The mKATP Channels and protein-kinase C Are Involved in the Cardioprotective Effects of Genistein on Estrogen-Deficient Rat Hearts Exposed to Ischemia/Reperfusion: Energetic Study.

Abstract
Estrogenic deficiency is considered a risk of coronary disease in women. The phytoestrogen genistein could be a safe preventive strategy. The first aim of this work was to validate a model of cardiac stunning in which natural estrogenic deficiency rats, ie, adult young male (YM) and aged female (AgF), are compared with young female rats (YF). The second aim was to study whether the in vivo administration of genistein prevents the stunning in estrogenic deficiency rats. The third aim was to evaluate whether in our estrogenic deficiency model exists a synergy between genistein and estradiol. The fourth aim was to characterize the underlying mechanisms of genistein. Stunning was induced by ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) in isolated hearts inside a calorimeter. The left ventricular pressure (P) and total heat rate (Ht) were simultaneously measured, while diastolic contracture and muscle economy (P/Ht) were calculated. During R, P/Ht and P recovered less in AgF and YM than in YF rat hearts. Genistein through i.p. (GST-ip) improved P and P/Ht in AgF and YM, but not in YF. In YM, the cardioprotections of GST-ip and estradiol were synergistic. After ischemia, GST-ip increased SR Ca leak causing diastolic contracture. The GST-ip cardioprotection neither was affected by blockade of PI3K-Akt, NO synthases, or phosphatases, but it was sensitive to blockade of protein-kinase C and mKATP channels. Results suggest that (1) estrogenic deficiency worsens cardiac stunning, (2) GST-ip was more cardioprotective in estrogenic deficiency and synergistic with estradiol, and (3) cardioprotection of GST-ip depends on the protein-kinase C and mKATP channel pathway activation.

Abstract
The diabetic heart is known to be susceptible to ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury by increased oxidative stress. Although oxidative stress upregulates inducible nitric oxide (iNOS), the role of iNOS in I/R injury in the diabetic heart has been poorly understood. Because iNOS-derived nitric oxide (NO) plays a crucial role in cardioprotection against I/R injury, we hypothesized that inhibition of iNOS uncoupling would restore tolerance to I/R injury in the diabetic heart. The present study demonstrated that iNOS-derived superoxide generation was reduced, and that the NO bioavailability was increased, by treatment with the NOS-cofactor, tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4), before I/R in the hearts isolated from diabetic rats. This was associated with a reduction of infarct size and improvement of left ventricular (LV) function after I/R. The cardioprotective effect of BH4 was abrogated by treatment with a thiol reducing agent dithiothreitol (DTT), but not a NO-sensitive guanylyl cyclase inhibitor ODQ, suggesting that iNOS-derived NO-mediated cardioprotection occurs through protein S-nitrosylation but not cGMP-dependent signaling in the diabetic heart. Indeed, protein S-nitrosylation was increased by treatment with BH4 in the diabetic heart and was inhibited by DTT. These results suggest that the inhibition of iNOS uncoupling unmasks tolerance to I/R injury through enhanced protein S-nitrosylation in the diabetic rat heart.

Abstract
Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is a major contributory factor to cardiac dysfunction and infarct size that determines patient prognosis after acute myocardial infarction. Considerable interest exists in harnessing the heart's endogenous capacity to resist I/R injury, known as ischemic preconditioning (IPC). The IPC research has contributed to uncovering the pathophysiology of I/R injury on a molecular and cellular basis and to invent potential therapeutic means to combat such damage. However, the translation of basic research findings learned from IPC into clinical practice has often been inadequate because the majority of basic research findings have stemmed from young and healthy animals. Few if any successful implementations of IPC have occurred in the diseased hearts that are the primary target of viable therapies activating cardioprotective mechanisms to limit cardiac dysfunction and infarct size. Therefore, the first purpose of this review is to facilitate understanding of pathophysiology of I/R injury and the mechanisms of cardioprotection afforded by IPC in the normal heart. Then I focus on the problems and opportunities for successful bench-to-bedside translation of IPC in the diseased hearts.

