New advances in the protective mechanisms of acidic pH after ischemia: Participation of NO. Arch Biochem Biophys 2024; 758:110059. [PMID: 38936683 DOI: 10.1016/j.abb.2024.110059] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2024] [Revised: 06/03/2024] [Accepted: 06/07/2024] [Indexed: 06/29/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND It has been previously demonstrated that the maintenance of ischemic acidic pH or the delay of intracellular pH recovery at the onset of reperfusion decreases ischemic-induced cardiomyocyte death. OBJECTIVE To examine the role played by nitric oxide synthase (NOS)/NO-dependent pathways in the effects of acidic reperfusion in a regional ischemia model. METHODS Isolated rat hearts perfused by Langendorff technique were submitted to 40 min of left coronary artery occlusion followed by 60 min of reperfusion (IC). A group of hearts received an acid solution (pH = 6.4) during the first 2 min of reperfusion (AR) in absence or in presence of l-NAME (NOS inhibitor). Infarct size (IS) and myocardial function were determined. In cardiac homogenates, the expression of P-Akt, P-endothelial and inducible isoforms of NOS (P-eNOS and iNOS) and the level of 3-nitrotyrosine were measured. In isolated cardiomyocytes, the intracellular NO production was assessed by confocal microscopy, under control and acidic conditions. Mitochondrial swelling after Ca2+ addition and mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψ) were also determined under control and acidosis. RESULTS AR decreased IS, improved postischemic myocardial function recovery, increased P-Akt and P-eNOS, and decreased iNOS and 3-nitrotyrosine. NO production increased while mitochondrial swelling and Δψ decreased in acidic conditions. l-NAME prevented the beneficial effects of AR. CONCLUSIONS Our data strongly supports that a brief acidic reperfusion protects the myocardium against the ischemia-reperfusion injury through eNOS/NO-dependent pathways.

Abstract
Cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass results in global myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, leading to significant postoperative morbidity and mortality. Although cardioplegia is the cornerstone of intraoperative cardioprotection, a number of additional strategies have been identified. The concept of preconditioning and postconditioning, despite its limited direct clinical application, provided an essential contribution to the understanding of myocardial injury and organ protection. Therefore, physicians can use different tools to limit perioperative myocardial injury. These include the choice of anesthetic agents, remote ischemic preconditioning, tight glycemic control, optimization of respiratory parameters during the aortic unclamping phase to limit reperfusion injury, appropriate choice of monitoring to optimize hemodynamic parameters and limit perioperative use of catecholamines, and early reintroduction of cardioprotective agents in the postoperative period. Appropriate management before, during, and after cardiopulmonary bypass will help to decrease myocardial damage. This review aimed to highlight the current advancements in cardioprotection and their potential applications during cardiac surgery.

Abstract
The effectiveness of ischemic postconditioning (iPoC) in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) without ischemic preconditioning has not been determined. Therefore, we investigated the impact of iPoC and its potential mechanism related to heat shock protein 72 (HSP72) induction on myocardial salvage in patients with STEMI without prodromal angina (PA).We retrospectively analyzed data from 102 patients with STEMI with successful reperfusion among 323 consecutive patients with acute coronary syndrome. Among these, 55 patients with iPoC (iPoC (+) ) underwent 4 cycles of 60-second inflation and 30-second deflation of the angioplasty balloon. Both the iPoC (+) and iPoC (-) groups were divided into 2 further subgroups: patients with PA (PA (+) ) and those without (PA (-) ). We analyzed HSP72 levels in neutrophils, which were measured until 48 hours after reperfusion. I-123 β-methyl-p-iodophenyl-pentadecanoic acid (BMIPP) scintigraphy was performed within a week of reperfusion therapy. In 64% of patients, thallium-201 (TL) scintigraphy was performed 6-8 months after STEMI onset.Using BMIPP and TL, in the PA (-) subgroups, the iPoC (+) group had a significantly greater myocardial salvage ratio than the iPoC (-) group. iPoC was identified as an independent predictor of the myocardial salvage ratio. The HSP72 increase ratio was significantly elevated in the iPoC (+) PA (-) group. Importantly, the myocardial salvage effect in patients without PA was significantly correlated with the HSP72 increase ratio, which was greater in patients with iPoC.These results suggest the potential impact of iPoC via HSP72 induction on myocardial salvage; however, the effects may be limited to patients with STEMI without PA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is a significant health burden in China, affecting a sizable portion of the population. Conventional pharmacological treatments frequently fall short of desirable outcomes. Therefore, exploring alternative therapies is crucial. Remote ischemic postconditioning (RIPostC) is a noninvasive and cost-effective adjunctive therapy. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of RIPostC as an adjunctive therapy for AIS to inform clinical practice. METHODS A comprehensive search was conducted across the PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), WanFang, Weipu (VIP), and China Biology Medicine disc (CBM) databases up to October 2023. All included studies underwent bias risk assessment using the Cochrane risk-of-bias assessment tool. The primary outcome measure was the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), with secondary outcomes including the Barthel index (BI), D-dimer, C-reactive protein (CRP), fibrinogen (FIB), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), modified Rankin scale (mRS), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) levels. The data were analyzed using fixed-effects and random-effects models in Review Manager, with mean differences (MDs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) calculated for each outcome. The grading of recommendations, assessment, development, and evaluations (GRADE) approach was used to evaluate the level of evidence for each outcome measure. RESULTS This meta-analysis included 38 studies, encompassing 4334 patients. Compared with the control group, the RIPostC group had significantly lower NIHSS scores, serum CRP, D-dimer, IL-6, TNF-α, and FIB levels, and increased BDNF levels. Moreover, it improved the patient's BI and mRS scores. According to the GRADE approach, the quality of evidence for mRS was deemed "moderate," while the NIHSS, BI, and CRP were rated as "low" quality. IL-6, TNF-α, FIB, D-dimer, and BDNF received "very low" quality ratings. CONCLUSION The findings suggest that RIPostC activates endogenous protective mechanisms, providing benefits to patients with AIS.

