Hypothermia Prevents Cardiac Dysfunction during Acute Ischemia Reperfusion by Maintaining Mitochondrial Bioenergetics and by Promoting Hexokinase II Binding to Mitochondria. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:4476448. [PMID: 35873800 PMCID: PMC9301761 DOI: 10.1155/2022/4476448] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2021] [Revised: 03/04/2022] [Accepted: 06/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Background Hypothermia (H), cardioplegia (CP), and both combined (HCP) are known to be protective against myocardial ischemia reperfusion (IR) injury. Mitochondria have molecular signaling mechanisms that are associated with both cell survival and cell death. In this study, we investigated the dynamic changes in proapoptotic and prosurvival signaling pathways mediating H, CP, or HCP-induced protection of mitochondrial function after acute myocardial IR injury. Methods Rats were divided into five groups. Each group consists of 3 subgroups based on a specific reperfusion time (5, 20, or 60 min) after a 25-min global ischemia. The time control (TC) groups were not subjected to IR but were perfused with 37 °C Krebs-Ringer's (KR) buffer, containing 4.5 mM K+, in a specific perfusion protocol that corresponded with the duration of each IR protocol. The IR group (control) was perfused for 20 min with KR, followed by 25-min global ischemia, and then KR reperfusion for 5, 20, or 60 min. The treatment groups were exposed to 17 °C H, 37 °C CP (16 mM K+), or HCP (17 °C + CP) for 5 min before ischemia and for 2 min on reperfusion before switching to 37 °C KR perfusion for the remainder of each of the reperfusion times. Cardiac function and mitochondrial redox state (NADH/FAD) were monitored online in the ex vivo hearts before, during, and after ischemia. Mitochondria were isolated at the end of each specified reperfusion time, and changes in O2 consumption, membrane potential (ΔΨm), and Ca2+ retention capacity (CRC) were assessed using complex I and complex II substrates. In another set of hearts, mitochondrial and cytosolic fractions were isolated after a specified reperfusion time to conduct western blot assays to determine hexokinase II (HKII) and Bax binding/translocation to mitochondria, cytosolic pAkt levels, and cytochrome c (Cyto-c) release into the cytosol. Results H and HCP were more protective of mitochondrial integrity and, concomitantly, cardiac function than CP alone; H and HCP improved post-ischemic cardiac function by (1) maintaining mitochondrial bioenergetics, (2) maintaining HKII binding to mitochondria with an increase in pAkt levels, (3) increasing CRC, and (4) decreasing Cyto-c release during reperfusion. Bax translocation/binding to mitochondria was unaffected by any treatment, regardless of cardiac functional recovery. Conclusions Hypothermia preserved mitochondrial function and cardiac function, in part, by maintaining mitochondrial bioenergetics, by retaining HKII binding to mitochondria via upstream pAkt, and by reducing Cyto-c release independently of Bax binding to mitochondria.

