able to interfere with TKA induced pathological signaling. Therefore, based on the known major impact of BFR on skeletal muscle physiology, the present paper aims to illustrate the potential beneficial impact of BFR training as a prehabilitation concept to promote patients regular adherence to preoperative exercises and thus achieve an accelerated recovery and increases in patients' satisfaction.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to analyze the effect of diltiazem on myocardial fibrosis and remodeling of connexin43 (Cx43) in myocardial ischemic rats and mechanisms underlying these processes. A total of 36 Sprague‑Dawley rats were randomly allocated into three groups (control, isoproterenol and isoproterenol with diltiazem). The myocardial ischemic model was established by 5 mg/kg/day isoproterenol administration for 7 days, and the diltiazem group received 25 mg/kg/day diltiazem for 4 weeks. Following the treatment, paraffin sections were prepared to observe microstructural changes and to evaluate the concentration of Ca2+ in myocardium. The expression of transforming growth factors‑β1 (TGF‑β1), mothers against decapentaplegic homologues (Smad)2 and 7 and Cx43, were analyzed by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blotting. The percentage Cx43 expression in intercalated disks was evaluated using immunohistochemistry. Fibrosis did not differ significantly between the control and the diltiazem‑treated group. The concentration of Ca2+ increased in the myocardium of model rats. The expression of Smad7 and Cx43 was decreased in the rat model, while the expression of TGF‑β1 and Smad2 was increased. There was a significant decrease in the relative abundance of intercalated disk Cx43 in the model group. The results of the present study suggest that diltiazem may serve a protective role during remodeling of myocardial ischemia, especially in fibrosis and Cx43 remodeling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the role of tilianin in modulating mitochondrial functions and mitochondria-mediated apoptosis during cardio-protection. MATERIAL AND METHODS Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury was induced by 30 minutes coronary occlusion followed by two hours reperfusion in Sprague-Dawley rats. To investigate the cardio-protective effects of tilianin, apoptosis was evaluated by TUNEL. Mitochondrial ultrastructure and function were assessed by transmission electron microscopy, dynamics of mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) opening and ATP production in the myocardium; Ca2+ content and reactive oxygen species (ROS) were measured to evaluated the level of damage factors in the mitochondria. The related apoptotic proteins were analyzed through immunoblot. RESULTS Pretreatment with tilianin significantly reduced apoptosis after I/R injury in rats (p<0.05). In addition, tilianin could alleviate mitochondrial damage, markedly inhibited mPTP opening and improved ATP production (p<0.05). There was also a significant reduction for content of Ca2+ and ROS in the mitochondria (p<0.01). Apoptosis protein analysis found that treatment with tilianin led to the downregulation of apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) (p<0.01), and suppressed the leakage of cytochrome c and activation of caspase-3 (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS This study showed that tilianin can alleviate apoptosis of cardiomyocytes and protect myocardium, possibly via the protection of mitochondria and repression of mitochondrial apoptotic pathways. Mechanistically, inhibition of Ca2+ overload, mPTP opening, and ROS production in mitochondria may explain the observed tilianin-mediated treatment effects.

Abstract
Growing number of studies provide strong evidence that the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (PTP), a non-selective channel in the inner mitochondrial membrane, is involved in the pathogenesis of cardiac ischemia-reperfusion and can be targeted to attenuate reperfusion-induced damage to the myocardium. The molecular identity of the PTP remains unknown and cyclophilin D is the only protein commonly accepted as a major regulator of the PTP opening. Therefore, cyclophilin D is an attractive target for pharmacological or genetic therapies to reduce ischemia-reperfusion injury in various animal models and humans. Most animal studies demonstrated cardioprotective effects of PTP inhibition; however, a recent large clinical trial conducted by international groups demonstrated that cyclosporine A, a cyclophilin D inhibitor, failed to protect the heart in patients with myocardial infarction. These studies, among others, raise the question of whether cyclophilin D, which plays an important physiological role in the regulation of cell metabolism and mitochondrial bioenergetics, is a viable target for cardioprotection. This review discusses previous studies to provide comprehensive information on the physiological role of cyclophilin D as well as PTP opening in the cell that can be taken into consideration for the development of new PTP inhibitors.