Abstract
Metabolic suppression in the ischemic heart is characterized by reduced levels of NAD+ and ATP. Since NAD+ is required for most metabolic processes that generate ATP, we hypothesized that nicotinamide restores ischemic tissue NAD+ and improves cardiac function in cardiomyocytes and isolated hearts, and enhances survival in a mouse model of cardiac arrest. Mouse cardiomyocytes were exposed to 30 min simulated ischemia and 90 min reperfusion. NAD+ content dropped 40% by the end of ischemia compared to pre-ischemia. Treatment with 100 μM nicotinamide (NAM) at the start of reperfusion completely restored the cellular level of NAD+ at 15 min of reperfusion. This rescue of NAD+ depletion was associated with improved contractile recovery as early as 10 min post-reperfusion. In a mouse model of cardiac arrest, 100 mg/kg NAM administered IV immediately after cardiopulmonary resuscitation resulted in 100% survival at 4 h as compared to 50% in the saline group. In an isolated rat heart model, the effect of NAM on cardiac function was measured for 20 min following 18 min global ischemia. Rate pressure product was reduced by 26% in the control group following arrest. Cardiac contractile function was completely recovered with NAM treatment given at the start of reperfusion. NAM restored tissue NAD+ and enhanced production of lactate and ATP, while reducing glucose diversion to sorbitol in the heart. We conclude that NAM can rapidly restore cardiac NAD+ following ischemia and enhance glycolysis and contractile recovery, with improved survival in a mouse model of cardiac arrest.

Abstract
Cardiac reperfusion injury is a well-established outcome following treatment of acute myocardial infarction and other types of ischemic heart conditions. Numerous cardioprotection protocols and therapies have been pursued with success in pre-clinical models. Unfortunately, there has been lack of successful large-scale clinical translation, perhaps in part due to the multiple pathways that reperfusion can contribute to cell death. The search continues for new cardioprotection protocols based on what has been learned from past results. One class of cardioprotection protocols that remain under active investigation is that of controlled reperfusion. This class consists of those approaches that modify, in a controlled manner, the content of the reperfusate or the mechanical properties of the reperfusate (e.g., pressure and flow). This review article first provides a basic overview of the primary pathways to cell death that have the potential to be addressed by various forms of controlled reperfusion, including no-reflow phenomenon, ion imbalances (particularly calcium overload), and oxidative stress. Descriptions of various controlled reperfusion approaches are described, along with summaries of both mechanistic and outcome-oriented studies at the pre-clinical and clinical phases. This review will constrain itself to approaches that modify endogenously-occurring blood components. These approaches include ischemic postconditioning, gentle reperfusion, controlled hypoxic reperfusion, controlled hyperoxic reperfusion, controlled acidotic reperfusion, and controlled ionic reperfusion. This review concludes with a discussion of the limitations of past approaches and how they point to potential directions of investigation for the future.

Abstract
Since the discovery of ischemic pre- and post-conditioning, more than 30 years ago, the knowledge about the mechanisms and signaling pathways involved in these processes has significantly increased. In clinical practice, on the other hand, such advancement has yet to be seen. This article provides an overview of ischemic pre-, post-, remote, and pharmacological conditioning related to the heart. In addition, we reviewed the cardioprotective signaling pathways and therapeutic agents involved in the above-mentioned processes, aiming to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the advancements in the field. The advancements made over the last decades cannot be ignored and with the exponential growth in techniques and applications. The future of pre- and post-conditioning is promising.

Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and the heart failure (HF) that often follows are among the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. As such, new treatments are needed to protect the myocardium against the damaging effects of the acute ischaemia and reperfusion injury (IRI) that occurs in AMI, in order to reduce myocardial infarct (MI) size, preserve cardiac function, and improve patient outcomes. In this regard, cardiac mitochondria play a dual role as arbiters of cell survival and death following AMI. Therefore, preventing mitochondrial dysfunction induced by acute myocardial IRI is an important therapeutic strategy for cardioprotection. In this article, we review the role of mitochondria as key determinants of acute myocardial IRI, and we highlight their roles as therapeutic targets for reducing MI size and preventing HF following AMI. In addition, we discuss the challenges in translating mitoprotective strategies into the clinical setting for improving outcomes in AMI patients.

Abstract
Significance: Regular exercise training can reduce myocardial damage caused by acute ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). Exercise can reproduce the phenomenon of ischemic preconditioning, due to the capacity of brief periods of ischemia to reduce myocardial damage caused by acute I/R. In addition, exercise may also activate the multiple kinase cascade responsible for cardioprotection even in the absence of ischemia. Recent Advances: Animal and human studies highlighted the fact that, besides to reduce risk factors related to cardiovascular disease, the beneficial effects of exercise are also due to its ability to induce conditioning of the heart. Exercise behaves as a physiological stress that triggers beneficial adaptive cellular responses, inducing a protective phenotype in the heart. The factors contributing to the exercise-induced heart preconditioning include stimulation of the anti-radical defense system and nitric oxide production, opioids, myokines, and adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP) dependent potassium channels. They appear to be also involved in the protective effect exerted by exercise against cardiotoxicity related to chemotherapy. Critical Issues and Future Directions: Although several experimental evidences on the protective effect of exercise have been obtained, the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon have not yet been fully clarified. Further studies are warranted to define precise exercise prescriptions in patients at risk of myocardial infarction or undergoing chemotherapy.

Abstract
Several studies have reported that CORM-3, a water-soluble carbon monoxide releasing molecule, elicits cardioprotection against myocardial infarction but the mechanism remains to be investigated. Numerous reports indicate that inhibition of pH regulators, the Na+/H+ exchanger (NHE) and Na+/HCO3- symporter (NBC), protect cardiomyocytes from hypoxia/reoxygenation injury by delaying the intracellular pH (pHi) recovery at reperfusion. Our goal was to explore whether CORM-3-mediated cytoprotection involves the modulation of pH regulation. When added at reoxygenation, CORM-3 (50 μM) reduced the mortality of cardiomyocytes exposed to 3 h of hypoxia and 2 h of reoxygenation in HCO3--buffered solution. This effect was lost when using inactive iCORM-3, which is depleted of CO and used as control, thus implicating CO as the mediator of this cardioprotection. Interestingly, the cardioprotective effect of CORM-3 was abolished by switching to a bicarbonate-free medium. This effect of CORM-3 was also inhibited by 5-hydroxydecanoate, a mitochondrial ATP-dependent K+ (mKATP) channel inhibitor (500 μM) or PD098059, a MEK1/2 inhibitor (10 μM). In additional experiments and in the absence of hypoxia-reoxygenation, intracellular pH was monitored in cardiomyocytes exposed to cariporide to block NHE activity. CORM-3 inhibited alkalinisation and this effect was blocked by PD098059 and 5-HD. In conclusion, CORM-3 protects the cardiomyocyte against hypoxia-reoxygenation injury by inhibiting a bicarbonate transporter at reoxygenation, probably the Na+/HCO3- symporter. This cardioprotective effect of CORM-3 requires the activation of mKATP channels and the activation of MEK1/2.

