Abstract
Swimming is important for promoting and maintaining health, as it can increase the efficiency of the cardiovascular system and decrease the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases. The objective of the present study was to examine whether swimming training could decrease myocardial injury in rats caused by myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into four groups, namely the Sham, coronary artery occlusion, swimming training and ischemic preconditioning (IPC) groups. Myocardial I/R was induced in anesthetized male Sprague-Dawley rats by a 40-min occlusion followed by a 3-h reperfusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery. The rats were sacrificed after surgery and their hearts were examined. The results demonstrated that the number of TUNEL-positive nuclei and degree of caspase-3 activation were both significantly increased in the myocardium following myocardial I/R in rats, indicating increased cardiomyocyte apoptosis. On the other hand, swimming training decreased the serum levels of creatine phosphokinase, lactate dehydrogenase and cardiac troponin I, and was associated with reduced histological damage and myocardial infarct size. Furthermore, swimming training also reduced TNF-α levels, caspase-3 activation and enhanced Bcl-2 activation, which decreased the number of apoptotic cells in the myocardium. The findings of the present study showed that swimming training and IPC could similarly decrease myocardial injury following myocardial I/R, and may therefore be used as exercise training to effectively prevent myocardial injury.

Abstract
Several interventions, such as ischemic preconditioning, remote pre/perconditioning, or postconditioning, are known to decrease lethal myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. While several signal transduction pathways become activated by such maneuvers, they all have a common end point, namely, the mitochondria. These organelles represent an essential target of the cardioprotective strategies, and the preservation of mitochondrial function is central for the reduction of ischemia-reperfusion injury. In the present review, we address the role of mitochondria in the different conditioning strategies; in particular, we focus on alterations of mitochondrial function in terms of energy production, formation of reactive oxygen species, opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore, and mitochondrial dynamics induced by ischemia-reperfusion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In embryonic myocytes, closure of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (PTP) drives mitochondrial maturation and cardiac myocyte differentiation. Since neonatal cardiac myocytes remain relatively immature, we hypothesized that inducing PTP closure at this age, by inhibiting the PTP regulator, cyclophilin D (CyPD), genetically or with Cyclosporin A (CsA) and NIM811, would increase cardiac function by increasing mitochondrial maturation and myocyte differentiation. METHODS Cultured neonatal myocytes or neonatal mice were treated for 5 d with vehicle, CsA or NIM811. Mitochondrial function and structure were measured in vitro. Myocyte differentiation was assessed by immunolabeling for contractile proteins. Cardiac function was determined using echocardiography. RESULTS The probability of PTP opening was high in WT neonatal myocytes. Treatment with CsA or NIM811 in vitro increased mitochondrial structural complexity and membrane potential, decreased reactive oxygen species levels, and increased myocyte differentiation. WT mice treated with either CsA or NIM811 in vivo for the first 5 d of life had higher ejection fractions. Deleting CyPD had similar effects as CsA and NIM811 on all parameters. CONCLUSIONS It may be feasible to inhibit the PTP using available drugs to increase mitochondrial maturation, myocyte differentiation, and cardiac function in neonates.

In vivo study of hepatic oxidative stress and mitochondrial function in rabbits with severe hypotension after propofol prolonged infusion. SPRINGERPLUS 2016; 5:1349.

Abstract
In humans, prolonged sedations with propofol or using high doses have been associated with propofol infusion syndrome. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of prolonged high-dose administration of a specific propofol emulsion (Propofol Lipuro) and an improved lipid formulation (SMOFlipid) in liver mitochondrial bioenergetics and oxidative stress of rabbits, comparatively to a saline control. Twenty-one male New Zealand white rabbits were randomly allocated in three groups that were continuously treated for 20 h. Each group of seven animals received separately: NaCl 0.9 % (saline), SMOFlipid (lipid-based emulsion without propofol) and Lipuro 2 % (propofol lipid emulsion). An intravenous propofol bolus of 20 mg kg−1 was given to the propofol Lipuro group to allow blind orotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation. Anesthesia was maintained using infusion rates of: 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 mg kg−1 h−1, according to the clinical scale of anesthetic depth and the index of consciousness values. The SMOFlipid and saline groups received the same infusion rate as the propofol Lipuro group, which were infused during 20 consecutive hours. At the end, the animals were euthanized, livers collected and mitochondria isolated by standard differential centrifugation. Mitochondrial respiration, membrane potential, swelling and oxidative stress were evaluated. Data were processed using one-way ANOVA (p < 0.05). The animals revealed a significant decrease in cardiovascular parameters showing bradycardia and severe hypotension. No statistical differences were observed when using pyruvate as substrate, however, when using succinate as respiratory substrate, significant decrease in ADP-stimulated respiration rate was observed for SMOFlipid group (p = 0.002). Lipid peroxides (p < 0.01) and protein carbonyls (p = 0.01) showed a statistically significant difference between propofol Lipuro and the SMOFlipid groups. These results suggest that lipid-based emulsions can be involved in the regulation of different pathways that ultimately lead to a decrease of state 3 mitochondrial respiration rate. The infusion of propofol Lipuro during prolonged periods, in addition to marked hypotension and hypoperfusion, also showed to have higher anti-oxidant activity and lower impairment of the mitochondrial function comparatively to the improved lipid formulation, SMOFlipid, using the rabbit as animal model.