Remote Ischemic Postconditioning Protects against Myocardial Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury by Inhibition of the RAGE-HMGB1 Pathway. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2018; 2018:4565630. [PMID: 29789792 PMCID: PMC5896327 DOI: 10.1155/2018/4565630] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2017] [Revised: 11/23/2017] [Accepted: 12/24/2017] [Indexed: 01/26/2023]
Abstract
Background The aim of the present study was to observe the effect of RAGE-HMGB1 signal pathway on remote ischemic postconditioning in mice with myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury. Methods Mice model of MIRI was established and randomly divided into three groups: control group, ischemia reperfusion group, and remote ischemic postconditioning group. Infarction size was detected by Evans blue and TTC staining. Cardiac function was detected by echocardiography measurement. The protein levels of RAGE, HMGB1, P-AKT, and ERK1/2 were detected by Western blot 120 min following reperfusion. Results RIPostC could decrease the infarct size and increase LVEF and FS compared with I/R group. Two hours after myocardial ischemia reperfusion, the levels of RAGE and HMGB1 were significantly decreased in RIPostC group compared with those in I/R group. The level of p-AKT was significantly higher in the RIPostC group than in the I/R group. LY294002 significantly attenuated RIPostC-increased levels of Akt phosphorylation. Conclusion RIPostC may inhibit the expression of RAGE and HMGB1 and activate PI3K/Akt signaling pathway to extenuate ischemic reperfusion injury in mice. It could further suppress the oxidative stress, have antiapoptosis effect, and reduce inflammatory reaction, but this effect has certain timeliness.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of localized cooling and cooling rate on pressure-induced ischemia for people with and without neurological deficits. DESIGN A 2 × 3 mixed factorial design with two groups: (1) people with spinal cord injury (SCI) and (2) people without neurological deficits (control), and three test conditions: (1) pressure only, (2) pressure with fast cooling (-4°C/min), and (3) pressure with slow cooling (-0.33°C/min). SETTING University laboratory. PARTICIPANTS Fourteen controls and 14 individuals with SCI. INTERVENTIONS Pressure on the sacrum was 0.4 kPa for 5 minutes, then 8 kPa for 20 minutes, and finally 0.4 kPa for 15 minutes. Fast and slow cooling to 25°C applied during 8 kPa of pressure. OUTCOME MEASURES Reactive hyperemia and its spectral densities in the metabolic, neurogenic, and myogenic frequency ranges. RESULTS In controls, reactive hyperemia was greater in pressure only as compared with both cooling conditions. No change was noted in all spectral densities in both cooling conditions, and only neurogenic spectral density increased without cooling. In subjects with SCI, no difference was noted in reactive hyperemia among conditions. However, metabolic and myogenic spectral densities increased without cooling and all spectral densities increased with slow cooling. No change was noted in all spectral densities with fast cooling. CONCLUSION Local cooling reduced the severity of ischemia in controls. This protective effect may be masked in subjects with SCI due to chronic microvascular changes; however, spectral analysis suggested local cooling may reduce metabolic vasodilation. These findings provide evidence towards the development of support surfaces with temperature control for weight-bearing soft tissues.

Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) with subsequent left ventricular dysfunction and heart failure continues to be a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the Western world. Rapid advances in the treatment of AMI, mainly through timely reperfusion, have substantially improved outcomes in patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome and particularly ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. A vast amount of research, both translational and clinical, has been published on various pharmacological and interventional techniques to prevent myocardial cell death during the time of ischemia and subsequent reperfusion. Several methods of cardioprotection have shown the ability to limit myocardial infarction size in clinical trials. Examples of interventional techniques that have proven beneficial are ischemic post-conditioning and remote ischemic per-conditioning, both of which can reduce infarction size. Lowering core body temperature with cold saline infusion and cooling catheters have also been shown to be effective in certain circumstances. The most promising pharmaceutical cardioprotective agents at this time appear to be adenosine, atrial natriuretic peptide, and cyclosporine, with other potentially effective medications in the pipeline. Additional pre-clinical and clinical research is needed to further investigate newer cardioprotective strategies to continue the current trend of improving outcomes following AMI.

BIOCHIMICA ET BIOPHYSICA ACTA-BIOENERGETICS 2011; 1817:419-29. [PMID: 22178605 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbabio.2011.11.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 67] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2011] [Revised: 11/23/2011] [Accepted: 11/30/2011] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
Ranolazine, an anti-anginal drug, is a late Na(+) channel current blocker that is also believed to attenuate fatty acid oxidation and mitochondrial respiratory complex I activity, especially during ischemia. In this study, we investigated if ranolazine's protective effect against cardiac ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury is mediated at the mitochondrial level and specifically if respiratory complex I (NADH Ubiquinone oxidoreductase) function is protected. We treated isolated and perfused guinea pig hearts with ranolazine just before 30 min ischemia and then isolated cardiac mitochondria at the end of 30 min ischemia and/or 30 min ischemia followed by 10 min reperfusion. We utilized spectrophotometric and histochemical techniques to assay complex I activity, Western blot analysis for complex I subunit NDUFA9, electron paramagnetic resonance for activity of complex I Fe-S clusters, enzyme linked immuno sorbent assay (ELISA) for determination of protein acetylation, native gel histochemical staining for respiratory supercomplex assemblies, and high pressure liquid chromatography for cardiolipin integrity; cardiac function was measured during IR. Ranolazine treated hearts showed higher complex I activity and greater detectable complex I protein levels compared to untreated IR hearts. Ranolazine treatment also led to more normalized electron transfer via Fe-S centers, supercomplex assembly and cardiolipin integrity. These improvements in complex I structure and function with ranolazine were associated with improved cardiac function after IR. However, these protective effects of ranolazine are not mediated by a direct action on mitochondria, but rather indirectly via cytosolic mechanisms that lead to less oxidation and better structural integrity of complex I.

