Abstract
Sulfonylureas are the most commonly used second-line drug class for treating type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). While the cardiovascular safety of sulfonylureas has been examined in several trials and nonrandomized studies, little is known of their specific effects on sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) and related serious arrhythmic outcomes. This knowledge gap is striking, because persons with DM are at increased risk of SCA. In this review, we explore the influence of sulfonylureas on the risk of serious arrhythmias, with specific foci on ischemic preconditioning, cardiac excitability, and serious hypoglycemia as putative mechanisms. Elucidating the relationship between individual sulfonylureas and serious arrhythmias is critical, especially as the diabetes epidemic intensifies and SCA incidence increases in persons with diabetes.

Abstract
Preconditioning (PC) of the heart by sublethal ischemia, mild heat shock, or hypoxia has evolved as a powerful experimental tool to discover novel signaling mechanisms in cardioprotection. The ultimate goal is to determine novel therapeutic targets for potential application in humans to protect the heart against ischemia-related injuries. In recent years, there has been a tremendous interest in understanding the role of small noncoding RNAs, microRNAs (miRs), in cardiovascular diseases. miRs have been recognized as regulators of gene expression by destabilization and translational inhibition of target messenger RNAs. Studies have shown that several miRs, including miR-1, miR-133, miR-21, miR-126, miR-320, miR-92a, and miR-199a, are regulated after preconditioning and play an active role in protecting the heart against ischemia/reperfusion injury. These miRs also drive the synthesis of important cardioprotective proteins including heat shock protein (HSP)-70, endothelial nitric oxide synthase, inducible nitric oxide synthase, HSP-20, Sirt1, and hypoxia-inducible factor 1a. We believe that identification and targeted delivery of miR(s) in the heart could have an immense therapeutic potential in reducing myocardial infarction in patients suffering from heart disease.

Abstract
Emerging evidence indicates that exercise training can provide significant protection against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. In this brief review, we provide a synthesis of current literature in the field and summarize the findings to date. Our intent is to identify the unique elements of cardioprotection acquired by exercise, and to illustrate what distinguishes this physiological acquisition of cardioprotection from all other known types of acquired cardioprotection. Finally, we point to future directions for research in this exciting area.

Abstract
Sildenafil induces powerful cardioprotection against ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Since adenosine is known to be a major trigger of ischemic preconditioning, we hypothesized that A(1) adenosine receptor (A(1)AR) activation plays a role in sildenafil-induced cardioprotective signaling. Adult male C57BL wild-type (WT) mice or their corresponding A(1)AR knockout (A(1)AR-KO) mice were treated intraperitoneally (i.p.) with either sildenafil (0.71 mg/kg, equivalent to 50 mg dose for a 70 kg patient) or volume-matched saline. The selective A(1)AR antagonist 8-cyclopentyl-1,3-dipropyxanthine (DPCPX; 0.1 mg/kg, i.p.) was administered 30 min before sildenafil. The hearts were isolated 24 h later and subjected to 30 min of global ischemia and 1 h of reperfusion in Langendorff mode. Post-ischemic myocardial infarct size (mean+/-SEM; % of risk area) was reduced in C57BL-WT mice treated with sildenafil (5.6+/-0.9) versus saline control group (27.3+/-2.1; p<0.05; n=6/each). However, sildenafil failed to protect the A(1)AR-KO hearts (31.6+/-1.9 vs. 32.3+/-1.5 with saline, p>0.05). Additionally, DPCPX treatment abolished the infarct limiting effect of sildenafil (27.3+/-3.2, p<0.05). DPCPX alone had no effect on infarct size as compared with the control group. No significant changes in post-ischemic recovery of left ventricular pressure and heart rate were observed in the sildenafil-treated group. We further examined the effect of sildenafil in protection against simulated ischemia and reoxygenation injury in adult cardiomyocytes derived from WT and A(1)AR-KO mice. WT myocytes treated with sildenafil (1 microM) demonstrated significantly lower trypan blue-positive necrotic cells. However, cardiomyocytes derived from A(1)AR-KO mice or DPCPX-treated WT cells failed to show protection against necrosis with sildenafil. These results suggest that A(1)AR activation following treatment with sildenafil plays an integral role in the signaling cascade responsible for delayed protection against global I/R injury.