Abstract
Cardiac transplantation has become limited by a critical shortage of suitable organs from brain-dead donors. Reports describing the successful clinical transplantation of hearts donated after circulatory death (DCD) have recently emerged. Hearts from DCD donors suffer significant ischemic injury prior to organ procurement; therefore, the traditional approach to the transplantation of hearts from brain-dead donors is not applicable to the DCD context. Advances in our understanding of ischemic post-conditioning have facilitated the development of DCD heart resuscitation strategies that can be used to minimize ischemia-reperfusion injury at the time of organ procurement. The availability of a clinically approved ex situ heart perfusion device now allows DCD heart preservation in a normothermic beating state and minimizes exposure to incremental cold ischemia. This technology also facilitates assessments of organ viability to be undertaken prior to transplantation, thereby minimizing the risk of primary graft dysfunction. The application of a tailored approach to DCD heart transplantation that focuses on organ resuscitation at the time of procurement, ex situ preservation, and pre-transplant assessments of organ viability has facilitated the successful clinical application of DCD heart transplantation. The transplantation of hearts from DCD donors is now a clinical reality. Investigating ways to optimize the resuscitation, preservation, evaluation, and long-term outcomes is vital to ensure a broader application of DCD heart transplantation in the future.

Abstract
Background Contrast‐induced nephropathy (CIN) is associated with poor outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction. However, the predictors of CIN have yet to be fully elucidated. Methods and Results The study included 273 consecutive patients with a first‐time ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction who underwent reperfusion within 12 hours of symptom onset. The exclusion criteria were hemodialysis, mechanical ventilation, or previous coronary artery bypass grafting. All patients underwent arterial blood gas analysis soon after reperfusion. CIN was defined as an increase of 0.5 mg/dL in serum creatinine or a 25% increase from baseline between 48 and 72 hours after contrast medium exposure. Acidosis was defined as an arterial blood pH <7.35. CIN was observed in 35 patients (12.8%). Multivariable logistic regression analysis with forward stepwise algorithm revealed a significant association between CIN and the following: reperfusion time, the prevalence of hypertension, peak creatine kinase‐MB, high‐sensitivity C‐reactive protein on admission, and the incidence of acidosis (P<0.05). Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that the incidence of acidosis was associated with CIN when adjusted for age, male sex, body mass index, amount of contrast medium used, estimated glomerular filtration rate on admission, glucose level on admission, high‐sensitivity C‐reactive protein on admission, and left ventricular ejection fraction (P<0.05). Moreover, the incidence of acidosis was associated with CIN when adjusted for the Mehran CIN risk score (odds ratio: 2.229, P=0.049). Conclusions The incidence of acidosis soon after reperfusion was associated with CIN in patients with a first‐time ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction.

Abstract
Acidosis has complex electrophysiological effects, which are associated with a high recurrence of ventricular arrhythmias. Through multi-scale cardiac computer modeling, this study investigated the mechanisms underlying the emergence of post-acidosis arrhythmia at the tissue level. In simulations, ten Tusscher-Panfilov ventricular model was modified to incorporate various data on acidosis-induced alterations of cellular electrophysiology and intercellular electrical coupling. The single cell models were incorporated into multicellular one-dimensional (1D) fiber and 2D sheet tissue models. Electrophysiological effects were quantified as changes of action potential profile, sink-source interactions of fiber tissue, and the vulnerability of tissue to the genesis of unidirectional conduction that led to initiation of re-entry. It was shown that acidosis-induced sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) calcium load contributed to delayed afterdepolarizations (DADs) in single cells. These DADs may be synchronized to overcome the source-sink mismatch arising from intercellular electrotonic coupling, and produce a premature ventricular complex (PVC) at the tissue level. The PVC conduction can be unidirectionally blocked in the transmural ventricular wall with altered electrical heterogeneity, resulting in the genesis of re-entry. In conclusion, altered source-sink interactions and electrical heterogeneity due to acidosis-induced cellular electrophysiological alterations may increase susceptibility to post-acidosis ventricular arrhythmias.

Abstract
Pre-, post-, and remote conditioning of the myocardium are well described adaptive responses that markedly enhance the ability of the heart to withstand a prolonged ischemia/reperfusion insult and provide therapeutic paradigms for cardioprotection. Nevertheless, more than 25 years after the discovery of ischemic preconditioning, we still do not have established cardioprotective drugs on the market. Most experimental studies on cardioprotection are still undertaken in animal models, in which ischemia/reperfusion is imposed in the absence of cardiovascular risk factors. However, ischemic heart disease in humans is a complex disorder caused by, or associated with, cardiovascular risk factors and comorbidities, including hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, insulin resistance, heart failure, altered coronary circulation, and aging. These risk factors induce fundamental alterations in cellular signaling cascades that affect the development of ischemia/reperfusion injury per se and responses to cardioprotective interventions. Moreover, some of the medications used to treat these risk factors, including statins, nitrates, and antidiabetic drugs, may impact cardioprotection by modifying cellular signaling. The aim of this article is to review the recent evidence that cardiovascular risk factors and their medication may modify the response to cardioprotective interventions. We emphasize the critical need to take into account the presence of cardiovascular risk factors and concomitant medications when designing preclinical studies for the identification and validation of cardioprotective drug targets and clinical studies. This will hopefully maximize the success rate of developing rational approaches to effective cardioprotective therapies for the majority of patients with multiple risk factors.

Abstract
Most of the current focus on developing neuroprotective therapies is aimed at preventing neuronal death. However, these approaches have not been successful despite many years of clinical trials mainly because the numerous side effects observed in humans and absent in animals used at preclinical level. Recently, the research in this field aims to overcome this problem by developing strategies which induce, mimic, or boost endogenous protective responses and thus do not interfere with physiological neurotransmission. Preconditioning is a protective strategy in which a subliminal stimulus is applied before a subsequent harmful stimulus, thus inducing a state of tolerance in which the injury inflicted by the challenge is mitigated. Tolerance may be observed in ischemia, seizure, and infection. Since it requires protein synthesis, it confers delayed and temporary neuroprotection, taking hours to develop, with a pick at 1–3 days. A new promising approach for neuroprotection derives from post-conditioning, in which neuroprotection is achieved by a modified reperfusion subsequent to a prolonged ischemic episode. Many pathways have been proposed as plausible mechanisms to explain the neuroprotection offered by preconditioning and post-conditioning. Although the mechanisms through which these two endogenous protective strategies exert their effects are not yet fully understood, recent evidence highlights that the maintenance of ionic homeostasis plays a key role in propagating these neuroprotective phenomena. The present article will review the role of protein transporters and ionic channels involved in the control of ionic homeostasis in the neuroprotective effect of ischemic preconditioning and post-conditioning in adult brain, with particular regards to the Na+/Ca2+ exchangers (NCX), the plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase (PMCA), the Na+/H+ exchange (NHE), the Na+/K+/2Cl− cotransport (NKCC) and the acid-sensing cation channels (ASIC). Ischemic stroke is the third leading cause of death and disability. Up until now, all clinical trials testing potential stroke neuroprotectants failed. For this reason attention of researchers has been focusing on the identification of brain endogenous neuroprotective mechanisms activated after cerebral ischemia. In this context, ischemic preconditioning and ischemic post-conditioning represent two neuroprotecive strategies to investigate in order to identify new molecular target to reduce the ischemic damage.

