Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, and exercise-training (TRN) is known to reduce risk factors and protect the heart from ischemia and reperfusion injury. Though the cardioprotective effects of exercise are well-documented, underlying mechanisms are not well understood. This review highlights recent findings and focuses on cardiac factors with emphasis on K+ channel control of the action potential duration (APD), β-adrenergic and adenosine regulation of cardiomyocyte function, and mitochondrial Ca2+ regulation. TRN-induced prolongation and shortening of the APD at low and high activation rates, respectively, is discussed in the context of a reduced response of the sarcolemma delayed rectifier potassium channel (IK) and increased content and activation of the sarcolemma KATP channel. A proposed mechanism underlying the latter is presented, including the phosphatidylinositol-3kinase/protein kinase B pathway. TRN induced increases in cardiomyocyte contractility and the response to adrenergic agonists are discussed. The TRN-induced protection from reperfusion injury is highlighted by the increased content and activation of the sarcolemma KATP channel and the increased phosphorylated glycogen synthase kinase-3β, which aid in preventing mitochondrial Ca2+ overload and mitochondria-triggered apoptosis. Finally, a brief section is presented on the increased incidences of atrial fibrillation associated with age and in life-long exercisers.

Abstract
The opioid system involves opioid receptors (OPRs) and endogenous opioid peptides.This chapter will focus on the distribution of OPRs in the cardiovascular system, the expression pattern in the heart, the activation by opioid peptides, and the effects of OPRs activation with potential relevance in cardiovascular performance. In the heart, OPRs are co-expressed with beta adrenergic receptors (β-ARs) in the G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily, functionally cross-talk with β-Ars and modify catecholamine-induced effects. They are involved in cardiac contractility, energy metabolism, myocyte survival or death, vascular resistance. The effects of the opioid system in the regulation of systemic circulation at both the central and peripheral level are presented. The pathways are discussed under physiological (i.e., aging) and pathological conditions (atherosclerosis, heart failure, essential hypertension, ischemic stress). Stimulation of OPRs not only inhibits cardiac excitation-contraction coupling, but also protects the heart against hypoxic and ischemic injury. An enhanced sensitivity to opioids of endocrine organs and neuronal systems is operative in hypertensive patients. The opioid system can be pharmacologically engaged to selectively mimic these responses via cardiac and nervous signaling. The clinical opportunities for the use of cardioprotective effects of opioids require future investigations to provide more specific details of the impact on cardiac performance and electrophysiological properties.

Front Pharmacol 2021; 12:566470.

Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is an unavoidable injury that occurs during revascularization procedures. In the previous study, we reported that fisetin is a natural flavonoid that attenuates I/R injury by suppressing mitochondrial oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. Though fisetin is reported as a GSK3β inhibitor, it remains unclear whether it attenuates myocardial ischemia by activating the phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt) pathway, thereby inhibiting the downstream GSK3β, or by directly interacting with GSK3β while rendering its cardioprotection. In this study, the research team investigates the possible mechanism of action of fisetin while rendering its cardioprotective effect against myocardial I/R injury in rats. For this investigation, the team utilized two myocardial I/R models: Ligation of the left anterior descending artery and Langendorff isolated heart perfusion system. The latter has no neurohormonal influences. The PI3K inhibitor (Wortmannin, 0.015 mg/kg), GSK3β inhibitor (SB216763, 0.7 mg/kg), and fisetin (20 mg/kg) were administered intraperitoneally before inducing myocardial I/R. The result of this study reveals that the administration of fisetin decreases the myocardial infarct size, apoptosis, lactate dehydrogenase, and creatine kinase in serum\perfusate of the rat hearts subjected to I/R. However, the inhibition of PI3K with Wortmannin significantly reduced the cardioprotective effect of fisetin both in the ex vivo and vivo models. The administration of GSK3β inhibitor after the administration of fisetin and Wortmannin, re-establishing the cardioprotection, indicates the major role of PI3K in fisetin action. Changes in myocardial oxidative stress (level) and mitochondrial functional preservation of interfibrillar and subsarcolemmal mitochondria support the above findings. Hence, the team here reports that fisetin conferred its cardioprotection against I/R injury by activating the PI3K/Akt/GSK3β signaling pathway in rat hearts.

Abstract
Little is known whether topical analgesic creams, whose natural products enter the blood stream after application, affect myocardial infarct size. Here we tested whether topical analgesic creams can trigger remote cardioprotection and the mechanism involved. Male Sprague Dawley rats were used for an in vivo rodent model consisting of 30 minutes left anterior descending coronary artery ischemia and 2 hours of reperfusion followed by infarct size assessment. The topical analgesic IcyHot, applied to the abdomen prior to ischemia, reduced myocardial infarct size versus control (41 ± 3* vs 62 ± 1, n= 6/group, *P < 0.001). In contrast, the topical analgesic creams Preparation H, Aspercreme Heat, or Tiger Balm did not alter infarct size. IcyHot, unlike Preparation H, increased circulating methyl salicylate levels during reperfusion (3.0 ± 0.6 vs 0.4 ± 0.2 mg/dL, n = 6, *P < 0.001, measured at the internal jugular vein). Methyl salicylate (10 μM) applied to isolated adult cardiac myocytes during reoxygenation reduced cell death when compared to vehicle (21% ± 2%* vs 30% ± 2% of trypan blue positive cells, n = 9/group, *P < 0.01). Further, treatment with the TRP ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) inhibitors TCS-5861528 (1 μM) or AP-18 (1 μM) blocked the methyl salicylate-induced protective effect in isolated adult cardiomyocytes. In intact rodents, either of the TRPA1 inhibitors (1 mg/kg, intravenous) given prior to IcyHot topical application blocked IcyHot-induced infarct size reduction. IcyHot also reduced infarct size when applied 24 hours prior to myocardial ischemia or during myocardial ischemia versus control. Together, these findings support IcyHot analgesic cream can trigger remote cardioprotection through releasing methyl salicylate into the bloodstream with cardioprotection occurring by a TRPA1-dependent mechanism.

Abstract
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a cardiovascular disease with high mortality and disability worldwide. The main pathological manifestation of CHD is myocardial injury due to ischaemia-reperfusion, resulting in the death of cardiomyocytes (apoptosis and necrosis) and the occurrence of cardiac failure. Morphine is a nonselective opioid receptor agonist that has been commonly used for analgesia and to treat ischaemic heart disease. The present review focused on morphine-induced protection in an animal model of myocardial ischaemia-reperfusion and chronic heart failure and the effects of morphine on ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients who underwent pre-primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pre-PPCI) or PPCI. The signalling pathways involved are also briefly described.