Abstract
Reduction of the perioperative cardiovascular risk with pharmacological interventions plays a prominent role in routine anesthesia practice. For example, perioperative beta-blockade is well established in anesthesiological treatment of patients. There is a growing body of evidence supporting the cardioprotective effects of volatile anesthetics known as anesthetic-induced preconditioning. There are numerous and complex data from animal studies. The mechanisms of anesthetic-induced preconditioning have been extensively studied but have still not been clearly identified. Initial clinical data show the cardioprotective effects of volatile agents by looking at parameters of myocardial function and laboratory values and therefore, the question of the relevance of these data for routine clinical practice has been raised. This review gives a summary of the currently available data focusing on the mechanisms of anesthesiological preconditioning and clinical studies.

Abstract
This study was conducted to examine the role of myocardial ATP-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channels in exercise-induced protection from ischaemia-reperfusion (I-R) injury. Female rats were either sedentary (Sed) or exercised for 12 weeks (Tr). Hearts were excised and underwent a 1-2 h regional I-R protocol. Prior to ischaemia, hearts were subjected to pharmacological blockade of the sarcolemmal K(ATP) channel with HMR 1098 (SedHMR and TrHMR), mitochondrial blockade with 5-hydroxydecanoic acid (5HD; Sed5HD and Tr5HD), or perfused with buffer containing no drug (Sed and Tr). Infarct size was significantly smaller in hearts from Tr animals (35.4 +/- 2.3 versus 44.7 +/- 3.0% of the zone at risk for Tr and Sed, respectively). Mitochondrial K(ATP) blockade did not abolish the training-induced infarct size reduction (30.0 +/- 3.4 versus 38.0 +/- 2.6 in Tr5HD and Sed5HD, respectively); however, sarcolemmal K(ATP) blockade completely eradicated the training-induced cardioprotection. Infarct size was 71.2 +/- 3.3 and 64.0 +/- 2.4% of the zone at risk for TrHMR and Sed HMR. The role of sarcolemmal K(ATP) channels in Tr-induced protection was also supported by significant increases in both subunits of the sarcolemmal K(ATP) channel following training. LV developed pressure was better preserved in hearts from Tr animals, and was not influenced by addition of HMR 1098. 5HD decreased pressure development regardless of training status, from 15 min of ischaemia through the duration of the protocol. This mechanical dysfunction was likely to be due to a 5HD-induced increase in myocardial Ca2+ content following I-R. The major findings of the present study are: (1) unlike all other known forms of delayed cardioprotection, infarct sparing following chronic exercise was not abolished by 5HD; (2) pharmacological blockade of the sarcolemmal K(ATP) channel nullified the cardioprotective benefits of exercise training; and (3) increased expression of sarcolemmal K(ATP) channels was observed following chronic training.

Abstract
Fluid percussion brain injury (FPI) impairs pial artery dilation to activators of the ATP-sensitive (KATP) and calcium-activated (KCa) K+channels. This study investigated the role of heat shock protein (HSP) in the modulation of K+channel-induced pial artery dilation after FPI in newborn pigs equipped with a closed cranial window. Under nonbrain injury conditions, topical coadministration of exogenous HSP-27 (1 μg/ml) blunted dilation to cromakalim, CGRP, and NS-1619 (10−8and 10−6M; cromakalim and CGRP are KATPagonists and NS-1619 is a KCaagonist). In contrast, coadministration of exogenous HSP-70 (1 μg/ml) potentiated dilation to cromakalim, CGRP, and NS-1619. FPI increased the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentration of HSP-27 from 0.051 ± 0.012 to 0.113 ± 0.035 ng/ml but decreased the CSF concentration of HSP-70 from 50.42 ± 8.96 to 30.9 ± 9.9 ng/ml at 1 h postinsult. Pretreatment with topical exogenous HSP-70 (1 μg/ml) before FPI fully blocked injury-induced impairment of cromakalim and CGRP dilation and partially blocked injury-induced impairment of dilation to NS-1619. These data indicate that HSP-27 and HSP-70 contribute to modulation of K+channel-induced pial artery dilation. These data suggest that HSP-70 is an endogenous protectant of which its actions may be unmasked and/or potentiated with exogenous administration before brain injury.