Abstract
This study investigated whether pharmacological postconditioning with lactic acid and hydrogen rich saline can provide benefits similar to that of mechanical postconditioning. To our knowledge, this is the first therapeutic study to investigate the co-administration of lactic acid and hydrogen. SD rats were randomly divided into 6 groups: Sham, R/I, M-Post, Lac, Hyd, and Lac + Hyd. The left coronary artery was occluded for 45 min. Blood was withdrawn from the right atrium to measure pH. The rats were sacrificed at different time points to measure mitochondrial absorbance, infarct size, serum markers and apoptotic index. Rats in Lac + Hyd group had similar blood pH and ROS levels when compared to the M-Post group. Additionally, the infarct area was reduced to the same extent in Lac + Hyd and M-Post groups with a similar trends observed for serum markers of myocardial injury and apoptotic index. Although the level of P-ERK in Lac + Hyd group was lower, P-p38/JNK, TNFα, Caspase-8, mitochondrial absorbance and Cyt-c were all similar in Lac + Hyd and M-Post groups. The Lac and Hyd groups were able to partially mimic this protective role. These data suggested that pharmacological postconditioning with lactic acid and hydrogen rich saline nearly replicates the benefits of mechanical postconditioning.

Abstract
Lactic acidosis is a very common biological issue for shock patients. Experimental data clearly demonstrate that metabolic acidosis, including lactic acidosis, participates in the reduction of cardiac contractility and in the vascular hyporesponsiveness to vasopressors through various mechanisms. However, the contributions of each mechanism responsible for these deleterious effects have not been fully determined and their respective consequences on organ failure are still poorly defined, particularly in humans. Despite some convincing experimental data, no clinical trial has established the level at which pH becomes deleterious for hemodynamics. Consequently, the essential treatment for lactic acidosis in shock patients is to correct the cause. It is unknown, however, whether symptomatic pH correction is beneficial in shock patients. The latest Surviving Sepsis Campaign guidelines recommend against the use of buffer therapy with pH ≥7.15 and issue no recommendation for pH levels <7.15. Furthermore, based on strong experimental and clinical evidence, sodium bicarbonate infusion alone is not recommended for restoring pH. Indeed, bicarbonate induces carbon dioxide generation and hypocalcemia, both cardiovascular depressant factors. This review addresses the principal hemodynamic consequences of shock-associated lactic acidosis. Despite the lack of formal evidence, this review also highlights the various adapted supportive therapy options that could be putatively added to causal treatment in attempting to reverse the hemodynamic consequences of shock-associated lactic acidosis.

Abstract
Cardiomyocyte cell death occurring during myocardial reperfusion (reperfusion injury) contributes to final infarct size after transient coronary occlusion. Different interrelated mechanisms of reperfusion injury have been identified, including alterations in cytosolic Ca(2+) handling, sarcoplasmic reticulum-mediated Ca(2+) oscillations and hypercontracture, proteolysis secondary to calpain activation and mitochondrial permeability transition. All these mechanisms occur during the initial minutes of reperfusion and are inhibited by intracellular acidosis. The cGMP/PKG pathway modulates the rate of recovery of intracellular pH, but has also direct effect on Ca(2+) oscillations and mitochondrial permeability transition. The cGMP/PKG pathway is depressed in cardiomyocytes by ischaemia/reperfusion and preserved by ischaemic postconditioning, which importantly contributes to postconditioning protection. The present article reviews the mechanisms and consequences of the effect of ischaemic postconditioning on the cGMP/PKG pathway, the different pharmacological strategies aimed to stimulate it during myocardial reperfusion and the evidence, limitations and promise of translation of these strategies to the clinical practice. Overall, the preclinical and clinical evidence suggests that modulation of the cGMP/PKG pathway may be a therapeutic target in the context of myocardial infarction.

Abstract
Ischemic postconditioning (postC), defined as serial mechanical interruptions of blood flow at reperfusion, effectively reduces myocardial infarct size in all species tested so far, including humans. In the brain, ischemic postC leads to controversial results regardless of variations in factors such as onset time of beginning, the duration of ischemia and/or reperfusion, and the number of cycles of occlusion/reperfusion. Thus, many major issues remain to be resolved regarding its protective effects. Future studies should aim to identify the parameters that yield the strongest protection, as well as to understand why the efficacy of ischemic postC differs between models. This review will focus on initial hemodynamic changes and their consequences, and on specific features such as NO-dependent vascular tone and/or prolonged acidosis in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion in order to better understand the dynamics of ischemic postC in the developing brain.

Abstract
Mitochondria have long been known to be the gatekeepers of cell fate. This is particularly so in the response to acute ischaemia‐reperfusion injury (IRI). Following an acute episode of sustained myocardial ischaemia, the opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) in the first few minutes of reperfusion, mediates cell death. Preventing MPTP opening at the onset of reperfusion using either pharmacological inhibitors [such as cyclosporin A (CsA) ] or genetic ablation has been reported to reduce myocardial infarct (MI) size in animal models of acute IRI. Interestingly, the endogenous cardioprotective intervention of ischaemic conditioning, in which the heart is protected against MI by applying cycles of brief ischaemia and reperfusion to either the heart itself or a remote organ or tissue, appears to be mediated through the inhibition of MPTP opening at reperfusion. Small proof‐of‐concept clinical studies have demonstrated the translatability of this therapeutic approach to target MPTP opening using CsA in clinical settings of acute myocardial IRI. However, given that CsA is a not a specific MPTP inhibitor, more novel and specific inhibitors of the MPTP need to be discovered – the molecular identification of the MPTP should facilitate this. In this paper, we review the role of the MPTP as a target for cardioprotection, the potential mechanisms underlying MPTP inhibition in the setting of ischaemic conditioning, and the translatability of MPTP inhibition as a therapeutic approach in the clinical setting.

