Abstract
Mitochondrial calcium (Ca2+) signals play a central role in cardiac homeostasis and disease. In the healthy heart, mitochondrial Ca2+ levels modulate the rate of oxidative metabolism to match the rate of adenosine triphosphate consumption in the cytosol. During ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, pathologically high levels of Ca2+ in the mitochondrial matrix trigger the opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore, which releases solutes and small proteins from the matrix, causing mitochondrial swelling and ultimately leading to cell death. Pharmacological and genetic approaches to tune mitochondrial Ca2+ handling by regulating the activity of the main Ca2+ influx and efflux pathways, i.e., the mitochondrial Ca2+ uniporter and sodium/Ca2+ exchanger, represent promising therapeutic strategies to protect the heart from I/R injury.

Schöneburg C, Seyram Amevor B, Bauer T, Boateng I, Nsia-Tawia B, Öztürk N, Pop MA, Müller J. Immediate Increase in the Root Mean Square of Successive Differences after Three Bouts of Remote Ischemic Preconditioning: A Randomized Controlled Trial. J Cardiovasc Dev Dis 2024; 11:193. [PMID: 39057615 PMCID: PMC11277232 DOI: 10.3390/jcdd11070193] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2024] [Revised: 06/19/2024] [Accepted: 06/22/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) is an intervention involving the application of brief episodes of ischemia and reperfusion to distant tissues to activate protective pathways in the heart. There is evidence suggesting the involvement of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) in RIPC-induced cardioprotection. This study aimed to investigate the immediate effects of RIPC on the ANS using a randomized controlled trial. (2) Methods: From March 2018 to November 2018, we conducted a single-blinded randomized controlled study involving 51 healthy volunteers (29 female, 24.9 [23.8, 26.4] years). Participants were placed in a supine position and heart rate variability was measured over 260 consecutive beats before they were randomized into either the intervention or the SHAM group. The intervention group underwent an RIPC protocol (3 cycles of 5 min of 200 mmHg ischemia followed by 5 min reperfusion) at the upper thigh. The SHAM group followed the same protocol but on the right upper arm, with just 40 mmHg of pressure inflation, resulting in no ischemic stimulus. Heart rate variability measures were reassessed afterward. (3) Results: The intervention group showed a significant increase in RMSSD, the possible marker of the parasympathetic nervous system (IG: 14.5 [5.4, 27.5] ms vs. CG: 7.0 [-4.3, 23.1 ms], p = 0.027), as well as a significant improvement in Alpha 1 levels compared to the control group (IG: -0.1 [-0.2, 0.1] vs. CG: 0.0 [-0.1, 0.2], p = 0.001). (4) Conclusions: Our results hint that RIPC increases the RMSSD and Alpha 1 parameters showing possible immediate parasympathetic modulations. RIPC could be favorable in promoting cardioprotective or/and cardiovascular effects by ameliorating ANS modulations.