Abstract
The phosphodiesterase type-5 (PDE5) inhibitor, sildenafil, is the first drug developed for treatment of erectile dysfunction in patients. Experimental data in animals show that sildenafil has a preconditioning-like cardioprotective effect against ischemia/reperfusion injury in the intact heart. Mechanistic studies suggest that sildenafil exerts cardioprotection through NO generated from eNOS/iNOS, activation of protein kinase C/ERK signaling and opening of mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium channels. Additional studies show that the drug attenuates cell death resulting from necrosis and apoptosis, and increases the Bcl2/Bax ratio through NO signaling in adult cardiomyocytes. Emerging new data also suggest that sildenafil may be used clinically for treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension and endothelial dysfunction. Future demonstration of the cardioprotective effect in patients with the relatively safe and effective FDA-approved PDE5 inhibitors such as sildenafil could have an enormous impact on bringing the long-studied phenomenon of ischemic and pharmacologic preconditioning to the clinical forefront.

Abstract
Local and remote ischemic preconditioning (IPC) reduce ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury and preserve cardiac function. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that remote preconditioning is memorized by the explanted heart and yields protection from subsequent I/R injury and that the underlying mechanism involves sarcolemmal and mitochondrial ATP-sensitive K(+) (K(ATP)) channels. Male Wistar rats (300-350 g) were randomized to a control (n = 10), a remote IPC (n = 10), and a local IPC group (n = 10). Remote IPC was induced by four cycles of 5 min of limb ischemia, followed by 5 min of reperfusion. Local IPC was induced by four cycles of 2 min of regional myocardial ischemia, followed by 3 min of reperfusion. The heart was excised within 5 min after the final cycle of preconditioning, mounted in a perfused Langendorff preparation for 40 min of stabilization, and subjected to 45 min of sustained ischemia by occluding the left coronary artery and 120 min of reperfusion. I/R injury was assessed as infarct size by triphenyltetrazolium staining. The influence of sarcolemmal and mitochondrial K(ATP) channels on remote preconditioning was assessed by the addition of glibenclamide (10 microM, a nonselective K(ATP) blocker), 5-hydroxydecanoic acid (5-HD; 100 microM, a mitochondrial K(ATP) blocker), and HMR-1098 (30 microM, a sarcolemmal K(ATP) blocker) to the Langendorff preparation before I/R. The role of mitochondrial K(ATP) channels as an effector mechanism for memorizing remote preconditioning was further studied by the effect of the specific mitochondrial K(ATP) activator diaxozide (10 mg/kg) on myocardial infarct size. Remote preconditioning reduced I/R injury in the explanted heart (0.17 +/- 0.03 vs. 0.39 +/- 0.05, P < 0.05) and improved left ventricular function during reperfusion compared with control (P < 0.05). Similar effects were obtained with diazoxide. Remote preconditioning was abolished by the addition of 5-HD and glibenclamide but not by HMR-1098. In conclusion, the protective effect of remote preconditioning is memorized in the explanted heart by a mechanism that involves mitochondrial K(ATP) channels.