Abstract
We investigated the mechanism of exercise-induced late cardioprotection against ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. C57BL/6 mice received treadmill exercise (60 min/day) for 7 days at a work rate of 60–70% maximal oxygen uptake. Exercise transiently increased oxidative stress and activated endothelial isoform of nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) during exercise and increased expression of inducible isoform of NOS (iNOS) in the heart after 7 days of exercise. The mice were subjected to regional ischemia by 30 min of occlusion of the left coronary artery, followed by 2 h of reperfusion. Infarct size was significantly smaller in the exercised mice. Ablation of cardiac sympathetic nerve by topical application of phenol abolished oxidative stress, activation of eNOS, upregulation of iNOS, and cardioprotection mediated by exercise. Treatment with the antioxidant N-(2-mercaptopropionyl)-glycine during exercise also inhibited activation of eNOS, upregulation of iNOS, and cardioprotection. In eNOS−/− mice, exercise-induced oxidative stress was conserved, but upregulation of iNOS and cardioprotection was lost. Exercise did not confer cardioprotection when the iNOS selective inhibitor 1400W was administered just before coronary artery occlusion or when iNOS−/− mice were employed. These results suggest that exercise stimulates cardiac sympathetic nerves that provoke redox-sensitive activation of eNOS, leading to upregulation of iNOS, which acts as a mediator of late cardioprotection against I/R injury.

Abstract
We investigated the role of oxidative/nitrosative stress in the tolerance to ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in BIO14.6 cardiomyopathy hamster hearts at 6 weeks of age. These hearts showed no significant morphologic change and left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. However, expression and activity of iNOS, nitrotyrosine (NT) formation, and protein kinase C (PKC)-epsilon activity were increased in these hearts. When the BIO14.6 hamster hearts were isolated and subjected to 40 min of global ischemia, they showed smaller myocardial necrosis and greater recovery of LV function during reperfusion compared with the control hamster heart. All of these effects were abrogated by prolonged treatment with the antioxidant, 2-mercaptopropionylglycine (MPG). Brief preischemic treatment with MPG or the iNOS inhibitor 1400W also abrogated NT formation and activation of PKC-epsilon and inhibited the tolerance to I/R injury in the BIO14.6 hamster heart. Brief preischemic treatment with the PKC inhibitor chelerythrine or the K(ATP) channel blockers, 5-hydroxydecanoate (5-HD) and glibenclamide, had no effect on iNOS activation and NT formation but inhibited the tolerance to I/R injury in the cardiomyopathic heart. These results suggest that oxidative/nitrosative stress plays a role in the tolerance to I/R injury in the cardiomyopathic heart through activation of PKC and the downstream effectors, K(ATP) channels.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The hypothesis that mechanical stress during reperfusion produces myocyte oncosis and inhibits apoptosis was tested in the present study. METHODS AND RESULTS Isolated and perfused rat hearts were subjected to 30 min ischemia followed by 150 min reperfusion. In the control-reperfusion heart, the form of myocyte death was a mixture of apoptosis only, oncosis only, and both apoptosis and oncosis. Apoptotic myocytes contained mitochondria that maintained membrane potential (Deltapsim), whereas oncotic myocytes contained only Deltapsim-collapsed mitochondria. Treatment with the contractile blocker 2,3-butanedione monoxime (BDM) during reperfusion increased caspase-3 activity and produced predominantly apoptosis. However, withdrawal of BDM provoked oncosis in terminal deoxynucleotide nick-end labeling (TUNEL)-positive myocytes. Myocardial stretch by inflating an intraventricular balloon at the time of reperfusion with BDM increased only oncotic myocytes, whereas the same mechanical stress 120 min after reperfusion increased oncotic myocytes positive for TUNEL. Increased mechanical stress at the time of reperfusion by treatment with isoproterenol or hyposmotic buffer inhibited caspase-3 activity and increased only oncotic myocytes. Co-treatment with the caspase-3 inhibitor, Ac-DEVD-CHO, and BDM during reperfusion inhibited myocyte apoptosis and oncosis but did not inhibit oncosis after withdrawal of BDM. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that mechanical stress is a critical determinant of the form of myocyte death during the early phase of reperfusion.

