Reactive oxygen species generation by reverse electron transfer at mitochondrial complex I under simulated early reperfusion conditions. Redox Biol 2024; 70:103047. [PMID: 38295577 PMCID: PMC10844975 DOI: 10.1016/j.redox.2024.103047] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2023] [Revised: 01/09/2024] [Accepted: 01/15/2024] [Indexed: 02/02/2024] Open
Abstract
Ischemic tissues accumulate succinate, which is rapidly oxidized upon reperfusion, driving a burst of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation that triggers cell death. In isolated mitochondria with succinate as the sole metabolic substrate under non-phosphorylating conditions, 90 % of ROS generation is from reverse electron transfer (RET) at the Q site of respiratory complex I (Cx-I). Together, these observations suggest Cx-I RET is the source of pathologic ROS in reperfusion injury. However, numerous factors present in early reperfusion may impact Cx-I RET, including: (i) High [NADH]; (ii) High [lactate]; (iii) Mildly acidic pH; (iv) Defined ATP/ADP ratios; (v) Presence of the nucleosides adenosine and inosine; and (vi) Defined free [Ca2+]. Herein, experiments with mouse cardiac mitochondria revealed that under simulated early reperfusion conditions including these factors, total mitochondrial ROS generation was only 56 ± 17 % of that seen with succinate alone (mean ± 95 % confidence intervals). Of this ROS, only 52 ± 20 % was assignable to Cx-I RET. A further 14 ± 7 % could be assigned to complex III, with the remainder (34 ± 11 %) likely originating from other ROS sources upstream of the Cx-I Q site. Together, these data suggest the relative contribution of Cx-I RET ROS to reperfusion injury may be overestimated, and other ROS sources may contribute a significant fraction of ROS in early reperfusion.

Ketema EB, Ahsan M, Zhang L, Karwi QG, Lopaschuk GD. Protein lysine acetylation does not contribute to the high rates of fatty acid oxidation seen in the post-ischemic heart. Sci Rep 2024; 14:1193.

Abstract
High rates of cardiac fatty acid oxidation during reperfusion of ischemic hearts contribute to contractile dysfunction. This study aimed to investigate whether lysine acetylation affects fatty acid oxidation rates and recovery in post-ischemic hearts. Isolated working hearts from Sprague Dawley rats were perfused with 1.2 mM palmitate and 5 mM glucose and subjected to 30 min of ischemia and 40 min of reperfusion. Cardiac function, fatty acid oxidation, glucose oxidation, and glycolysis rates were compared between pre- and post-ischemic hearts. The acetylation status of enzymes involved in cardiac energy metabolism was assessed in both groups. Reperfusion after ischemia resulted in only a 41% recovery of cardiac work. Fatty acid oxidation and glycolysis rates increased while glucose oxidation rates decreased. The contribution of fatty acid oxidation to ATP production and TCA cycle activity increased from 90 to 93% and from 94.9 to 98.3%, respectively, in post-ischemic hearts. However, the overall acetylation status and acetylation levels of metabolic enzymes did not change in response to ischemia and reperfusion. These findings suggest that acetylation may not contribute to the high rates of fatty acid oxidation and reduced glucose oxidation observed in post-ischemic hearts perfused with high levels of palmitate substrate.

Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction is an event of myocardial necrosis caused by unstable ischemic syndrome. Myocardial infarction (MI) occurs when blood stops flowing to the cardiac tissue or myocardium and the heart muscle gets damaged due to poor perfusion and reduced oxygen supply. Mitochondria can serve as the arbiter of cell fate in response to stress. Oxidative metabolism is the function of mitochondria within the cell. Cardiac cells being highly oxidative tissue generates about 90% of their energy through oxidative metabolism. In this review, we focused on the role of mitochondria in energy generation in myocytes as well as its consequences on heart cells causing cell damage. The role of mitochondrial dysfunction due to oxidative stress, production of reactive oxygen species, and anaerobic production of lactate as a failure of oxidative metabolism are also discussed.

Abstract
Background The metabolite succinate accumulates during cardiac ischemia. Within 5 minutes of reperfusion, succinate returns to baseline levels via both its release from cells and oxidation by mitochondrial complex II. The latter drives reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and subsequent opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition (PT) pore, leading to cell death. Targeting succinate dynamics (accumulation/oxidation/release) may be therapeutically beneficial in cardiac ischemia–reperfusion (IR) injury. It has been proposed that blocking MCT1 (monocarboxylate transporter 1) may be beneficial in IR injury, by preventing succinate release and subsequent engagement of downstream inflammatory signaling pathways. In contrast, herein we hypothesized that blocking MCT1 would retain succinate in cells, exacerbating ROS generation and IR injury. Methods and Results Using the mitochondrial ROS probe mitoSOX and a custom‐built murine heart perfusion rig built into a spectrofluorometer, we measured ROS generation in situ during the first moments of reperfusion. We found that acute MCT1 inhibition enhanced mitochondrial ROS generation at reperfusion and worsened IR injury (recovery of function and infarct size). Both of these effects were abrogated by tandem inhibition of mitochondrial complex II, suggesting that succinate retention worsens IR because it drives more mitochondrial ROS generation. Furthermore, using the PT pore inhibitor cyclosporin A, along with monitoring of PT pore opening via the mitochondrial membrane potential indicator tetramethylrhodamine ethyl ester, we herein provide evidence that ROS generation during early reperfusion is upstream of the PT pore, not downstream as proposed by others. In addition, pore opening was exacerbated by MCT1 inhibition. Conclusions Together, these findings highlight the importance of succinate dynamics and mitochondrial ROS generation as key determinants of PT pore opening and IR injury outcomes.

Abstract
The ratio of oxidized to reduced NAD (NAD+/NADH) sets intracellular redox balance and antioxidant capacity. Intracellular NAD is compartmentalized and the mitochondrial NAD+/NADH ratio is intricately linked to cellular function. Here, we report the monitoring of the NAD+/NADH ratio in mitochondrial and cytosolic compartments in live cells by using a modified genetic biosensor (SoNar). The fluorescence signal of SoNar targeted to mitochondria (mt-SoNar) or cytosol (ct-SoNar) responded linearly to physiological NAD+/NADH ratios in situ. NAD+/NADH ratios in cytosol versus mitochondria responded rapidly, but differently, to acute metabolic perturbations, indicating distinct NAD pools. Subcellular NAD redox balance regained homeostasis via communications through malate-aspartate shuttle. Mitochondrial and cytosolic NAD+/NADH ratios are influenced by NAD+ precursor levels and are distinctly regulated under pathophysiological conditions. Compartment-targeted biosensors and real-time imaging allow assessment of subcellular NAD+/NADH redox signaling in live cells, enabling future mechanistic research of NAD redox in cell biology and disease development.

Abstract
AIMS Transient ischaemia and reperfusion (TIAR) induce early ischaemic preconditioning (IPC) in different tissues and organs, including the skin. IPC protects tissues by modifying the mitochondrial function and decreasing the amount of the reduced form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH). Skin 460-nm autofluorescence is proportional to the NADH content and can be non-invasively measured during TIAR. We propose a non-invasive in vivo human model of skin IPC for studying the effects of repeated TIARs on the NADH content. METHODS Fifty-one apparently healthy volunteers (36 women) underwent three 100-second forearm ischaemia episodes induced by inflation of brachial pressure cuff to the pressure of 60 mmHg above systolic blood pressure, followed by 500-second long reperfusion episodes. Changes in skin NADH content were measured using 460-nm fluorescence before and during each of the three TIARs. RESULTS The first two TIARs caused a significant reduction in the skin NADH content before (P = .0065) and during the third ischaemia (P = .0011) and reperfusion (P = .0003) up to 3.0%. During the third TIAR, the increase in skin NADH was 20% lower than during the first ischaemia (P = .0474). CONCLUSIONS The measurement of the 460-nm fluorescence during repeated TIARs allows for a non-invasive in vivo investigation of human skin IPC. Although IPC reduces the overall NADH skin content, the most noticeable NADH reduction appears during ischaemia after earlier TIARs. Studying the skin model of IPC may provide new avenues for in vivo physiological, clinical and pharmacological research on mitochondrial metabolism.

