Abstract
Insulin signals through several intracellular pathways. Here, we tested the hypothesis that insulin modulates Na+/H+ exchange (NHE) activity in vascular cells through H2O2-mediated inhibition of tyrosine phosphatase Src homology 2 domain containing tyrosine phosphatase 2 (SHP-2). We measured intracellular pH (pHi) in isolated mouse mesenteric arteries using fluorescence confocal and wide-field microscopy. In the absence of CO2/HCO3−, removal of bath Na+ produced endothelial acidification (ΔpHi = −0.71 ± 0.12) inhibited by cariporide. Cariporide reduced endothelial steady-state pHi (ΔpHi=−0.28 ± 0.08). Insulin and H2O2 acidified endothelial cells 0.2–0.3 pH units and reduced the acidification upon Na+ removal by ∼65%. Cariporide abolished the effect of insulin and H2O2. In vascular smooth muscle cells, H2O2 produced intracellular acidification (ΔpHi = −0.48 ± 0.06) as did high concentrations of insulin (ΔpHi = −0.03 ± 0.01). NHE activity after an NH4+ prepulse was ∼80% attenuated by H2O2 and ∼40% by high insulin concentrations. H2O2 had no effect on Na+-HCO3− cotransport activity. NHE1 (slc9a1) was the only plasma membrane NHE isoform detected in mouse mesenteric arteries by RT-PCR analyses. In both cell types, polyethylene glycol catalase abolished the effect of insulin on pHi. Exposure to insulin increased the intracellular concentration of reactive oxygen species estimated with the fluorophore 5-(6)-chloromethyl-2′,7′-dichlorodihydrofluorescein. The SHP-2 selective inhibitor NSC-87877 and protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) inhibitor IV reduced steady-state pHi up to 0.3 pH units and inhibited NHE activity 60–80%; when applied in combination with insulin or H2O2, no further effect was obtained. We conclude that NHE contributes to pHi regulation in arterial endothelial and smooth muscle cells in situ and is inhibited by insulin and H2O2. We propose that insulin signaling involves H2O2 and inhibition of PTP SHP-2.

Abstract
There is considerable controversy regarding the tolerance of diabetic hearts to ischaemia and the underlying mechanisms responsible for the increased heart tolerance to ischamia remain uncertain. In the present study, we observed, in vitro, type 1 diabetic heart responses to ischaemia and reperfusion at different degrees of hyperglycaemia. In addition, the possible role of increased osmolarity in cardioprotection due to hyperglycaemia was evaluated. Hearts from 3 week streptozocin-induced diabetic rats were isolated and perfused in a Langendorff apparatus and subjected to 30 min ischaemia and 30 min reperfusion. Cardiac function and the electrocardiogram were recorded. Myocardial content of osmolarity associated heat shock protein (hsp) 90, heme oxygenase (HO)-1 and anti-oxidant enzymes were determined in diabetic or hyperosmotic solution-perfused hearts using western blot. The hsp90 inhibitor 17-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG; 2 x 10(-7) mol/L) or the nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor Nomega-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (1 x 10(-5) mol/L) was added to the perfusate to observe the effects of hsp90 inhibition and hsp90-associated endothelial NOS on ischaemic responses of diabetic hearts. Compared with normal control rats, diabetic hearts with severe hyperglycaemia (blood glucose > 20 mmol/L) showed markedly improved postischaemic heart function with fewer reperfusion arrhythmias. Mild hyperglycaemia (< 12 mmol/L) exhibited no significant cardioprotection. Elevated expression of hsp90 accompanied the enhanced resistance to ischaemia in diabetic hearts, which was abrogated by 17-AAG. In the presence of the NOS inhibitor, heart function was preserved, whereas reperfusion arrhythmias were increased in diabetes. Diabetic hearts also had markedly elevated HO-1 and catalase, with no significant change in superoxide dismutase. Hyperosmotic perfusion with glucose or mannitol also increased myocardial hsp90 and catalase. The present findings reveal that heart resistance to ischaemia is increased in short-term type 1 diabetes with severe hyperglycaemia. Elevated osmolarity caused by significant hyperglycaemia may contribute to the enhanced myocardial activity against oxidative injury during ischaemia and reperfusion.