Abstract
Heat shock proteins (HSP) are induced after different stress situations. Some of these proteins, particularly HSP-27, function as markers to indicate cellular stress or damage and protect the heart during addictive processes. Morphine withdrawal induces an enhancement of sympathetic activity in parallel with an increased HSP-27 expression and phosphorylation, indicating a severe situation of stress. HSP-27 can interact with different intracellular signaling pathways. Propranolol and SL-327 were able to antagonize the activation of hypothalamic-pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis and the phosphorylation of HSP-27 observed during morphine withdrawal. Therefore, β-adrenergic receptors and the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathway would be involved in HPA axis activity, and consequently, in HSP-27 activation. Finally, selective blockade of corticotrophin releasing factor (CRF)-1 receptor and the genetic deletion of CRF1 receptors antagonize cardiac adaptive changes. These changes are increased noradrenaline (NA) turnover, HPA axis activation and decreased HSP-27 expression and phosphorylation. This suggests a link between the HPA axis and HSP-27. On the other hand, morphine withdrawal increases µ-calpain expression, which in turn degrades cardiac troponin T (cTnT). This fact, together with a co-localization between cTnT and HSP-27, suggests that this chaperone avoids the degradation of cTnT by µ-calpain, correcting the cardiac contractility abnormalities observed during addictive processes. The aim of our research is to review the possible role of HSP-27 in the cardiac changes observed during morphine withdrawal and to understand the mechanisms implicated in its cardiac protective functions.

Abstract
Prostaglandin E receptor subtype 4 (EP4) is widely distributed in the heart, but its role in hepatic ischemia/reperfusion (I/R), particularly in mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) modulation, is yet to be elucidated. In the present study, an EP4 agonist (CAY10598) was used in a rat model to evaluate the effects of EP4 activation on liver I/R and the mechanisms underlying this. I/R insult upregulated hepatic EP4 expression during early reperfusion. In addition, subcutaneous CAY10598 injection prior to the onset of reperfusion significantly increased hepatocyte cAMP concentrations and decreased serum ALT and AST levels and necrotic and apoptotic cell percentages, after 6 h of reperfusion. Moreover, CAY10598 protected mitochondrial morphology, markedly inhibited mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) opening and decreased liver reactive oxygen species levels. This occurred via activation of the ERK1/2-GSK3β pathway rather than the janus kinase (JAK)2-signal transducers and activators of transcription (STAT)3 pathway, and resulted in prevention of mitochondria-associated cell injury. The MPTP opener carboxyatractyloside (CATR) and the ERK1/2 inhibitor PD98059 also partially reversed the protective effects of CAY10598 on the liver and mitochondria. The current findings indicate that EP4 activation induces ERK1/2-GSK3β signaling and subsequent MPTP inhibition to provide hepatoprotection, and these observations are informative for developing new molecular targets and preventative therapies for I/R in a clinical setting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Myocardial infarction (MI) is a solitary fatal condition with towering prevalence of mortality worldwide. Our previous study reports that low-dose copper nanoparticles (CuNP) can halt the progression of diabetes-induced cardiotoxicity as copper has anti-inflammatory, anti-proliferative and anti-oxidant potential. In addition, exercise training has also been considered a hallmark for cardiac health. METHOD Cardioprotective potential of CuNP (1mg/kg/day, po, 4 weeks) and exercise (swimming, 90min, 5days/4 weeks) either alone or in combination was estimated by measuring the surge in serum nitrite/nitrate concentration and reduction in creatine kinase MB (CKMB), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), cardiac troponin I (cTnI), lipid profile, oxidative stress, structural abnormalities against isproterenol (ISO)-induced MI. RESULTS ISO significantly increased CKMB, LDH, cTnI, lipid alteration, oxidative stress, structural abnormalities and decrease nitrite/nitrate concentration in serum. Quantitative estimation of total and phosphorylated Akt(SER-473)/GSK-3b(SER-9) indicated the significant reduction in pAkt and pGSK-3b in ISO treated animal. Individual and combined treatment of CuNP and exercise significantly reduce ISO -induced CKMB, cTnI, LDH, and improve nitrite/nitrate concentration and lipid profile. Attenuation of myocardial oxidative stress and serum TBARS revealed the associated preconditioning effect of exercise and CuNP against oxidative stress. Exercise and CuNP also showed the protective potential against structural abnormalities. However, the cardioprotective effect of individual and combined strategy of exercise and CuNP was vanished by wortmannin and also avoid the downregulation of pGSK-3b. CONCLUSION Low-dose CuNP and exercise training significantly prevents ISO-induced MI through preconditioning and GSK-3b inhibition. Ability to upsurge the NO level, lipid profile and reduced oxidative stress improve the potency of combined strategy.

Abstract
The opioid receptor family, with associated endogenous ligands, has numerous roles throughout the body. Moreover, the delta opioid receptor (DORs) has various integrated roles within the physiological systems, including the cardiovascular system. While DORs are important modulators of cardiovascular autonomic balance, they are well-established contributors to cardioprotective mechanisms. Both endogenous and exogenous opioids acting upon DORs have roles in myocardial hibernation and protection against ischaemia-reperfusion (I-R) injury. Downstream signalling mechanisms governing protective responses alternate, depending on the timing and duration of DOR activation. The following review describes models and mechanisms of DOR-mediated cardioprotection, the impact of co-morbidities and challenges for clinical translation.

Abstract
It has now been demonstrated that the μ, δ1 , δ2 , and κ1 opioid receptor (OR) agonists represent the most promising group of opioids for the creation of drugs enhancing cardiac tolerance to the detrimental effects of ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). Opioids are able to prevent necrosis and apoptosis of cardiomyocytes during I/R and improve cardiac contractility in the reperfusion period. The OR agonists exert an infarct-reducing effect with prophylactic administration and prevent reperfusion-induced cardiomyocyte death when ischemic injury of heart has already occurred; that is, opioids can mimic preconditioning and postconditioning phenomena. Furthermore, opioids are also effective in preventing ischemia-induced arrhythmias.