Abstract
Oxidative damage and impaired cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](cyto)) handling are associated with mitochondrial [Ca(2+)] ([Ca(2+)](mito)) overload and depressed functional recovery after cardiac ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. We hypothesized that hearts from old guinea pigs would demonstrate impaired [Ca(2+)](mito) handling, poor functional recovery, and a more oxidized state after I/R injury compared with hearts from young guinea pigs. Hearts from young (∼4 wk) and old (>52 wk) guinea pigs were isolated and perfused with Krebs-Ringer solution (2.1 mM Ca(2+) concentration at 37°C). Left ventricular pressure (LVP, mmHg) was measured with a balloon, and NADH, [Ca(2+)](mito) (nM), and [Ca(2+)](cyto) (nM) were measured by fluorescence with a fiber optic probe placed against the left ventricular free wall. After baseline (BL) measurements, hearts were subjected to 30 min global ischemia and 120 min reperfusion (REP). In old vs. young hearts we found: 1) percent infarct size was lower (27 ± 9 vs. 57 ± 2); 2) developed LVP (systolic-diastolic) was higher at 10 min (57 ± 11 vs. 29 ± 2) and 60 min (55 ± 10 vs. 32 ± 2) REP; 3) diastolic LVP was lower at 10 and 60 min REP (6 ± 3 vs. 29 ± 4 and 3 ± 3 vs. 21 ± 4 mmHg); 4) mean [Ca(2+)](cyto) was higher during ischemia (837 ± 39 vs. 541 ± 39), but [Ca(2+)](mito) was lower (545 ± 62 vs. 975 ± 38); 5) [Ca(2+)](mito) was lower at 10 and 60 min REP (129 ± 2 vs. 293 ± 23 and 122 ± 2 vs. 234 ± 15); 6) reduced inotropic responses to dopamine and digoxin; and 7) NADH was elevated during ischemia in both groups and lower than BL during REP. Contrary to our stated hypotheses, old hearts showed reduced [Ca(2+)](mito), decreased infarction, and improved basal mechanical function after I/R injury compared with young hearts; no differences were noted in redox state due to age. In this model, aging-associated protection may be linked to limited [Ca(2+)](mito) loading after I/R injury despite higher [Ca(2+)](cyto) load during ischemia in old vs. young hearts.

Abstract
We have recently shown that brief episodes of hypothermic perfusion interspersed with periods of normothermic perfusion, referred to as temperature preconditioning (TP), are cardioprotective and can be mimicked by consecutive isoproterenol/adenosine treatment. Here we investigate the optimal temperature for TP and whether TP further enhances protection provided by hypothermic ischemia with or without polarized cardioplegic arrest. Three experimental groups of Langendorff-perfused rat hearts were used. In the first group, hearts were subjected to three episodes of hypothermic perfusion at 7, 17, 26 and 32°C during the TP protocol, followed by 30 min normothermic index ischemia and 60 min reperfusion (37°C). Protein kinase A (PKA) activity and cyclic AMP (cAMP) concentrations were measured prior to index ischemia. In the second group, TP (26°C) hearts were subjected to two hours hypothermic index ischemia at 26°C and two hours normothermic reperfusion. In the third group, TP (26°C) hearts or hearts treated with isoproterenol/adenosine (pharmacological simulation of TP) were subjected to four hours hypothermic index ischemia with procaine-induced polarized cardioplegia at 26°C followed by two hours normothermic reperfusion. Hemodynamic function recovery, lactate dehydrogenase release and infarct size were used to assess cardioprotection. TP at 26°C resulted in highest cardioprotection, increased cAMP concentration and PKA activity, while TP at 7°C exacerbated ischemia/reperfusion damage, and had no effect on cAMP concentration or PKA activity. TP at 26°C also protected hearts during hypothermic ischemia with or without polarized cardioplegia. Isoproterenol/adenosine treatment conferred additional protection similar to TP. In conclusion, the study shows that TP-induced cardioprotection is temperature dependent and is optimal at 26°C; TP confers additional protection to hypothermia and polarized cardioplegia; and that the pharmacological treatment based on the mechanism of TP (consecutive isoproterenol/adenosine treatment) is a potential cardioprotective strategy that can be used during heart surgery and transplantation.