The gap junction modifier ZP1609 decreases cardiomyocyte hypercontracture following ischaemia/reperfusion independent from mitochondrial connexin 43. Br J Pharmacol 2017; 174:2060-2073. [PMID: 28369703 PMCID: PMC5466543 DOI: 10.1111/bph.13804] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2016] [Revised: 03/13/2017] [Accepted: 03/16/2017] [Indexed: 01/13/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Dysregulation of gap junction-mediated cell coupling contributes to development of arrhythmias and myocardial damage after ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R). Connexin 43 (Cx43) is present at ventricular gap junctions and also in the mitochondria of cardiomyocytes. The dipeptide (2S, 4R)-1-(2-aminoacetyl)-4-benzamidopyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid (ZP1609) has antiarrhythmic properties and reduces infarct size when given at reperfusion. However, it is unclear, whether ZP1609 targets Cx43-containing mitochondria and affects cardiomyocyte hypercontracture following I/R. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH We studied the effects of ZP1609 on the function of murine sub-sarcolemmal mitochondria (SSM, containing Cx43) and interfibrillar mitochondria (IFM, lacking Cx43). Murine isolated cardiomyocytes were subjected to simulated I/R without and with ZP1609 (applied during I/R or at the onset of reperfusion only), and the number of cardiomyocytes undergoing hypercontracture was quantified. Biochemical pathways targeted by ZP1609 in cardiomyocytes were analysed. KEY RESULTS ZP1609 inhibited ADP-stimulated respiration and ATP production in SSM and IFM. ROS formation and calcium retention capacities in SSM and IFM were not affected by ZP1609, whereas potassium uptake was enhanced in IFM. The number of rod-shaped cardiomyocytes was increased by ZP1609 (10 μM) when administered either during I/R or reperfusion. ZP1609 altered the phosphorylation of proteins contributing to the protection against I/R injury. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS ZP1609 reduced mitochondrial respiration and ATP production, but enhanced potassium uptake of IFM. Additionally, ZP1609 reduced the extent of cardiomyocytes undergoing hypercontracture following I/R. The protective effect was independent of mitochondrial Cx43, as ZP1609 exerts its effects in Cx43-containing SSM and Cx43-lacking IFM.

Abstract
In the cardiovascular system, Ca2+ controls cardiac excitation-contraction coupling and vascular contraction and dilation. Disturbances in intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis induce malfunctions of the cardiovascular system, including cardiac pump dysfunction, arrhythmia, remodeling, and apoptosis, as well as hypertension and impairment of vascular reactivity. Therefore, developing drugs and strategies manipulating Ca2+ handling are highly valued in the treatment of cardiovascular disease. Resveratrol (Res) and polydatin (PD), a Res glucoside, have been well established to have beneficial effects on improving cardiovascular function. Studies from our laboratory and others have demonstrated that they exhibit inotropic effects on normal heart and therapeutic effects on hypertension, cardiac ischemia/reperfusion injury, hypertrophy, and heart failure by manipulating Ca2+ mobilization. The actions of Res and PD on Ca2+ signals delicately manipulated by multiple Ca2+ -handling proteins are pleiotropic and somewhat controversial, depending on cellular species and intracellular oxidative status. Here, we focus on the effects of Res and PD on controlling Ca2+ homeostasis in the heart and vasculature under normal and diseased conditions and highlight the key direct and indirect molecules mediating these effects.