Metabolism of hyperpolarized 13 C-acetoacetate to β-hydroxybutyrate detects real-time mitochondrial redox state and dysfunction in heart tissue. NMR IN BIOMEDICINE 2019; 32:e4091.

Abstract
Mitochondrial dysfunction is considered to be an important component of many metabolic diseases yet there is no reliable imaging biomarker for monitoring mitochondrial damage in vivo. A large prior literature on inter-conversion of β-hydroxybutyrate and acetoacetate indicates that the process is mitochondrial and that the ratio reflects a specifically mitochondrial redox state. Therefore, the conversion of [1,3-13 C]acetoacetate to [1,3-13 C]β-hydroxybutyrate is expected to be sensitive to the abnormal redox state present in dysfunctional mitochondria. In this study, we examined the conversion of hyperpolarized (HP) 13 C-acetoacetate (AcAc) to 13 C-β-hydroxybutyrate (β-HB) as a potential imaging biomarker for mitochondrial redox and dysfunction in perfused rat hearts. Conversion of HP-AcAc to β-HB was investigated using 13 C magnetic resonance spectroscopy in Langendorff-perfused rat hearts in four groups: control, global ischemic reperfusion, low-flow ischemic, and rotenone (mitochondrial complex-I inhibitor)-treated hearts. We observed that more β-HB was produced from AcAc in ischemic hearts and the hearts exposed to complex I inhibitor rotenone compared with controls, consistent with the accumulation of excess mitochondrial NADH. The increase in β-HB, as detected by 13 C MRS, was validated by a direct measure of tissue β-HB by 1 H nuclear magnetic resonance in tissue extracts. The redox ratio, NAD+ /NADH, measured by enzyme assays of homogenized tissue, also paralleled production of β-HB from AcAc. Transmission electron microscopy of tissues provided direct evidence for abnormal mitochondrial structure in each ischemic tissue model. The results suggest that conversion of HP-AcAc to HP-β-HB detected by 13 C-MRS may serve as a useful diagnostic marker of mitochondrial redox and dysfunction in heart tissue in vivo.

Ischemia time impacts on respiratory chain functions and Ca 2+-handling of cardiac subsarcolemmal mitochondria subjected to ischemia reperfusion injury. J Cardiothorac Surg 2019; 14:92.

Abstract
Background Mitochondrial impairment can result from myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury (IR). Despite cardioplegic arrest, IR-associated cardiodepression is a major problem in heart surgery. We determined the effect of increasing ischemia time on the respiratory chain (RC) function, the inner membrane polarization and Ca2+ homeostasis of rat cardiac subsarcolemmal mitochondria (SSM). Methods Wistar rat hearts were divided into 4 groups of stop-flow induced warm global IR using a pressure-controlled Langendorff system: 0, 15, 30 and 40 min of ischemia with 30 min of reperfusion, respectively. Myocardial contractility was determined from left ventricular pressure records (dP/dt, dPmax) with an intraventricular balloon. Following reperfusion, SSM were isolated and analyzed regarding electron transport chain (ETC) coupling by polarography (Clark-Type electrode), membrane polarization (JC1 fluorescence) and Ca2+-handling in terms of Ca2+-induced swelling and Ca2+-uptake/release (Calcium Green-5 N® fluorescence). Results LV contractility and systolic pressure during reperfusion were impaired by increasing ischemic times. Ischemia reduced ETC oxygen consumption in IR40/30 compared to IR0/30 at complex I-V (8.1 ± 1.2 vs. 18.2 ± 2.0 nmol/min) and II-IV/V (16.4 ± 2.6/14.8 ± 2.3 vs. 2.3 ± 0.6 nmol/min) in state 3 respiration (p < 0.01). Relative membrane potential revealed a distinct hyperpolarization in IR30/30 and IR40/30 (171.5 ± 17.4% and 170.9 ± 13.5%) compared to IR0/30 (p < 0.01), wearing off swiftly after CCCP-induced uncoupling. Excess mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP)-gated Ca2+-induced swelling was recorded in all groups and was most pronounced in IR40/30. Pyruvate addition for mPTP blocking strongly reduced SSM swelling in IR40/30 (relative AUC, ± pyruvate; IR0/30: 1.00 vs. 0.61, IR15/30: 1.68 vs. 1.00, IR30/30: 1.42 vs. 0.75, IR40/30: 1.97 vs. 0.85; p < 0.01). Ca2+-uptake remained unaffected by previous IR. Though Ca2+-release was delayed for ≥30 min of ischemia (p < 0.01), Ca2+ retention was highest in IR15/30 (RFU; IR0/30: 6.3 ± 3.6, IR 15/30 42.9 ± 5.0, IR30/30 15.9 ± 3.8, IR40/30 11.5 ± 6.6; p ≤ 0.01 for IR15/30 against all other groups). Conclusions Ischemia prolongation in IR injury gradually impaired SSM in terms of respiratory chain function and Ca2+-homeostasis. Membrane hyperpolarization appears to be responsible for impaired Ca2+-cycling and ETC function. Ischemia time should be considered an important factor influencing IR experimental data on subsarcolemmal mitochondria. Periods of warm global ischemia should be minimized during cardiac surgery to avoid excessive damage to SSMs.

Abstract
Ischemic conditioning induces cardioprotection; the final infarct size following a myocardial ischemic event is reduced. However, whether ischemic conditioning has long-term beneficial effects on myocardial contractile function following such an ischemic event needs further elucidation. To date, ex vivo studies have shown that ischemic conditioning improves the contractile recovery of isolated ventricular papillary muscle or atrial trabeculae following simulated ischemia. However, in vivo animal studies and studies in patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery show conflicting results. At the subcellular level, it is known that ischemic conditioning improved energy metabolism, preserved mitochondrial respiration, ATP production, and Ca2+ homeostasis in isolated mitochondria from the myocardium. Ischemic conditioning also presents with post-translational modifications of proteins in the contractile machinery of the myocardium. The beneficial effects on myocardial contractile function need further elucidation. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: The power of metabolism: Linking energy supply and demand to contractile function edited by Torsten Doenst, Michael Schwarzer and Christine Des Rosiers.

Abstract
Both big (BKCa) and small (SKCa) conductance Ca-sensitive K channels are present in mammalian cardiac cell mitochondria (m). We used pharmacological agonists and antagonists of BKCa and SKCa channels to examine the importance of endogenous opening of these channels and the relative contribution of either or both of these channels to protect against contractile dysfunction and reduce infarct size after ischemia reperfusion (IR) injury through a mitochondrial protective mechanism. After global cardiac IR injury of ex vivo perfused Guinea pig hearts, we found the following: both agonists NS1619 (for BKCa) and DCEB (for SKCa) improved contractility; BKCa antagonist paxilline (PAX) alone or with SKCa antagonist NS8593 worsened contractility and enhanced infarct size; both antagonists PAX and NS8593 obliterated protection by their respective agonists; BKCa and SKCa antagonists did not block protection afforded by SKCa and BKCa agonists, respectively; and all protective effects by the agonists were blocked by scavenging superoxide anions (O2) with Mn(III) tetrakis (4-benzoic acid) porphyrin (TBAP). Contractile function was inversely associated with global infarct size. In in vivo rats, infusion of NS8593, PAX, or both antagonists enhanced regional infarct size while infusion of either NS1619 or DCEB reduced infarct size. In cardiac mitochondria isolated from ex vivo hearts after IR, combined SKCa and BKCa agonists improved respiratory control index and Ca retention capacity compared with IR alone, whereas the combined antagonists did not alter respiratory control index but worsened Ca retention capacity. Although the differential protective bioenergetics effects of endogenous or exogenous BKCa and SKCa channel opening remain unclear, each channel likely responds to different sensing Ca concentrations and voltage gradients over time during oxidative stress-induced injury to individually or together protect cardiac mitochondria and myocytes.