Abstract
We have shown that cold perfusion of hearts generates reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS). In this study, we determined 1) whether ROS scavenging only during cold perfusion before global ischemia improves mitochondrial and myocardial function, and 2) which ROS leads to compromised cardiac function during ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) injury. Using fluorescence spectrophotometry, we monitored redox balance (NADH and FAD), O(2)(*-) levels and mitochondrial Ca(2+) (m[Ca(2+)]) at the left ventricular wall in 120 guinea pig isolated hearts divided into control (Con), MnTBAP (a superoxide dismutase 2 mimetic), MnTBAP (M) + catalase (C) + glutathione (G) (MCG), C+G (CG), and N(G)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME; a nitric oxide synthase inhibitor) groups. After an initial period of warm perfusion, hearts were treated with drugs before and after at 27 degrees C. Drugs were washed out before 2 h at 27 degrees C ischemia and 2 h at 37 degrees C reperfusion. We found that on reperfusion the MnTBAP group had the worst functional recovery and largest infarction with the highest m[Ca(2+)], most oxidized redox state and increased ROS levels. The MCG group had the best recovery, the smallest infarction, the lowest ROS level, the lowest m[Ca(2+)], and the most reduced redox state. CG and L-NAME groups gave results intermediate to those of the MnTBAP and MCG groups. Our results indicate that the scavenging of cold-induced O(2)(*-) species to less toxic downstream products additionally protects during and after cold I/R by preserving mitochondrial function. Because MnTBAP treatment showed the worst functional return along with poor preservation of mitochondrial bioenergetics, accumulation of H(2)O(2) and/or hydroxyl radicals during cold perfusion may be involved in compromised function during subsequent cold I/R injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The phase-space relationship between simultaneously measured myoplasmic [Ca2+] and isovolumetric left ventricular pressure (LVP) in guinea pig intact hearts is altered by ischemic and inotropic interventions. Our objective was to mathematically model this phase-space relationship between [Ca2+] and LVP with a focus on the changes in cross-bridge kinetics and myofilament Ca2+ sensitivity responsible for alterations in Ca2+-contraction coupling due to inotropic drugs in the presence and absence of ischemia reperfusion (IR) injury. METHODS We used a four state computational model to predict LVP using experimentally measured, averaged myoplasmic [Ca2+] transients from unpaced, isolated guinea pig hearts as the model input. Values of model parameters were estimated by minimizing the error between experimentally measured LVP and model-predicted LVP. RESULTS We found that IR injury resulted in reduced myofilament Ca2+ sensitivity, and decreased cross-bridge association and dissociation rates. Dopamine (8 microM) reduced myofilament Ca2+ sensitivity before, but enhanced it after ischemia while improving cross-bridge kinetics before and after IR injury. Dobutamine (4 microM) reduced myofilament Ca2+ sensitivity while improving cross-bridge kinetics before and after ischemia. Digoxin (1 microM) increased myofilament Ca2+ sensitivity and cross-bridge kinetics after but not before ischemia. Levosimendan (1 microM) enhanced myofilament Ca2+ affinity and cross-bridge kinetics only after ischemia. CONCLUSION Estimated model parameters reveal mechanistic changes in Ca2+-contraction coupling due to IR injury, specifically the inefficient utilization of Ca2+ for contractile function with diastolic contracture (increase in resting diastolic LVP). The model parameters also reveal drug-induced improvements in Ca2+-contraction coupling before and after IR injury.

Abstract
We examined if sevoflurane given before cold ischemia of intact hearts (anesthetic preconditioning, APC) affords additional protection by further improving mitochondrial energy balance and if this is abolished by a mitochondrial KATP blocker. NADH and FAD fluorescence was measured within the left ventricular wall of 5 groups of isolated guinea pig hearts: (1) hypothermia alone; (2) hypothermia+ischemia; (3) APC (4.1% sevoflurane)+cold ischemia; (4) 5-HD+cold ischemia, and (5) APC+5-HD+cold ischemia. Hearts were exposed to sevoflurane for 15 minutes followed by 15 minutes of washout at 37 degrees C before cooling, 2 hours of 27 degrees C ischemia, and 2 hours of 37 degrees C reperfusion. The KATP channel inhibitor 5-HD was perfused before and after sevoflurane. Ischemia caused a rapid increase in NADH and a decrease in FAD that waned over 2 hours. Warm reperfusion led to a decrease in NADH and an increase in FAD. APC attenuated the changes in NADH and FAD and further improved postischemic function and reduced infarct size. 5-HD blocked the cardioprotective effects of APC but not APC-induced alterations of NADH and FAD. Thus, APC improves redox balance and has additive cardioprotective effects with mild hypothermic ischemia. 5-HD blocks APC-induced cardioprotective effects but not improvements in mitochondrial bioenergetics. This suggests that mediation of protection by KATP channel opening during cold ischemia and reperfusion is downstream from the APC-induced improvement in redox state or that these changes in redox state are not attenuated by KATP channel antagonism.