Basic Res Cardiol 2014; 110:452. [PMID: 25449894 PMCID: PMC4250560 DOI: 10.1007/s00395-014-0452-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2014] [Revised: 10/10/2014] [Accepted: 10/24/2014] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
Cardioprotection against ischaemia/reperfusion injury in mice can be achieved by delayed ischaemic postconditioning (IPost) applied as late as 30 min after the onset of reperfusion. We determined the efficacy of delayed IPost in a rat model of myocardial infarction (MI) and investigated potential underlying mechanisms of this phenomenon. Rats were subjected to 20, 30 or 45 min of coronary artery occlusion followed by 120 min of reperfusion (I/R). Immediate and early IPost included six cycles of I/R (10/10 s) applied 10 s or 10 min after reperfusion onset. In the second series of experiments, the rats were subjected to 30 min of coronary occlusion followed by IPost applied 10 s, 10, 30, 45 or 60 min after the onset of reperfusion. Immediate and early IPost (applied 10 s or 10 min of reperfusion) established cardioprotection only when applied after a period of myocardial ischaemia lasting 30 min. Delayed IPost applied after 30 or 45 min of reperfusion reduced infarct sizes by 36 and 41 %, respectively (both P < 0.01). IPost applied 60 min after reperfusion onset was ineffective. Inhibition of RISK pathway (administration of ERK1/2 inhibitor PD-98059 or PI3K inhibitor LY-294002) abolished cardioprotection established by immediate IPost but had no effect on cardioprotection conferred by early IPost. Blockade of SAFE pathway using JAK/STAT inhibitor AG490 had no effect on the immediate or early IPost cardioprotection. Blockade of mitochondrial KATP (mitoKATP) channels (with 5-Hydroxydecanoate) abolished cardioprotection achieved by immediate and early IPost, but had no effect on cardioprotection when IPost was applied 30 or 45 min into the reperfusion period. Immediate IPost increased phosphorylation of PI3K-AKT and ERK1/2. Early or delayed IPost had no effect on phosphorylation of PI3K-AKT, ERK1/2 or STAT3. These data show that in the rat model, delayed IPost confers significant cardioprotection even if applied 45 min after onset of reperfusion. Cardioprotection induced by immediate and early postconditioning involves recruitment of RISK pathway and/or mitoKATP channels, while delayed postconditioning appears to rely on a different mechanism.

Abstract
Ischemic heart disease (IHD) remains the leading cause of death and disability worldwide. For patients presenting with an acute myocardial infarction, the most effective treatment for limiting myocardial infarct (MI) size is timely reperfusion. However, in addition to the injury incurred during acute myocardial ischemia, the process of reperfusion can itself induce myocardial injury and cardiomyocyte death, termed 'myocardial reperfusion injury', the combination of which can be referred to as acute ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). Crucially, there is currently no effective therapy for preventing this form of injury, and novel cardioprotective therapies are therefore required to protect the heart against acute IRI in order to limit MI size and preserve cardiac function. The opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) in the first few minutes of reperfusion is known to be a critical determinant of IRI, contributing up to 50% of the final MI size. Importantly, preventing its opening at this time using MPTP inhibitors, such as cyclosporin-A, has been reported in experimental and clinical studies to reduce MI size and preserve cardiac function. However, more specific and novel MPTP inhibitors are required to translate MPTP inhibition as a cardioprotective strategy into clinical practice. In this article, we review the role of the MPTP as a mediator of acute myocardial IRI and as a therapeutic target for cardioprotection. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled "Mitochondria: From Basic Mitochondrial Biology to Cardiovascular Disease".

Abstract
Panax notoginseng saponins (PNS) are one of the most important compounds derived from roots of the herb Panax notoginseng which are traditionally used as a hemostatic medicine to control internal and external bleeding in China for thousands of years. To date, at least twenty saponins were identified and some of them including notoginsenoside R1, ginsenoside Rb1, and ginsenoside Rg1 were researched frequently in the area of cardiovascular protection. However, the protective effects of PNS on cardiovascular diseases based on experimental studies and its underlying mechanisms have not been reviewed systematically. This paper reviewed the pharmacology of PNS and its monomers Rb1, Rg1, and R1 in the treatment for cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
Sustained cellular function and viability of high-energy demanding post-mitotic cells rely on the continuous supply of ATP. The utilization of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation for efficient ATP generation is a function of oxygen levels. As such, oxygen deprivation, in physiological or pathological settings, has profound effects on cell metabolism and survival. Here we show that mild extracellular acidosis, a physiological consequence of anaerobic metabolism, can reprogramme the mitochondrial metabolic pathway to preserve efficient ATP production regardless of oxygen levels. Acidosis initiates a rapid and reversible homeostatic programme that restructures mitochondria, by regulating mitochondrial dynamics and cristae architecture, to reconfigure mitochondrial efficiency, maintain mitochondrial function and cell survival. Preventing mitochondrial remodelling results in mitochondrial dysfunction, fragmentation and cell death. Our findings challenge the notion that oxygen availability is a key limiting factor in oxidative metabolism and brings forth the concept that mitochondrial morphology can dictate the bioenergetic status of post-mitotic cells. In hypoxic conditions, cells depend on anaerobic respiration, which results in extracellular acidosis. Khacho et al. find that acidosis serves a protective function, enhancing mitochondrial respiratory capacity and sustaining ATP synthesis despite limited oxygen availability, by both promoting mitochondrial fusion and inhibiting fission.

Abstract
Over the last quarter of a century, a huge effort has been made to develop interventions that can minimise ischaemia reperfusion injury. The most potent of these are the ischaemic conditioning strategies, which comprise ischaemic preconditioning, remote ischaemic preconditioning and ischaemic postconditioning. While much of the focus for these interventions has been on protecting the myocardium, other organs including the kidney can be similarly protected. However, translation of these beneficial effects from animal models into routine clinical practice has been less straightforward than expected. In this review, we examine the role of ischaemic conditioning strategies in reducing tissue injury from the 'bench to the bedside' and discuss the barriers to their greater translation.

Abstract
Intracellular calcium overload is a key factor for myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury (IR). However, there was no report for interstitial calcium concentration dynamics. We investigated the interstitial calcium dynamics in rat myocardial IR model in vivo. A microdialysis system was involved, and the time delay of the system and recovery time was introduced and tested with a fluids switching method. Twelve SD rats were divided into IR or control group. Myocardial IR was induced by ligating (20 min) then releasing (60 min) the suture underlying left anterior descending branch. Mycrodialyisis probe was implanted into the left ventricular myocardium perfusion area for occlusion. Dialysate samples were collected every 10 min. Dialysate calcium concentration was detected with an atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Recovery time for the microdialysis system was 20 min, and recovery rate was 16%. Dialysate calcium concentration showed no changes during ischemia, descended immediately after reperfusion, reached the lowest level (67% of baseline value) 20 min after reperfusion, then escalated slowly. Recovery time was an important parameter for mycrodialysis technique, and it should not be neglected and needed to be tested. Our data suggest that interstitial calcium concentration in rats with myocardial IR in vivo kept steady in ischemia, descended rapidly at the initial reperfusion, then rebounded slowly. In conclusion, we introduced the concept of recovery time for microdialysis and provided a simple testing method.