Andrienko TN, Pasdois P, Pereira GC, Ovens MJ, Halestrap AP. The role of succinate and ROS in reperfusion injury - A critical appraisal. J Mol Cell Cardiol 2017; 110:1-14. [PMID: 28689004 PMCID: PMC5678286 DOI: 10.1016/j.yjmcc.2017.06.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 103] [Impact Index Per Article: 14.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2017] [Revised: 06/14/2017] [Accepted: 06/30/2017] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
We critically assess the proposal that succinate-fuelled reverse electron flow (REF) drives mitochondrial matrix superoxide production from Complex I early in reperfusion, thus acting as a key mediator of ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury. Real-time surface fluorescence measurements of NAD(P)H and flavoprotein redox state suggest that conditions are unfavourable for REF during early reperfusion. Furthermore, rapid loss of succinate accumulated during ischemia can be explained by its efflux rather than oxidation. Moreover, succinate accumulation during ischemia is not attenuated by ischemic preconditioning (IP) despite powerful cardioprotection. In addition, measurement of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) during reperfusion using surface fluorescence and mitochondrial aconitase activity detected major increases in ROS only after mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) opening was first detected. We conclude that mPTP opening is probably triggered initially by factors other than ROS, including increased mitochondrial [Ca2+]. However, IP only attenuates [Ca2+] increases later in reperfusion, again after initial mPTP opening, implying that IP regulates mPTP opening through additional mechanisms. One such is mitochondria-bound hexokinase 2 (HK2) which dissociates from mitochondria during ischemia in control hearts but not those subject to IP. Indeed, there is a strong correlation between the extent of HK2 loss from mitochondria during ischemia and infarct size on subsequent reperfusion. Mechanisms linking HK2 dissociation to mPTP sensitisation remain to be fully established but several related processes have been implicated including VDAC1 oligomerisation, the stability of contact sites between the inner and outer membranes, cristae morphology, Bcl-2 family members and mitochondrial fission proteins such as Drp1.

Abstract
We provide evidence for location and function of a small conductance, Ca2+-activated K+ (SKCa) channel isoform 3 (SK3) in mitochondria (m) of guinea pig, rat and human ventricular myocytes. SKCa agonists protected isolated hearts and mitochondria against ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury; SKCa antagonists worsened IR injury. Intravenous infusion of a SKCa channel agonist/antagonist, respectively, in intact rats was effective in reducing/enhancing regional infarct size induced by coronary artery occlusion. Localization of SK3 in mitochondria was evidenced by Western blot of inner mitochondrial membrane, immunocytochemical staining of cardiomyocytes, and immunogold labeling of isolated mitochondria. We identified a SK3 splice variant in guinea pig (SK3.1, aka SK3a) and human ventricular cells (SK3.2) by amplifying mRNA, and show mitochondrial expression in mouse atrial tumor cells (HL-1) by transfection with full length and truncated SK3.1 protein. We found that the N-terminus is not required for mitochondrial trafficking but the C-terminus beyond the Ca2+ calmodulin binding domain is required for Ca2+ sensing to induce mK+ influx and/or promote mitochondrial localization. In isolated guinea pig mitochondria and in SK3 overexpressed HL-1 cells, mK+ influx was driven by adding CaCl2. Moreover, there was a greater fall in membrane potential (ΔΨm), and enhanced cell death with simulated cell injury after silencing SK3.1 with siRNA. Although SKCa channel opening protects the heart and mitochondria against IR injury, the mechanism for favorable bioenergetics effects resulting from SKCa channel opening remains unclear. SKCa channels could play an essential role in restraining cardiac mitochondria from inducing oxidative stress-induced injury resulting from mCa2+ overload.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The reduced form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) increases in cardiomyopathy, activates protein kinase C (PKC), up-regulates mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mitoROS), and down-regulates the cardiac Na+ channel (NaV1.5). OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine how NADH signals down-regulation of NaV1.5. METHODS Isolated mouse cardiomyocytes were used for patch-clamp recording and for monitoring mitoROS with MitoSOX Red. HEK293 cells were used for transient transfections. HEK293 cells stably expressing human NaV1.5 were used for single channel recording, whole-cell patch-clamp recording, activity measurements of phospholipase C and phospholipase D (PLD), channel protein purification, and co-immunoprecipitation with PKC isoforms. HL-1 cells were used for mitochondria isolation. RESULTS NADH enhanced PLD activity (1.6- ± 0.1-fold, P <.01) and activated PKCδ. Activated PKCδ translocated to mitochondria and up-regulated mitoROS (2.8- ± 0.3-fold, P <.01) by enhancing the activities of mitochondrial complexes I, II, and IV (1.1- to 1.5-fold, P <.01). PKCδ also interacted with NaV1.5 to down-regulate Na+ current (INa). Reduction in INa by activated PKCδ was prevented by antioxidants and by mutating the known PKC phosphorylation site S1503. At the single channel level, the mechanism of current reduction by PKC and recovery by protein kinase A was a change in single channel conductance. CONCLUSION NADH activated PKCδ by enhancing PLD activity. PKCδ modulated both mitoROS and NaV1.5. PKCδ elevated mitoROS by enhancing mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation complex activities. PKCδ-mediated channel phosphorylation and mitoROS were both required to down-regulate NaV1.5 and alter single channel conductance.

PLoS One 2016; 11:e0167300.

Abstract
Mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) opening is critical for ischemia / reperfusion (I/R) injury and is associated with increased [Ca2+] and reactive oxygen species (ROS). Here we employ surface fluorescence to establish the temporal sequence of these events in beating perfused hearts subject to global I/R. A bespoke fluorimeter was used to synchronously monitor surface fluorescence and reflectance of Langendorff-perfused rat hearts at multiple wavelengths, with simultaneous measurements of hemodynamic function. Potential interference by motion artefacts and internal filtering was assessed and minimised. Re-oxidation of NAD(P)H and flavoproteins on reperfusion (detected using autofluorescence) was rapid (t0.5 < 15 s) and significantly slower following ischemic preconditioning (IP). This argues against superoxide production from reduced Complex 1 being a critical mediator of initial mPTP opening during early reperfusion. Furthermore, MitoPY1 (a mitochondria-targeted H2O2-sensitive fluorescent probe) and aconitase activity measurements failed to detect matrix ROS increases during early reperfusion. However, two different fluorescent cytosolic ROS probes did detect ROS increases after 2–3 min of reperfusion, which was shown to be after initiation of mPTP opening. Cyclosporin A (CsA) and IP attenuated these responses and reduced infarct size. [Ca2+]i (monitored with Indo-1) increased progressively during ischemia, but dropped rapidly within 90 s of reperfusion when total mitochondrial [Ca2+] was shown to be increased. These early changes in [Ca2+] were not attenuated by IP, but substantial [Ca2+] increases were observed after 2–3 min reperfusion and these were prevented by both IP and CsA. Our data suggest that the major increases in ROS and [Ca2+] detected later in reperfusion are secondary to mPTP opening. If earlier IP-sensitive changes occur that might trigger initial mPTP opening they are below our limit of detection. Rather, we suggest that IP may inhibit initial mPTP opening by alternative mechanisms such as prevention of hexokinase 2 dissociation from mitochondria during ischemia.

Mg(2+) differentially regulates two modes of mitochondrial Ca(2+) uptake in isolated cardiac mitochondria: implications for mitochondrial Ca(2+) sequestration. J Bioenerg Biomembr 2016; 48:175-88.

