Abstract
Background There is evidence that remote limb ischemic postconditioning (RIPostC) can reduce ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) and improve the prognosis of patients with ischemic stroke. However, so far, only few relevant clinical studies have been conducted. Therefore, we carried out a meta-analysis of eligible randomized controlled trials to compare the RIPostC group with a control group (no intervention or sham surgery) in patients with ischemic stroke. Methods Four English-language publication databases, PubMed, Cochrane, Embase, and Web of Science, were systematically searched up to March 2022. The data were analyzed using Review Manager fixed-effects and random-effects models. Results A total of 12 studies were included, and 11 of those were analyzed quantitatively. Compared to controls, The RIPostC group showed significantly reduced NIHHS scores in patients with ischemic stroke, (MD: −1.09, 95% confidence interval [CI]: −1.60, −0.57, P < 0.0001) and improved patients' Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scores, (MD: 1.89, 95% CI: 0.78, 3.00, P = 0.0009), Our results showed that RIPostC is safe, (RR = 0.81, 95%CI: 0.61, 1.08, P = 0.15). Conclusion Our meta-analysis showed that RIPostC is safe and effective and has a positive cerebral protective effect in patients with ischemic stroke, which is safe and effective, and future large-sample, multicenter trials are needed to validate the cerebral protective effect of RIPostC.

Abstract
Bradykinin (BK) is an active component of the kallikrein-kinin system that has been shown to have cardioprotective and neuroprotective effects. We previously showed that BK postconditioning strongly protects rat hippocampal neurons upon restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) after cardiac arrest. However, the precise mechanism underlying this process remains poorly understood. In this study, we treated a rat model of ROSC after cardiac arrest (induced by asphyxiation) with 150 μg/kg BK via intraperitoneal injection 48 hours after ROSC following cardiac arrest. We found that BK postconditioning effectively promoted the recovery of rat neurological function after ROSC following cardiac arrest, increased the amount of autophagosomes in the hippocampal tissue, inhibited neuronal cell apoptosis, up-regulated the expression of autophagy-related proteins LC3 and NBR1 and down-regulated p62, inhibited the expression of the brain injury marker S100β and apoptosis-related protein caspase-3, and affected the expression of adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase/mechanistic target of rapamycin pathway-related proteins. Adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase inhibitor compound C clearly inhibited BK-mediated activation of autophagy in rats after ROSC following cardiac arrest, which aggravated the injury caused by ROSC. The mechanistic target of rapamycin inhibitor rapamycin enhanced the protective effects of BK by stimulating autophagy. Our findings suggest that BK postconditioning protects against injury caused by ROSC through activating the adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase/mechanistic target of the rapamycin pathway.

Abstract
Ischemia–reperfusion injury (IRI) is one of the biggest challenges for cardiovascular researchers given the huge death toll caused by myocardial ischemic disease. Cardioprotective conditioning strategies, namely pre- and post-conditioning maneuvers, represent the most important strategies for stimulating pro-survival pathways essential to preserve cardiac health. Conditioning maneuvers have proved to be fundamental for the knowledge of the molecular basis of both IRI and cardioprotection. Among this evidence, the importance of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) emerged. STAT3 is not only a transcription factor but also exhibits non-genomic pro-survival functions preserving mitochondrial function from IRI. Indeed, STAT3 is emerging as an influencer of mitochondrial function to explain the cardioprotection phenomena. Studying cardioprotection, STAT3 proved to be crucial as an element of the survivor activating factor enhancement (SAFE) pathway, which converges on mitochondria and influences their function by cross-talking with other cardioprotective pathways. Clearly there are still some functional properties of STAT3 to be discovered. Therefore, in this review, we highlight the evidence that places STAT3 as a promoter of the metabolic network. In particular, we focus on the possible interactions of STAT3 with processes aimed at maintaining mitochondrial functions, including the regulation of the electron transport chain, the production of reactive oxygen species, the homeostasis of Ca2+ and the inhibition of opening of mitochondrial permeability transition pore. Then we consider the role of STAT3 and the parallels between STA3/STAT5 in cardioprotection by conditioning, giving emphasis to the human heart and confounders.

Abstract
Sevoflurane postconditioning (SPostC) has been proved effective in cardioprotection against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury. It was also reported that heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) could be induced by sevoflurane, which played a crucial role in hypoxic/reoxygenation (HR) injury of cardiomyocytes. However, the mechanism by which sevoflurane protects cardiomyocytes via HSP70 is still not understood. Here, we aimed to investigate the related mechanisms of SPostC inducing HSP70 expression to reduce the HR injury of cardiomyocytes. After the HR cardiomyocytes model was established, the cells transfected with siRNA for HSP70 (siHSP70) or not were treated with sevoflurane during reoxygenation. The lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level was detected by colorimetry while cell viability and apoptosis were detected by MTT and flow cytometry. Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and Western blotting were used to detect HSP70, apoptosis-, cell cycle-associated factors, iNOS, and Cox-2 expressions. Enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD). SPostC decreased apoptosis, cell injury, oxidative stress and inflammation and increased viability of HR-induced cardiomyocytes. In addition, SPostC downregulated Bax and cleaved caspase-3 levels, while SPostC upregulated Bcl-2, CDK-4, Cyclin D1, and HSP70 levels. SiHSP70 had the opposite effect that SPostC had on HR-induced cardiomyocytes. Moreover, siHSP70 further reversed the effect of SPostC on apoptosis, cell injury, oxidative stress, inflammation, viability and the expressions of HSP70, apoptosis-, and cell cycle-associated factors in HR-induced cardiomyocytes. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that SPostC can reduce the HR injury of cardiomyocytes by inducing HSP70 expression.

Abstract
Metal ions are important trace elements in the human body, which directly affect the human metabolism and the regeneration of damaged tissues. For instance, the advanced combination of magnesium ions (Mg2+) and bone repair materials make the composite materials have the function of promoting vascular repair and enhancing the adhesion of osteoblasts. Herein, inspired by magnets to attract metals, we utilized the coordination reaction of metal ion ligand to construct a bisphosphonate-functionalized injectable hydrogel microsphere (GelMA-BP-Mg) which could promote cancellous bone reconstruction of osteoporotic bone defect via capturing Mg2+. By grafting bisphosphonate (BP) on GelMA microspheres, GelMA-BP microspheres could produce powerful Mg2+ capture ability and sustained release performance through coordination reaction, while sustained release BP has bone-targeting properties. In the injectable GelMA-BP-Mg microsphere system, the atomic percentage of captured Mg2+ was 0.6%, and the captured Mg2+ could be effectively released for 18 days. These proved that the composite microspheres could effectively capture Mg2+ and provided the basis for the composite microspheres to activate osteoblasts and endothelial cells and inhibit osteoclasts. Both in vivo and in vitro experimental results revealed that the magnet-inspired Mg2+-capturing composite microspheres are beneficial to osteogenesis and angiogenesis by stimulating osteoblasts and endothelial cells while restraining osteoclasts, and ultimately effectively promote cancellous bone regeneration. This study could provide some meaningful conceptions for the treatment of osteoporotic bone defects on the basis of metal ions.

Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease that rapidly spread throughout the world leading to high mortality rates. Despite the knowledge of previous diseases caused by viruses of the same family, such as MERS and SARS-CoV, management and treatment of patients with COVID-19 is a challenge. One of the best strategies around the world to help combat the COVID-19 has been directed to drug repositioning; however, these drugs are not specific to this new virus. Additionally, the pathophysiology of COVID-19 is highly heterogeneous, and the way of SARS-CoV-2 modulates the different systems in the host remains unidentified, despite recent discoveries. This complex and multifactorial response requires a comprehensive therapeutic approach, enabling the integration and refinement of therapeutic responses of a given single compound that has several action potentials. In this context, natural compounds, such as Curcumin, have shown beneficial effects on the progression of inflammatory diseases due to its numerous action mechanisms: antiviral, anti-inflammatory, anticoagulant, antiplatelet, and cytoprotective. These and many other effects of curcumin make it a promising target in the adjuvant treatment of COVID-19. Hence, the purpose of this review is to specifically point out how curcumin could interfere at different times/points during the infection caused by SARS-CoV-2, providing a substantial contribution of curcumin as a new adjuvant therapy for the treatment of COVID-19.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is defined as the damage to the tissue which is caused when blood supply returns to tissue after ischaemia. To protect the ischaemic tissue from irreversible injury, various protective agents have been studied but the benefits have not been clinically applicable due to monotargeting, low potency, late delivery or poor tolerability. KEY FINDINGS Strategies involving preconditioning or postconditioning can address the issues related to the failure of protective therapies. In principle, postconditioning (PoCo) is clinically more applicable in the conditions in which there is unannounced ischaemic event. Moreover, PoCo is an attractive beneficial strategy as it can be induced rapidly at the onset of reperfusion via series of brief I/R cycles following a major ischaemic event or it can be induced in a delayed manner. Various pharmacological postconditioning (pPoCo) mechanisms have been investigated systematically. Using different animal models, most of the studies on pPoCo have been carried out preclinically. SUMMARY However, there is a need for the optimization of the clinical protocols to quicken pPoCo clinical translation for future studies. This review summarizes the involvement of various receptors and signalling pathways in the protective mechanisms of pPoCo.

Abstract
Ischemic heart diseases (IHD) are the leading cause of death worldwide. Although the principal form of treatment of IHD is myocardial reperfusion, the recovery of coronary blood flow after ischemia can cause severe and fatal cardiac dysfunctions, mainly due to the abrupt entry of oxygen and ionic deregulation in cardiac cells. The ability of these cells to protect themselves against injury including ischemia and reperfusion (I/R), has been termed “cardioprotection”. This protective response can be stimulated by pharmacological agents (adenosine, catecholamines and others) and non-pharmacological procedures (conditioning, hypoxia and others). Several intracellular signaling pathways mediated by chemical messengers (enzymes, protein kinases, transcription factors and others) and cytoplasmic organelles (mitochondria, sarcoplasmic reticulum, nucleus and sarcolemma) are involved in cardioprotective responses. Therefore, advancement in understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the cardioprotective response can lead to the development of new pharmacological and non-pharmacological strategies for cardioprotection, thus contributing to increasing the efficacy of IHD treatment. In this work, we analyze the recent advances in pharmacological and non-pharmacological strategies of cardioprotection.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To test the effect of long-term pegfilgrastim on collateral function and myocardial ischaemia in patients with chronic stable coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS This was a prospective clinical trial with randomized 2:1 allocation to pegfilgrastim or placebo for 6 months. The primary study endpoint was collateral flow index (CFI) as obtained during a 1-minute ostial coronary artery balloon occlusion. CFI is the ratio of mean coronary occlusive divided by mean aortic pressure both subtracted by central venous pressure (mm Hg/mm Hg). Secondary endpoints were signs of myocardial ischaemia determined during the same coronary occlusion, that is quantitative intracoronary (i.c.) ECG ST-segment shift (mV) and the occurrence of angina pectoris. Endpoints were obtained at baseline before and at follow-up after three subcutaneous study drug injections. RESULTS Collateral flow index in the pegfilgrastim group changed from 0.096 ± 0.076 at baseline to 0.126 ± 0.070 at follow-up (P = 0.0039), while in the placebo group CFI changed from 0.157 ± 0.146 to 0.122 ± 0.043, respectively (P = 0.29); the CFI increment at follow-up was +0.030 ± 0.075 in the pegfilgrastim group and -0.034 ± 0.148 in the placebo group (P = 0.0172). In the pegfilgrastim group, i.c. ECG ST-segment shift changed from +1.23 ± 1.01 mV at baseline to +0.93 ± 0.97 mV at follow-up (P = 0.0049), and in the placebo group, it changed from +0.98 ± 1.02 mV to +1.43 ± 1.09 mV, respectively (P = 0.05). At follow-up, the fraction of patients free from angina pectoris during coronary occlusion had increased in the pegfilgrastim but not in the placebo group. CONCLUSION Pegfilgrastim given over the course of 6 months improves collateral function in chronic stable CAD, which is reflected by reduced myocardial ischaemia during a controlled coronary occlusion.

Abstract
Macrophage activation plays a central role in neoatherosclerosis and in‐stent restenosis after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Galectin‐3, mainly expressed on macrophages, is an important regulator of inflammation. This study aimed to investigate the effects of berberine (BBR) on oxidized low‐density lipoprotein (ox‐LDL)‐induced macrophage activation and galectin‐3 expression and their underlying mechanisms. THP‐1‐derived macrophages were pretreated with BBR prior to stimulation with ox‐LDL. Galectin‐3 expression was measured by real‐time PCR, Western blotting, and confocal microscopy. Macrophage activation was assessed by lipid accumulation, expression of inflammatory cytokines, and CD11b and CD86. Plasma galectin‐3 levels were measured in patients undergoing PCI at baseline and after BBR treatment for 3 months. BBR suppressed ox‐LDL‐induced upregulation of galectin‐3 and macrophage activation. Overexpression of galectin‐3 intervened the inhibitory effect of BBR on macrophage activation. BBR activated phospho‐AMPK and inhibited phospho‐NF‐κB p65 nuclear translocation. AMPK inhibition and NF‐κB activation abolished the inhibitory effects of BBR on galectin‐3 expression and macrophage activation. Combination of BBR and rosuvastatin exerted greater effects than BBR or rosuvastatin alone. However, BBR treatment did not further reduce plasma galectin‐3 after PCI in patients receiving standard therapy. In conclusion, BBR alleviates ox‐LDL‐induced macrophage activation by downregulating galectin‐3 via the NF‐κB and AMPK signaling pathways.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the cardioprotective effects of ischemic preconditioning (preIC) and postconditioning (postIC) in animal model of cardiac ischemia/reperfusion. METHODS Adult rats were submitted to protocol of cardiac ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) and randomized into three experimental groups: cardiac I/R (n=33), preCI + cardiac I/R (n=7) and postCI + cardiac I/R (n=8). After this I/R protocol, the incidence of ventricular arrhythmia (VA), atrioventricular block (AVB) and lethality (LET) was evaluated using the electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis. RESULTS After reestablishment of coronary blood flow, we observed variations of the ECG trace with increased incidence of ventricular arrhythmia (VA) (85%), atrioventricular block (AVB) (79%), and increase of lethality (70%) in cardiac I/R group. The comparison between I/R + preIC group with I/R group demonstrated significant reduction in VA incidence to 28%, AVB to 0% and lethality to 14%. The comparison of I/R + postIC group with I/R group was observed significance reduction in AVB incidence to 25% and lethality to 25%. CONCLUSION The preconditioning strategies produce cardioprotection more efficient that postconditioning against myocardial dysfunctions and lethality by cardiac ischemia and reperfusion.