[PMID: 26430750 PMCID: PMC4592126 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0138108] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2015] [Accepted: 08/25/2015] [Indexed: 01/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Aims Our previous studies demonstrated that remote electro-stimulation (RES) increased myocardial GSK3 phosphorylation and attenuated ischemia/ reperfusion (I/R) injury in rat hearts. However, the role of various opioid receptors (OR) subtypes in preconditioned RES-induced myocardial protection remains unknown. We investigated the role of OR subtype signaling in RES-induced cardioprotection against I/R injury of the rat heart. Methods & Results Male Spraque-Dawley rats were used. RES was performed on median nerves area with/without pretreatment with various receptors antagonists such as opioid receptor (OR) subtype receptors (KOR, DOR, and MOR). The expressions of Akt, GSK3, and PKCε expression were analyzed by Western blotting. When RES was preconditioned before the I/R model, the rat's hemodynamic index, infarction size, mortality and serum CK-MB were evaluated. Our results showed that Akt, GSK3 and PKCε expression levels were significantly increased in the RES group compared to the sham group, which were blocked by pretreatment with specific antagonists targeting KOR and DOR, but not MOR subtype. Using the I/R model, the duration of arrhythmia and infarct size were both significantly attenuated in RES group. The mortality rates of the sham RES group, the RES group, RES group + KOR antagonist, RES group + DOR/MOR antagonists (KOR left), RES group + DOR antagonist, and RES group + KOR/MOR antagonists (DOR left) were 50%, 20%, 67%, 13%, 50% and 55%, respectively. Conclusion The mechanism of RES-induced myocardial protection against I/R injury seems to involve multiple target pathways such as Akt, KOR and/or DOR signaling.

Morphine Reduces Myocardial Infarct Size via Heat Shock Protein 90 in Rodents. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2015; 2015:129612. [PMID: 26413502 PMCID: PMC4564588 DOI: 10.1155/2015/129612] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2015] [Accepted: 05/17/2015] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Opioids reduce injury from myocardial ischemia-reperfusion in humans. In experimental models, this mechanism involves GSK3β inhibition. HSP90 regulates mitochondrial protein import, with GSK3β inhibition increasing HSP90 mitochondrial content. Therefore, we determined whether morphine-induced cardioprotection is mediated by HSP90 and if the protective effect is downstream of GSK3β inhibition. Male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 8–10 weeks, were subjected to an in vivo myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury protocol involving 30 minutes of ischemia followed by 2 hours of reperfusion. Hemodynamics were continually monitored and myocardial infarct size determined. Rats received morphine (0.3 mg/kg), the GSK3β inhibitor, SB216763 (0.6 mg/kg), or saline, 10 minutes prior to ischemia. Some rats received selective HSP90 inhibitors, radicicol (0.3 mg/kg), or deoxyspergualin (DSG, 0.6 mg/kg) alone or 5 minutes prior to morphine or SB216763. Morphine reduced myocardial infarct size when compared to control (42 ± 2% versus 60 ± 1%). This protection was abolished by prior treatment of radicicol or DSG (59 ± 1%, 56 ± 2%). GSK3β inhibition also reduced myocardial infarct size (41 ± 2%) with HSP90 inhibition by radicicol or DSG partially inhibiting SB216763-induced infarct size reduction (54 ± 3%, 47 ± 1%, resp.). These data suggest that opioid-induced cardioprotection is mediated by HSP90. Part of this protection afforded by HSP90 is downstream of GSK3β, potentially via the HSP-TOM mitochondrial import pathway.

Abstract
Ischaemic heart disease (IHD) remains a major cause of morbidity/mortality globally, firmly established in Westernized or 'developed' countries and rising in prevalence in developing nations. Thus, cardioprotective therapies to limit myocardial damage with associated ischaemia-reperfusion (I-R), during infarction or surgical ischaemia, is a very important, although still elusive, clinical goal. The opioid receptor system, encompassing the δ (vas deferens), κ (ketocyclazocine) and μ (morphine) opioid receptors and their endogenous opioid ligands (endorphins, dynorphins, enkephalins), appears as a logical candidate for such exploitation. This regulatory system may orchestrate organism and organ responses to stress, induces mammalian hibernation and associated metabolic protection, triggers powerful adaptive stress resistance in response to ischaemia/hypoxia (preconditioning), and mediates cardiac benefit stemming from physical activity. In addition to direct myocardial actions, central opioid receptor signalling may also enhance the ability of the heart to withstand I-R injury. The δ- and κ-opioid receptors are strongly implicated in cardioprotection across models and species (including anti-infarct and anti-arrhythmic actions), with mixed evidence for μ opioid receptor-dependent protection in animal and human tissues. A small number of clinical trials have provided evidence of cardiac benefit from morphine or remifentanil in cardiopulmonary bypass or coronary angioplasty patients, although further trials of subtype-specific opioid receptor agonists are needed. The precise roles and utility of this GPCR family in healthy and diseased human myocardium, and in mediating central and peripheral survival responses, warrant further investigation, as do the putative negative influences of ageing, IHD co-morbidities, and relevant drugs on opioid receptor signalling and protective responses.

Anaesthetic Postconditioning at the Initiation of CPR Improves Myocardial and Mitochondrial Function in a Pig Model of Prolonged Untreated Ventricular Fibrillation. Resuscitation 2014; 85:1745-51. [PMID: 25281906 PMCID: PMC4276313 DOI: 10.1016/j.resuscitation.2014.09.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2014] [Revised: 09/22/2014] [Accepted: 09/22/2014] [Indexed: 10/24/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Anaesthetic postconditioning (APoC) attenuates myocardial injury following coronary ischaemia/reperfusion. We hypothesised that APoC at the initiation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) will improve post resuscitation myocardial function along with improved mitochondrial function in a pig model of prolonged untreated ventricular fibrillation. METHODS In 32 pigs isoflurane anaesthesia was discontinued prior to induction of ventricular fibrillation that was left untreated for 15 min. At the initiation of CPR, 15 animals were randomised to controls (CON), and 17 to APoC with 2 vol% sevoflurane during the first 3 min CPR. Pigs were defibrillated after 4 min of CPR. After return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), isoflurane was restarted at 0.8-1.5 vol% in both groups. Systolic and diastolic blood pressures were measured continuously. Of the animals that achieved ROSC, eight CON and eight APoC animals were randomised to have their left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF%) assessed by echocardiography at 4h. Seven CON and nine APoC were randomised to euthanasia 15 min after ROSC to isolate mitochondria from the left ventricle for bioenergetic studies. RESULTS ROSC was achieved in 10/15 CON and 15/17 APoC animals. APoC improved haemodynamics during CPR and post-CPR LVEF%. Mitochondrial ATP synthesis, coupling of oxidative phosphorylation and calcium retention capacity were improved in cardiac mitochondria isolated after APoC. CONCLUSIONS In a porcine model of prolonged untreated cardiac arrest, APoC with inhaled sevoflurane at the initiation of CPR, is associated with preserved mitochondrial function and improved post resuscitation myocardial dysfunction.