Abstract
Many studies suggest myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury results largely from cytosolic proton (Hi)-stimulated increases in cytosolic Na (Nai), which cause Na/Ca exchange-mediated increases in cytosolic Ca concentration ([Ca]i). Because cold, crystalloid cardioplegia (CCC) limits [H]i, we tested the hypothesis that in newborn hearts, CCC diminishes Hi, Nai, and Cai accumulation during I/R to limit injury. NMR measured intracellular pH (pHi), Nai, [Ca]i, and ATP in isolated Langendorff-perfused newborn rabbit hearts. The control ischemia protocol was 30 min for baseline perfusion, 40 min for global ischemia, and 40 min for reperfusion, all at 37°C. CCC protocols were the same, except that ice-cold CCC was infused for 5 min before ischemia and heart temperature was lowered to 12°C during ischemia. Normal potassium CCC solution (NKCCC) was identical to the control perfusate, except for temperature; the high potassium (HKCCC) was identical to NKCCC, except that an additional 11 mmol/l KCl was substituted isosmotically for NaCl. NKCCC and HKCCC were not significantly different for any measurement. The following were different ( P < 0.05). End-ischemia pHi was higher in the CCC than in the control group. Similarly, CCC limited increases in Nai during I/R. End-ischemia Nai values (in meq/kg dry wt) were 115 ± 16 in the control group, 49 ± 13 in the NKCCC group, and 37 ± 12 in the HKCCC group. CCC also improved [Ca]i recovery during reperfusion. After 40 min of reperfusion, [Ca]i values (in nmol/l) were 302 ± 50 in the control group, 145 ± 13 in the NKCCC group, and 182 ± 19 in the HKCCC group. CCC limited ATP depletion during ischemia and improved recovery of ATP and left ventricular developed pressure and decreased creatine kinase release during reperfusion. Surprisingly, CCC did not significantly limit [Ca]i during ischemia. The latter is explained as the result of Ca release from intracellular buffers on cooling.

Abstract
Maintenance of a stable cell volume and intracellular pH is critical for normal cell function. Arguably, two of the most important ion transporters involved in these processes are the Na+/H+ exchanger isoform 1 (NHE1) and Na+ -K+ -2Cl- cotransporter isoform 1 (NKCC1). Both NHE1 and NKCC1 are stimulated by cell shrinkage and by numerous other stimuli, including a wide range of hormones and growth factors, and for NHE1, intracellular acidification. Both transporters can be important regulators of cell volume, yet their activity also, directly or indirectly, affects the intracellular concentrations of Na+, Ca2+, Cl-, K+, and H+. Conversely, when either transporter responds to a stimulus other than cell shrinkage and when the driving force is directed to promote Na+ entry, one consequence may be cell swelling. Thus stimulation of NHE1 and/or NKCC1 by a deviation from homeostasis of a given parameter may regulate that parameter at the expense of compromising others, a coupling that may contribute to irreversible cell damage in a number of pathophysiological conditions. This review addresses the roles of NHE1 and NKCC1 in the cellular responses to physiological and pathophysiological stress. The aim is to provide a comprehensive overview of the mechanisms and consequences of stress-induced stimulation of these transporters with focus on the heart, brain, and blood. The physiological stressors reviewed are metabolic/exercise stress, osmotic stress, and mechanical stress, conditions in which NHE1 and NKCC1 play important physiological roles. With respect to pathophysiology, the focus is on ischemia and severe hypoxia where the roles of NHE1 and NKCC1 have been widely studied yet remain controversial and incompletely elucidated.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Sevoflurane preconditioning (SPC) in adult hearts reduces myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, an effect that may be mediated by reductions in intracellular Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](i)) and/or mitochondrial Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](m)) accumulation during ischemia and reperfusion. Because the physiology, pharmacology, and metabolic responses of the newborn differ from adults, we tested the hypothesis that SPC protects newborn myocardium by limiting [Ca(2+)](i) and [Ca(2+)](m) by a K(ATP) channel-dependent mechanism. Fluorescence spectrofluorometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy were used to measure [Ca(2+)](i), [Ca(2+)](m), and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in 4- to 7-day-old Langendorff-perfused rabbit hearts. Three experimental groups were used to study the effect of SPC on [Ca(2+)](m)/[Ca(2+)](i), ATP, as well as hemodynamics and ischemic injury. The role of mitochondrial K(ATP) channels was assessed by exposing the SPC hearts to the mitochondrial K(ATP) channel blocker 5-hydroxydecanoic acid. Our results show that SPC significantly decreased [Ca(2+)](i) and [Ca(2+)](m) during I/R, as well as decreased creatine kinase release during reperfusion and resulted in higher ATP. 5-Hydroxydecanoic acid abolished the effect of SPC on [Ca(2+)], hemodynamics, ATP, and creatine kinase release. In conclusion, decreased [Ca(2+)](i) and [Ca(2+)](m) observed with SPC is associated with greater ATP recovery as well as diminished cell injury. Mitochondrial K(ATP) channel blockade attenuates the SPC effect during I/R, suggesting that these channels are involved in the protective effects of SPC in the newborn. IMPLICATIONS The results of this study support the hypothesis that sevoflurane preconditioning protects newborn hearts from calcium overload and ischemic injury via a mechanism dependent on mitochondrial KATP channels.

