Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have an equivocal role in myocardial ischaemia reperfusion injury. Within the cardiomyocyte, mitochondria are both a major source and target of ROS. We evaluate the effects of a selective, dose-dependent increase in mitochondrial ROS levels on cardiac physiology using the mitochondria-targeted redox cycler MitoParaquat (MitoPQ). Low levels of ROS decrease the susceptibility of neonatal rat ventricular myocytes (NRVMs) to anoxia/reoxygenation injury and also cause profound protection in an in vivo mouse model of ischaemia/reperfusion. However higher doses of MitoPQ resulted in a progressive alteration of intracellular [Ca2+] homeostasis and mitochondrial function in vitro, leading to dysfunction and death at high doses. Our data show that a primary increase in mitochondrial ROS can alter cellular function, and support a hormetic model in which low levels of ROS are cardioprotective while higher levels of ROS are cardiotoxic.

Abstract
The maximum gene exhibition was shown to be achieved at 48 h after transfection with human bcl-2 (hbcl-2) genes built in an SV40 early promoter-based plasmid vector and HVJ-liposome for cultured rat hepatocytes. The similar procedure of hbcl-2 transfection was therefore conducted for livers in rats via the portal vein, and after 48 h followed by post-ischemic reperfusion (I/R) operation for some hepatic lobes. The I/R-induced hepatic injuries were in situ observed as both cell morphological degeneration and cellular DNA strand cleavages around capillary vessels of the ischemic liver lobes as detected by HE stain and TUNEL assay, and were biochemically observed as release of two hepatic marker enzymes AST and ALT into serum. All the I/R-induced injuries examined were appreciably repressed for rats transfected with hbcl-2; hbcl-2 was expressed in hepatocytes around the capillaries of ischemic regions such as the median lobe and the left lobe, but scarcely around those of non-ischemic regions. Thus cytoprotection against I/R-induced injuries may be attributed to the I/R-promoted expression of transferred hbcl-2 genes. The possibility was examined firstly by methylphenylindole method, which showed that I/R-enhanced lipid peroxidation in the reference vector-transfected livers were markedly repressed in the hbcl-2-transfected livers. Contents of ascorbic acid (Asc) in serum and livers of hbcl-2-transfected rats were enriched, unexpectedly, versus those of non-transfected rats, and were as abundant as 1.90-fold and 1.95- to 2.60-fold versus those in the pre-ischemic state, respectively. After I/R, an immediate decline in serum Asc occurred in hbcl-2-transfectants, and was followed by prompt restoration up to the pre-ischemic Asc levels in contrast to the unaltered lower Asc levels in non-transfectants except a transient delayed increase. Hepatic Asc contents were also diminished appreciably at the initial stage after I/R in the ischemic lobes of hbcl-2-transfectants, which however retained more abundant Asc versus non-transfectants especially at the initial I/R stage when scavenging of the oxidative stress should be most necessary for cytoprotection. The results showed a close correlation between cytoprotection by exogenously transferred hbcl-2 and repressive effects on the lipid peroxidation associated with Asc consumption or redistribution.

Abstract
The reactive oxygen species (ROS) are known to be generated upon post-ischemic reperfusion (I/R) of the heart, and to injure cardiac muscle cells. The hydrogen peroxide-induced mortality of rat cardiomyoblasts H2c9 was markedly inhibited by previous administration with auto-oxidation-resistant pro-vitamin C, the 2-O-phosphorylated derivative (Asc2P) of ascorbic acid (Asc). The cytoprotection was partially counteracted by an inhibitor of MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase) kinase (MEK) as shown by DNA strand cleavage assay and mitochondrial dehydrogenase assay. Immunostains indicated that phosphorylated MAPK increased in the hydrogen peroxide-treated cardiomyoblasts, and that this action was moderately inhibited by Asc2P and restored nearly to the initial, pretreatment level by combined administration of the MEK inhibitor and Asc2P. The I/R-induced cell injuries in perfused rat hearts as estimated by extracellular release of the cardiac enzyme CPK were inhibited by 2-O-alpha-glucosylascorbic acid (Asc2G) and Asc, whereas the observed cytoprotection for the cardiomyoblasts was partially counteracted by the MEK inhibitor. The increase in phosphorylated MAPK in I/R-operated hearts was moderately inhibited by pro-vitamin C, but restored nearly to the normal non-operated level by combined administration with the MEK inhibitor. This is in contrast to no alteration in levels of non-phosphorylated MAPK for all the cases examined as shown by Western blots, consistent with results of immunostains for the cardiomyoblasts. The inhibitory effect of the MEK inhibitor on MAPK phosphorylation was, therefore, suggested to counteract the cytoprotective effects of pro-vitamin C via a thorough interruption of the phosphorylated MAPK signaling pathway. This was not true of ROS-related events; the scavenging effects of Asc2G and Asc on hydroxyl radicals generated from I/R-operated heart were not affected by combined administration with the MEK inhibitor, as shown by the spin-trapping DMPO-based ESR method.