The Effects of Potassium Cyanide on the Functional Recovery of Isolated Rat Hearts after Ischemia and Reperfusion: The Role of Oxidative Stress. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2018; 2018:5979721. [PMID: 30116485 PMCID: PMC6079363 DOI: 10.1155/2018/5979721] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2018] [Revised: 05/16/2018] [Accepted: 06/06/2018] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
This investigation is aimed at examining the effects of pharmacological PostC with potassium cyanide (KCN) on functional recovery, gene expression, cytochrome c expression, and redox status of isolated rat hearts. Rats were divided into the control and KCN groups. The hearts of male Wistar albino rats were retrogradely perfused according to the Langendorff technique at a constant perfusion pressure of 70 cmH2O. After stabilisation, control hearts were subjected to global ischemia (5 minutes), followed by reperfusion (5 minutes), while experimental hearts underwent global ischemia (5 minutes) followed by 5 minutes of reperfusion with 10 μmol/L KCN. The following parameters of heart function were measured: maximum and minimum rates of pressure development, systolic and diastolic left ventricular pressure, heart rate, and coronary flow. Levels of superoxide anion radical, hydrogen peroxide, nitrites, and index of lipid peroxidation (measured as thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances) were measured in coronary venous effluent, and activity of catalase was determined in heart tissue. Expression of Bax, Bcl-2, SOD-1, SOD-2, and cytochrome c was studied as well. It was shown that expression of Bax, Bcl-2, and SOD-2 genes did not significantly differ between groups, while expression of SOD-1 gene and cytochrome c was lower in the KCN group. Our results demonstrated that KCN improved the recovery of myocardial contractility and systolic and diastolic function, enhanced catalase activity, and diminished generation of prooxidants. However, all possible mechanisms and potential adverse effects of KCN should be further examined in the future.

Abstract
Cerebral ischemia and stroke are increasing in prevalence and are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in both developed and developing countries. Despite the progress in endovascular treatment, ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury is an important contributor to post-surgical mortality and morbidity affecting a wide range of neurointerventional procedures. However, pharmacological recruitment of effective cerebral protective signaling has been largely disappointing to date. In remote ischemic conditioning (RIC), repetitive transient mechanical obstruction of vessels at a limb remote from the IR injury site protects vital organs from IR injury and confers infarction size reduction following prolonged arterial occlusion. Results of pharmacologic agents appear to be species specific, while RIC is based on the neuroprotective influences of phosphorylated protein kinase B, signaling proteins, nitric oxide, and transcriptional activators, the benefits of which have been confirmed in many species. Inducing RIC protection in patients undergoing cerebral vascular surgery or those who are at high risk of brain injury has been the subject of research and has been enacted in clinical settings. Its simplicity and non-invasive nature, as well as the flexibility of the timing of RIC stimulus, also makes it feasible to apply alongside neurointerventional procedures. Furthermore, despite nonuniform RIC protocols, emerging literature demonstrates improved clinical outcomes. The aims of this article are to summarize the potential mechanisms underlying different forms of conditioning, to explore the current translation of this paradigm from laboratory to neurovascular diseases, and to outline applications for patient care.

Abstract
The response to ischemia/reperfusion and the effects of ischemic post-conditioning (IPC) are sex-dependent, but the mechanisms have not been clarified. Male (M) and female (F) rat hearts isolated and perfused using the Langendorff technique were subject to 30 min of global ischemia (GI) and 60 min reperfusion (R). In IPC hearts, three cycles of 30-sec GI/30-sec R were applied at the beginning of R. Infarct size and myocardial function were assessed. Superoxide production, antioxidant systems, and expressions of phosphorylated forms of serine/threonine kinase (Akt), glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK-3β), protein kinase C ε (PKCε), endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), and apoptosis were measured. In the basal state, superoxide production and apoptosis were lower, and antioxidant systems and phospho-kinase expressions were higher in F rather than in M hearts. After ischemia-reperfusion, infarct size was less in F hearts, and post-ischemic recovery of myocardial function was higher in F rather than in M hearts. Superoxide production, phospho-kinase activity, phospho-eNOS, and apoptosis increased in both sexes while antioxidants decreased in both sexes. After IPC, infarct size, superoxide production, and apoptosis decreased and phospho-eNOS increased in F and M hearts but phospho-kinase expressions and post-ischemic recovery of myocardial function improved only in M hearts. These results show that Akt/GSK-3β/PKCε/eNOS-dependent pathways-mediated superoxide production and apoptosis appear as important factors involved in the observed gender differences.

Abstract
An as-yet limited body of evidence suggests that calcium-regulating endocrine hormones-in particular, parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTHrP)-may have unappreciated cardioprotective effects. The current review focuses on the concept that PTHrP may, via modulation of classic cardioprotective signaling pathways, provide a novel strategy to attenuate myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Abstract
A number of animal models have been designed in order to unravel the underlying mechanisms of acute ischemia-induced arrhythmias and to test compounds and interventions for antiarrhythmic therapy. This is important as acute myocardial infarction (AMI) continues to be the major cause of sudden cardiac death, and we are yet to discover safe and effective treatments of the lethal arrhythmias occurring in the acute setting. Animal models therefore continue to be relevant for our understanding and treatment of acute ischemic arrhythmias. This review discusses the applicability of the rat as a model for ventricular arrhythmias occurring during the acute phase of AMI. It provides a description of models developed, advantages and disadvantages of rats, as well as an overview of the most important interventions investigated and the relevance for human pathophysiology.