Abstract
In this study, we test the hypothesis that in newborn hearts (as in adults) hypoxia and acidification stimulate increased Na(+) uptake, in part via pH-regulatory Na(+)/H(+) exchange. Resulting increases in intracellular Na(+) (Na(i)) alter the force driving the Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger and lead to increased intracellular Ca(2+). NMR spectroscopy measured Na(i) and cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) and pH (pH(i)) in isolated, Langendorff-perfused 4- to 7-day-old rabbit hearts. After Na(+)/K(+) ATPase inhibition, hypoxic hearts gained Na(+), whereas normoxic controls did not [19 +/- 3.4 to 139 +/- 14.6 vs. 22 +/- 1.9 to 22 +/- 2.5 (SE) meq/kg dry wt, respectively]. In normoxic hearts acidified using the NH(4)Cl prepulse, pH(i) fell rapidly and recovered, whereas Na(i) rose from 31 +/- 18.2 to 117.7 +/- 20.5 meq/kg dry wt. Both protocols caused increases in [Ca](i); however, [Ca](i) increased less in newborn hearts than in adults (P < 0.05). Increases in Na(i) and [Ca](i) were inhibited by the Na(+)/H(+) exchange inhibitor methylisobutylamiloride (MIA, 40 microM; P < 0.05), as well as by increasing perfusate osmolarity (+30 mosM) immediately before and during hypoxia (P < 0.05). The data support the hypothesis that in newborn hearts, like adults, increases in Na(i) and [Ca](i) during hypoxia and after normoxic acidification are in large part the result of increased uptake via Na(+)/H(+) and Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchange, respectively. However, for similar hypoxia and acidification protocols, this increase in [Ca](i) is less in newborn than adult hearts.

Abstract
1. When rat cardiac muscle is subjected to an increase of osmolality, its peak twitch force is immediately inhibited. Subsequently, over a period of several minutes, twitch force undergoes restoration, the extent of which is determined by the osmolality. The aim of the present study was to determine the factors that contribute to this restorative phenomenon. 2. Trabeculae were isolated from the right ventricles of rat hearts and mounted in an organ bath at 37 degrees C. The osmolality of the bathing solution was increased by 100 mOsmol (to 400 mOsmol) by the addition of various proportions of NaCl and sucrose while recording twitch force production. The role of Na+-H+ exchange in restoring twitch force was examined by use of the specific inhibitor cariporide (HOE 642). The role of Na+-Ca2+ exchange was examined by reducing [Ca2+]o (from 2 mmol/L to 0.5 mmol/L) or by substituting LiCl for NaCl. 3. Cariporide (25 micro mol/L) completely abolished twitch force restoration, thereby implicating a central role for the Na+-H+ exchanger. At constant [Na+]o, the extent of restoration was [Ca2+]o dependent, suggesting an independent contribution by the Na+-Ca2+ exchanger. This suggestion was supported by the finding that Li+, which substitutes for Na+ on the Na+-H+ exchanger, but not on the Na+-Ca2+ exchanger, also reduced the extent of restoration of hyperosmotically inhibited twitch force. 4. We conclude that the immediate inhibition of peak twitch force of rat cardiac muscle by hyperosmotic solutions reflects, in part, elevation of [H+]i, subsequent to reduction of cell volume. Hyperosmotic activation of Na+-H+ exchange then progressively relieves the inhibitory effect of protons on force development. The accompanying increase in [Na+]i in turn enhances Ca2+ influx on the Na+-Ca2+ exchanger, with the result that twitch force undergoes further restoration.