Abstract
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of death and disability in Europe. For patients presenting with an acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), timely myocardial reperfusion using either thrombolytic therapy or primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) is the most effective therapy for limiting myocardial infarct (MI) size, preserving left-ventricular systolic function and reducing the onset of heart failure. Despite this, the morbidity and mortality of STEMI patients remain significant, and novel therapeutic interventions are required to improve clinical outcomes in this patient group. Paradoxically, the process of myocardial reperfusion can itself induce cardiomyocyte death-a phenomenon which has been termed 'myocardial reperfusion injury' (RI), the irreversible consequences of which include microvascular obstruction and myocardial infarction. Unfortunately, there is currently no effective therapy for preventing myocardial RI in STEMI patients making it an important residual target for cardioprotection. Previous attempts to translate cardioprotective therapies (antioxidants, calcium-channel blockers, and anti-inflammatory agents) for reducing RI into the clinic, have been unsuccessful. An improved understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying RI has resulted in the identification of several promising mechanical (ischaemic post-conditioning, remote ischaemic pre-conditioning, therapeutic hypothermia, and hyperoxaemia), and pharmacological (atrial natriuretic peptide, cyclosporin-A, and exenatide) therapeutic strategies, for preventing myocardial RI, many of which have shown promise in initial proof-of-principle clinical studies. In this article, we review the pathophysiology underlying myocardial RI, and highlight the potential therapeutic interventions which may be used in the future to prevent RI and improve clinical outcomes in patients with CHD.

Abstract
We previously demonstrated that hypoxic preconditioning (HPreC) or postconditioning (HPostC) protected ex vivo human skeletal muscle from hypoxia/reoxygenation injury. Here, we investigated if combined HPreC and HPostC could convey additive protection. Human rectus abdominis muscle strips were cultured in normoxic Krebs buffer for 5 hours (control) or in 3 hours hypoxic/2 hours normoxic buffer (treatment groups). HPreC and HPostC were induced by 1 cycle of 5 minutes hypoxia/5 minutes reoxygenation immediately before or after 3 hours hypoxia, respectively. Muscle injury, viability, and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis were assessed by measuring lactate dehydrogenase release, 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide reduction, and ATP content, respectively. Hypoxia/reoxygenation caused lactate dehydrogenase to increase and 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide reduction and ATP content to decrease (P < 0.05; n = 7). HPreC, HPostC, and combination of both were equally effective in protection of muscle from hypoxia/reoxygenation injury. Atractyloside (5 × 10 M), a mitochondrial permeability transition pore opener, abolished the protective effect of HPreC or HPostC. We conclude that HPreC and HPostC protect ex vivo human skeletal muscle against hypoxia/reoxygenation injury by closing the mitochondrial permeability transition pore. For that reason, they are equally effective and do not demonstrate an additive effect. Moreover, the potent effect of HPostC indicates ischemic postconditioning as an effective clinical intervention against reperfusion injury in autogenous skeletal muscle transplantation and replantation surgery.

Abstract
Reperfusion therapy is the indispensable treatment of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and must be applied as soon as possible to attenuate the ischemic insult. However, reperfusion is responsible for additional myocardial damage likely involving opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP). A great part of reperfusion injury occurs during the first minute of reperfusion. The prolonged opening of mPTP is considered one of the endpoints of the cascade to myocardial damage, causing loss of cardiomyocyte function and viability. Opening of mPTP and the consequent oxidative stress due to reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) are considered among the major mechanisms of mitochondrial and myocardial dysfunction. Kinases and mitochondrial components constitute an intricate network of signaling molecules and mitochondrial proteins, which interact in response to stressors. Cardioprotective pathways are activated by stimuli such as preconditioning and postconditioning (PostC), obtained with brief intermittent ischemia or with pharmacological agents, which drastically reduce the lethal ischemia/reperfusion injury. The protective pathways converging on mitochondria may preserve their function. Protection involves kinases, adenosine triphosphate-dependent potassium channels, ROS signaling, and the mPTP modulation. Some clinical studies using ischemic PostC during angioplasty support its protective effects, and an interesting alternative is pharmacological PostC. In fact, the mPTP desensitizer, cyclosporine A, has been shown to induce appreciable protections in AMI patients. Several factors and comorbidities that might interfere with cardioprotective signaling are considered. Hence, treatments adapted to the characteristics of the patient (i.e., phenotype oriented) might be feasible in the future.

Abstract
Experimental and clinical studies demonstrated that postconditioning confers protection against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury. However the underlying cellular mechanisms responsible for the beneficial effect of postconditioning are still poorly understood. The aim of the present study was to examine the role of cytosolic and mitochondrial Ca(2+)-handling. For this purpose adult rat cardiomyocytes were subjected to simulated in vitro ischemia (glucose-free hypoxia at pH6.4) followed by simulated reperfusion with a normoxic buffer (pH7.4; 2.5 mmol/L glucose). Postconditioning, i.e., 2 repetitive cycles of normoxic (5s) and hypoxic (2.5 min) superfusion, was applied during the first 5 min of reoxygenation. Mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm), cytosolic and mitochondrial Ca(2+) concentrations, cytosolic pH and necrosis were analysed applying JC-1, fura-2, fura-2/manganese, BCECF and propidium iodide, respectively. Mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) opening was detected by calcein release. Hypoxic treatment led to a reduction of ΔΨm, an increase in cytosolic and mitochondrial Ca(2+) concentration, and acidification of cardiomyocytes. During the first minutes of reoxygenation, ΔΨm transiently recovered, but irreversibly collapsed after 7 min of reoxygenation, which was accompanied by MPTP opening. Simultaneously, mitochondrial Ca(2+) increased during reperfusion and cardiomyocytes developed spontaneous cytosolic Ca(2+) oscillations and severe contracture followed by necrosis after 25 min of reoxygenation. In postconditioned cells, the collapse in ΔΨm as well as the leak of calcein, the increase in mitochondrial Ca(2+), cytosolic Ca(2+) oscillations, contracture and necrosis were significantly reduced. Furthermore postconditioning delayed cardiomyocyte pH recovery. Postconditioning by hypoxia/reoxygenation was as protective as treatment with cyclosporine A. Combining cyclosporine A and postconditioning had no additive effect. The data of the present study demonstrate that postconditioning by hypoxia/reoxygenation prevents reperfusion injury by limiting mitochondrial Ca(2+) load and thus opening of the MPTP in isolated cardiomyocytes. These effects seem to be supported by postconditioning-induced delay in pH recovery and suppression of Ca(2+) oscillations.