Abstract
Generation of free radicals through incomplete reduction of oxygen during ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) is well described. On the other hand, molecular hydrogen (H2) reduces oxidative stress due to its ability to react with strong oxidants and easily penetrate cells by diffusion, without disturbing metabolic redox reactions. This study was designed to explore cardioprotective potential of hypoxic postconditioning (HpostC) against I/R (30 min global I - 120 min R) in isolated rat hearts using oxygen-free Krebs-Henseleit buffer (KHB). Furthermore, the possibility to potentiate the effect of HpostC by H2 using oxygen-free KHB saturated with H2 (H2 + HpostC) was tested. HPostC was induced by 4 cycles of 1-minute perfusion with oxygen-free KHB intercepted by 1-minute perfusion with normal KHB, at the onset of reperfusion. H2 + HPostC was applied in a similar manner using H2-enriched oxygen-free KHB. Cardioprotective effects were evaluated on the basis of infarct size (IS, in % of area at risk, AR) reduction, post-I/R recovery of heart function, and occurrence of reperfusion arrhythmias. HPostC significantly reduced IS/AR compared with non-conditioned controls. H2 present in KHB during HPostC further decreased IS/AR compared with the effect of HPostC, attenuated severe arrhythmias, and significantly restored heart function (vs. controls). Cardioprotection by HpostC can be augmented by molecular hydrogen infusion.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the sphingosine analogue, FTY720 (Fingolimod), on the outcomes of myocardial ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. METHODS Two concentrations of FTY720 (1 or 2.5 µM were administered either prior to (PreFTY), or following (PostFTY) 20 minutes' global (GI) or 35 minutes' regional ischaemia (RI) in the isolated, perfused, working rat heart. Functional recovery during reperfusion was assessed following both models of ischaemia, while infarct size (IFS) was determined following RI. RESULTS FTY720 at 1 µM exerted no effect on functional recovery, while 2.5 µM significantly impaired aortic output (AO) recovery when administered prior to GI (% recovery: control: 33.88 ± 6.12% vs PreFTY: 0%, n = 6-10; p < 0.001), as well as before and after RI ( % recovery: control: 27.86 ± 13.22% vs PreFTY: 0.62% ; p < 0.05; and PostFTY: 2.08%; p = 0.0585, n = 6). FTY720 at 1 µM administered during reperfusion reduced IFS (% of area at risk (AAR): control: 39.89 ± 3.93% vs PostFTY: 26.56 ± 4.32%, n = 6-8; p < 0.05), while 2.5 µM FTY720 reduced IFS irrespective of the time of administration ( % of AAR: control: 39.89 ± 3.93% vs PreFTY: 29.97 ± 1.03% ; and PostFTY: 30.45 ± 2.16%, n = 6; p < 0.05). CONCLUSION FTY720 exerted divergent outcomes on function and tissue survival depending on the concentration administered, as well as the timing of administration.

Abstract
Mitophagy occurs during ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) and limits oxidative stress and injury. Mitochondrial turnover was assessed in patients undergoing cardiac surgery involving cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Paired biopsies of right atrial appendage before initiation and after weaning from CPB were processed for protein analysis, mitochondrial DNA/nuclear DNA ratio (mtDNA:nucDNA ratio), mtDNA damage, mRNA, and polysome profiling. Mitophagy in the post-CPB samples was evidenced by decreased levels of mitophagy adapters NDP52 and optineurin in whole tissue lysate, decreased Opa1 long form, and translocation of Parkin to the mitochondrial fraction. PCR analysis of mtDNA comparing amplification of short vs. long segments of mtDNA revealed increased damage following cardiac surgery. Surprisingly, a marked increase in several mitochondria-specific protein markers and mtDNA:nucDNA ratio was observed, consistent with increased mitochondrial biogenesis. mRNA analysis suggested that mitochondrial biogenesis was traniscription independent and likely driven by increased translation of existing mRNAs. These findings demonstrate in humans that both mitophagy and mitochondrial biogenesis occur during cardiac surgery involving CPB. We suggest that mitophagy is balanced by mitochondrial biogenesis during I/R stress experienced during surgery. Mitigating mtDNA damage and elucidating mechanisms regulating mitochondrial turnover will lead to interventions to improve outcome after I/R in the setting of heart disease.

Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate the effects of remifentanil during adaptation followinsg myocardial ischemia, and its possible clinical applications. Remifentanil was used during the simulation of adaptation following ischemia, which was performed using a Langendorff heart perfusion system. A total of 75 rats were divided into five groups, and the coronary flow, cardiac output and the cardiac enzyme content in coronary effluent prior to ischemia and post-reperfusion were recorded. Electron microscopy was used to observe myocardial ultrastructure, and the volume of aortic and coronary effluent was also measured. The recovery of cardiac output upon reperfusion was significantly higher following remifentanil treatment (91%), as compared with the ischemic control group (78%; P<0.05). The coronary flow of the experimental group following reperfusion decreased by 4 ml/min compared with the control group not exposed to ischemia, whilst the coronary flow of the ischemic control group was reduced by 20-24 ml/min. Flameng scoring of the mitochondria demonstrated improved mitochondrial ultrastructure following remifentanil treatment (score, 1.25±0.31), as compared the ischemic control group (score, 3.14±0.17). Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels in the remifentanil-treated group were significantly lower at 10 and 30 min post-reperfusion (15.3±7.1 and 10.2±6.8 U/l, respectively), as compared with the control group (29.7±8.3 and 20.6±6.8 U/l, respectively; P<0.05). The results of the present study suggested that the application of remifentanil following ischemia protected heart function via the opioid receptors by reducing myocardial enzyme release, and attenuating ischemia-induced changes to the myocardial cell and mitochondrial structure.

Effects of Renal Ischemic Postconditioning on Myocardial Ultrastructural Organization and Myocardial Expression of Bcl-2/Bax in Rabbits. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2017; 2016:9349437. [PMID: 28097153 PMCID: PMC5206426 DOI: 10.1155/2016/9349437] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2016] [Revised: 11/10/2016] [Accepted: 11/17/2016] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
We investigated the cardioprotective effect of renal ischemic postconditioning (RI-PostC) and its mechanisms in a rabbit model. Rabbits underwent 60 min of left anterior descending coronary artery occlusion (LADO) and 6 h of reperfusion. The ischemia-reperfusion (IR) group underwent LADO and reperfusion only. In the RI-PostC group, the left renal artery underwent 3 cycles of occlusion for 30 seconds and release for 30 seconds, before the coronary artery was reperfused. In the RI-PostC + GF109203X group, the rabbits received 0.05 mg/kg GF109203X (protein kinase C inhibitor) intravenously for 10 min followed by RI-PostC. Light microscopy and electron microscopy demonstrated that the RI-PostC group showed less pronounced changes, a smaller infarct region, and less apoptosis than the other two groups. Bcl-2 and Bax protein expression did not differ between the IR and RI-PostC + GF109203X groups. However, in the RI-PostC group, Bcl-2 protein expression was significantly higher and Bax protein expression was significantly lower than in the other two groups (P < 0.05). Changes in heart rate and mean arterial pressure were also smaller in the RI-PostC group than in the other two groups. These results indicate that RI-PostC can ameliorate myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury and increase the Bcl-2/Bax ratio through a mechanism involving protein kinase C.

Understanding pacing postconditioning-mediated cardiac protection: a role of oxidative stress and a synergistic effect of adenosine. J Physiol Biochem 2016; 73:175-185.

Abstract
We and others have demonstrated a protective role for pacing postconditioning (PPC) against ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in the heart; however, the underlying mechanisms behind these protective effects are not completely understood. In this study, we wanted to further characterize PPC-mediated cardiac protection, specifically identify optimal pacing sites; examine the role of oxidative stress; and test the existence of a potential synergistic effect between PPC and adenosine. Isolated rat hearts were subjected to coronary occlusion followed by reperfusion. PPC involved three, 30 s, episodes of alternating left ventricular (LV) and right atrial (RA) pacing. Multiple pacing protocols with different pacing electrode locations were used. To test the involvement of oxidative stress, target-specific agonists or antagonists were infused at the beginning of reperfusion. Hemodynamic data were digitally recorded, and cardiac enzymes, oxidant, and antioxidant status were chemically measured. Pacing at the LV or RV but not at the heart apex or base significantly (P < 0.001) protected against ischemia-reperfusion injury. PPC-mediated protection was completely abrogated in the presence of reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenger, ebselen; peroxynitrite (ONOO-) scavenger, uric acid; and nitric oxide synthase inhibitor, L-NAME. Nitric oxide (NO) donor, snap, however significantly (P < 0.05) protected the heart against I/R injury in the absence of PPC. The protective effects of PPC were significantly improved by adenosine. PPC-stimulated protection can be achieved by alternating LV and RA pacing applied at the beginning of reperfusion. NO, ROS, and the product of their interaction ONOO- play a significant role in PPC-induced cardiac protection. Finally, the protective effects of PPC can be synergized with adenosine.