Abstract
p38 MAP kinase activation is known to be deleterious not only to mitochondria but also to contractile function. Therefore, p38 MAP kinase inhibition therapy represents a promising approach in preventing reperfusion injury in the heart. However, reversal of p38 MAP kinase-mediated contractile dysfunction may disrupt the fragile sarcolemma of ischemic-reperfused myocytes. We, therefore, hypothesized that the beneficial effect of p38 MAP kinase inhibition during reperfusion can be enhanced when contractility is simultaneously blocked. Isolated and perfused rat hearts were paced at 330 rpm and subjected to 20 min of ischemia followed by reperfusion. p38 MAP kinase was activated after ischemia and early during reperfusion (<30 min). Treatment with the p38 MAP kinase inhibitor SB-203580 (10 μM) for 30 min during reperfusion, but not the c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase inhibitor SP-600125 (10 μM), improved contractility but increased creatine kinase release and infarct size. Cotreatment with SB-203580 and the contractile blocker 2,3-butanedione monoxime (BDM, 20 mM) or the ultra-short-acting β-blocker esmorol (0.15 mM) for the first 30 min during reperfusion significantly reduced creatine kinase release and infarct size. In vitro mitochondrial ATP generation and myocardial ATP content were significantly increased in the heart cotreated with SB-203580 and BDM during reperfusion. Dystrophin was translocated from the sarcolemma during ischemia and reperfusion. SB-203580 increased accumulation of Evans blue dye in myocytes depleted of sarcolemmal dystrophin during reperfusion, whereas cotreatment with BDM facilitated restoration of sarcolemmal dystrophin and mitigated sarcolemmal damage after withdrawal of BDM. These results suggest that treatment with SB-203580 during reperfusion aggravates myocyte necrosis but concomitant blockade of contractile force unmasks cardioprotective effects of SB-203580.

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

Abstract
Dystrophin is an integral membrane protein involved in the stabilization of the sarcolemmal membrane in cardiac muscle. We hypothesized that the loss of membrane dystrophin during ischemia and reperfusion is responsible for contractile force-induced myocardial injury and that cardioprotection afforded by ischemic preconditioning (IPC) is related to the preservation of membrane dystrophin. Isolated and perfused rat hearts were subjected to 30 min of global ischemia, followed by reperfusion with or without the contractile blocker 2,3-butanedione monoxime (BDM). IPC was introduced by three cycles of 5-min ischemia and 5-min reperfusion before the global ischemia. Dystrophin was distributed exclusively in the membrane of myocytes in the normally perfused heart but was redistributed to the myofibril fraction after 30 min of ischemia and was lost from both of these compartments during reperfusion in the presence or absence of BDM. The loss of dystrophin preceded uptake of the membrane-impermeable Evans blue dye by myocytes that occurred after the withdrawal of BDM and was associated with creatine kinase release and the development of contracture. Although IPC did not alter the redistribution of membrane dystrophin induced by 30 min of ischemia, it facilitated the restoration of membrane dystrophin during reperfusion. Also, myocyte necrosis was not observed when BDM was withdrawn after complete restoration of membrane dystrophin. These results demonstrate that IPC-mediated restoration of membrane dystrophin during reperfusion correlates with protection against contractile force-induced myocardial injury and suggest that the cardioprotection conferred by IPC can be enhanced by the temporary blockade of contractile activity until restoration of membrane dystrophin during reperfusion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND On the basis of the hypothesis that cardioplegia-associated myocardial depression was due to activation of protein kinase C, we examined whether specific protein kinase C isozymes would translocate to a cellular fraction containing myofilaments. METHODS Isolated rat hearts were perfused with Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate buffer for 30 minutes and arrested with 4 degrees C St Thomas No. 2 cardioplegic solution for 0 to 120 minutes (n = 5 per group). The 3 fractions of the left ventricle tissue represented the myofibrillar/nuclear fraction (P1), membranes (P2), and cytosol (supernatant). The distributions of protein kinase C isozymes alpha, delta, epsilon, and eta were examined after separation by electrophoresis, immunoblotting/chemiluminescence, and densitometry. RESULTS A significant increase in protein kinase C-delta in the P1 fraction was detected after 5 minutes of cardioplegic arrest and remained increased for 60 minutes. Increases in P1 protein kinase C-alpha and -epsilon were seen transiently at 5 minutes, and protein kinase C-epsilon demonstrated a secondary increase in P1 at 30 to 60 minutes. There was also a significant relative increase in protein kinase C-alpha and protein kinase C-delta in the P2 fraction after 60 minutes of cardioplegia. CONCLUSIONS These data are consistent with our hypothesis that activation of protein kinase C isozymes is associated with altered myofilament function after cardioplegic arrest.