Abstract
The manner in which mitochondria take up and store Ca(2+) remains highly debated. Recent experimental and computational evidence has suggested the presence of at least two modes of Ca(2+) uptake and a complex Ca(2+) sequestration mechanism in mitochondria. But how Mg(2+) regulates these different modes of Ca(2+) uptake as well as mitochondrial Ca(2+) sequestration is not known. In this study, we investigated two different ways by which mitochondria take up and sequester Ca(2+) by using two different protocols. Isolated guinea pig cardiac mitochondria were exposed to varying concentrations of CaCl2 in the presence or absence of MgCl2. In the first protocol, A, CaCl2 was added to the respiration buffer containing isolated mitochondria, whereas in the second protocol, B, mitochondria were added to the respiration buffer with CaCl2 already present. Protocol A resulted first in a fast transitory uptake followed by a slow gradual uptake. In contrast, protocol B only revealed a slow and gradual Ca(2+) uptake, which was approximately 40 % of the slow uptake rate observed in protocol A. These two types of Ca(2+) uptake modes were differentially modulated by extra-matrix Mg(2+). That is, Mg(2+) markedly inhibited the slow mode of Ca(2+) uptake in both protocols in a concentration-dependent manner, but not the fast mode of uptake exhibited in protocol A. Mg(2+) also inhibited Na(+)-dependent Ca(2+) extrusion. The general Ca(2+) binding properties of the mitochondrial Ca(2+) sequestration system were reaffirmed and shown to be independent of the mode of Ca(2+) uptake, i.e. through the fast or slow mode of uptake. In addition, extra-matrix Mg(2+) hindered Ca(2+) sequestration. Our results indicate that mitochondria exhibit different modes of Ca(2+) uptake depending on the nature of exposure to extra-matrix Ca(2+), which are differentially sensitive to Mg(2+). The implications of these findings in cardiomyocytes are discussed.

Abstract
Stretching the cardiac left ventricle (LV) enhances contractility but its effect on myoplasmic [Ca2+] is controversial. We measured LV pressure (LVP) and [Ca2+] as a function of intra-LV stretch in guinea pig intact hearts before and after 15 min global stunning ± perfusion with streptomycin (STM), a stretch-activated channel blocker. LV wall [Ca2+] was measured by indo-1 fluorescence and LVP by a saline-filled latex balloon inflated in 50 μL steps to stretch the LV. We implemented a mathematical model to interpret cross-bridge dynamics and myofilament Ca2+ responsiveness from the instantaneous relationship between [Ca2+] and LVP ± stretching. We found that: (1) stretch enhanced LVP but not [Ca2+] before and after stunning in either control (CON) and STM groups, (2) after stunning [Ca2+] increased in both groups although higher in STM versus CON (56% vs. 39%), (3) STM-enhanced LVP after stunning compared to CON (98% vs. 76% of prestunning values), and (4) stretch-induced effects on LVP were independent of [Ca2+] before or after stunning in both groups. Mathematical modeling suggested: (1) cooperativity in cross-bridge kinetics and myofilament Ca2+ handling is reduced after stunning in the unstretched heart, (2) stunning results in depressed myofilament Ca2+ sensitivity in the presence of attached cross-bridges regardless of stretch, and (3) the initial mechanism responsible for increased contractility during stretch may be enhanced formation of cross-bridges. Thus stretch-induced enhancement of contractility is not due to increased [Ca2+], whereas enhanced contractility after stunning in STM versus CON hearts results from improved Ca2+ handling and/or enhanced actinomyosin cross-bridge cycling.

Abstract
Ventricular arrhythmia is the leading cause of sudden cardiac death (SCD). Deranged cardiac metabolism and abnormal redox state during cardiac diseases foment arrhythmogenic substrates through direct or indirect modulation of cardiac ion channel/transporter function. This review presents current evidence on the mechanisms linking metabolic derangement and excessive oxidative stress to ion channel/transporter dysfunction that predisposes to ventricular arrhythmias and SCD. Because conventional antiarrhythmic agents aiming at ion channels have proven challenging to use, targeting arrhythmogenic metabolic changes and redox imbalance may provide novel therapeutics to treat or prevent life-threatening arrhythmias and SCD.

Abstract
Mitochondria are essential to providing ATP, thereby satisfying the energy demand of the incessant electrical activity and contractile action of cardiac muscle. Emerging evidence indicates that mitochondrial dysfunction can adversely affect cardiac electrical functioning by impairing the intracellular ion homeostasis and membrane excitability through reduced ATP production and excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, resulting in increased propensity to cardiac arrhythmias. In this review, the molecular mechanisms linking mitochondrial dysfunction to cardiac arrhythmias are discussed with an emphasis on the impact of increased mitochondrial ROS on the cardiac ion channels and transporters that are critical to maintaining normal electromechanical functioning of the cardiomyocytes. The potential of using mitochondria-targeted antioxidants as a novel antiarrhythmia therapy is highlighted.

Protection against cardiac injury by small Ca(2+)-sensitive K(+) channels identified in guinea pig cardiac inner mitochondrial membrane. BIOCHIMICA ET BIOPHYSICA ACTA-BIOMEMBRANES 2012; 1828:427-42. [PMID: 22982251 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbamem.2012.08.031] [Citation(s) in RCA: 55] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2012] [Revised: 08/29/2012] [Accepted: 08/30/2012] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
We tested if small conductance, Ca(2+)-sensitive K(+) channels (SK(Ca)) precondition hearts against ischemia reperfusion (IR) injury by improving mitochondrial (m) bioenergetics, if O(2)-derived free radicals are required to initiate protection via SK(Ca) channels, and, importantly, if SK(Ca) channels are present in cardiac cell inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM). NADH and FAD, superoxide (O(2)(-)), and m[Ca(2+)] were measured in guinea pig isolated hearts by fluorescence spectrophotometry. SK(Ca) and IK(Ca) channel opener DCEBIO (DCEB) was given for 10 min and ended 20 min before IR. Either TBAP, a dismutator of O(2)()(-), NS8593, an antagonist of SK(Ca) isoforms, or other K(Ca) and K(ATP) channel antagonists, were given before DCEB and before ischemia. DCEB treatment resulted in a 2-fold increase in LV pressure on reperfusion and a 2.5 fold decrease in infarct size vs. non-treated hearts associated with reduced O(2)(-) and m[Ca(2+)], and more normalized NADH and FAD during IR. Only NS8593 and TBAP antagonized protection by DCEB. Localization of SK(Ca) channels to mitochondria and IMM was evidenced by a) identification of purified mSK(Ca) protein by Western blotting, immuno-histochemical staining, confocal microscopy, and immuno-gold electron microscopy, b) 2-D gel electrophoresis and mass spectroscopy of IMM protein, c) [Ca(2+)]-dependence of mSK(Ca) channels in planar lipid bilayers, and d) matrix K(+) influx induced by DCEB and blocked by SK(Ca) antagonist UCL1684. This study shows that 1) SK(Ca) channels are located and functional in IMM, 2) mSK(Ca) channel opening by DCEB leads to protection that is O(2)(-) dependent, and 3) protection by DCEB is evident beginning during ischemia.

Abstract
AIMS Opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) is an important step on the pathway towards cardiomyocyte death, defining the extent of injury following cardiac ischaemia and reperfusion. In isolated mitochondria, mPTP opening is triggered by calcium overload facilitated by oxidative stress. In isolated cells, however, it has been suggested that mPTP opening occurs before calcium overload and is stimulated by oxidative stress. Our objective was to establish the events that cause mPTP opening in the intact heart. METHODS AND RESULTS We performed multiphoton imaging of Langendorff-perfused mouse hearts expressing an inducible, Ca(2+)-sensitive reporter (circularly Permuted GFP and calmodulin (CaM), version 2), to examine the spatiotemporal relationship between [Ca(2+)](c), redox state, and mPTP opening in the intact heart during hypoxia and reoxygenation at sub-myocyte resolution. We found that during reperfusion, calcium waves propagated across multiple cells at 3.3 µm/s. mPTP opening caused an abrupt loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, measured using a potentiometric dye, which was invariably preceded by a rise in [Ca(2+)](c). The probability that localized [Ca(2+)](c) waves led to mPTP opening was greater early during reoxygenation. During reoxygenation, coordinated redox changes also occurred across large regions and preceded mPTP opening on average by 122 ± 38 s. Fewer [Ca(2+)] waves led to mPTP opening in the presence of mPTP inhibitor cyclosporin A or mitochondrial-targeted scavenger of reactive oxygen species, MitoQ. CONCLUSION These experiments define the spatiotemporal relationship between changes in [Ca(2+)](c), redox state and mPTP opening during reoxygenation in the intact heart. Tissue oxidation coincident with localized calcium waves together conspire to cause mPTP opening and subsequent cell death.