[PMID: 23333069 DOI: 10.1016/j.jss.2012.12.029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2012] [Revised: 11/07/2012] [Accepted: 12/12/2012] [Indexed: 01/19/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Acidic perfusion (AP) performed at the onset of reperfusion (i.e., acid postconditioning) is cardioprotective. We investigated the effect of AP on postischemic cardiac function and on the activity of endogenous superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase. The role of exogenous CAT or SOD on AP cardioprotection was also investigated. Phosphorylation of redox-sensitive survival kinases (protein kinase C [PKC] ε and extracellular signal-regulated kinase [ERK] 1/2) was also checked. MATERIALS AND METHODS Isolated rat hearts underwent ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) for 30 and 120 min, respectively. AP was obtained by lowering [HCO3(-)] in the perfusion buffer. Infarct size and left ventricular pressure were measured. Protocols include I/R only, I/R plus acidic perfusion in early reperfusion (I/R + AP), and I/R plus AP and CAT (I/R + AP + CAT) or SOD (I/R + AP + SOD). I/R + SOD and I/R + CAT additional hearts served as controls. AP and/or antioxidants were given in the initial 3 min of reperfusion. Enzyme activities were studied in postischemic phase (seventh minute of reperfusion) in I/R or I/R + AP and Sham (buffer-perfused) hearts. RESULTS AP with (I/R + AP + CAT or I/R + AP + SOD) or without (I/R + AP) antioxidant enzymes resulted in a larger reduction of infarct size compared with I/R, I/R + SOD, or I/R + CAT. Compared with I/R, the postischemic systolic and diastolic recoveries of the cardiac function were markedly improved by the addition of AP and a lesser extent by AP + SOD or AP + CAT. AP increased the postischemic activity of CAT and lowered that of SOD and glutathione peroxidase compared with I/R only. Also, the phosphorylation and activity of ERK1/2 and PKCε were increased by AP. CONCLUSIONS Acid postconditioning affects the activity of endogenous antioxidant enzymes, activates ERK1/2-PKCε pathways, and protects against myocardial I/R injury. The combination of AP and exogenous SOD or CAT still provides cardioprotection. It is likely that intracellular (not extracellular) redox condition plays a pivotal role in acidic protection.

Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction (MI) is a major cause of death and disability worldwide. In patients with MI, the treatment of choice for reducing acute myocardial ischemic injury and limiting MI size is timely and effective myocardial reperfusion using either thombolytic therapy or primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). However, the process of reperfusion can itself induce cardiomyocyte death, known as myocardial reperfusion injury, for which there is still no effective therapy. A number of new therapeutic strategies currently under investigation for preventing myocardial reperfusion injury have the potential to improve clinical outcomes in patients with acute MI treated with PPCI.

Abstract
In reconstructive surgery, skeletal muscle may endure protracted ischemia before reperfusion, which can lead to significant ischemia/reperfusion injury. Ischemic postconditioning induced by brief cycles of reperfusion/reocclusion at the end of ischemia has been shown to salvage skeletal muscle from ischemia/reperfusion injury in several animal models. However, ischemic postconditioning has not been confirmed in human skeletal muscle. Using an established in vitro human skeletal muscle hypoxic conditioning model, we tested our hypothesis that hypoxic postconditioning salvages ex vivo human skeletal muscle from hypoxia/reoxygenation injury and the mechanism involves inhibition of opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) and preservation of ATP synthesis. Muscle strips (~0.5×0.5×15mm) from human rectus abdominis muscle biopsies were cultured in Krebs-Henseleit-HEPES buffer, bubbled with 95%N(2)/5%CO(2) (hypoxia) or 95%O(2)/5%CO(2) (reoxygenation). Samples were subjected to 3h hypoxia/2h reoxygenation. Hypoxic postconditioning was induced by one or two cycles of 5min reoxygenation/5min hypoxia after 3h hypoxia. Muscle injury, viability and ATP synthesis after 2h of reoxygenation were assessed by measuring lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release, 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) reduction and ATP content, respectively. Hypoxic postconditioning or treatment with the mPTP-opening inhibitors Cyclosporine A (CsA, 5×10(-6)M) or N-Methyl-4-isoleucine Cyclosporine (NIM811, 5×10(-6)M) 10min before reoxygenation decreased LDH release, increased MTT reduction and increased muscle ATP content (n=7 patients; P<0.05). Conversely, treatment with the mPTP opener Atractyloside (5×10(-6)M) 10min before hypoxic postconditioning abolished its protective effect (n=7 patients; P<0.05). We conclude that hypoxic postconditioning effectively salvages human skeletal muscle from hypoxia/reoxygenation injury by inhibition of mPTP opening and preservation of ATP synthesis during reoxygenation.

Abstract
We review the pivotal role of the stromal derived factor (SDF)-1 chemokine in tissue ischaemia and how it orchestrates the rapid revascularization of injured, ischaemic, and regenerating tissues via the CXC chemokine receptors CXCR4 and CXCR7. Furthermore, we discuss the effects of preconditioning (PC), which is a well-known protective phenomenon for tissue ischaemia. The positive effect of both hypoxic and acidic PC on progenitor cell therapeutic potential is reviewed, while stressing the role of the SDF-1/CXCR4 axis in this process.