Abstract
We investigated the role of protein kinase C in adenosine A3 receptor (A3AR)-induced delayed cardioprotection in the mouse heart. Mice were treated with selective A3AR agonist N6-(3-iodobenzyl)adenosine-5'-N-methyluronamide (IB-MECA). Twenty-four hours later, hearts were perfused in the Langendorff mode and subjected to 30 min of global ischemia and 30 min of reperfusion. Infarct size was determined by computer morphometry of tetrazolium-stained sections, and ventricular function was monitored by inserting a fluid-filled balloon into the left ventricle (LV). Chelerythrine chloride (CHE, 5.0 mg/kg) and rottlerin (Rot, 0.3 mg/kg) were given 30 min before IB-MECA to block total and PKC-delta isoforms, respectively. IB-MECA caused postischemic reduction in necrosis and improvement in ventricular function, which was abolished by CHE. Western blot analysis demonstrated translocation of the PKC-delta isoform but not the alpha, epsilon, xi, eta isoform(s) from cytoplasm to the membrane fraction after 30 min of IB-MECA administration. A3AR antagonist MRS-1191 and CHE blocked the translocation of PKC-delta. Furthermore, IB-MECA-induced increase in nuclear factor-kappaB binding was diminished by CHE. These results provide direct evidence of an essential role of PKC, and more specifically, PKC-delta in A3AR-induced delayed cardioprotection.

Abstract
In this study we examined the hypotheses that over-expression of the adenosine A(1) receptor (A(1)AR) in transgenic mouse cardiac myocytes (A(1)AR-tgm) induces cellular protection against subsequent sustained simulated ischemia (SI); that the cellular protection induced by over-expression of A(1)AR in A(1)AR-tgm is mediated through inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and K(ATP) channels. Sub-lethal simulated ischemia (SSI) and the A(1)AR agonists chloro- N(6)-cyclopentyl adenosine (CCPA) or (2 S)- N(6)-[2-endo-norbornyl]adenosine (S-ENBA) induce further, delayed cytoprotection, additional to the existing protection in A(1)AR-tgm. Cellular injury and cell viability was measured by the release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) or creatine kinase (CK) into the medium and the amount remaining in the cells. The cellular resistance acquired by cardiac myocytes due to the over-expression of A(1)AR was reflected by the reduced release of LDH (in units/liter) from 44.94+/-1.46 (wild-type mouse cardiac myocytes, wt) to 29.59+/-2.83 (A(1)AR-tgm, P<0.001). Conversely, LDH release from A(1)AR-tgm increased to 42.53+/-2.23 ( P<0.01) on exposure to 5-hydroxydecanoate (a mitochondrial K(ATP) channel blocker), to 45.93+/-2.90 ( P<0.01) on exposure to S-methylthiourea (an iNOS inhibitor) and to 56.04+/-3.00 ( P<0.01) on exposure to glibenclamide (a K(ATP) channel blocker). Treatment of A(1)AR-tgm is with SSI and the A(1)AR agonists chloro- N(6)-cyclopentyl adenosine (CCPA) or (2 S)- N(6)-[2-endo-norbornyl]adenosine (S-ENBA) decreased the release of LDH from 46.44+/-0.57 (A(1)AR-tgm) to 42.08+/-0.48 (A(1)AR-tgm plus SSI, P<0.05), 38.03+/-1.16 (A(1)AR-tgm plus CCPA, P<0.001) and 32.77+/-0.58 (A(1)AR-tgm plus S-ENBA, P<0.001). Our data suggest that the A(1)AR has a cytoprotective effect against subsequent sustained SI in A(1)AR-tgm and that the cellular protection induced by over-expression of A(1)AR in A(1)AR-tgm depends on iNOS and K(ATP) channels. Further, SSI and the A(1)AR agonists CCPA or S-ENBA induce further, delayed cytoprotection in A(1)AR-tgm.