Abstract
In our laboratory, postconditioning reliably reduces lethal ventricular arrhythmias in an in vivo rat model but its effect on necrosis in our model is unknown. In the present analysis, we tested a variety of postconditioning regimens in anesthetized rats subjected to 45 minutes of coronary occlusion and 120 minutes of reperfusion or 30 minutes of coronary occlusion and 120 minutes of reperfusion. In all studies, area at risk was determined by the blue dye technique and area of necrosis was assessed with triphenyl tetrazolium chloride staining and computerized planimetry of ventricular slices. Postconditioning regimens included 4 cycles of 10 seconds of reperfusion/10 seconds of reocclusion, 4 cycles of 20 seconds of reperfusion/20 seconds of reocclusion, 8 cycles of 30 seconds of reperfusion/30 seconds of reocclusion, and 20 cycles of 10 seconds of reperfusion/10 seconds of reocclusion. Postconditioning did not reduce myocardial infarct size with any of these regimens.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The optimal oxygen administration strategy during resuscitation from hemorrhagic shock (HS) is still controversial. Improving oxygenation and mitigating oxidative stress simultaneously seem to be contradictory goals. To maximize oxygen delivery while minimizing oxidative damage, the authors proposed the notion of gradually increased oxygen administration (GIOA), which entails making the arterial blood hypoxemic early in resuscitation and subsequently gradually increasing to hyperoxic, and compared its effects with normoxic resuscitation, hyperoxic resuscitation, and hypoxemic resuscitation in severe HS. METHODS Rats were subjected to HS, and on resuscitation, the rats were randomly assigned to four groups (n = 8): the normoxic, the hyperoxic, the hypoxemic, and the GIOA groups. Rats were observed for an additional 1 h. Hemodynamics, acid-base status, oxygenation, and oxidative injury were observed and evaluated. RESULTS Central venous oxygen saturation promptly recovered only in the hyperoxic and the GIOA groups, and the liver tissue partial pressure of oxygen was highest in the GIOA group after resuscitation. Oxidative stress in GIOA group was significantly reduced compared with the hyperoxic group as indicated by the reduced malondialdehyde content, increased catalase activity, and the lower histologic injury scores in the liver. In addition, the tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-6 expressions in the liver were markedly decreased in the GIOA group than in the hyperoxic and normoxic groups as shown by the immunohistochemical staining. CONCLUSIONS GIOA improved systemic/tissue oxygenation and mitigated oxidative stress simultaneously after resuscitation from severe HS. GIOA may be a promising strategy to improve resuscitation from HS and deserves further investigation.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of the ANG-(1-7) receptor (Mas) and nitric oxide (NO) in pacing postconditiong (PPC)-mediated cardioprotection against ischemia-reperfusion injury. Cardiac contractility and hemodynamics were assessed using a modified Langendorff system, cardiac damage was assessed by measuring infarct size and creatinine kinase levels, and levels of phosphorylated and total endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) were determined by Western blot analysis. Isolated hearts were subjected to 30 min of regional ischemia, produced by fixed position ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery, followed by 30 min of reperfusion (n = 6). Hearts were also subjected to PPC (three cycles of 30 s of left ventricular pacing alternated with 30 s of right atrial pacing) and/or treated during reperfusion with ANG-(1-7), N(G)-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester, or the Mas antagonist (d-Ala7)-ANG I/II (1-7). The PPC-mediated improvement in cardiac contractility and hemodyanamics, cardiac damage, and eNOS phosphorylation were significantly attenuated upon treatment with (d-Ala7)-ANG I/II (1-7) or N(G)-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester. Treatment with ANG-(1-7) improved cardiac function and reduced infarct size and creatinine kinase levels; however, the effects of ANG-(1-7) were not additive with PPC. In conclusion, these data provide novel insights into the cardioprotective mechanisms of PPC in that they involve the Mas receptor and eNOS and further suggest a potential therapeutic role for ANG-(1-7) in cardiac ischemic injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Remote ischaemic post-conditioning (RIPoC) in which transient episodes of ischaemia (e.g. by inflation and deflation of a blood pressure cuff) are applied after a prolonged ischaemia/reperfusion injury, may have the potential to improve patient outcome and survival following cardiac arrest. In this study we employed a pig model of cardiac arrest and successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation to evaluate the effects of RIPoC on haemodynamics, cardiac tissue damage and neurologic deficit. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 22 pigs were subjected to ventricular fibrillation, cardiopulmonary resuscitation and randomly assigned to Control or RIPoC treatment consisting of 4 cycles of 5 min femoral artery occlusion followed by 5 min of reperfusion starting 10min after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). Post-resuscitation was evaluated by haemodynamics using left ventricular conductance catheters, quantification of cardiac troponin T (cTnT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and creatine kinase (CK). Neurological testing was performed 24h after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). RESULTS RIPoC resulted in a statistically significant reduction of serum cTnT levels 4h after ROSC (P ≤ 0.01). LDH and CK concentrations were significantly lower in RIPoC treated pigs 24h after ROSC (P ≤ 0.001), suggesting tissue and/or cardioprotective effects of RIPoC. End-systolic pressure volume relationship was significantly increased in RIPoC treated animals 4h after ROSC (P ≤ 0.05). Neurological testing revealed a trend towards an improved outcome in RIPoC treated animals. CONCLUSIONS We propose that RIPoC applied immediately after ROSC reduces serum concentrations of markers for cell damage and improves end-systolic pressure volume relationship 4h after ROSC.