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
The mitochondrion is a powerhouse of the cell, a platform of cell signaling and decision-maker of cell death, including death by ischemia/reperfusion. Ischemia shuts off ATP production by mitochondria, and cell viability is compromised by energy deficiency and build-up of cytotoxic metabolites during ischemia. Furthermore, the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) is primed by ischemia to open upon reperfusion, leading to reperfusion-induced cell necrosis. mPTP opening can be suppressed by ischemic preconditioning (IPC) and other interventions that induce phosphorylation of GSK-3beta. Activation of the mitochondrial ATP-sensitive K(+) channel (mK(ATP) channel) is an important signaling step in a trigger phase of IPC, which ultimately enhances GSK-3beta phosphorylation upon reperfusion, and this channel functions as a mediator of cytoprotection as well. The mitochondrial Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channel appears to play roles similar to those of the mK(ATP) channel, though regulatory mechanisms of the channels are different. Phosphorylated GSK-3beta inhibits mPTP opening presumably by multiple mechanisms, including preservation of hexokinase II in mPTP complex, prevention of interaction of cyclophilin-D with adenine nucleotide translocase, inhibition of p53 activation and attenuation of ATP hydrolysis during ischemia. However, cytoprotective signaling pathways to GSK-3beta phosphorylation and other mPTP regulatory factors are modified by co-morbidities, including type 2 diabetes, and such modification makes the myocardium refractory to IPC and other cardioprotective agents. Regulatory mechanisms of mPTP, and their alterations by morbidities frequently associated with ischemic heart disease need to be further characterized for translation of mitochondrial and mPTP biology to the clinical arena.

Abstract
The Ca(2+)-dependent facilitation (CDF) of L-type Ca(2+) channels, a major mechanism for force-frequency relationship of cardiac contraction, is mediated by Ca(2+)/CaM-dependent kinase II (CaMKII). Recently, CaMKII was shown to be activated by methionine oxidation. We investigated whether oxidation-dependent CaMKII activation is involved in the regulation of L-type Ca(2+) currents (I(Ca,L)) by H(2)O(2) and whether Ca(2+) is required in this process. Using patch clamp, I(Ca)(,L) was measured in rat ventricular myocytes. H(2)O(2) induced an increase in I(Ca,L) amplitude and slowed inactivation of I(Ca)(,L). This oxidation-dependent facilitation (ODF) of I(Ca)(,L) was abolished by a CaMKII blocker KN-93, but not by its inactive analog KN-92, indicating that CaMKII is involved in ODF. ODF was not affected by replacement of external Ca(2+) with Ba(2+) or presence of EGTA in the internal solutions. However, ODF was abolished by adding BAPTA to the internal solution or by depleting sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+) stores using caffeine and thapsigargin. Alkaline phosphatase, beta-iminoadenosine 5'-triphosphate (AMP-PNP), an autophosphorylation inhibitor autocamtide-2-related inhibitory peptide (AIP), or a catalytic domain blocker (CaM-KIINtide) did not affect ODF. In conclusion, oxidation-dependent facilitation of L-type Ca(2+) channels is mediated by oxidation-dependent CaMKII activation, in which local Ca(2+) increases induced by SR Ca(2+) release is required.

Abstract
Glycogen synthase kinase-3beta (GSK-3beta) is a multifunctional Ser/Thr kinase that plays important roles in necrosis and apoptosis of cardiomyocytes. A major mechanism of cell necrosis is the opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP), which consists of multiple protein subunits, including adenine nucleotide translocase (ANT). The threshold for mPTP opening is elevated by phosphorylation of GSK-3beta at Ser9, which reduces activity of this kinase. How inactivation of GSK-3beta suppresses mPTP opening has not been fully understood, but evidence to date suggests that preservation of hexokinase-II in the mPTP complex, inhibition of cyclophilin-D-ANT binding, inhibition of p53 and inhibition of ANT into the mitochondria are contributory. GSK-3beta phosphorylation is a step to which multiple protective signaling pathways converge, and thus GSK-3beta phosphorylation is crucial in cardioprotection of a variety of interventions against ischemia/reperfusion injury. Apoptosis of cardiomyocytes by pressure overload or ischemia/reperfusion is also suppressed by inactivation of GSK-3beta, in which reduced phosphorylation of p53, heat shock factor-1 and myeloid cell leukemia sequence-1 and inhibition of Bax translocation might be involved. Considering predominant roles of GSK-3beta in cardiomyocyte death, manipulation of this protein kinase is a promising strategy for myocardial protection in coronary artery disease and heart failure.

Abstract
1. Fasting, which increases the catabolism of fatty acids, gives functional protection to the ischaemic-reperfused heart. To obtain further knowledge of this cardioprotective effect, changes in mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) were measured by the entrapment of 2-deoxy-[(3)H]-glucose (2-DG). We also assessed whether MPT is associated with changes in glutathione status, the activity of glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase (G6PDH) and tissue oxidative damage, estimated by the measurement of Thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS). 2. Spontaneously beating hearts of fed and 24 h fasted rats were Langendorff perfused with Krebs'-Ringer bicarbonate solution (10 mmol/L glucose) and exposed to 25 min global ischaemia, followed by 30 min reperfusion. 3. Ischaemia-reperfusion resulted in a fourfold increase in mitochondrial entrapment of 2-DG in the fed group. This response was 29% lower in the fasted group, but there were no concomitant changes in total retention of 2-DG in the heart. Fasting increased the activity of G6PDH by a factor of 1.4 and caused a 2.8-fold increase in the ratio of reduced glutathione to oxidized glutathione (GSH:GSSG) at the end of the pre-ischaemic period. Ischaemia-reperfusion did not affect G6PDH activity, but reduced the GSH:GSSG ratio in both the fed and fasted groups by 50%. Therefore, the GSH:GSSG ratio remained higher in the fasted group. Fasting also decreased cellular levels of TBARS by approximately 25%. Lipolysis of endogenous triacylglycerol was increased during the pre-ischaemic period in the fasted group. 4. These data suggest that the enhancement of fatty acid catabolism that occurs in fasting activates mechanisms that tend to reduce oxidative damage and limit MPT.

Abstract
Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion induces mitochondrial dysfunction and, depending upon the degree of injury, may lead to cardiac cell death. However, our ability to understand mitochondrial dysfunction has been hindered by an absence of molecular markers defining the various degrees of injury. To address this paucity of knowledge, we sought to characterize the impact of ischemic damage on mitochondrial proteome biology. We hypothesized that ischemic injury induces differential alterations in various mitochondrial subcompartments, that these proteomic changes are specific to the severity of injury, and that they are important to subsequent cellular adaptations to myocardial ischemic injury. Accordingly, an in vitro model of cardiac mitochondria injury in mice was established to examine two stress conditions: reversible injury (induced by mild calcium overload) and irreversible injury (induced by hypotonic stimuli). Both forms of injury had a drastic impact on the proteome biology of cardiac mitochondria. Altered mitochondrial function was concomitant with significant protein loss/shedding from the injured organelles. In the setting of mild calcium overload, mitochondria retained functionality despite the release of numerous proteins, and the majority of mitochondria remained intact. In contrast, hypotonic stimuli caused severe damage to mitochondrial structure and function, induced increased oxidative modification of mitochondrial proteins, and brought about detrimental changes to the subproteomes of the inner mitochondrial membrane and matrix. Using an established in vivo murine model of regional myocardial ischemic injury, we validated key observations made by the in vitro model. This preclinical investigation provides function and suborganelle location information on a repertoire of cardiac mitochondrial proteins sensitive to ischemia reperfusion stress and highlights protein clusters potentially involved in mitochondrial dysfunction in the setting of ischemic injury.