Abstract
Persistent myocardial ischaemia causes cell death if not rescued by early reperfusion. Millions of years in nature's laboratory have evolved protective responses that 'condition' the heart (and other tissues) to adapt to stressors, and these responses are applicable to the relatively new societal stress of myocardial ischaemia and reperfusion injury. Conditioning can be applied before (preconditioning), during (perconditioning), or after (postconditioning) the ischaemic stressor by imposing short periods of non-lethal ischaemia separated by brief periods of reperfusion. This conditioning protects multiple cell types and induces or rebalances a number of physiological and molecular pathways that ultimately attenuate necrosis and apoptosis. The seemingly disparate pathways may converge directly or indirectly on the mitochondria as a final effector, but other pathways not affecting mitochondria broaden the mechanisms of cardioprotection. The potential downsides of imposing even brief ischaemia directly on the heart somewhat tempered the enthusiasm for applying conditioning stimuli to the heart, but this hurdle was surmounted by applying ischaemia to remote organs and tissues in pre-, per-, and postconditioning. Although the clinical translation of remote per- and postconditioning has been rapid compared with classical preconditioning, there are numerous basic questions that require further investigation, and wider adoption awaits large-scale randomized clinical trials. Pharmacological mimetics may provide another important therapeutic approach by which to treat evolving myocardial infarction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reperfusion during acute myocardial infarction remains the best treatment for reducing infarct size. Postconditioning, applied at the onset of reperfusion, reduces myocardial infarction both in animals and humans. The objective of this study was to identify the time delay to apply postconditioning at reperfusion, allowing preservation of cardioprotection in the mouse myocardium. This is a major issue in the management of acute myocardial infarction patients. METHODS AND RESULTS Mice were subjected to 40 minutes of ischemia and 60 minutes of reperfusion (IR(60')). Postconditioning protocols corresponding to repetitive ischemia (3 cycles of 1 minute of ischemia and 1 minute of reperfusion) were applied during early reperfusion at various time durations (Δt) after reopening of the coronary artery (Δt=10 seconds, 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, and 45 minutes; PostC(Δt)). Infarct size/area at risk was reduced by 71% in PostC(Δ1) compared with IR(60') mice (P=5×10(-6)). There was a linear correlation (r(2)=0.91) between infarct size and Δt, indicating that the cardioprotective effect of delayed postconditioning was progressively attenuated when Δt time increased. The protective effect of PostC(Δ1) and PostC(Δ15) was still effective when the duration of reperfusion was prolonged to 24 hours (IR(24 hours); PostC(Δ1) and PostC(Δ15) versus IR(24 hours), P=0.001). Similar results were obtained for internucleosomal DNA fragmentation and lactate dehydrogenase release. CONCLUSIONS This study in our in vivo mouse model of myocardial IR shows for the first time that delaying the intervention of postconditioning to 30 minutes does not abrogate the cardioprotective effect of postconditioning. This finding provides evidence that the time window of protection afforded by postconditioning may be larger than initially reported.

Abstract
Aims The chemokine receptor CXCR4 modulates endothelial progenitor cell migration, homing, and differentiation, and plays a key role in cardiovascular regeneration. Here we examined the effect of ex vivo acidic preconditioning (AP) on CXCR4 expression and on the regenerative potential of mouse bone marrow (BM) ckit+ cells. Methods and results Acidic preconditioning was achieved by exposing BM ckit+ cells to hypercarbic acidosis (pH 7.0) for 24 h; control cells were kept at pH 7.4. Acidic preconditioning enhanced CXCR4 and stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1) mRNA levels, as well as CXCR4 phosphorylation. Acidic preconditioning ability to modulate CXCR4 expression depended on cytosolic calcium [Ca2+]i mobilization and on nitric oxide (NO), as determined by [Ca2+]i buffering with BAPTA, and by treatment with the NO donor (DETA/NO) and the NO synthase inhibitor (L-NAME). Further, AP increased SDF-1-driven chemotaxis, transendothelial migration, and differentiation toward the endothelial lineage in vitro. In a mouse model of hindlimb ischaemia, control and AP ckit+ cells were transplanted into the ischaemic muscle; AP cells accelerated blood flow recovery, increased capillary, and arteriole number as well as the number of regenerating muscle fibres vs. control. These effects were abolished by treating AP cells with L-NAME. Conclusion Acidic preconditioning represents a novel strategy to enhance BM ckit+ cell therapeutic potential via NO-dependent increase in CXCR4 expression.

Abstract
Reperfusion therapy must be applied as soon as possible to attenuate the ischemic insult of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However reperfusion is responsible for additional myocardial damage, which likely involves opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP). In reperfusion injury, mitochondrial damage is a determining factor in causing loss of cardiomyocyte function and viability. Major mechanisms of mitochondrial dysfunction include the long lasting opening of mPTPs and the oxidative stress resulting from formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Several signaling cardioprotective pathways are activated by stimuli such as preconditioning and postconditioning, obtained with brief intermittent ischemia or with pharmacological agents. These pathways converge on a common target, the mitochondria, to preserve their function after ischemia/reperfusion. The present review discusses the role of mitochondria in cardioprotection, especially the involvement of adenosine triphosphate-dependent potassium channels, ROS signaling, and the mPTP. Ischemic postconditioning has emerged as a new way to target the mitochondria, and to drastically reduce lethal reperfusion injury. Several clinical studies using ischemic postconditioning during angioplasty now support its protective effects, and an interesting alternative is pharmacological postconditioning. In fact ischemic postconditioning and the mPTP desensitizer, cyclosporine A, have been shown to induce comparable protection in AMI patients.

Abstract
Postconditioning (PostC) modifies the early post-ischemic pH, redox environment, and activity of enzymes. We hypothesized that early acidosis in PostC may affect superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities, may reduce 3-nitrotyrosine (3-NT) protein levels, and may increase S-nitrosylated (SNO) protein levels, thus deploying its protective effects. To verify this hypothesis, we studied the early (7(th) min) and late (120(th) min) phases of reperfusion (a) endogenous SOD and CAT activities and (b) 3-NT protein levels and SNO protein levels. Isolated rat hearts underwent 30-min ischemia/120-min reperfusion (I/R) or PostC (5 cycles of 10-s I/R at the beginning of 120-min reperfusion) either with or without exogenous CAT or SOD infused during the initial 3 min of reperfusion. The effects of early reperfusion with acid buffer (AB, pH 6.8) on endogenous antioxidant enzymes were also tested. Pressure, infarct size, and lactate dehydrogenase release were also measured. At the 7(th) min, PostC induced a significant decrease in SOD activity with no major change both in Mn and Cu/Zn SOD levels and in CAT activity and level. PostC also reduced 3-NT and increased SNO levels. Exogenous SOD, but not CAT, abolished PostC cardioprotection. In late reperfusion (120-min), I/R increased SOD activity but decreased CAT activity and Cu/Zn SOD levels; these effects were reversed by PostC; 3-NT was not affected, but SNO was increased by PostC. AB reproduced PostC effects on antioxidant enzymes. The conclusions are as follows: PostC downregulates endogenous SOD and preserves CAT activity, thus increasing SNO and reducing 3-NT levels. These effects are triggered by early post-ischemic acidosis. Yet acidosis-induced SOD downregulation may limit denitrosylation, thus contributing to PostC triggering. Hence, exogenous SOD, but not CAT, interferes with PostC triggering. Prolonged SOD downregulation and SNO increase may contribute to PostC and AB beneficial effects.