Abstract
Sildenafil citrate (Viagra) is the pharmacological agent used to treat erectile dysfunction in men. Because this drug has a vasodilatory effect, we hypothesized that such an action may induce a preconditioning-like cardioprotective effect via opening of mitochondrial ATP-sensitive K (K(ATP)) channels. Rabbits were treated with sildenafil citrate (0.7 mg/kg iv) either 30 min (acute phase) or 24 h (delayed phase) before 30 min of ischemia and 3 h of reperfusion. Mitochondrial K(ATP) channel blocker 5-hydroxydecanoate (5-HD, 5 mg/kg iv) was given 10 min before ischemia-reperfusion. Infarct size was measured by tetrazolium staining. Sildenafil caused reduction in arterial blood pressure within 2 min of treatment, which returned to nearly baseline levels 3 min later. The infarct size (% risk area, means +/- SE) reduced from 33.8 +/- 1.7 in control rabbits to 10.8 +/- 0.9 during the acute phase (68% reduction, P < 0.05) and 19.9 +/- 2.0 during the delayed phase (41% reduction, P < 0.05). 5-HD abolished protection with an increase in infarct size to 35.6 +/- 0.4% and 36.8 +/- 1.6% during the acute and delayed phase, respectively (P < 0.05). Similar acute and delayed cardioprotective effects were observed when sildenafil was administered orally. Systemic hemodynamics also decreased after oral administration of the drug. However, these changes were mild and occurred slowly. For the first time, we demonstrate that sildenafil induces acute and delayed protective effects against ischemia-reperfusion injury, which are mediated by opening of mitochondrial K(ATP) channels.

Abstract
We investigated the influence of coronary artery reperfusion (CAR) duration on the infarct-limiting properties of adenosine A(1)-receptor stimulation-induced delayed preconditioning (A(1)-DPC) compared with ischemia-induced delayed preconditioning (I-DPC). Sixty-one chronically instrumented conscious rabbits successfully underwent the following protocol. On day 1, rabbits were randomly divided into four groups: control (saline, iv), I-DPC (six 4-min coronary artery occlusion/4-min reperfusion cycles), A(1)-DPC(100) (N(6)-cyclopentyladenosine, 100 microg/kg iv), and A(1)-DPC(400) (N(6)-cyclopentyladenosine, 400 microg/kg iv). On day 2 (i.e., 24 h later), rabbits underwent a 30-min coronary artery occlusion after which CAR was started and maintained for either 3 or 72 h. Infarct size (percentage of the area at risk) was determined by triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining. After 3 h of CAR, I-DPC, A(1)-DPC(100), and A(1)-DPC(400) significantly decreased infarct size (36 +/- 5, 41 +/- 4, 38 +/- 5%, respectively) compared with control (55 +/- 3%). After 72 h of CAR, infarct sizes were not significantly different among the four groups. This result was confirmed by histologic analysis. Thus A(1)-DPC at the two investigated doses, as well as I-DPC, decreased infarct size after 3 h but not 72 h of CAR.

Abstract
Isoflurane mimics the cardioprotective effect of acute ischemic preconditioning with an acute memory phase. We determined whether isoflurane can induce delayed cardioprotection, the involvement of ATP-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channels, and cellular location of the channels. Neonatal New Zealand White rabbits at 7-10 days of age (n = 5-16/group) were exposed to 1% isoflurane-100% oxygen for 2 h. Hearts exposed 2 h to 100% oxygen served as untreated controls. Twenty-four hours later resistance to myocardial ischemia was determined using an isolated perfused heart model. Isoflurane significantly reduced infarct size/area at risk (means +/- SD) by 50% (10 +/- 5%) versus untreated controls (20 +/- 6%). Isoflurane increased recovery of preischemic left ventricular developed pressure by 28% (69 +/- 4%) versus untreated controls (54 +/- 6%). The mitochondrial K(ATP) channel blocker 5-hydroxydecanoate (5-HD) completely (55 +/- 3%) and the sarcolemmal K(ATP) channel blocker HMR 1098 partially (62 +/- 3%) attenuated the cardioprotective effects of isoflurane. The combination of 5-HD and HMR-1098 completely abolished the cardioprotective effect of isoflurane (56 +/- 5%). We conclude that both mitochondrial and sarcolemmal K(ATP) channels contribute to isoflurane-induced delayed cardioprotection.