Abstract
Preventing cyclophilin D (cypD) translocation to the inner mitochondrial membrane can limit lethal reperfusion injury through the inhibition of the opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore. Inhibition or loss of function of cypD may also result into an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress that has been shown to alter cell survival. We therefore questioned whether ER stress might play a role in the protection induced by CypD deficiency or inhibition. CypD-KO and NIM811 (a CypD inhibitor)-treated mice were subjected to a prolonged ischemia-reperfusion (I/R). Area at risk and infarct size was measured using blue dye and triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining. ER stress markers were measured in the hearts during the reperfusion phase. As expected, cypD-KO mice exhibited a decreased infarct size when compared to wild-type mice (8 ± 1 vs. 20 ± 4% of left ventricular weight; p < 0.01). CypD-deficient mice displayed an increased expression of ER stress proteins such as eukaryotic initiation factor 2α (eIF2α) or glucose regulated protein 78 (Grp78 or Bip). The ER stress inhibitor TUDCA prevented the infarct size reduction afforded by the loss of cypD function (mean infarct size averaged 21 ± 4% of LV weight, p < 0.01 vs. cypD-KO). Similar results were obtained when NIM811, an analog of cyclosporine A, was used to pharmacologically (instead of genetically) inhibit cypD function. This study suggests that the ER stress induced by the inhibition of cypD function plays a key role in protecting the heart against lethal ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Abstract
The hypoxic conditions induced by reduced blood flow decreases oxygen availability in target tissues. Cellular hypoxia leads to mitochondrial dysfunction, decreased energy production, and increased production of reactive oxygen species. To determine the alteration in expression of mitochondrial genes after hypoxia in cardiomyocytes, we developed a rodent mitochondrial gene chip (RoMitoChip). The chip had 1088 probe sets including 46 probe sets representing 37 mouse mitochondrial DNA transcripts and the remaining probe sets representing mouse nuclear genes contributing to the mitochondrial structure and function. Mouse cardiomyocytes isolated from neonatal C57BL/6 mice that were subjected to hypoxia (1% oxygen) for different time intervals demonstrated a dichotomy in the expression profile of tRNA and mRNA transcripts. We report a total of 483 signature genes that were altered by hypoxia in the cardiac myocytes and related to mitochondrial structure and function. This includes 23 transcripts on mitochondrial DNA. Pathway analysis demonstrated predominant changes in the expression of genes involved in oxidative phosphorylation, glucose and fatty acid metabolism, and apoptosis. The most upregulated genes after 24 h of hypoxia included hypoxia-inducible factor 1, alpha subunit, inducible genes Bnip3, Pdk1, and Aldoc. Whereas Bnip3 is important in the cardiomyocyte death pathway, Pdk1 enzyme is critical in conserving mitochondrial function by diverting metabolic intermediates to glycolysis. This study identifies the participation of two important pathways, cell death and glycolytic, and two key proteins, Bnip3 and Pdk1, playing critical roles in these pathways in cardiomyocytes after severe hypoxia.