Abstract
1. Although pharmacological preconditioning (PPC) has emerged as an alternative to ischaemic preconditioning (IPC) in cardioprotection, the efficacy of PPC compared with IPC has not been investigated. Because IPC is mediated by complex signalling cascades arising from multiple triggers, we have hypothesized that combined PPC is necessary to mimic IPC. 2. Isolated and perfused rat hearts underwent IPC by three cycles of 5 min ischaemia and 5 min reperfusion before 30 min global ischaemia followed by 120 min reperfusion. Adenosine (30 micromol/L), diazoxide (50 micromol/L) and s-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP; 50 micromol/L) were added for 25 min just before (pretreatment modality) or 45 min before (PPC modality) the index ischaemia. 3. Ischaemic preconditioning significantly improved isovolumic left ventricular (LV) function and reduced infarct size. Although pretreatment with adenosine, diazoxide or SNAP alone was capable of reducing infarct size, PPC with each drug alone or in a combination of two drugs except for diazoxide plus SNAP failed to reduce infarct size. In contrast, PPC in combination with adenosine, diazoxide and SNAP (triple combination PPC) conferred significant improvement of LV function and reduction of infarct size that was as effective as IPC. 4. Cardioprotection afforded by triple combination PPC was abolished by the Gi/o-protein inhibitor pertussis toxin, the mitochondiral KATP channel inhibitor 5-hydroxydecanoate or the nitric oxide (NO) scavenger 2-(4-carboxyphenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl imidazoline-1-oxyl 3-oxide (carboxy-PTIO). 5. Protein kinase C (PKC)-epsilon in the particulate fraction was activated throughout preconditioning ischaemia and reperfusion. Although PKC-epsilon was activated during treatment with adenosine, diazoxide or SNAP alone, it was inactivated after washout. In contrast, PKC-epsilon remained activated after triple combination PPC. The PKC inhibitor chelerythrine abolished activation of PKC-epsilon and cardioprotection afforded by IPC and triple combination PPC. 6. These results demonstrate that combined PPC with a G-protein-coupled receptor agonist, a mitochondrial KATP channel opener and an NO donor is necessary to mimic IPC and such synergistic cardioprotection is associated with enhanced and sustained activation of PKC-epsilon.