Abstract
1. The goal of this study was to investigate the effects of the delayed pharmacological preconditioning produced by an adenosine A(1)-receptor agonist (A(1)-DPC) against ventricular arrhythmias induced by ischaemia and reperfusion, compared to those of ischaemia-induced delayed preconditioning (I-DPC). 2. Eighty-nine instrumented conscious rabbits underwent a 2 consecutive days protocol. On day 1, rabbits were randomly divided into four groups: 'Control' (saline, i.v.), 'I-DPC' (six 4-min coronary artery occlusion/4-min reperfusion cycles), 'A(1)-DPC(100)' (N(6)-cyclopentyladenosine, 100 microg kg(-1), i.v.), and 'A(1)-DPC(400)' (N(6)-cyclopentyladenosine, 400 microg kg(-1), i.v.). On day 2, i.e., 24 h later, the incidence and severity of ventricular arrhythmias during a 30-min coronary artery occlusion and subsequent reperfusion were analysed in all animals, using an arrhythmia score. 3. I-DPC, A(1)-DPC(100) and A(1)-DPC(400) significantly reduced the infarct size (34+/-5, 42+/-3 and 43+/-7% of the area at risk, respectively) as compared to Control (55+/-3% of the area at risk). 4. During both ischaemia and reperfusion, neither the incidence nor the severity of ventricular arrhythmias were altered by A(1)-DPC(100), A(1)-DPC(400) or I-DPC as compared to Control. 5. Thus, despite reduction of infarct size induced by delayed preconditioning, A(1)-DPC as well as I-DPC failed to exert any anti-arrhythmic effect in the conscious rabbit model of ischaemia-reperfusion.

Abstract
We investigated the cardioprotective effect of 3-nitropropionic acid (3-NPA), an inhibitior of mitochondrial succinate dehydrogenase, and we wanted to show whether this protection is mediated by of opening mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channels. Adult rabbits were treated with either 3-NPA (3 mg/kg iv) or saline (n = 6 rabbits/group). After 30 min (for early phase) or 24 h (for late phase) of the treatment, the animals were subjected to 30 min of ischemia and 3 h of reperfusion (ischemia-reperfusion). 5-Hydroxydecanoate (5-HD, 5 mg/kg iv),the mitochondrial K(ATP) channel blocker, was administered 10 min before ischemia-reperfusion in the saline- and 3-NPA-treated rabbits. 3-NPA caused a decrease in the infarct size from 27.8 +/- 4.2% in the saline group to 16.5 +/- 1.0% in the 3-NPA-treated rabbits during early phase and from 30.4 +/- 4.2% in the saline group to 17.6 +/- 1.05 in the 3-NPA group during delayed phase (P < 0.05, % of risk area). The anti-infarct effect of 3-NPA was blocked by 5-HD as shown by an increase in infarct size to 33 +/- 2.7% (early phase) and 31 +/- 2.4% (delayed phase) (P < 0.05 vs. 3-NPA groups). 5-HD had no proischemic effect in control animals. Also, 3-NPA had no effect on systemic hemodynamics. We conclude that 3-NPA induces long-lasting anti-ischemic effects via opening of mitochondrial K(ATP) channels.