Abstract
Although hypertonic saline has been proposed as an intravenous resuscitation fluid, the beneficial effects of the sodium load are associated with potentially deleterious effects of chloride. Since the physiological lactate anion is well metabolized, hypertonic lactate solution could represent an interesting alternative. The aim of this study was to compare metabolic and hemodynamic effects of hypertonic infusion of sodium lactate versus sodium chloride in three groups of surgical patients who underwent elective coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Hypertonic lactate solution was infused to patients 14 to 16 h after surgery either involving a cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB-Lac, n = 20) or on-off pump (OPCAB-Lac, n = 20), whereas the third group consisted of patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass but receiving hypertonic saline solution (CPB-NaCl, n = 20). An equal fluid and sodium load (2.5 mL/2.5 mmol x kg(-1)) was infused in all patients over 15 min. Plasma glucose and sodium increased after infusion in the three groups, but the changes, although significant, were small. As expected, lactate rose only in CPB-Lac and OPCAB-Lac groups, the changes being more marked in CPB-Lac, indicating a slower lactate metabolism in this group compared with OPCAB-Lac. Although both solutions produced significant increases in cardiac index and oxygen delivery, there was a significant decrease in oxygen extraction only in groups receiving sodium lactate (CPB-Lac and OPCAB-Lac) and not in CPB-NaCl. Finally, hypertonic NaCl infusion induced a modest, although significant, decrease in arterial pH and bicarbonate, whereas hypertonic lactate infusion increased these two parameters in both CPB-Lac and OPCAB-Lac. This study demonstrates that hypertonic lactate infusion is safe and well tolerated in patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery.

Abstract
Simultaneous and continuous measurements of extracellular pH, potassium (K(+)), and lactate (L(-)) in ischemic rabbit papillary muscle are presented for the first time. Potentiometric pH and K(+) sensors and an amperometric lactate biosensor were used. These miniature electrodes were previously developed and individually tested for this purpose. The pH sensor was based on an iridium oxide layer electrodeposited on a planar platinum electrode fabricated on a flexible substrate. The potentiometric K(+) sensor was based on a polymeric membrane and valinomycin ionophore. The L(-) biosensor was based on lactate oxidase and an organic conducting salt polarized at 0.15V vs Ag/AgCl reference electrode. The utility of this novel analytical system to cardiovascular research was demonstrated by using the system to study the interrelationship of cellular K(+) and lactate loss in ischemic myocardium, and the role of extracellular pH and buffer capacity on this relationship. The results indicated: (i) sequential brief episodes of ischemia produced reproducible trends of L(-), pH, and K(+) changes during the first three episodes, (ii) extracellular L(-) increased with increasing buffer capacity of extracellular compartment, (iii) the patterns of extracellular L(-) and K(+) changes were not related directly, and (iv) L(-) transport and lactic acid diffusion were not the primary cause of extracellular acidosis during ischemia.

Abstract
PURPOSE To clarify the appropriate concentration and dose of hypertonic saline solution (HSS) for preventing delayed neuronal death in the hippocampal CA1 subfield after transient forebrain ischemia in gerbils. METHODS Thirty gerbils were randomly assigned to five groups: physiological saline solution (PSS) group, ischemia/reperfusion treated with PSS 2 mL x kg(-1); 5% HSS group, treated with 5% HSS 2 mL x kg(-1); 7.5% HSS group, treated with 7.5% HSS 2 mL x kg(-1); 10% HSS group, treated with 10% HSS 2 mL x kg(-1); 20% HSS group, treated with 20% HSS 2 mL x kg(-1). Transient forebrain ischemia was induced by occluding the bilateral common carotid arteries for four minutes. Five days later, histopathological changes in the hippocampal area were examined, and the degenerative ratio of the pyramidal cells were measured according to the following formula: (number of degenerative pyramidal cells/total number of pyramidal cells per 1 mm of hippocampal CA1 subfield) x 100. RESULTS In PSS and 20% groups, neuronal cell damage was observed five days after ischemia. In the other three groups, these changes were not observed. The degenerative ratios of pyramidal cells were as follows; PSS group: 91.6 +/- 5.6%, 5% HSS group: 7.2 +/- 1.6%, 7.5% group: 8.3 +/- 1.4%, 10% HSS group: 6.2 +/- 1.1%, 20% HSS group: 85.8 +/- 8.7% (P < 0.05; PSS and 20% HSS vs three other groups). CONCLUSION This study demonstrates that 5, 7.5 or 10% HSS 2 mL x kg(-1) may prevent delayed neuronal death in the hippocampal CA1 subfield after cerebral ischemia/reperfusion in gerbils.