Abstract
Components of circadian rhythm maintenance, or "clock genes," are endogenous entrainable oscillations of about 24 h that regulate biological processes and are found in the suprachaismatic nucleus (SCN) and many peripheral tissues, including the heart. They are influenced by external cues, or Zeitgebers, such as light and heat, and can influence such diverse phenomena as cytokine expression immune cells, metabolic activity of cardiac myocytes, and vasodilator regulation by vascular endothelial cells. While it is known that the central master clock in the SCN synchronizes peripheral physiologic rhythms, the mechanisms by which the information is transmitted are complex and may include hormonal, metabolic, and neuronal inputs. Whether circadian patterns are causally related to the observed periodicity of events, or whether they are simply epi-phenomena is not well established, but a few studies suggest that the circadian effects likely are real in their impact on myocardial infarct incidence. Cycle disturbances may be harbingers of predisposition and subsequent response to acute and chronic cardiac injury, and identifying the complex interactions of circadian rhythms and myocardial infarction may provide insights into possible preventative and therapeutic strategies for susceptible populations.

Abstract
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) comprise a large family of membrane receptors involved in signal transduction. These receptors are linked to a variety of physiological and biological processes such as regulation of neurotransmission, growth, and cell differentiation among others. Some of the effects of GPCRs are known to be mediated by the activation of mitogen-activated extracellular kinase (MAPK) pathways. Cross-talk among various signal pathways plays an important role in activation of intracellular and intranuclear signal transduction cascades. Naloxone-induced morphine withdrawal leads to an up-regulation of adenyl cyclase-mediated signaling, resulting in high expression of protein kinase (PK) A. In addition, there is also an increased expression of extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK), one member of MAPK. For this reason, the crosstalk between these GPCRs and receptors with tyrosine kinase activity (TKR) can be considered a possible mechanism for adaptive changes that occurs after morphine withdrawal. Morphine withdrawal activates ERK1/2 and phosphorylated tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) at Ser31 in the right and left ventricle. When N-(2-guanidinoethyl)-5-isoquinolinesulfonamide (HA-1004), a PKA inhibitor was infused, the ability of morphine withdrawal to activate ERK, which phosphorylates TH at Ser31, was reduced. The present finding demonstrated that the enhancement of ERK1/2 expression and the phosphorylation state of TH at Ser31 during morphine withdrawal are dependent on PKA and suggest cross-talk between PKA and ERK1/2 transduction pathway mediating morphine withdrawal-induced activation of TH. Increasing understanding of the mechanisms that interconnect the two pathway regulated by GPCRs and TKRs may facilitate the design of new therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Butorphanol tartrate is a synthetic opioid partial agonist analgesic. Butorphanol targets the heart, mainly via κ-opioid receptor (κ-OR) activation. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect and mechanism underlying butorphanol postconditioning (B-Post) on myocardial ischaemia reperfusion injury in rats. METHODS Seventy-five male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into five groups of 15 each: Group sham; Group I/R (ischaemia/reperfusion); Group B (butorphanol postconditioning); Group B/N (butorphanol postconditioning + antagonist of κ-OR nor-binaltorphimine [Nor-BNI]); Group B/G (butorphanol postconditioning + nonselective ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channel blocker glibenclamide [GLI]). The left coronary anterior descending artery (LAD) was occluded for 30 min, followed by a 120-min reperfusion. Blood samples were obtained at the end of reperfusion for determination of serum tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-6 concentrations. The hearts were then excised for determination of myocardial infarct size by triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining. The myocardial tissues were used for determination of the expression of myocardial superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA) and myeloperoxidase (MPO). RESULTS Myocardial infarct size was significantly reduced in B (26.4 ± 1.83%), B/N (34.5 ± 1.56%) and B/G (31.5 ± 1.27%) Groups compared with Group I/R (46.8 ± 1.41%) (all P < 0. 001). The serum TNF-α and IL-6 concentrations and the MDA and MPO activities in the ischaemic area in B, B/N and B/G Groups were significantly lower than those in the I/R Group (all P < 0.001). In addition, myocardial infarct size, TNF-α and IL-6 concentrations and the MDA and MPO activities in B/N and B/G Groups were higher than those in the B Group (all P < 0.001). In contrast, SOD activity was significantly increased in B, B/N and B/G Groups, and SOD activity in B/N and B/G Groups was less than in the B Group (all P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that postconditioning of butorphanol tartrate can provide a potent cardioprotective effect against myocardial ischaemic and reperfusion injury. Both the κ-OR and the KATP channels were involved in this effect.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate whether the DOR agonist BW373U86 conferred neuroprotection following ACA when given after resuscitation and to determine the long-term effects of chronic BW373U86 treatment on ACA-elicited brain injury. METHODS Animals were divided into acute and chronic treatment groups. Each group consisted of four sub-groups, including Sham, ACA, BW373U86 (BW373U86+ACA), and Naltrindole groups (Naltrindole and BW373U86+ACA). The DOR antagonist Naltrindole was used to confirm the possible receptor-dependent effects of BW373U86. ACA was induced by 8min of asphyxiation followed by resuscitation. All drugs were administered either immediately after the restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in acute-treatment groups or over 6 consecutive days in chronic-treatment groups. Alterations of cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB) and phosphorylated CREB (pCREB) were analyzed by western blot and immunohistochemistry. Neurological functions were assessed by neurological deficit score (NDS) and Morris Water Maze performance. Neurodegeneration was monitored by immunofluorescence and Nissl staining. RESULTS ACA induced massive neuron loss and serious neurological function deficits. BW373U86 significantly reduced both of these negative effects and increased CREB and pCREB expression in the hippocampus; these effects were reversed with acute Naltrindole treatment. The protective effects of BW373U86 persisted until 28d post-ROSC with chronic treatment, but these effects were not reversed by Naltrindole. CONCLUSIONS BW373U86 attenuates global cerebral ischemic injury induced by ACA through both DOR-dependent and DOR-independent mechanisms. CREB might be an important molecule in mediating these neuroprotective effects.