Abstract
Mitochondria play essential roles in cardiac pathophysiology and the murine model has been extensively used to investigate cardiovascular diseases. In the present study, we characterized murine cardiac mitochondria using an LC/MS/MS approach. We extracted and purified cardiac mitochondria; validated their functionality to ensure the final preparation contains necessary components to sustain their normal function; and subjected these validated organelles to LC/MS/MS-based protein identification. A total of 940 distinct proteins were identified from murine cardiac mitochondria, among which, 480 proteins were not previously identified by major proteomic profiling studies. The 940 proteins consist of functional clusters known to support oxidative phosphorylation, metabolism, and biogenesis. In addition, there are several other clusters, including proteolysis, protein folding, and reduction/oxidation signaling, which ostensibly represent previously under-appreciated tasks of cardiac mitochondria. Moreover, many identified proteins were found to occupy other subcellular locations, including cytoplasm, ER, and golgi, in addition to their presence in the mitochondria. These results provide a comprehensive picture of the murine cardiac mitochondrial proteome and underscore tissue- and species-specification. Moreover, the use of functionally intact mitochondria insures that the proteomic observations in this organelle are relevant to its normal biology and facilitates decoding the interplay between mitochondria and other organelles.

Abstract
Levosimendan is a calcium sensitizer that is currently in the focus of intensive care medicine because it may be superior to standard inotropic agents in the treatment of acute myocardial insufficiency. The effects of levosimendan mainly depend on three predominant mechanisms: 1) positive inotropic effect by increasing the sensitivity of cardiac myofilaments to calcium ions, 2) vasodilatory effect by stimulation of adenosine triphosphate-sensitive potassium channels and 3) inhibition of phosphodiesterase-III. In a large number of experimental and clinical studies further possible indications for levosimendan have been described, e.g. cardioprotection during ischemia, cardiogenic shock, septic myocardial insufficiency and pulmonary hypertension. This review article critically summarizes the current scientific and clinical knowledge about levosimendan, its pharmacologic characteristics, mechanisms of action as well as indications and potential risks.

Abstract
Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury is the primary contributor to the morbidity and mortality associated with coronary artery disease. Depending on the duration of ischemia, three levels of IR-induced cardiac injury have been identified. The cellular events leading to IR-induced cellular injury are complex, but the key elements include IR-induced radical production, cellular disturbances in calcium homeostasis, and activation of cellular proteases. Moreover, growing evidence indicates that mitochondrial injury plays a major role in IR-induced injury, because mitochondria seem to be the final arbitrators of IR-induced cell death and determine whether the myocyte will die from necrosis or apoptosis. This review will provide a brief summary of our current understanding of the cellular events that contribute to IR-induced cardiac injury and cell death. Further, we will briefly introduce the concept of cardioprotection and outline several successful approaches that can induce a cardioprotective phenotype. Finally, in hopes of stimulating future research, this review will also identify important gaps in our knowledge of IR-induced myocardial injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent investigations demonstrate that anesthetic preconditioning and postconditioning reduce myocardial infarct size to a degree comparable to that achieved with ischemic preconditioning. We hypothesized that the combination of sevoflurane preconditioning and postconditioning would result in greater preservation of myocardium. METHODS Langendorff perfused rat hearts were divided into four groups: control, preconditioning, postconditioning, and preconditioning plus postconditioning. During reperfusion, left ventricular function (left ventricular developed pressure, left ventricular end diastolic pressure, and dp/dt) were measured. At the end of reperfusion, the infarct sizes were measured with 2,3,5 triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining. Nuclear magnetic resonance was used to measure intracellular pH, Na(+), and Ca(2+). RESULTS Left ventricular developed pressure, left ventricular end diastolic pressure, left ventricular dp/dt(max) and dp/dt(min) were significantly improved in the treatment groups when compared with those in the controls. Myocardial infarct size (24% +/- 7%, 16% +/- 8%, and 22% +/- 7% in preconditioning, postconditioning, and pre-plus postconditioning groups versus 44% +/- 8% in the control group, P < 0.05) and intracellular Na(+) and Ca(2+) were significantly decreased in all experimental groups at the end of reperfusion when compared with those in control. However, there were no differences between these variables in each treatment group. CONCLUSION Sevoflurane postconditioning is as effective as preconditioning in protecting myocardial function after global ischemia. The combination of sevoflurane preconditioning and postconditioning offered no additional benefit over either intervention alone.

Abstract
Autofluorescence of tissues and organs is an indicator of the physiological state of cells. The aim of the study was to investigate whether fluorimetric determination of the redox state of the ex vivo perfused pig heart can provide fast online detection of progressive changes in heart muscle tissue. Measurements on six organs perfused in a four-chamber working heart model were performed using a spectroscopic method exploiting the specific and different fluorescence lifetimes of intrinsic fluorophores such as NADH and flavins and providing a means of internal signal referencing. It was shown that the redox potential of heart muscle tissue can be assessed by fluorescence measurement. In the steady-state phase of the beating heart, spectroscopic measurements revealed a change in redox state from an initial constant level to a continuous decrease, accompanied by a decrease in heart performance and indications of changes in electrolyte equilibrium (K(+) concentration). At the same time, troponin I levels in the perfusate increased. The results indicate that fluorimetric determination of heart muscle metabolic activity yields reliable information about the functional status of the ex vivo heart and may be advantageous for the optimisation of ex vivo organ models.

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
Although the Na(+)/K(+) pump is one of the key mechanisms responsible for maintaining cell volume, we have observed experimentally that cell volume remained almost constant during 90 min exposure of guinea pig ventricular myocytes to ouabain. Simulation of this finding using a comprehensive cardiac cell model (Kyoto model incorporating Cl(-) and water fluxes) predicted roles for the plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPase (PMCA) and Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger, in addition to low membrane permeabilities for Na(+) and Cl(-), in maintaining cell volume. PMCA might help maintain the [Ca(2+)] gradient across the membrane though compromised, and thereby promote reverse Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchange stimulated by the increased [Na(+)](i) as well as the membrane depolarization. Na(+) extrusion via Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchange delayed cell swelling during Na(+)/K(+) pump block. Supporting these model predictions, we observed ventricular cell swelling after blocking Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchange with KB-R7943 or SEA0400 in the presence of ouabain. When Cl(-) conductance via the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) was activated with isoproterenol during the ouabain treatment, cells showed an initial shrinkage to 94.2 +/- 0.5%, followed by a marked swelling 52.0 +/- 4.9 min after drug application. Concomitantly with the onset of swelling, a rapid jump of membrane potential was observed. These experimental observations could be reproduced well by the model simulations. Namely, the Cl(-) efflux via CFTR accompanied by a concomitant cation efflux caused the initial volume decrease. Then, the gradual membrane depolarization induced by the Na(+)/K(+) pump block activated the window current of the L-type Ca(2+) current, which increased [Ca(2+)](i). Finally, the activation of Ca(2+)-dependent cation conductance induced the jump of membrane potential, and the rapid accumulation of intracellular Na(+) accompanied by the Cl(-) influx via CFTR, resulting in the cell swelling. The pivotal role of L-type Ca(2+) channels predicted in the simulation was demonstrated in experiments, where blocking Ca(2+) channels resulted in a much delayed cell swelling.

Abstract
Ca(2+) overload and reactive oxygen species can injure mitochondria during ischemia and reperfusion. We hypothesized that mitochondrial injury occurs during cardiac resuscitation, causing release of cytochrome c to the cytosol and bloodstream while activating apoptotic pathways. Plasma cytochrome c was measured using reverse-phase HPLC and Western immunoblotting in rats subjected to 4 or 8 min of untreated ventricular fibrillation and 8 min of closed-chest resuscitation followed by 240 min of postresuscitation hemodynamic observation. A sham group served as control. Plasma cytochrome c rose progressively to levels 10-fold higher than in sham rats 240 min after resuscitation (P < 0.01), despite reversal of whole body ischemia (decreases in arterial lactate). Cytochrome c levels were inversely correlated with left ventricular stroke work (r = -0.40, P = 0.02). Western immunoblotting of left ventricular tissue demonstrated increased levels of 17-kDa cleaved caspase-3 fragments in the cytosol. Plasma cytochrome c was then serially measured in 12 resuscitated rats until the rat died or cytochrome c returned to baseline. In three survivors, cytochrome c rose slightly to <or=2 microg/ml and returned to baseline within 96 h. In nine nonsurvivors, cytochrome c rose progressively to significantly higher maximal levels [4.6 (SD 2.0) vs. 1.6 (SD 0.3) microg/ml, P = 0.029] and at faster rates [0.7 (SD 0.5) vs. 0.1 (SD 0.1) microg.ml(-1).h(-1), P = 0.046] than in survivors. Plasma cytochrome c may represent a novel in vivo marker of mitochondrial injury after resuscitation from cardiac arrest that relates inversely with survival outcome.