Abstract
Positive inotropic drugs may attenuate or exacerbate the deleterious effects of ischemia and reperfusion (IR) injury on excitation-contraction coupling in hearts. We 1) quantified the phase-space relationship between simultaneously measured myoplasmic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]) and isovolumetric left ventricular pressure (LVP) using indexes of loop area, orientation, and position; and 2) quantified cooperativity by linearly modeling the phase-space relationship between [Ca2+] and rate of LVP development in intact hearts during administration of positive inotropic drugs before and after global IR injury. Unpaced, isolated guinea pig hearts were perfused at a constant pressure with Krebs-Ringer solution (37 degrees C, 1.25 mM CaCl2). [Ca2+] was measured ratiometrically by indo 1 fluorescence by using a fiber-optic probe placed at the left ventricular free wall. LVP was measured by using a saline-filled latex balloon and transducer. Drugs were infused for 2 min, 30 min before, and for 2 min, 30 min after 30-min global ischemia. IR injury worsened Ca2+-contraction coupling, as seen from decreased orientation and repositioning of the loop rightward and downward and reduced cooperativity of contraction and relaxation with or without drugs. Dobutamine (4 microM) worsened, whereas dopamine (8 microM) improved Ca2+-contraction coupling before and after IR injury. Dobutamine and dopamine improved cooperativity of contraction and relaxation after IR injury, whereas only dopamine increased cooperativity of relaxation before IR injury. Digoxin (1 microM) improved Ca2+-contraction coupling and cooperativity of contraction after but not before ischemia. Levosimendan (1 microM) did not alter Ca2+-contraction coupling or cooperativity, despite producing concomitant increases in contractility, relaxation, and Ca2+ flux before and after ischemia. Dynamic indexes based on LVP-[Ca2+] diagrams (area, shape, position) can be used to identify and measure alterations in Ca2+-contraction coupling during administration of positive inotropic drugs in isolated hearts before and after IR injury.

Abstract
Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) induces distinctive changes in mitochondrial bioenergetics during warm (37 degrees C) ischemia and improves function and tissue viability on reperfusion. We examined whether IPC before 2 h of hypothermic (27 degrees C) ischemia affords additive cardioprotection and improves mitochondrial redox balance assessed by mitochondrial NADH and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) autofluorescence in intact hearts. A mediating role of ATP-sensitive K(+) (K(ATP)) channel opening was investigated. NADH and FAD fluorescence was measured in the left ventricular wall of guinea pig isolated hearts assigned to five groups of eight animals each: hypothermia alone, hypothermia with ischemia, IPC with cold ischemia, 5-hydroxydecanoic acid (5-HD) alone, and 5-HD with IPC and cold ischemia. IPC consisted of two 5-min periods of warm global ischemia spaced 5 min apart and 15 min of reperfusion before 2 h of ischemia at 27 degrees C and 2 h of warm reperfusion. The K(ATP) channel inhibitor 5-HD was perfused from 5 min before until 5 min after IPC. IPC before 2 h of ischemia at 27 degrees C led to better recovery of function and less tissue damage on reperfusion than did 27 degrees C ischemia alone. These improvements were preceded by attenuated increases in NADH and decreases in FAD during cold ischemia and the reverse changes during warm reperfusion. 5-HD blocked each of these changes induced by IPC. This study indicates that IPC induces additive cardioprotection with mild hypothermic ischemia by improving mitochondrial bioenergetics during and after ischemia. Because effects of IPC on subsequent changes in NADH and FAD were inhibited by 5-HD, this suggests that mitochondrial K(ATP) channel opening plays a substantial role in improving mitochondrial bioenergetics throughout mild hypothermic ischemia and reperfusion.