Abstract
Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) are cytochrome P450 epoxygenase metabolites of arachidonic acid involved in regulating pathways promoting cellular protection. We have previously shown that EETs trigger a protective response limiting mitochondrial dysfunction and reducing cellular death. Considering it is unknown how EETs regulate cell death processes, the major focus of the current study was to investigate their role in the autophagic response of HL-1 cells and neonatal cardiomyocytes (NCMs) during starvation. We employed a dual-acting synthetic analog UA-8 (13-(3-propylureido)tridec-8-enoic acid), possessing both EET-mimetic and soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) inhibitory properties, or 14,15-EET as model EET molecules. We demonstrated that EETs significantly improved viability and recovery of starved cardiac cells, whereas they lowered cellular stress responses such as caspase-3 and proteasome activities. Furthermore, treatment with EETs resulted in preservation of mitochondrial functional activity in starved cells. The protective effects of EETs were abolished by autophagy-related gene 7 (Atg7) short hairpin RNA (shRNA) or pharmacological inhibition of autophagy. Mechanistic evidence demonstrated that sarcolemmal ATP-sensitive potassium channels (pmKATP) and enhanced activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) played a crucial role in the EET-mediated effect. Our data suggest that the protective effects of EETs involve regulating the autophagic response, which results in a healthier pool of mitochondria in the starved cardiac cells, thereby representing a novel mechanism of promoting survival of cardiac cells. Thus, we provide new evidence highlighting a central role of the autophagic response in linking EETs with promoting cell survival during deep metabolic stress such as starvation.

Abstract
Deciphering the remote conditioning molecular mechanism may provide targets to develop therapeutics that can broaden the clinical application. To further investigate this, we tested whether two protein kinase C (PKC) isozymes, the ubiquitously expressed epsilon PKC (εPKC) and the neuronal-specific gamma PKC (γPKC), mediate nociceptive-induced remote myocardial conditioning. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were used for both in vivo and ex vivo myocardial ischemia-reperfusion protocols. For the in vivo studies, using a surgical abdominal incision for comparison, applying only to the abdomen either bradykinin or the εPKC activator (ψεRACK) reduced myocardial infarct size (45 ± 1, 44 ± 2 %, respectively, vs. incision: 43 ± 2 %, and control: 63 ± 2 %, P < 0.001). Western blot showed only εPKC, and not γPKC, is highly expressed in the myocardium. However, applying a selective γPKC inhibitor (γV5-3) to the abdominal skin blocked remote protection by any of these strategies. Using an ex vivo isolated heart model without an intact nervous system, only selective εPKC activation, unlike a selective classical PKC isozyme activator (activating α, β, βII, and γ), reduced myocardial injury. Importantly, the classical PKC isozyme activator given to the abdomen in vivo (with an intact nervous system including γPKC) during myocardial ischemia reduced infarct size as effectively as an abdominal incision or ψεRACK (45 ± 1 vs. 45 ± 2 and 47 ± 1 %, respectively). The classical PKC activator-induced protection was also blocked by spinal cord surgical transection. These findings identified potential remote conditioning mimetics, with these strategies effective even during myocardial ischemia. A novel mechanism of nociceptive-induced remote conditioning, involving γPKC, was also identified.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to examine the cardioprotective effect of morphine and Delta 2 opioid D-Ala2-Leu5 enkephalin(DADLE) administered, at early reoxygenation, in isolated human myocardium exposed to hypoxia–reoxygenation. Then,we tested the involvement of mitochondrial permeability transition pore in morphine and DADLE-induced postconditioning.Human right atrial trabeculae were obtained during cardiac surgery (coronary artery bypass and aortic valve replacement).Isometrically contracting isolated human right atrial trabeculae were exposed to 30-min hypoxia and 60-min reoxygenation(control group). In treatment groups, morphine 0.5 mmol, DADLE 10 nmol, DADLE 50 nmol and DADLE 100 nmol were administered during the first 15 min of reoxygenation. In two additional groups, morphine and DADLE 100 nmol were administered in the presence of atractyloside 50 mmol, the mitochondrial permeability transition pore opener. The force of contraction at the end of 60-min reoxygenation period (FoC60 expressed as % of baseline) was compared (mean+standard deviation) between the groups by an analysis of variance. Morphine (FoC60: 81+9% of baseline), DADLE50 nmol (FoC60: 76+11% of baseline) and DADLE 100 nmol (FoC60: 81+4% of baseline) increased significantly (P,0.001) the FoC60 as compared with the control group (FoC60: 53+3% of baseline). DADLE 10 nmol did not modify the FoC60 (50+9% of baseline; P ¼ 0.60 versus control group). The enhanced recovery of FoC60 induced by morphine and DADLE 100 nmol were abolished in the presence of atractyloside (FoC60: respectively 57+6% and 44+7% of baseline;P, 0.001). In conclusion, the administration of morphine and DADLE, in early reoxygenation period, protected human myocardium, in vitro, against hypoxia–reoxygenation injury, at least in part, by the inhibition of mitochondrial permeability transition pore opening.

Abstract
Obesity with associated metabolic disturbances worsens ischaemic heart disease outcomes, and rodent studies confirm that obesity with insulin-resistance impairs myocardial resistance to ischemia-reperfusion (I-R) injury. However, the effects of obesity per se are unclear, with some evidence for paradoxic cardioprotection (particularly in older subjects). We tested the impact of dietary obesity on I-R tolerance and reperfusion injury salvage kinase (RISK) signalling in hearts from middle-aged (10 months old) insulin-insensitive rats. Hearts from Wistar rats on either a 32-week control (CD) or high carbohydrate obesogenic (OB) diet were assessed for I-R resistance in vivo (45 minutes left anterior descending artery occlusion and 120 minutes reperfusion) and ex vivo (25 minutes ischemia and 60 minutes reperfusion). Expression and δ-opioid receptor (δ-OR) phospho-regulation of pro-survival (Akt/PKB, Erk1/2, eNOS) and pro-injury (GSK3β) enzymes were also examined. OB rats were heavier (764±25 versus 657±22 g for CD; P<0.05), hyperleptinaemic (11.1±0.7 versus 5.0±0.7 for CD; P<0.01) and comparably insulin-insensitive (HOMA-IR of 63.2±3.3 versus 63.2±1.6 for CD). In vivo infarction was more than halved in OB (20±3%) versus CD rats (45±6% P<0.05), as was post-ischaemic lactate dehydrogenase efflux (0.4±0.3 mU/ml versus 5.6±0.5 mU/ml; P<0.02) and ex vivo contractile dysfunction (62±2% versus 44±6% recovery of ventricular force; P<0.05). OB hearts exhibited up to 60% higher Akt expression, with increased phosphorylation of eNOS (+100%), GSK3β (+45%) and Erk1/2 (+15%). Pre-ischaemic δ-OR agonism with BW373U86 improved recoveries in CD hearts in association with phosphorylation of Akt (+40%), eNOS (+75%) and GSK3β (+30%), yet failed to further enhance RISK-NOS activation or I-R outcomes in OB hearts. In summary, dietary obesity in the context of age-related insulin-insensitivity paradoxically improves myocardial I-R tolerance, in association with moderate hyperleptinaemic and enhanced RISK expression and phospho-regulation. However, OB hearts are resistant to further RISK modulation and cardioprotection via acute δ-OR agonism.