Abstract
Background Ischemic postconditioning (IPostC), has been proposed as a useful approach to reduce infarct size in all species, but its clinical utility remains unclear. Objective To investigate the role played by the protocol used on the efficacy of IPostC in protecting the diseased human myocardium. Methods Myocardial atrial samples from patients were subjected to a 90 min ischemia/120 min reoxygenation followed by different IPostC protocols to investigate the role of the time of ischemia (30, 60, 90 and 120 s) and the number of cycles (1, 2, 3 and 4) with 60 and 120 s of total ischemic time. Muscles were also subjected to ischemic preconditioning (IPreC). The release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and the measurement of tetrazolium bromide (MTT) were determined. Results IPostC increased the LDH and decreased the MTT values from those of control, independently of the duration of the conditioning ischemia. LDH and MTT values also worsened by augmenting the number of IPostC cycles whereas they were significantly improved by IPreC. However, analysis of individual results indicated that in approximately 1/3 of the cases IPostC exhibited some degree of protection especially in the presence of increased ischemic injury. Conclusions The present findings show that IPostC of the human myocardium may be influenced by the protocol used and also by the degree of the preceding ischemic injury. IPostC was beneficial in approximately 1/3 of the cases; however in the remaining cases it increased ischemic damage and, therefore, these results raise a word of caution on its broad clinical use.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rapid and complete reperfusion has been widely adopted in the treatment of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), but this process sometimes can cause severe reperfusion injury. This study aimed to investigate different patterns of post-conditioning in acute myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, and to detect the role of mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) during the injury. METHODS RATS WERE RANDOMLY DIVIDED INTO FIVE GROUPS: sham group, reperfusion injury (R/ I) group, gradually decreased reperfusion group (GDR group, 30/10-25/15-15/25-10/30 seconds of reperfusion/ischemia), equal reperfusion group (ER group, 20/20 seconds reperfusion/ischemia, 4 cycles), and gradually increased reperfusion group (GIR group, 10/30-15/25-25/15-30/10 seconds of reperfusion/ischemia). Acute myocardial infarction and ischemic post-conditioning models were established in the rats. Six hours after reperfusion, 3 rats from each group were sacrificed and myocardial tissues were taken to measure the expressions of phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (P-ERK), phosphorylated c-Jun N-terminal kinase (P-JNK), mitogen-activated protein kinase p38 (p38 MAPK), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), caspases-8 in the myocardial tissue, and cytochrome c in the cytosol using Western blot. Hemodynamics was measured at 24 hours after reperfusion, the blood was drawn for the determination of cardiac enzymes, and the heart tissue was collected for the measurement of apoptosis using TUNEL. One-way analysis of variance and the Q test were employed to determine differences in individual variables between the 5 groups. RESULTS Three post-conditioning patterns were found to provide cardioprotection (P<0.05) compared with R/I without postconditioning. GIR provided the best cardioprotection effect, followed by ER and then GDR. Apoptotic index and serum marker levels were reduced more significantly in GIR than in ER (P<0.05). The enhanced cardioprotection provided by GIR was accompanied with significantly increased levels of P-ERK 1/2 (1.82±0.22 vs. 1.54±0.32, P<0.05), and lower levels of p-JNK, p38 MAPK, TNF-α, caspase-8, caspase-9 and cytochrome in the cytoplasm (P<0.05), compared with ER. The infarct size was smaller in the GIR group than in the ER group, but this difference was not significant (16.30%±5.22% vs. 20.57%±6.32%, P<0.05). All the measured variables were improved more significantly in the GIR group than in the GDR group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION Gradually increased reperfusion in post-conditioning could attenuate reperfusion injury more significantly than routine method, thereby the MAPK pathway plays an important role in this process.

Abstract
Endothelial cell dysfunction is the hallmark of every cardiovascular disease/condition, including atherosclerosis and ischemia/reperfusion injury. Fluid shear stress acting on the vascular endothelium is known to regulate cell homeostasis. Altered hemodynamics is thought to play a causative role in endothelial dysfunction. The dysfunction is associated with/preceded by mitochondrial oxidative stress. Studies by our group and others have shown that the form and/or function of the mitochondrial network are affected when endothelial cells are exposed to shear stress in the absence or presence of additional physicochemical stimuli. The present review will summarize the current knowledge on the interconnections among intracellular Ca2+ - nitric oxide - mitochondrial reactive oxygen species, mitochondrial fusion/fission, autophagy/mitophagy, and cell apoptosis vs. survival. More specifically, it will list the evidence on potential regulation of the above intracellular species and processes by the fluid shear stress acting on the endothelium under either physiological flow conditions or during reperfusion (following a period of ischemia). Understanding how the local hemodynamics affects mitochondrial physiology and the cell redox state may lead to development of novel therapeutic strategies for prevention or treatment of the endothelial dysfunction and, hence, of cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Depending on their concentrations, both nitric oxide (NO) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) take part either in myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury or in protection by ischemic and pharmacological preconditioning (Ipre) and postconditioning (Ipost). At the beginning of reperfusion, a transient release of NO is promptly scavenged by ROS to form the highly toxic peroxynitrite, which is responsible for a further increase of ROS through endothelial nitric oxide synthase uncoupling. The protective role of NO has suggested the use of NO donors to mimic Ipre and Ipost. However, NO donors have not always given the expected protection, possibly because they are responsible for the production of different amounts of ROS that depend on the amount of released NO. This review is focused on the role of the balance of NO and ROS in myocardial injury and its prevention by Ipre and Ipost and after the use of NO donors given with or without antioxidant compounds to mimic Ipre and Ipost.

Overexpression of the muscle-specific protein, melusin, protects from cardiac ischemia/reperfusion injury. Basic Res Cardiol 2014; 109:418.

Abstract
Melusin is a muscle-specific protein which interacts with β1 integrin cytoplasmic domain and acts as chaperone protein. Its overexpression induces improved resistance to cardiac overload delaying left ventricle dilation and reducing the occurrence of heart failure. Here, we investigated possible protective effect of melusin overexpression against acute ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury with or without Postconditioning cardioprotective maneuvers. Melusin transgenic (Mel-TG) mice hearts were subjected to 30-min global ischemia followed by 60-min reperfusion. Interestingly, infarct size was reduced in Mel-TG mice hearts compared to wild-type (WT) hearts (40.3 ± 3.5 % Mel-TG vs. 59.5 ± 3.8 % WT hearts; n = 11 animals/group; P < 0.05). The melusin protective effect was also demonstrated by measuring LDH release, which was 50 % lower in Mel-TG compared to WT. Mel-TG hearts had a higher baseline level of AKT, ERK1/2 and GSK3β phosphorylation, and displayed increased phospho-kinases level after I/R compared to WT mice. Post-ischemic Mel-TG hearts displayed also increased levels of the anti-apoptotic factor phospho-BAD. Importantly, pharmacological inhibition of PI3K/AKT (Wortmannin) and ERK1/2 (U0126) pathways abrogated the melusin protective effect. Notably, HSP90, a chaperone known to protect heart from I/R injury, showed high levels of expression in the heart of Mel-TG mice suggesting a possible collaboration of this molecule with AKT/ERK/GSK3β pathways in the melusin-induced protection. Postconditioning, known to activate AKT/ERK/GSK3β pathways, significantly reduced IS and LDH release in WT hearts, but had no additive protective effects in Mel-TG hearts. These findings implicate melusin as an enhancer of AKT and ERK pathways and as a novel player in cardioprotection from I/R injury.

Protein redox modification as a cellular defense mechanism against tissue ischemic injury. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2014; 2014:343154. [PMID: 24883175 PMCID: PMC4026984 DOI: 10.1155/2014/343154] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2014] [Accepted: 04/16/2014] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
Protein oxidative or redox modifications induced by reactive oxygen species (ROS) or reactive nitrogen species (RNS) not only can impair protein function, but also can regulate and expand protein function under a variety of stressful conditions. Protein oxidative modifications can generally be classified into two categories: irreversible oxidation and reversible oxidation. While irreversible oxidation usually leads to protein aggregation and degradation, reversible oxidation that usually occurs on protein cysteine residues can often serve as an “on and off” switch that regulates protein function and redox signaling pathways upon stress challenges. In the context of ischemic tolerance, including preconditioning and postconditioning, increasing evidence has indicated that reversible cysteine redox modifications such as S-sulfonation, S-nitrosylation, S-glutathionylation, and disulfide bond formation can serve as a cellular defense mechanism against tissue ischemic injury. In this review, I highlight evidence of cysteine redox modifications as protective measures in ischemic injury, demonstrating that protein redox modifications can serve as a therapeutic target for attenuating tissue ischemic injury. Prospectively, more oxidatively modified proteins will need to be identified that can play protective roles in tissue ischemic injury, in particular, when the oxidative modifications of such identified proteins can be enhanced by pharmacological agents or drugs that are available or to be developed.