Abstract
Infarct size is determined not only by the severity of ischemia but also by pathological processes initiated at reperfusion. Accumulating experimental evidence indicates that lethal reperfusion injury might account for up to half of the final size of the myocardial infarct. Ischemic postconditioning (brief repeated periods of ischemia-reperfusion applied at the onset of coronary reflow) has been recently described as a powerful cardioprotection mechanism that prevents lethal reperfusion injury. This is the first method proven to reduce the final infarct size by about 50% in several in vivo models and to be confirmed in recent preliminary human studies. The molecular pathways are incompletely mapped but they probably converge to a mitochondrial key target: the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (PTP) which opening during early reperfusion is an event that promotes myocardial cell death. In different animal models and experimental settings, pharmacological PTP inhibition at the onset of reperfusion reproduces all the cardioprotective effects of ischemic postconditioning. In a recent proof-of-concept trial, the administration (just before percutaneous coronary intervention) of cyclosporine A, a potent PTP inhibitor, was associated with smaller infarct size. This review will focus on the physiological preclinical data on both ischemic and pharmacological postconditioning that are relevant to their translation to clinical therapeutics.

Abstract
The therapeutic strategies for acute myocardial infarction in the last decade have, among other therapeutic targets, focused on myocardial reperfusion injury, which accounts for a significant part of the final infarct size. Although several experiments in the last 20 years have reported that pharmacological interventions at reperfusion might reduce myocardial reperfusion injury, this could not be consistently confirmed in animal models or human studies. An alternative to chemical modifiers, postconditioning (brief repeated periods of ischemia applied at the onset of reperfusion) is the first method proven to be efficient in different animal models and to be confirmed in a recent human study. This simple method, applied in the first minute of reperfusion, reduces the final infarct size by 30–50%. This review will focus on the postconditioning technique and show how the data from different animal models and experimental settings have advanced our understanding of both the mechanisms and the definition of an accurate protocol that is easily applicable in human patients in the setting of acute myocardial infarction.

Second-generation sulfonylureas preserve inhibition of mitochondrial permeability transition by the mitochondrial K+(ATP) opener nicorandil in experimental myocardial infarction.

Abstract
Openers of K+(ATP) channels protect the myocardium from I/R injury. Sulfonylureas are known as potent blockers of K(ATP) channels. We investigated whether 1) mitochondrial permeability transition pore may be involved in the protection afforded by the mitoK+(ATP) opener nicorandil and 2) whether sulfonylureas may prevent this beneficial effect. Anesthetized New Zealand White rabbits underwent 30 min of coronary artery occlusion, followed by 60 (isolated mitochondria) or 240 min (infarct size) of reperfusion. They received an administration of either saline (control) or nicorandil (0.5 mg kg(-1), i.v.) 15 min before ischemia. Each control and nicorandil group was divided in four subgroups pretreated by either saline, glibenclamide (Glib; 1 mg kg(-1)), gliclazide (Glic; 1 mg kg(-1)), or glimepiride (Glim; 5 microg kg(-1)) 10 min before this. Infarct size was assessed by triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining. Mitochondria were isolated from the area at risk for further assessment of the calcium retention capacity. Glibenclamide (35 +/- 8), but neither Glic (61 +/- 9) nor Glim (48 +/- 7), reversed the improvement in calcium retention capacity due to nicorandil (58 +/- 10 vs. 27 +/- 8 nmoles CaCl2 mg(-1) proteins in control). Infarct size reduction by nicorandil (32% +/- 6% vs. 65% +/- 6% of area at risk) was abolished by Glib (55 +/- 5) but not by Glic (37 +/- 3) or Glim (31 +/- 5). These data suggest that 1) the protective effect of nicorandil involves the inhibition of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore and 2) that unlike Glib, second-generation sulfonylureas preserve this cardioprotection.

Abstract
Mitochondria are central players in the pathophysiology of ischemia-reperfusion. Activation of plasma membrane G-coupled receptors or the Na,K-ATPase triggers cytosolic signaling pathways that result in cardioprotection. Our working hypothesis is that the occupied receptors migrate to caveolae, where signaling enzymes are scaffolded into signalosomes that bud off the plasma membrane and migrate to mitochondria. The signalosome-mitochondria interaction then initiates intramitochondrial signaling by opening the mitochondrial ATP-sensitive K(+) channel (mitoK(ATP)). MitoK(ATP) opening causes an increase in ROS production, which activates mitochondrial protein kinase C epsilon (PKCvarepsilon), which inhibits the mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT), thus decreasing cell death. We review the experimental findings that bear on these hypotheses and other modes of protection involving mitochondria.