Abstract
Earlier studies have demonstrated that aldose reductase (AR) plays a key role in mediating ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. Our objective was to investigate if AR mediates I/R injury by influencing phosphorylation of glycogen synthase kinase-3β (p-GSK3β). To investigate this issue, we used three separate models to study the effects of stress injury on the heart. Hearts isolated from wild-type (WT), human expressing AR transgenic (ARTg), and AR knockout (ARKO) mice were perfused with/without GSK3β inhibitors (SB-216763 and LiCl) and subjected to I/R. Ad-human AR (Ad-hAR)-expressing HL-1 cardiac cells were exposed to hypoxia (0.5% O(2)) and reoxygenation (20.9% O(2)) conditions. I/R in a murine model of transient occlusion and reperfusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) was used to study if p-GSK3β was affected through increased AR flux. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release and left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP) were measured. LVDP was decreased in hearts from ARTg mice compared with WT and ARKO after I/R, whereas LDH release and apoptotic markers were increased (P < 0.05). p-GSK3β was decreased in ARTg hearts compared with WT and ARKO (P < 0.05). In ARKO, p-GSK3β and apoptotic markers were decreased compared with WT (P < 0.05). WT and ARTg hearts perfused with GSK3β inhibitors improved p-GSK3β expression and LVDP and exhibited decreased LDH release, apoptosis, and mitochondrial pore opening (P < 0.05). Ad-hAR-expressing HL-1 cardiac cells, exposed to hypoxia (0.5% O(2)) and reoxygenation (20.9% O(2)), had greater LDH release compared with control HL-1 cells (P < 0.05). p-GSK3β was decreased and correlated with increased apoptotic markers in Ad-hAR HL-1 cells (P < 0.05). Treatment with phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) inhibitor increased injury demonstrated by increased LDH release in ARTg, WT, and ARKO hearts and in Ad-hAR-expressing HL-1 cells. Cells treated with protein kinase C (PKC) α/β inhibitor displayed significant increases in p-Akt and p-GSK3β expression, and resulted in decreased LDH release. In summary, AR mediates changes in p-GSK3β, in part, via PKCα/β and Akt during I/R.

Abstract
Mitochondria represent approximately one-third of the mass of the heart and play a critical role in maintaining cellular function-however, they are also a potent source of free radicals and pro-apoptotic factors. As such, maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis is essential to cell survival. As the dominant source of ATP, continuous quality control is mandatory to ensure their ongoing optimal function. Mitochondrial quality control is accomplished by the dynamic interplay of fusion, fission, autophagy, and mitochondrial biogenesis. This review examines these processes in the heart and considers their role in the context of ischemia-reperfusion injury. Interventions that modulate mitochondrial turnover, including pharmacologic agents, exercise, and caloric restriction are discussed as a means to improve mitochondrial quality control, ameliorate cardiovascular dysfunction, and enhance longevity.

Abstract
PURPOSE We tested if inhibition of phosphodiesterases (PDEs) with IBMX (1-methyl-3-isobutylxanthine) can modulate the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) opening by inactivating glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK-3β). METHODS H9c2 cells were exposed to 600 μM H(2)O(2) for 20 min to cause the mPTP opening. Mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) was assessed by imaging cells loaded with tetramethylrhodamine ethyl ester (TMRE). Cell viability was measured with propidium iodide (PI) fluorometry using a fluorescence reader. Ischemia/reperfusion injury was induced by exposing cells to ischemic solution for 90 min followed by 30 min of reperfusion. RESULTS IBMX reduced loss of ΔΨm caused by H(2)O(2), indicating that inhibition of PDEs can prevent the mPTP opening. However, IBMX could not inhibit the pore opening in cells transfected with the constitutively active GSK-3β (GSK-3β-S9A) mutant, suggesting a critical role of GSK-3β in the action of IBMX. IBMX also reduced reperfusion injury in a GSK-3β dependent manner. In support, IBMX increased GSK-3β phosphorylation at Ser(9), an effect that was reversed by both the PKA inhibitor H89 and the PKG inhibitor KT5823. In support, IBMX activated both PKA and PKG. IBMX failed to prevent the loss of ΔΨm in the presence of H89 or PKA siRNA. Similarly, both KT5823 and PKG siRNA reversed the protective effect of IBMX. CONCLUSION Inhibition of PDEs prevents the mPTP opening by inactivating GSK-3β through PKA and PKG. GSK-3β is a common downstream target of PKA and PKG. Inhibition of PDEs may be a useful approach to prevent reperfusion injury.

Abstract
During the past few decades, a large number of animal studies demonstrated that commonly used opioids could provide cardioprotection against ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. Opioid-induced preconditioning or postconditioning mimics ischemic preconditioning (I-Pre) or ischemic postconditioning (I-Post). Both δ- and κ-opioid receptors (OPRs) play a crucial role in opioid-induced cardioprotection (OIC). Down stream signaling effectors of OIC include ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels, protein kinase C (PKC), tyrosine kinase, phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3-kinase), extracellular signal regulated kinase1/2 (ERK1/2), glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β), and mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP), among others. Recently, various reports also suggest that opioids could provide cardioprotection in humans. This review will discuss OIC using mostly morphine and remifentanil which are widely used during cardiac anesthesia in addition to the clinical implications of OIC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is generally accepted that morphine affords cardioprotection against ischemia/reperfusion injury. Inhibition of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) is considered an end target for cardioprotection. The aim of this study was to investigate the involvement of opioid receptors (OR) and MPTP in morphine-induced postconditioning (M-Post). METHODS Isolated rat hearts were subjected to 30 min of regional ischemia and 2 h of reperfusion. Hearts were treated with 1 µM morphine, with or without the OR antagonists or a MPTP opener at early reperfusion. Infarct size was measured with 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining. RESULTS There were no significant differences in cardiodynamic variables except a decrease in heart rate in the M-Post group (P < 0.01 vs. control) after reperfusion. M-Post dramatically reduced infarct-risk volume ratio (9.8 ± 2.5%, P < 0.001 vs. 30.0 ± 3.7% in control). This beneficial effect on infarct volume by M-Post was comparable with ischemic postconditioning (11.9 ± 2.2%, P > 0.05). The nonspecific OR antagonist naloxone (25.7 ± 1.9%, P < 0.01), the δ-OR antagonist naltrindole (27.8 ± 4.3%, P < 0.05) and δ(1)-OR antagonist 7-benzylidenenaltrexone (24.7 ± 3.7%, P < 0.01) totally abrogated the anti-infarct effect of M-Post. In addition, the anti-infarct effect by M-Post was also totally blocked by the MPTP opener atractyloside (26.3 ± 5.2%, P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS M-Post effectively reduces myocardial infarction. The anti-infarct effect by M-Post is mediated via activation of δ-OR, especially δ(1)-OR, and inhibition of the MPTP opening.