Abstract
Little is known about role of Nitric Oxide (NO) of ischemic postconditioning in global cerebral ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) injury. In this study, we detected the dynamic change of NO during the ischemic postconditioning against global cerebral I/R in vivo, and compared the effects of six postconditioning conditions with different numbers of cycles and periods for reperfusion/occlusion. The animals underwent postconditioning consisting of 3 or 10 cycles of 15-s reperfusion, followed by 15-s occlusion (post-3-15/15, post-10-15/15), or 3 or 10 cycles of 30-s reperfusion/30-s occlusion (post-3-30/30, post-10-30/30), or 3 or 10 cycles of 60-s reperfusion/15-s occlusion (post-3-60/15, post-10-60/15). The results showed that four groups increased NO concentration, while all groups improved CBF significantly. Different postconditioning groups had different effects on NO and CBF. Post-3-30/30 had the strongest effect on both. Also it reduced infarct size from 33.0% to 24.29%, and downregulated the cell death ratio from 6.71% to 1.04%, showing the strongest protective effect among tested conditions. And we found that post-3-30/30 was an optional method in ischemic postconditioning, which obviously induced a large amount of NO synthesis with a slow speed, increased CBF and reduced the brain injuries. Therefore we concluded that NO is a reliable candidate in mediating ischemic postconditioning neuroprotection.

Reperfusion-induced myocardial dysfunction is prevented by endogenous annexin-A1 and its N-terminal-derived peptide Ac-ANX-A1(2-26). Br J Pharmacol 2014; 168:238-52. [PMID: 22924634 DOI: 10.1111/j.1476-5381.2012.02176.x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 49] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2011] [Revised: 07/19/2012] [Accepted: 07/26/2012] [Indexed: 01/19/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Annexin-A1 (ANX-A1) is an endogenous, glucocorticoid-regulated anti-inflammatory protein. The N-terminal-derived peptide Ac-ANX-A1(2-26) preserves cardiomyocyte viability, but the impact of ANX-A1-peptides on cardiac contractility is unknown. We now test the hypothesis that ANX-A1 preserves post-ischaemic recovery of left ventricular (LV) function. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Ac-ANX-A1(2-26) was administered on reperfusion, to adult rat cardiomyocytes as well as hearts isolated from rats, wild-type mice and mice deficient in endogenous ANX-A1 (ANX-A1(-/-)). Myocardial viability and recovery of LV function were determined. KEY RESULTS Ischaemia-reperfusion markedly impaired both cardiomyocyte viability and recovery of LV function by 60%. Treatment with exogenous Ac-ANX-A1(2-26) at the onset of reperfusion prevented cardiomyocyte injury and significantly improved recovery of LV function, in both intact rat and wild-type mouse hearts. Ac-ANX-A1(2-26) cardioprotection was abolished by either formyl peptide receptor (FPR)-nonselective or FPR1-selective antagonists, Boc2 and cyclosporin H, but was relatively insensitive to the FPR2-selective antagonist QuinC7. ANX-A1-induced cardioprotection was associated with increased phosphorylation of the cell survival kinase Akt. ANX-A1(-/-) exaggerated impairment of post-ischaemic recovery of LV function, in addition to selective LV FPR1 down-regulation. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS These data represent the first evidence that ANX-A1 affects myocardial function. Our findings suggest ANX-A1 is an endogenous regulator of post-ischaemic recovery of LV function. Furthermore, the ANX-A1-derived peptide Ac-ANX-A1(2-26) on reperfusion rescues LV function, probably via activation of FPR1. ANX-A1-based therapies may thus represent a novel clinical approach for the prevention and treatment of myocardial reperfusion injury.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the impact of ischaemic pre-conditioning (Ipre) and post-conditioning (Ipost) on expression of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) gene and its dependent genes, haem oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and NADPH-quinone oxidoreductase-1 (NQO-1); inflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL1β and ICAM-1; and apoptotic markers such as caspase-3 in renal ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. METHODS One hundred and fifty male Sprague Dawley rats were classified into five groups (each consisted of 30 rats): sham, control (I/R), Ipre + I/R, Ipre without I/R and Ipost + I/R. Serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) were measured at 2, 24 and 48 h after ischaemia. In kidney tissues, mRNA of Nrf2, HO-1, NQO-1, TNF-α, IL-1β and ICAM-1 and immunohistochemical expression of Nrf2 and caspase-3 were assessed. RESULTS Serum creatinine and BUN improved significantly in Pre + I/R group; however, they did not show any significant improvement in Post + I/R group. Also, Ipre-I/R group showed non-significant change in serum creatinine and BUN. The expression of Nrf2, HO-1 and NQO-1 is increased significantly in Pre + I/R and Pre - I/R groups, while the enhancement in Post + I/R group was non-significant. Moreover, the expression of proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1 and ICAM-1) and apoptotic (caspase-3) markers showed high significant attenuation in Pre + I/R group, but slight significant attenuation in Pre + I/R group. CONCLUSION The renoprotective action of Ipre might include early activation and enhanced expression of Nrf2 gene and its dependent antioxidant genes, HO-1 and NOQ1, as endogenous adaptive renoprotective genes, as well as reduction in TNF-α, IL-1β, ICAM-1 and caspase-3.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is the primary cause of morbidity and mortality among the diabetic population. Both experimental and clinical evidence suggest that diabetic subjects are predisposed to a distinct cardiomyopathy, independent of concomitant macro- and microvascular disorders. 'Diabetic cardiomyopathy' is characterized by early impairments in diastolic function, accompanied by the development of cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, myocardial fibrosis and cardiomyocyte apoptosis. The pathophysiology underlying diabetes-induced cardiac damage is complex and multifactorial, with elevated oxidative stress as a key contributor. We now review the current evidence of molecular disturbances present in the diabetic heart, and their role in the development of diabetes-induced impairments in myocardial function and structure. Our focus incorporates both the contribution of increased reactive oxygen species production and reduced antioxidant defenses to diabetic cardiomyopathy, together with modulation of protein signaling pathways and the emerging role of protein O-GlcNAcylation and miRNA dysregulation in the progression of diabetic heart disease. Lastly, we discuss both conventional and novel therapeutic approaches for the treatment of left ventricular dysfunction in diabetic patients, from inhibition of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone-system, through recent evidence favoring supplementation of endogenous antioxidants for the treatment of diabetic cardiomyopathy. Novel therapeutic strategies, such as gene therapy targeting the phosphoinositide 3-kinase PI3K(p110α) signaling pathway, and miRNA dysregulation, are also reviewed. Targeting redox stress and protective protein signaling pathways may represent a future strategy for combating the ever-increasing incidence of heart failure in the diabetic population.