Abstract
Reperfusion of the ischemic myocardium leads to a burst of reactive O(2) species (ROS), which is a primary determinant of postischemic myocardial dysfunction. We tested the hypothesis that early O(2) delivery and the cellular redox state modulate the initial myocardial ROS production at reperfusion. Isolated buffer-perfused rat hearts were loaded with the fluorophores dihydrofluorescein or Amplex red to detect intracellular and extracellular ROS formation using surface fluorometry at the left ventricular wall. Hearts were made globally ischemic for 20 min and then reperfused with either 95% or 20% O(2)-saturated perfusate. The same protocol was repeated in hearts loaded with dihydrofluorescein and perfused with either 20 or 5 mM glucose-buffered solution to determine relative changes in NADH and FAD. Myocardial O(2) delivery during the first 5 min of reperfusion was 84.7 +/- 4.2 ml O(2)/min with 20% O(2)-saturated buffer and 354.4 +/- 22.8 ml O(2)/min with 95% O(2) (n = 8/group, P < 0.001). The fluorescein signal (intracellular ROS) was significantly increased in hearts reperfused with 95% O(2) compared with 20% O(2). However, the resorufin signal (extracellular ROS) was significantly increased with 20% O(2) compared with 95% O(2) during reperfusion. Perfusion of hearts with 20 mM glucose reduced the (.)NADH during ischemia (P < 0.001) and the (.)ROS at reperfusion (P < 0.001) compared with 5.5 mM-perfused glucose hearts. In conclusion, initial O(2) delivery to the ischemic myocardium modulates a compartment-specific ROS response at reperfusion such that high O(2) delivery promotes intracellular ROS and low O(2) delivery promotes extracellular ROS. The redox state that develops during ischemia appears to be an important precursor for reperfusion ROS production.

Abstract
It has been proposed that activation of the mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium channel (mitoK(ATP)) is part of signaling pathways triggering the cardioprotection afforded by ischemic preconditioning of the heart. This work was to analyze the mitochondrial function profile of Langendorff-perfused rat hearts during the different phases of various ischemia-reperfusion protocols. Specifically, skinned fibers of ischemic preconditioned hearts exhibit a decline in the succinate-supported respiration and complex II activity during ischemia, followed by a recovery during reperfusion. Meanwhile, the apparent affinity of respiration for ADP (which reflects the matrix volume expansion) is increased during preconditioning stimulus and, to a larger extent, during prolonged ischemia. This evolution pattern is mimicked by diazoxide and abolished by 5-hydroxydecanoate. It is concluded that opening the mitoK(ATP) channel mediates the preservation of mitochondrial structure-function via a mitochondrial matrix shrinkage and a reversible inactivation of complex II during prolonged ischemic insult.

Abstract
Normal mitochondrial function is a critical factor in maintaining cellular homeostasis in various organs of the body. Due to the involvement of mitochondrial dysfunction in many pathological states, the real-time in vivo monitoring of the mitochondrial metabolic state is crucially important. This type of monitoring in animal models as well as in patients provides real-time data that can help interpret experimental results or optimize patient treatment. The goals of the present review are the following: 1) to provide an historical overview of NADH fluorescence monitoring and its physiological significance; 2) to present the solid scientific ground underlying NADH fluorescence measurements based on published materials; 3) to provide the reader with basic information on the methodologies used in the past and the current state of the art fluorometers; and 4) to clarify the various factors affecting monitored signals, including artifacts. The large numbers of publications by different groups testify to the valuable information gathered in various experimental conditions. The monitoring of NADH levels in the tissue provides the most important information on the metabolic state of the mitochondria in terms of energy production and intracellular oxygen levels. Although NADH signals are not calibrated in absolute units, their trend monitoring is important for the interpretation of physiological or pathological situations. To understand tissue function better, the multiparametric approach has been developed where NADH serves as the key parameter. The development of new light sources in UV and visible spectra has led to the development of small compact units applicable in clinical conditions for better diagnosis of patients.

Abstract
We aim at introducing a Cl- homeostasis to the cardiac ventricular cell model (Kyoto model), which includes the sarcomere shortening and the mitochondria oxidative phosphorylation. First, we examined mechanisms underlying the cell volume regulation in a simple model consisting of Na+/K+ pump, Na+-K+-2Cl- cotransporter 1 (NKCC1), cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator, volume-regulated Cl- channel and background Na+, K+ and Cl- currents. The high intracellular Cl- concentration of approximately 30 mM was achieved by the balance between the secondary active transport via NKCC1 and passive currents. Simulating responses to Na+/K+ pump inhibition revealed the essential role of Na+/K+ pump in maintaining the cellular osmolarity through creating the negative membrane potential, which extrudes Cl- from a cell, confirming the previous model study in the skeletal muscle. In addition, this model well reproduced the experimental data such as the responses to hypotonic shock in the presence or absence of beta-adrenergic stimulation. Finally, the volume regulation via Cl- homeostasis was successfully incorporated to the Kyoto model. The steady state was well established in the comprehensive cell model in respect to both the intracellular ion concentrations and the shape of the action potential, which are all in the physiological range. The source code of the model, which can reproduce every result, is available from http://www.sim-bio.org/.

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
The contribution of intracellular stores to axonal Ca2+ overload during chemical ischemia in vitro was examined by confocal microscopy. Ca2+ accumulation was measured by fluo-4 dextran (low-affinity dye, KD approximately 4 microM) or by Oregon Green 488 BAPTA-1 dextran (highaffinity dye, KD approximately 450 nM). Axonal Na+ was measured using CoroNa Green. Ischemia in CSF containing 2 mM Ca2+ caused an approximately 3.5-fold increase in fluo-4 emission after 30 min, indicating a large axonal Ca2+ rise well into the micromolar range. Axonal Na+ accumulation was enhanced by veratridine and reduced, but not abolished, by TTX. Ischemia in Ca2+-free (plus BAPTA) perfusate resulted in a smaller but consistent Ca2+ increase monitored by Oregon Green 488 BAPTA-1, indicating release from intracellular sources. This release was eliminated in large part when Na+ influx was reduced by replacement with N-methyl-D-glucamine (NMDG+; even in depolarizing high K+ perfusate), Li+, or by the application of TTX and significantly increased by veratridine. Intracellular release also was reduced significantly by neomycin or 1-(6-[(17beta-methoxyestra-1,3,5 [10]-trien-17-yl) amino] hexyl)-1H-pyrrole-2,5-dione (U73122 [GenBank]) (phospholipase C inhibitors), heparin [inositol trisphosphate (IP3) receptor blocker], or 7-chloro-5-(2-chlorophenyl)-1,5-dihydro-4,1-benzothiazepin-2(3H)-one (CGP37157; mitochondrial Na+/Ca2+ exchange inhibitor) as well as ryanodine. Combining CGP37157 with U73122 [GenBank] or heparin decreased the response more than either agent alone and significantly improved electrophysiological recovery. Our conclusion is that intra-axonal Ca2+ release during ischemia in rat optic nerve is mainly dependent on Na+ influx. This Na+ accumulation stimulates three distinct intra-axonal sources of Ca2+: (1) the mitochondrial Na+/Ca2+ exchanger driven in the Na+ import/Ca2+ export mode, (2) positive modulation of ryanodine receptors, and (3) promotion of IP3 generation by phospholipase C.