Abstract
It has been shown that anesthetics have effects of cardiac preconditioning. Heat shock proteins (HSPs) function as molecular chaperone. Among them, HSP27, a low-molecular-weight HSP, abundantly exist in heart. However, the relationship between anesthetics and HSP27 in heart is not yet clarified. We investigated whether thrombin induces or phosphorylates HSP27 in primary cultured mouse myocytes and the effect of midazolam on the thrombin-stimulated HSP27 phosphorylation and the mechanism behind it. Thrombin time dependently phosphorylated HSP27 at Ser-15 and Ser-85 while having no effect on the levels of HSP27. Midazolam markedly suppressed the thrombin-induced phosphorylation of HSP27 at both Ser-15 and Ser-85. Thrombin induced the phosphorylation of p44/p42 MAP kinase and p38 MAP kinase without affecting stress-activated protein kinase/c-Jun N-terminal kinase. In addition, midazolam attenuated the phosphorylation of thrombin-induced p38 MAP kinase but not that of p44/p42 MAP kinase. SB203580 and PD169316, inhibitors of p38 MAP kinase, suppressed the thrombin-induced phosphorylation of HSP27 at both Ser-15 and Ser-85. These results strongly suggest that thrombin induces the HSP27 phosphorylation at least through the p38 MAP kinase activation in cardiac myocytes and that midazolam inhibits the thrombin-induced HSP27 phosphorylation via suppression of p38 MAP kinase activation.

Abstract
Hypothermic perfusion of the heart decreases oxidative phosphorylation and increases NADH. Because O(2) and substrates remain available and respiration (electron transport system, ETS) may become impaired, we examined whether reactive oxygen species (ROS) exist in excess during hypothermic perfusion. A fiberoptic probe was placed on the left ventricular free wall of isolated guinea pig hearts to record intracellular ROS, principally superoxide (O(2)(-).), and an extracellular reactive nitrogen reactant, principally peroxynitrite (ONOO(-)), a product of nitric oxide (NO.) + O(2)(-). Hearts were loaded with dihydroethidium (DHE), which is oxidized by O(2)(-). to ethidium, or were perfused with l-tyrosine, which is oxidized by ONOO(-) to dityrosine (diTyr). Shifts in fluorescence were measured online; diTyr fluorescence was also measured in the coronary effluent. To validate our methods and to examine the source and identity of ROS during cold perfusion, we examined the effects of a superoxide dismutase mimetic Mn(III) tetrakis(4-benzoic acid)porphyrin chloride (MnTBAP), the nitric oxide synthase inhibitor N(G)-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME), and several agents that impair electron flux through the ETS: menadione, sodium azide (NaN(3)), and 2,3-butanedione monoxime (BDM). Drugs were given before or during cold perfusion. ROS measured by DHE was inversely proportional to the temperature between 37 degrees C and 3 degrees C. We found that perfusion at 17 degrees C increased DHE threefold versus perfusion at 37 degrees C; this was reversed by MnTBAP, but not by l-NAME or BDM, and was markedly augmented by menadione and NaN(3). Perfusion at 17 degrees C also increased myocardial and effluent diTyr (ONOO(-)) by twofold. l-NAME, MnTBAP, or BDM perfused at 37 degrees C before cooling or during 17 degrees C perfusion abrogated, whereas menadione and NaN(3) again enhanced the cold-induced increase in ROS. Our results suggest that hypothermia moderately enhances O(2)(-). generation by mitochondria, whereas O(2)(-). dismutation is markedly slowed. Also, the increase in O(2)(-). during hypothermia reacts with available NO. to produce ONOO(-), and drug-induced O(2)(-). dismutation eliminates the hypothermia-induced increase in O(2)(-).

Abstract
The authors examined effects of positive (dopamine and digoxin) and negative (nifedipine and lidocaine) inotropic interventions on the instantaneous cyclic relationship between myoplasmic [Ca2+] and simultaneously developed left ventricular pressure (LVP) in intact guinea pig hearts. Novel indices were developed to quantify this relationship based on (1) transient [Ca2+] and LVP signal morphology, ie, maxima and minima, peak derivatives, beat areas, durations, and ratios of indices of LVP to [Ca2+]; (2) temporal delay; and (3) LVP versus [Ca2+] loop morphology, ie, orientation, size, hysteresis, position, shape, and duration. These analyses were used to assess the cost of phasic [Ca2+] for contraction and relaxation over one beat after inotropic intervention. It was found that dopamine and digoxin increased contractile and relaxation responsiveness to phasic [Ca2+], cumulative Ca2+, and net Ca2+ flux. Unlike dopamine, digoxin did not decrease relaxation response time. Nifedipine and lidocaine decreased contractile and relaxation responsiveness to phasic [Ca2+], cumulative Ca2+, and net Ca2+ flux. Unlike lidocaine, nifedipine decreased net available Ca2+ and Ca2+ influx. Positive inotropic agents increased [Ca2+]-LVP loop area and hysteresis and resulted in a more vertically oriented loop. Nifedipine and lidocaine decreased these loop indices and lidocaine exhibited greater loop hysteresis than did nifedipine. These novel indices provide a quantitative assessment of myoplasmic [Ca2+] handling for cardiac contractile function.