Abstract
Endurance exercise training promotes numerous cellular adaptations in both cardiac myocytes and skeletal muscle fibers. For example, exercise training fosters changes in mitochondrial function due to increased mitochondrial protein expression and accelerated mitochondrial turnover. Additionally, endurance exercise training alters the abundance of numerous cytosolic and mitochondrial proteins in both cardiac and skeletal muscle myocytes, resulting in a protective phenotype in the active fibers; this exercise-induced protection of cardiac and skeletal muscle fibers is often referred to as "exercise preconditioning." As few as 3-5 consecutive days of endurance exercise training result in a preconditioned cardiac phenotype that is sheltered against ischemia-reperfusion-induced injury. Similarly, endurance exercise training results in preconditioned skeletal muscle fibers that are resistant to a variety of stresses (e.g., heat stress, exercise-induced oxidative stress, and inactivity-induced atrophy). Many studies have probed the mechanisms responsible for exercise-induced preconditioning of cardiac and skeletal muscle fibers; these studies are important, because they provide an improved understanding of the biochemical mechanisms responsible for exercise-induced preconditioning, which has the potential to lead to innovative pharmacological therapies aimed at minimizing stress-induced injury to cardiac and skeletal muscle. This review summarizes the development of exercise-induced protection of cardiac myocytes and skeletal muscle fibers and highlights the putative mechanisms responsible for exercise-induced protection in the heart and skeletal muscles.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) is highly expressed in heart and vessels and can be activated during myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). Recently, we found that treatment with a selective TRPV4 antagonist HC-067047 significantly reduced infarct size, decreased troponin T levels and improved cardiac function in murine model myocardial I/R. This study was undertaken to investigate the mechanism underlying TRPV4-mediated myocardial I/R injury. To mimic myocardial I/R injury, we established a hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) model in H9C2 cells and neonatal rat ventricle myocytes (NRVMs) in vitro. TRPV4 mRNA and protein expression was confirmed in the H9C2 and NRVM, whereas functional TRPV4 activity was assessed from Ca2+ influx response to a TRPV4 agonist GSK1016790A. TRPV4 functional expression was significantly enhanced during H/R. Furthermore, H/R increased the intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) and induced cell injury, which were reversed by HC-067047 but was further aggravated by GSK1016790A. Moreover, HC-067047 treatment significantly alleviated the increase of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, the depolarization of mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψm) and the opening of mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) during H/R. On the contrary, GSK1016790A exacerbated those effects. Meanwhile, increase in [Ca2+]i and ROS induced by activation of TRPV4 was almost abolished when cells were cultured in Ca2+-free medium. In addition, ROS scavenger NAC obviously reversed activation of TRPV4-induced changes of Δψm and mPTP opening. Finally, we confirmed the direct roles of TRPV4 on cardiac injury and ROS generation in murine model myocardial I/R in vivo. In conclusion, activation of TRPV4 induces Ca2+ influx in cardiomyocytes, with subsequent ROS release, depolarizing of Δψm, opening mPTP, inducing injury and TRPV4 has key roles during I/R via these pathways.

Mitochondrial Cx43 hemichannels contribute to mitochondrial calcium entry and cell death in the heart. Basic Res Cardiol 2017; 112:27. [PMID: 28364353 DOI: 10.1007/s00395-017-0618-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 90] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2016] [Accepted: 03/30/2017] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
Mitochondrial connexin 43 (Cx43) plays a key role in cardiac cytoprotection caused by repeated exposure to short periods of non-lethal ischemia/reperfusion, a condition known as ischemic preconditioning. Cx43 also forms calcium (Ca2+)-permeable hemichannels that may potentially lead to mitochondrial Ca2+ overload and cell death. Here, we studied the role of Cx43 in facilitating mitochondrial Ca2+ entry and investigated its downstream consequences. To that purpose, we used various connexin-targeting peptides interacting with extracellular (Gap26) and intracellular (Gap19, RRNYRRNY) Cx43 domains, and tested their effect on mitochondrial dye- and Ca2+-uptake, electrophysiological properties of plasmalemmal and mitochondrial Cx43 channels, and cell injury/cell death. Our results in isolated mice cardiac subsarcolemmal mitochondria indicate that Cx43 forms hemichannels that contribute to Ca2+ entry and may trigger permeability transition and cell injury/death. RRNYRRNY displayed the strongest effects in all assays and inhibited plasma membrane as well as mitochondrial Cx43 hemichannels. RRNYRRNY also strongly reduced the infarct size in ex vivo cardiac ischemia-reperfusion studies. These results indicate that Cx43 contributes to mitochondrial Ca2+ homeostasis and is involved in triggering cell injury/death pathways that can be inhibited by RRNYRRNY peptide.