Abstract
Because the absence of sarcolemmal dystrophin renders cardiomyocytes vulnerable to mechanical force, the present study investigated whether sarcolemmal membrane fragility upon reperfusion is associated with the loss of membrane dystrophin. Dystrophin was distributed exclusively in the sarcolemmal membrane of buffer-perfused rat cardiomyocytes, but was translocated to the myofibrils during 30 min of ischemia and then lost during reperfusion. Upon reperfusion, the membrane impermeable dye, Evans blue (EB), accumulated in cardiomyocytes depleted of dystrophin. Reperfusion with the contractile blocker 2,3-butanedione monoxime (BDM) resulted in no accumulation of EB in cardiomyocytes despite the loss of dystrophin. Upon withdrawal of BDM, however, EB accumulated in dystrophin-depleted cardiomyocytes. Loss of sarcolemmal dystrophin may be involved in the mechanism of contractile force-induced reperfusion injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mitochondrial K(ATP) channel activation is an essential component of ischemic preconditioning. These channels are selectively opened by diazoxide and may be up-regulated by adenosine and nitric oxide. Therefore, pharmacological preconditioning with diazoxide in combination with adenosine and a nitric oxide donor (triple-combination pharmacological preconditioning) may enhance cardioprotection. METHODS AND RESULTS Isolated and perfused rat hearts underwent ischemic preconditioning with 3 cycles of 5 minutes of ischemia and 5 minutes of reperfusion before 5 minutes of oxygenated potassium cardioplegia and 35 minutes of ischemia. Pharmacological preconditioning was performed by adding adenosine, diazoxide, and a nitric oxide donor S-nitroso-N-acetyl-penicillamine each alone or in combinations for 25 minutes followed by 10 minutes washout before cardioplegic arrest. Only triple-combination pharmacological preconditioning conferred significant cardioprotection as documented by highly improved left ventricular function and limited creatine kinase release during reperfusion that was comparable to that afforded by ischemic preconditioning. Mitochondrial K(ATP) channel activity assessed by flavoprotein oxidation was increased by diazoxide, but no further increase in flavoprotein oxidation was obtained by ischemic preconditioning and triple-combination pharmacological preconditioning. Significant activation of protein kinase C-epsilon was observed in only ischemic preconditioning and triple-combination pharmacological preconditioning. Pretreatment with the mitochondrial K(ATP) channel inhibitor 5-hydroxydecanoate or the protein kinase C inhibitor chelerythrine abrogated activation of protein kinase C-epsilon and cardioprotection afforded by ischemic preconditioning and triple-combination pharmacological preconditioning. CONCLUSIONS Integrated pharmacological preconditioning is not simply mediated by enhanced mitochondrial K(ATP) channel activation, but is presumably mediated through amplified protein kinase C signaling promoted by coordinated interaction of adenosine, mitochondrial K(ATP) channel activation, and nitric oxide.

Abstract
1. Activation of mitochondrial KATP (mitoKATP) channels and protein kinase C (PKC) has been implicated in cardioprotective mechanisms of ischaemic preconditioning (IPC). However, the exact role of these events in early IPC remains unclear. 2. Isolated and perfused rat hearts underwent IPC with three cycles of 5 min ischaemia and 5 min reperfusion. The heart was subjected to 30 min global ischaemia followed by 120 min reperfusion. Flavoprotein oxidation was monitored to assess mitoKATP channel activity. Cardioprotection was evaluated by recovery of isovolumic left ventricular (LV) function and infarct size. 3. Diazoxide (50 mgr;mol/L) increased flavoprotein oxidation and conferred cardioprotection in a manner sensitive to the selective mitoKATP channel blocker 5-hydroxydecanoate (5-HD; 0.5 mmol/L). 4. Pretreatment with 0.5 mmol/L 5-HD abrogated IPC-induced flavoprotein oxidation and cardioprotection, whereas late treatment with 5-HD after IPC required a higher dose (2 mmol/L) to abolish flavoprotein oxidation and cardioprotection afforded by IPC. 5. Pretreatment with the PKC inhibitors Ro318425 (1 micro mol/L) and chelerythrine (5 micro mol/L) abolished IPC-induced flavoprotein oxidation and cardioprotection, whereas late treatment with Ro318425 required a higher dose (4 micro mol/L) to abolish flavoprotein oxidation and cardioprotection. 6. In conclusion, these results suggest that activation of mitoKATP channels is the trigger and the mediator of IPC and that PKC plays a crucial role in both phases of mitoKATP channel activation, although mitoKATP channels and PKC may be more activated during the mediator phase.