Abstract
Despite surgical proficiency and innovation driving low mortality rates in cardiac surgery, the disease severity, comorbidity rate, and operative procedural difficulty have increased. Today's cardiac surgery patient is older, has a "sicker" heart and often presents with multiple comorbidities; a scenario that was relatively rare 20 years ago. The global challenge has been to find new ways to make surgery safer for the patient and more predictable for the surgeon. A confounding factor that may influence clinical outcome is high K(+) cardioplegia. For over 40 years, potassium depolarization has been linked to transmembrane ionic imbalances, arrhythmias and conduction disturbances, vasoconstriction, coronary spasm, contractile stunning, and low output syndrome. Other than inducing rapid electrochemical arrest, high K(+) cardioplegia offers little or no inherent protection to adult or pediatric patients. This review provides a brief history of high K(+) cardioplegia, five areas of increasing concern with prolonged membrane K(+) depolarization, and the basic science and clinical data underpinning a new normokalemic, "polarizing" cardioplegia comprising adenosine and lidocaine (AL) with magnesium (Mg(2+)) (ALM™). We argue that improved cardioprotection, better outcomes, faster recoveries and lower healthcare costs are achievable and, despite the early predictions from the stent industry and cardiology, the "cath lab" may not be the place where the new wave of high-risk morbid patients are best served.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate whether a gradually increasing reperfusion algorithm, in which the brief reperfusion was lengthened as the duration of each reperfusion/reocclusion cycle remained fixed, enhances cardioprotection. Rats were randomized into 5 groups: the sham, reperfusion injury (R/I), gradually decreased reperfusion (GDR; 30/10‑25/15‑15/25‑10/30 sec of reperfusion/reocclusion), equal reperfusion (ER; 4 20/20‑sec reperfusion/reocclusion cycles) and gradually increased reperfusion (GIR; 10/30‑15/25‑25/15‑30/10 sec of reperfusion/reocclusion). The rats were sacrificed to measure serum markers, apoptotic indices and infarct size. Western blot analyses were used to analyze the expression of molecules involved in important signaling pathways. All the three postconditioning patterns were found to provide cardioprotection (P<0.05 compared with the R/I group). GIR provided optimum cardioprotection, followed by ER and then GDR. Apoptotic index and serum marker levels were significantly reduced in the GIR compared with the ER group (P<0.05). The enhanced cardioprotection provided by GIR was accompanied by significantly increased levels of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) phosphorylation and Bcl‑2, as well as lower levels of p38/c‑Jun N‑terminal kinase (JNK) phosphorylation, tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα), caspase‑8, Bax, caspase‑9 and cytochrome c (Cyt‑c) in the cytoplasm of rats (P<0.05, all compared with ER). The infarct size in the rats of the GIR group was also smaller compared with that in the rats of the ER group, but this difference was not significant (16.30±5.22 vs. 20.57±6.32%, P>0.05). All the variables measured in the present study were significantly improved in the GIR group compared with the GDR group (P<0.05). In conclusion, the association between brief reperfusion and reocclusion is an important factor in postconditioning algorithms. Additionally, GIR results in improved cardioprotection compared with that achieved by the remaining algorithms examined.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Curcumin, the natural yellow pigment extracted from the rhizomes of the plant curcuma longa, has been demonstrated to exhibit a variety of potent beneficial effects, acting as an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic. In this study we tested the hypothesis that curcumin attenuates maladaptive cardiac repair and improves cardiac function after ischaemia and reperfusion by reducing degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM) and inhibiting synthesis of collagens via TGFβ/Smad-mediated signalling pathway. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to 45 min of ischaemia followed by 7, 21 and 42 days of reperfusion respectively. Curcumin was fed orally at a dose of 150 mg·kg(-1) ·day(-1) only during reperfusion. KEY RESULTS Curcumin reduced the level of malondialdehyde, inhibited activity of MMPs, preserved ECM from degradation and attenuated collagen deposition, as it reduced the extent of collagen-rich scar and increased mass of viable myocardium. In addition to reducing collagen synthesis and fibrosis in the ischaemic/reperfused myocardium, curcumin significantly down-regulated the expression of TGFβ1 and phospho-Smad2/3, and up-regulated Smad7 and also increased the population of α-smooth muscle actin expressing myofibroblasts within the infarcted myocardium relative to the control. Echocardiography showed it significantly improved left ventricular end-diastolic volume, stroke volume and ejection fraction. The wall thickness of the infarcted middle anterior septum in the curcumin group was also greater than that in the control group. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS Dietary curcumin is effective at inhibiting maladaptive cardiac repair and preserving cardiac function after ischaemia and reperfusion. Curcumin has potential as a treatment for patients who have had a heart attack.

Abstract
To investigate the cardioprotective effects of salidroside on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) in rabbits and the underlying action mechanisms in PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, a rabbit ischemia/reperfusion model was created by ligating the left anterior descending coronary arterial branch for 30 min and by releasing the ligature to allow reperfusion for 120 min. Salidroside or salidroside+PI3K inhibitor (LY294002) was administered via intracoronary injections at the onset of reperfusion. Apoptosis of cardiomyocytes was assessed by terminal dUTP nick-end labeling assay, and the expression of apoptosis-related proteins was observed by immunohistochemistry. The expressions of total Akt and phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt) were detected by western blot analysis. The results showed that intracoronary injection of salidroside at the onset of reperfusion markedly reduced the apoptosis of cardiomyocytes, significantly increasing Bcl-2 and p-Akt proteins expressions and decreasing Bax and caspase-3 expressions in the hearts subjected to ischemia followed by 120-min reperfusion. However, the anti-apoptotic effect induced by salidroside was inhibited by LY294002, which blocked the activation of Akt. These results suggested that intracoronary administration of salidroside at the onset of reperfusion could significantly reduce the IRI-induced apoptosis of cardiomyocytes, and this protective mechanism seemed to be mediated by the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway.

Abstract
Reperfusion therapy is the indispensable treatment of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and must be applied as soon as possible to attenuate the ischemic insult. However, reperfusion is responsible for additional myocardial damage likely involving opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP). A great part of reperfusion injury occurs during the first minute of reperfusion. The prolonged opening of mPTP is considered one of the endpoints of the cascade to myocardial damage, causing loss of cardiomyocyte function and viability. Opening of mPTP and the consequent oxidative stress due to reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) are considered among the major mechanisms of mitochondrial and myocardial dysfunction. Kinases and mitochondrial components constitute an intricate network of signaling molecules and mitochondrial proteins, which interact in response to stressors. Cardioprotective pathways are activated by stimuli such as preconditioning and postconditioning (PostC), obtained with brief intermittent ischemia or with pharmacological agents, which drastically reduce the lethal ischemia/reperfusion injury. The protective pathways converging on mitochondria may preserve their function. Protection involves kinases, adenosine triphosphate-dependent potassium channels, ROS signaling, and the mPTP modulation. Some clinical studies using ischemic PostC during angioplasty support its protective effects, and an interesting alternative is pharmacological PostC. In fact, the mPTP desensitizer, cyclosporine A, has been shown to induce appreciable protections in AMI patients. Several factors and comorbidities that might interfere with cardioprotective signaling are considered. Hence, treatments adapted to the characteristics of the patient (i.e., phenotype oriented) might be feasible in the future.