Abstract
A series of brief ischemia/reperfusion cycles (termed ischemic preconditioning, IPC) limits myocardial injury produced by a subsequent prolonged period of coronary artery occlusion and reperfusion. Over the last 2 decades our understanding of IPC's mechanism has increased exponentially. Hearts exposed to IPC have a better metabolic and ionic status during prolonged ischemia compared to naïve hearts. However, this difference is not thought to be the main mechanism by which IPC protects against infarction. Signaling pathways that are activated by IPC distinguish IPC hearts from naïve hearts. During the trigger phase of IPC, adenosine, bradykinin and opioid receptors are occupied. Although these three receptors trigger signaling through divergent pathways, the signaling converges on protein kinase C. We have proposed that at the end of the index ischemia the activated PKC sensitizes the low-affinity A(2b) adenosine receptor (A(2b)AR) through phosphorylation of either the receptor or its coupling proteins so that A(2b)AR can be activated by endogenous adenosine released by the previously ischemic cardiomyocytes. The sensitized A(2b)AR would then be responsible for activation of the survival kinases including PI3 kinase, Akt and ERK which then act to inhibit lethal mitochondrial permeability transition pore formation which normally uncouples mitochondria and destroys many myocytes in the first minutes of reperfusion. Herein we review the evidence for the above mechanisms and their functional details.

Opioid receptor agonist Eribis peptide 94 reduces infarct size in different porcine models for myocardial ischaemia and reperfusion. Eur J Pharmacol 2010; 651:146-51.

Abstract
Eribis peptide 94 (EP 94) is a novel enkephalin analog, thought to interact with the μ- and δ-opioid receptors. The purpose of the present study was to examine the cardioprotective potential of EP 94 in two clinically relevant porcine models of myocardial ischaemia and reperfusion, and to investigate if such an effect is associated with an increased expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). Forty-one anesthetized pigs underwent 40min of coronary occlusion followed by 4h of reperfusion. In Protocol I, balloon occlusion of the left anterior descending artery was performed with concurrent intravenous administration of (A) vehicle (n=7), (B) EP 94 (1ug/kg) after 5, 12, 19 and 26min of ischaemia (n=4) or (C) EP 94 (1ug/kg) after 26, 33, 40min of ischaemia (n=6). In Protocol II, open-chest pigs were administered (D) vehicle (n=6) or (E) 0.2ug/kg/min of EP 94 (n=6) through an intracoronary infusion into the jeopardized myocardium, started after 30min of ischaemia and maintained for 15min. The hearts were stained and the protein content of eNOS measured. EP 94 reduces infarct size when administered both early and late during ischaemia compared with vehicle (infarct size group A 61.6±2%, group B 50.2±3% and group C 49.2±2%, respectively, P<0.05), as well as when infused intracoronary (infarct size group D 82.2±3.9% and group E 61.2±2.5% respectively, P<0.01). Phosphorylated eNOS Ser(1177) in relation to total eNOS was significantly increased in the group administered EP 94, indicating activation of nitric oxide production.

Abstract
Cell models of ischemic preconditioning (IPC) indicate nitric oxide (NO) is involved in protection accruing during reoxygenation but disagree whether it acts through PKG. Using a more relevant intact heart model, we studied isolated rabbit hearts subjected to 30-min coronary artery occlusion/120-min reperfusion. We previously found protection from PKG activator 8-(4-chlorophenylthio)-guanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (CPT-cGMP) at reperfusion was blocked by A(2b) adenosine receptor (A(2b)AR), ERK, or phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase) blockers. In this investigation A(2b)AR agonist BAY 60-6583 or CPT-cGMP at reperfusion reduced infarction comparably to IPC. Their protection was abrogated by N(ω)-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME), suggesting a PKG-independent NO synthase in IPC's mediator pathway downstream of PKG and A(2b)AR. NO donor S-nitroso-N-acetyl-d,l-penicillamine (SNAP) at reperfusion also protected. This protection was not blocked by PI3-kinase inhibitor wortmannin or ERK antagonist PD-98059, suggesting NO acted downstream of these kinases. Protection from SNAP was not affected by mitochondrial ATP-sensitive K(+) channel closer 5-hydroxydecanoate, PKC antagonist chelerythrine, reactive oxygen species scavenger N-2-mercaptopropionylglycine, or soluble guanylyl cyclase antagonist 1H-[1,2,4]oxadiazolo[4,3-a]quinoxalin-1-one (ODQ). Absence of ODQ effect indicated NO was acting independently of PKG. BAY 58-2667, a soluble guanylyl cyclase activator, was protective, and l-NAME blocked its infarct-sparing effect, indicating a second signaling event dependent on NO generation but independent of PKG. SB216763, a blocker of glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β), decreased infarct size, and its infarct-sparing effect was not affected by l-NAME, suggesting GSK-3β acted downstream or independently of NO. Hence, NO signaling occurs in IPC's mediator pathway downstream of Akt and ERK, and its protection is independent of PKG.

Abstract
Anaesthetists are confronted on a daily basis with patients with coronary artery disease, myocardial ischaemia, or both during the perioperative period. Therefore, prevention and ultimately adequate therapy of perioperative myocardial ischaemia and its consequences are the major challenges in current anaesthetic practice. This review will focus on the translation of the laboratory evidence of anaesthetic-induced cardioprotection into daily clinical practice.