Abstract
Extracellular ATP plays an important role in ischemic preconditioning (IPC) through the activation of P(2y) purinoceptors. This study examined whether ATP-stimulated P(2y) purinoceptors are coupled to pertussis toxin (PTX)-insensitive G protein and whether activation of this pathway enhances myocardial protection afforded by IPC. The rat was treated with PTX for 48 h, and the heart was then isolated and buffer perfused. The heart underwent IPC by three cycles of 5-min ischemia and 5-min reperfusion before 25 min of global ischemia. Isovolumic left ventricular function was measured, and functional recovery at 30 min after reperfusion was taken as an end point of myocardial protection. PTX pretreatment partially inhibited functional protection by IPC. Treatment with 100 microM 8-(p-sulfophenyl) theophylline (SPT) during IPC had no further effect on PTX-induced inhibition of functional protection by IPC, whereas suramin (300 microM) or reactive blue (RB) (10 microM) completely abolished myocardial protection in the preconditioned heart pretreated with PTX. Supplementation with adenosine (30 microM), ATP (30 microM), or UTP (50 microM) significantly enhanced IPC-induced functional protection, although preconditioning with these nucleotides without IPC had no protective effect. Adenosine-enhanced IPC was inhibited by pretreatment with PTX and SPT but not by suramin or RB, whereas ATP-enhanced IPC was inhibited by suramin or RB in combination with PTX pretreatment. On the other hand, UTP-enhanced IPC was not affected by PTX pretreatment but was inhibited by suramin or RB. Adenosine supplemented IPC without PTX pretreatment and ATP supplemented IPC with PTX pretreatment were not affected by nitric oxide synthase inhibitor N(omega)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (100 microM). Although the protein kinase C inhibitor Ro318425 (0.3 microM) or tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein (50 microM) had no significant effect on the functional protection afforded by adenosine-supplemented IPC without PTX pretreatment and ATP-supplemented IPC with PTX pretreatment, the combination of Ro318425 and genistein attenuated functional protection afforded by both the purinoceptor agonist-supplemented IPC. These results suggest the crucial involvement of PTX-sensitive and -insensitive G protein coupled purinoceptors in enhanced IPC by supplementation with adenosine, ATP, and UTP.

Abstract
Although adenosine is an important mediator of ischemic preconditioning (IPC), its relative contribution to IPC remains unknown. Because adenosine is formed through the hydrolysis of ATP, the present study investigated the role of ATP and adenosine in IPC. Isolated and buffer-perfused rat hearts underwent IPC by three cycles of 5-min ischemia and 5-min reperfusion before 25 min of global ischemia. The rate-pressure product (RPP) 30 min after reperfusion was taken as an endpoint of functional protection. Interstitial fluid (ISF) adenine nucleotides and adenosine were measured by cardiac microdialysis techniques. Inhibition of IPC-induced recovery of RPP was partial by the adenosine receptor antagonist 8-(p-sulfophenyl)theophylline (SPT; 100 microM) or by the structurally distinct P2Y purinoceptor antagonists suramin (300 microM) or reactive blue (RB; 10 microM) but was additive when SPT was given with suramin or RB. The P2X antagonist pyridoxal-phosphate-6-azophenyl-2',4'-disulfonic acid tetrasodium (50 microM) had no effect on functional protection. The improved functional recovery was not significantly affected by an ecto-5'-nucleotidase inhibitor, alpha,beta-methylene adenosine diphosphate (AMP-CP; 100 microM), alone but was inhibited by AMP-CP plus SPT, suramin, or RB. ISF ATP and adenosine increased temporarily by 10-fold during IPC. AMP-CP augmented the increase in ISF ATP associated with the decrease in ISF adenosine. There was a reciprocal correlation between the ISF concentration of ATP and adenosine in preconditioned hearts. In addition, there was a significant correlation between ISF adenosine and ATP and the inhibitory potency of SPT and suramin or RB against functional protection conferred by IPC. These results suggest that extracellular ATP and adenosine play a complementary role in IPC through P2Y purinoceptors and adenosine receptors, respectively.