Abstract
Cold cardioplegia protects against reperfusion damage. Blocking Na+/H+ exchange may be as protective as cardioplegia by improving the left ventricular pressure (LVP)-[Ca2+] relationship after cold ischemia. In guinea pig isolated hearts subjected to cold ischemia (4 h, 17 degrees C) and reperfusion, the cardioprotective effects of a Krebs-Ringer (KR) solution, a cardioplegia solution, a KR solution containing the Na+/H+ exchange inhibitor eniporide (1 microM), and a cardioplegia solution containing eniporide were compared. Treatments were given before and initially after cold ischemia. Systolic and diastolic [Ca2+] were calculated from indo-1 fluorescence transients recorded at the LV free wall. During ischemia, diastolic [Ca2+] increased in each group but more so in the KR group. Peak systolic and diastolic [Ca2+] on initial reperfusion were highest after KR and smallest after cardioplegia + eniporide. After reperfusion, systolic-diastolic LVP (% of baseline) and infarct size (%), respectively, were KR, 47 +/- 3%, 37 +/- 4%; cardioplegia, 71 +/- 5%*, 20 +/- 2.2%*; KR + eniporide, 73 +/- 5%*, 11 +/- 3%* dagger; and cardioplegia + eniporide 77 +/- 3%*, 10 +/- 1.4%* dagger (*P </= 0.05 vs KR; dagger P </= 0.05 vs cardioplegia). Ca2+ overload was reduced in each treated group, and most in the cardioplegia + eniporide group, and was associated with the improved function. Inhibition of Na+/H+ exchange was as effective as cardioplegia in restoring function and better than cardioplegia in reducing infarct size after hypothermic ischemia. The combination of cardioplegia and Na+/H+ exchange inhibition did not produce additive protective effects but caused a larger decrease in Ca2+ loading.

Abstract
We modeled changes in contractile element kinetics derived from the cyclic relationship between myoplasmic [Ca(2+)], measured by indo 1 fluorescence, and left ventricular pressure (LVP). We estimated model rate constants of the Ca(2+) affinity for troponin C (TnC) on actin (A) filament (TnCA) and actin and myosin (M) cross-bridge (A x M) cycling in intact guinea pig hearts during baseline 37 degrees C perfusion and evaluated changes at 1) 20 min 17 degrees C pressure, 2) 30-min reperfusion (RP) after 30-min 37 degrees C global ischemia during 37 degrees C RP, and 3) 30-min RP after 240-min 17 degrees C global ischemia during 37 degrees C RP. At 17 degrees C perfusion versus 37 degrees C perfusion, the model predicted: A x M binding was less sensitive; A x M dissociation was slower; Ca(2+) was less likely to bind to TnCA with A x M present; and Ca(2+) and TnCA binding was less sensitive in the absence of A x M. Model results were consistent with a cold-induced fall in heart rate from 260 beats/min (37 degrees C) to 33 beats/min (17 degrees C), increased diastolic LVP, and increased phasic Ca(2+). On RP after 37 degrees C ischemia vs. 37 degrees C perfusion, the model predicted the following: A x M binding was less sensitive; A x M dissociation was slower; and Ca(2+) was less likely to bind to TnCA in the absence of A. M. Model results were consistent with reduced myofilament responsiveness to [Ca(2+)] and diastolic contracture on 37 degrees C RP. In contrast, after cold ischemia versus 37 degrees C perfusion, A x M association and dissociation rates, and Ca(2+) and TnCA association rates, returned to preischemic values, whereas the dissociation rate of Ca(2+) from A x M was ninefold faster. This cardiac muscle kinetic model predicted a better-restored relationship between Ca(2+) and cross-bridge function on RP after an eightfold longer period of 17 degrees C than 37 degrees C ischemia.