Abstract
Heart tissue is remarkably sensitive to oxygen deprivation. Although heart cells, like those of most tissues, rapidly adapt to anoxic conditions, relatively short periods of ischaemia and subsequent reperfusion lead to extensive tissue death during cardiac infarction. Heart tissue is not readily regenerated, and permanent heart damage is the result. Although mitochondria maintain normal heart function by providing virtually all of the heart's ATP, they are also implicated in the development of ischaemic damage. While mitochondria do provide some mechanisms that protect against ischaemic damage (such as an endogenous inhibitor of the F1Fo-ATPase and antioxidant enzymes), they also possess a range of elements that exacerbate it, including ROS (reactive oxygen species) generators, the mitochondrial permeability transition pore, and their ability to release apoptotic factors. This review considers the process of ischaemic damage from a mitochondrial viewpoint. It considers ischaemic changes in the inner membrane complexes I-V, and how this might affect formation of ROS and high-energy phosphate production/degradation. We discuss the contribution of various mitochondrial cation channels to ionic imbalances which seem to be a major cause of reperfusion injury. The different roles of the H+, Ca2+ and the various K+ channel transporters are considered, particularly the K+(ATP) (ATP-dependent K+) channels. A possible role for the mitochondrial permeability transition pore in ischaemic damage is assessed. Finally, we summarize the metabolic and pharmacological interventions that have been used to alleviate the effects of ischaemic injury, highlighting the value of these or related interventions in possible therapeutics.

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
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) contribute to cell damage during reperfusion of the heart. ROS may exert their effects partly by interfering with Ca(2+) homeostasis of the myocardium. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) on Ca(2+) accumulation during reoxygenation of isolated adult rat cardiomyocytes exposed to 1 h of hypoxia and to relate the effects to possible changes in release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), free intracellular Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](i)) and Mg(2+)([Mg(2+)](i)), and mitochondrial membrane potential (Deltapsim). Cell Ca(2+) was determined by (45)Ca(2+) uptake. Free [Mg(2+)](i) and [Ca(2+)](i) and Deltapsim were measured by flow cytometry. Reoxygenation-induced Ca(2+) accumulation was attenuated by 23 and 34% by 10 and 25 microM H(2)O(2), respectively, added at reoxygenation. H(2)O(2) at 100 and 250 microM increased cell Ca(2+) by 50 and 83%, respectively, whereas 500 microM H(2)O(2) decreased cell Ca(2+) by 20%. H(2)O(2) at (25 microM) reduced LDH release and [Mg(2+)](i) and increased Deltapsim, indicating cell protection, whereas 250 microM H(2)O(2) increased LDH release and [Mg(2+)](i) and decreased Deltapsim, indicating cell damage. Clonazepam (100 microM) attenuated the increase in Ca(2+) accumulation, the elevation of [Ca(2+)](i), and the decrease in Deltapsim induced by 100 and 250 microM H(2)O(2) during reoxygenation. We report for the first time that 25 microM H(2)O(2) attenuates Ca(2+) accumulation, LDH release, and dissipation of Deltapsim during reoxygenation of hypoxic cardiomyocytes, indicating cell protection.

Abstract
Negative inotropic agents may differentially modulate indexes of cytosolic [Ca(2+)]-left ventricular (LV) pressure (LVP) relationships when given before and after ischemia. We measured and calculated [Ca(2+)], LVP, velocity ratios [[(d[Ca(2+)]/dt(max))/(dLVP/dt(max)); VR(max)] and [(d[Ca(2+)]/dt(min))/(dLVP/dt(min)); VR(min)]], and area ratio (AR; area [Ca(2+)]/area LVP per beat) before and after global ischemia in guinea pig isolated hearts. Ca(2+) transients were recorded by indo 1-AM fluorescence via a fiberoptic probe placed at the LV free wall. [Ca(2+)]-LVP loops were acquired by plotting LVP as a function of [Ca(2+)] at multiple time points during the cardiac cycle. Hearts were perfused with bimakalim, 2,3-butanedione monoxime (BDM), nifedipine, or lidocaine before and after 30 min of ischemia. Before ischemia, each drug depressed LVP, but only nifedipine decreased both LVP and [Ca(2+)] with a downward and leftward shift of the [Ca(2+)]-LVP loop. After ischemia, each drug depressed LVP and [Ca(2+)] with a downward and leftward shift of the [Ca(2+)]-LVP loop. Each drug except BDM decreased d[Ca(2+)]/dt(max); nifedipine decreased d[Ca(2+)]/dt(min), whereas lidocaine increased it, and bimakalim and BDM had no effect on d[Ca(2+)]/dt(min). Each drug except bimakalim increased VR(max) and VR(min) before ischemia; after ischemia, only BDM and nifedipine increased VR(max) and VR(min). Before and after ischemia, BDM and nifedipine increased AR, whereas lidocaine and bimakalim had no effect. At 30 min of reperfusion, control hearts exhibited marked Ca(2+) overload and depressed LVP. In each drug-pretreated group Ca(2+) overload was reduced on reperfusion, but only the group pretreated with nifedipine exhibited both higher LVP and lower [Ca(2+)]. These results show that negative inotropic drugs are less capable of reducing [Ca(2+)] after ischemia so that there is a relatively larger Ca(2+) expenditure for contraction/relaxation after ischemia than before ischemia. Moreover, the differential effects of pretreatment with negative inotropic drugs on [Ca(2+)]-LVP relationships after ischemia suggest that these drugs, especially nifedipine, can elicit cardiac preconditioning.

Abstract
The degree of myocardial oxygen delivery (Do2) that is necessary to reestablish functional contractile activity after short-term global ischemia in heart is not known. To determine the relationship between Do2 and recovery of contractile and metabolic functions, we used tissue NADH fluorometric changes to characterize adequacy of reperfusion flow. Isolated perfused rat hearts were subjected to global ischemia and were reperfused at variable flow rates that ranged from 1 to 100% of baseline flow. Myocardial function and tissue NADH changes were continuously measured. NADH fluorescence rapidly increased and plateaued during ischemia. A strong inverse logarithmic correlation between NADH fluorescence and reperfusion Do2 was demonstrated (r = -0.952). Left ventricular function (rate-pressure product) was inversely related to NADH fluorescence at reperfusion flows from 25 to 100% of baseline (r = -0.922) but not at lower reperfusion flow levels. An apparent reperfusion threshold of 25% of baseline Do2 was necessary to resume contractile function. At very low reperfusion flows (1% of baseline), another threshold flow was identified at which NADH levels increased beyond that observed during global ischemia (3.4 +/- 3.0%, means +/- SE, n = 9), which suggests further reduction of the cellular redox state. This NADH increase at 1% of baseline reperfusion flow was blocked by removing glucose from the perfusate. NADH fluorescence is a sensitive indicator of myocardial cellular oxygen utilization over a wide range of reperfusion Do2 values. Although oxygen is utilized at very low flow rates, as indicated by changes in NADH, a critical threshold of approximately 25% of baseline Do2 is necessary to restore contractile function after short-term global ischemia.

Abstract
There is substantial evidence that oxidative stress participates in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease. Biochemical, molecular and pharmacological studies further implicate xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) as a source of reactive oxygen species in the cardiovascular system. XOR is a member of the molybdoenzyme family and is best known for its catalytic role in purine degradation, metabolizing hypoxanthine and xanthine to uric acid with concomitant generation of superoxide. Gene expression of XOR is regulated by oxygen tension, cytokines and glucocorticoids. XOR requires molybdopterin, iron-sulphur centres, and FAD as cofactors and has two interconvertible forms, xanthine oxidase and xanthine dehydrogenase, which transfer electrons from xanthine to oxygen and NAD(+), respectively, yielding superoxide, hydrogen peroxide and NADH. Additionally, XOR can generate superoxide via NADH oxidase activity and can produce nitric oxide via nitrate and nitrite reductase activities. While a role for XOR beyond purine metabolism was first suggested in ischaemia-reperfusion injury, there is growing awareness that it also participates in endothelial dysfunction, hypertension and heart failure. Importantly, the XOR inhibitors allopurinol and oxypurinol attenuate dysfunction caused by XOR in these disease states. Attention to the broader range of XOR bioactivity in the cardiovascular system has prompted initiation of several randomised clinical outcome trials, particularly for congestive heart failure. Here we review XOR gene structure and regulation, protein structure, enzymology, tissue distribution and pathophysiological role in cardiovascular disease with an emphasis on heart failure.

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)(-).