Abstract
CB1 antagonism is associated with reduced doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity and decreased cerebrocortical infarction. Rimonabant, a selective CB1 receptor antagonist, was, before it was withdrawn, proposed as a treatment for obesity and reported to reduce cardiovascular risk by improving glucose and lipid profiles and raising adiponectin levels. The cardioprotective actions of rimonabant in 6-week-old C57BL/6J mice fed either high-fat (HFD) or standard diets (STD) for 8 weeks were investigated. At 14 weeks, mice received rimonabant (10 mg/kg/day, i.p.) or vehicle for 1 week and were then subjected to an in vivo acute myocardial infarction. The influence of rimonabant on infarct size (IS) in CB1 knockout (CB1-/-) and wild-type (CB1+/+) mice was also examined. C57BL/6J mice that had been maintained on STD or HFD exhibited 4.3 and 21.4% reductions in body weight following 7 days rimonabant treatment. Rimonabant reduced IS in both STD (29.6 +/- 3.5% vs. 49.8 +/- 6.9% in control, P < 0.05) and HFD (26.9 +/- 1.5% vs. 48.7 +/- 7% in control, P < 0.05) mice. In CB1-/- mice rimonabant failed to reduce body weight or IS (51.0 +/- 5.3% vs. 49.7 +/- 4.7% in control, P > 0.05), although significant reductions were seen in CB1+/+ mice (IS, 48.9 +/- 4.6% control vs. 30.5 +/- 3.1% rimonabant, P < 0.05). To exclude the possibility that weight loss alone induced cardioprotection, HFD mice were switched to STD for 7 days (HFD-STD), resulting in an 11.3 +/- 1.0% decrease in body weight compared to control (+2.1 +/- 1.1% in HFD). This, however, was not associated with IS reduction (39.1 +/- 3.9% HFD-STD vs. 40.0 +/- 5.3% HFD, P > 0.05). Serum and cardiac adiponectin levels were unaltered by rimonabant treatment. HL-1 cell death was not prevented by 1 or 7 days treatment with rimonabant. We conclude that rimonabant-induced infarct limitation may involve the CB1 receptor, although not necessarily cardiac CB1 receptors, and is unrelated to weight loss or altered adiponectin synthesis.

Abstract
Cytochrome P-450 (CYP) epoxygenases and their arachidonic acid (AA) metabolites, the epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), have been shown to produce marked reductions in infarct size (IS) in canine myocardium either given before an ischemic insult or at reperfusion similar to that produced in ischemic preconditioning (IPC) and postconditioning (POC) protocols. However, no studies have addressed the possibility that EETs serve a beneficial role in IPC or POC. We tested the hypothesis that EETs may play a role in these two phenomena by preconditioning dog hearts with one 5-min period of total coronary occlusion followed by 10 min of reperfusion before 60 min of occlusion and 3 h of reperfusion or by postconditioning with three 30-s periods of reperfusion interspersed with three 30-s periods of occlusion. To test for a role of EETs in IPC and POC, the selective EET antagonists 14,15-epoxyeicosa-5(Z)-enoic acid (14,15-EEZE) or its derivative, 14,15-epoxyeicosa-5(Z)-enoic acid 2-[2-(3-hydroxy-propoxy)-ethoxy]-ethyl ester (14,15-EEZE-PEG), were administered 10 min before IPC, 5 min after IPC, or 5 min before POC. In a separate series, the selective EET synthesis inhibitor N-methylsulfonyl-6-(propargyloxyphenyl)hexanamide (MS-PPOH) was administered 10 min before IPC. Infarct size was determined by tetrazolium staining and coronary collateral blood flow at 30 min of occlusion and reperfusion flow at 3 h by radioactive microspheres. Both IPC and POC produced nearly equivalent reductions in IS expressed as a percentage of the area at risk (AAR) [Control 21.2 +/- 1.2%, IPC 8.3 +/- 2.2%, POC 10.1 +/- 1.8% (P < 0.001)]. 14,15-EEZE, 14,15-EEZE-PEG, and MS-PPOH markedly attenuated the cardioprotective effects of IPC and POC (14,15-EEZE and 14,15-EEZE-PEG) at doses that had no effect on IS/AAR when given alone. These results suggest a unique role for endogenous EETs in both IPC and POC.

Abstract
It is becoming increasingly clear that mitochondrial dysfunction is critically important in myocardial ischemic injury, and that cardioprotective mechanisms must ultimately prevent or attenuate mitochondrial damage. Mitochondria are also essential for energy production, and therefore prevention of mitochondrial injury must not compromise oxidative phosphorylation during reperfusion. This review will focus on one mitochondrial mechanism of cardioprotection involving inhibition of adenine nucleotide transport across the outer mitochondria membrane under de-energized conditions. This slows ATP hydrolysis by the mitochondria, and would be expected to lower mitochondrial membrane potential during ischemia, to inhibit calcium uptake during ischemia, and potentially to reduce free radical generation during early reperfusion. Two interventions that similarly inhibit mitochondrial adenine nucleotide transport are Bcl-2 overexpression and GSK inhibition. A possible final common mechanism shared by both of these interventions is discussed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Brief, repetitive administration of helium before prolonged coronary artery occlusion and reperfusion protects myocardium against infarction. Opioid receptors mediate the cardioprotective effects of ischemic pre- and postconditioning, but whether these receptors also play a role in helium preconditioning is unknown. The authors tested the hypotheses that opioid receptors mediate helium preconditioning and that morphine (a mu(1)-opioid receptor agonist with delta(1)-opioid agonist properties) lowers the threshold of cardioprotection produced by helium in vivo. DESIGN A randomized, prospective study. SETTING A university research laboratory. PARTICIPANTS Male New Zealand white rabbits. INTERVENTIONS Rabbits (n = 56) were instrumented for the measurement of systemic hemodynamics and subjected to a 30-minute left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) occlusion and 3 hours of reperfusion. In separate experimental groups, rabbits (n = 6 or 7 per group) received 0.9% saline (control), 1 or 3 cycles of 70% helium-30% oxygen administered for 5 minutes interspersed with 5 minutes of an air-oxygen mixture, morphine (0.1 mg/kg intravenously), or the nonselective opioid antagonist naloxone (6 mg/kg intravenously) before LAD occlusion. Other groups of rabbits received 3 cycles of helium or 1 cycle of helium plus morphine (0.1 mg/kg) in the absence or presence of naloxone (6 mg/kg) before ischemia and reperfusion. Statistical analysis of data was performed with analysis of variance for repeated measures followed by Bonferroni modification of the Student t test. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Myocardial infarct size was determined by using triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining and presented as a percentage of the left ventricular area at risk. Helium reduced myocardial infarct size in an exposure-related manner (36 +/- 6 [p > 0.05] and 25% +/- 4% [p < 0.05 v control] for 1 and 3 cycles of helium, respectively; data are mean +/- standard deviation) compared with control (44% +/- 7%). Morphine and naloxone alone did not affect infarct size (45 +/- 2 and 40% +/- 8%, respectively). The combination of 1 cycle of helium and morphine reduced infarct size (24% +/- 5%, p < 0.05 v control) to an equivalent degree as 3 cycles of helium. Naloxone pretreatment abolished cardioprotection produced by 3 cycles of helium (47% +/- 2%) and the combination of 1 cycle of helium plus morphine (45% +/- 4%). CONCLUSIONS The results indicate that morphine lowers the threshold of helium preconditioning. Opioid receptors mediate helium preconditioning and its augmentation by morphine in vivo.