Abstract
We investigated the role of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphorylation and opening of the mitochondrial ATP-sensitive K(+) [(K(ATP))(mito)] channel in the adenosine A(1) receptor (A(1)AR)-induced delayed cardioprotective effect in the mouse heart. Adult male mice were treated with vehicle (5% DMSO) or the A(1)AR agonist 2-chloro-N(6)-cyclopentyladenosine (CCPA; 0.1 mg/kg ip). Twenty-four hours later, hearts were subjected to 30 min of global ischemia and 30 min of reperfusion in the Langendorff mode. Genistein or SB-203580 (1 mg/kg i.p.) given 30 min before CCPA treatment was used to block receptor tyrosine kinase or p38 MAPK phosphorylation, respectively. 5-Hydroxydecanoate (5-HD; 200 microM) was used to block (K(ATP))(mito) channels. CCPA produced marked improvement in left ventricular function, which was partially blocked by SB-203580 and 5-HD and completely abolished with genistein. CCPA caused a reduction in infarct size (12.0 +/- 2.0 vs. 30.3 +/- 3.0% in vehicle), which was blocked by genistein (29.4 +/- 2.3%), SB-203580 (28.3 +/- 2.6%), and 5-HD (33.9 +/- 2.4%). CCPA treatment also caused increased phosphorylation of p38 MAPK during ischemia, which was blocked by genistein, SB-203580, and 5-HD. The results suggest that A(1)AR-triggered delayed cardioprotection is mediated by p38 MAPK phosphorylation. Blockade of cardioprotection with 5-HD concomitant with decrease in p38 MAPK phosphorylation suggests a potential role of (K(ATP))(mito) channel opening in phosphorylation and ensuing the late preconditioning effect of A(1)AR.

Abstract
Whether the mitochondrial ATP-dependent potassium (mK(ATP)) channel is the trigger or the mediator of cardioprotection is controversial. We investigated the critical time sequences of mK(ATP) channel opening for cardioprotection in isolated rabbit hearts. Pretreatment with diazoxide (100 microM), a selective mK(ATP) channel opener, for 5 min followed by 10 min washout before the 30-min ischemia and 2-h reperfusion significantly reduced infarct size (9 +/- 3 vs. 35 +/- 3% in control), indicating a role of mK(ATP) channels as a trigger of protection. The protection was blocked by coadministration of the L-type Ca(2+) channel blockers nifedipine (100 nM) or 5-hydroxydecanoic acid (5-HD; 50 microM) or by the protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor chelerythrine (5 microM). The protection of diazoxide was not blocked by 50 microM 5-HD but was blocked by 200 microM 5-HD or 10 microM glybenclamide administrated 5 min before and throughout the 30 min of ischemia, indicating a role of mK(ATP) opening as a mediator of protection. Giving diazoxide throughout the 30 min of ischemia also protected the heart, and the protection was not blocked by chelerythrine. Nifedipine did not affect the ability of diazoxide to open mK(ATP) channels assessed by mitochondrial redox state. In electrically stimulated rabbit ventricular myocytes, diazoxide significantly increased Ca(2+) transient but had no effect on L-type Ca(2+) currents. Our results suggest that opening of mK(ATP) channels can trigger cardioprotection. The trigger phase may be induced by elevation of intracellular Ca(2+) and activation of PKC. During the lethal ischemia, mK(ATP) channel opening mediates the protection, independent of PKC, by yet unknown mechanisms.

Abstract
We investigated the role of tyrosine kinase (TK) signaling in the opening of the ATP-sensitive K(+) (K(ATP)) channel and 72-kDa heat shock protein (HSP72) expression during late preconditioning. Rabbits were subjected to surgical operation (sham) or were preconditioned (PC) with four cycles of 5 min of ischemia and 10 min of reperfusion. Twenty-four hours later, animals were subjected to 30 min of ischemia and 180 min of reperfusion. Genistein (1 mg/kg ip) was used to block the receptor TK. Six groups were studied: control, sham, genistein-sham, PC, genistein-PC, and vehicle-PC group (1% dimethyl sulfoxide). Genistein or vehicle was given 30 min before the surgical procedure. Genistein pretreatment decreased the expression of HSP72 in PC hearts and suppressed action potential duration shortening during ischemia in sham and PC groups. Infarct size (%risk area) was reduced in the PC (11.6 +/- 1.0%) and vehicle-PC (19.3 +/- 2.0%) compared with the control (40.0 +/- 3.8%) or sham (46.0 +/- 2.0%) groups (P < 0.05). Genistein pretreatment increased infarct size to 46.4 +/- 4.1% in the PC hearts. We conclude that TK signaling is involved in K(ATP) channel opening and HSP72 expression during late PC.