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

Remote ischemic conditioning may improve graft function following kidney transplantation: a systematic review and meta-analysis with trial sequential analysis. BMC Anesthesiol 2024; 24:168. [PMID: 38702625 PMCID: PMC11067269 DOI: 10.1186/s12871-024-02549-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2024] [Accepted: 04/26/2024] [Indexed: 05/06/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) has the potential to benefit graft function following kidney transplantation by reducing ischemia-reperfusion injury; however, the current clinical evidence is inconclusive. This meta-analysis with trial sequential analysis (TSA) aimed to determine whether RIC improves graft function after kidney transplantation. METHODS A comprehensive search was conducted on PubMed, Cochrane Library, and EMBASE databases until June 20, 2023, to identify all randomized controlled trials that examined the impact of RIC on graft function after kidney transplantation. The primary outcome was the incidence of delayed graft function (DGF) post-kidney transplantation. The secondary outcomes included the incidence of acute rejection, graft loss, 3- and 12-month estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFR), and the length of hospital stay. Subgroup analyses were conducted based on RIC procedures (preconditioning, perconditioning, or postconditioning), implementation sites (upper or lower extremity), and graft source (living or deceased donor). RESULTS Our meta-analysis included eight trials involving 1038 patients. Compared with the control, RIC did not significantly reduce the incidence of DGF (8.8% vs. 15.3%; risk ratio = 0.76, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.48-1.21, P = 0.25, I2 = 16%), and TSA results showed that the required information size was not reached. However, the RIC group had a significantly increased eGFR at 3 months after transplantation (mean difference = 2.74 ml/min/1.73 m2, 95% CI: 1.44-4.05 ml/min/1.73 m2, P < 0.0001, I2 = 0%), with a sufficient evidence suggested by TSA. The secondary outcomes were comparable between the other secondary outcomes. The treatment effect of RIC did not differ between the subgroup analyses. CONCLUSION In this meta-analysis with trial sequential analysis, RIC did not lead to a significant reduction in the incidence of DGF after kidney transplantation. Nonetheless, RIC demonstrated a positive correlation with 3-month eGFR. Given the limited number of patients included in this study, well-designed clinical trials with large sample sizes are required to validate the renoprotective benefits of RIC. TRIAL REGISTRATION This systematic review and meta-analysis was registered at the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (Number CRD42023464447).

Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the leading cause of cardiovascular death and remains the most common cause of heart failure. Reopening of the occluded artery, i.e., reperfusion, is the only way to save the myocardium. However, the expected benefits of reducing infarct size are disappointing due to the reperfusion paradox, which also induces specific cell death. These ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) lesions can account for up to 50% of final infarct size, a major determinant for both mortality and the risk of heart failure (morbidity). In this review, we provide a detailed description of the cell death and inflammation mechanisms as features of I/R injury and cardioprotective strategies such as ischemic postconditioning as well as their underlying mechanisms. Due to their biological properties, the use of mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) has been considered a potential therapeutic approach in AMI. Despite promising results and evidence of safety in preclinical studies using MSCs, the effects reported in clinical trials are not conclusive and even inconsistent. These discrepancies were attributed to many parameters such as donor age, in vitro culture, and storage time as well as injection time window after AMI, which alter MSC therapeutic properties. In the context of AMI, future directions will be to generate MSCs with enhanced properties to limit cell death in myocardial tissue and thereby reduce infarct size and improve the healing phase to increase postinfarct myocardial performance.

Abstract
Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) is the application of brief periods of ischemia to an organ or tissue with the aim of inducing protection from ischemia in a distant organ. It was first developed as a cardioprotective strategy but has been increasingly investigated as a neuroprotective intervention. The mechanisms by which RIC achieves neuroprotection are incompletely understood. Preclinical studies focus on the hypothesis that RIC can protect the brain from ischemia reperfusion (IR) injury following the restoration of blood flow after occlusion of a large cerebral artery. However, increasingly, a role of chronic RIC (CRIC) is being investigated as a means of promoting recovery following an ischemic insult to the brain. The recent publication of two large, randomized control trials has provided promise that RIC could improve functional outcomes after acute ischemic stroke, and that there may be a role for CRIC in the prevention of recurrent stroke. Although less developed, there is also proof-of-concept to suggest that RIC may be used to reduce vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage or improve cognitive outcomes in vascular dementia. As a cheap, well-tolerated and almost universally applicable intervention, the motivation for investigating possible benefit of RIC in patients with cerebrovascular disease is great. In this review, we shall review the current evidence for RIC as applied to cerebrovascular disease.

Abstract
Objectives. Paraplegia is devastating complication associated with thoracic and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair. Vast evidence has been gathered on pre-, peri- and postoperative protective adjuncts aiming to minimize spinal cord ischemia. This review focuses on the pretreatment phase of open surgical or endovascular aortic procedures and gathers the experimental data on the interventional preconditioning and priming methods that increase the spinal cord ischemic tolerance. Design. By the start of March 2021, a systematic review was performed in PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science core collection to identify the articles that reported (i) either an ischemic preconditioning, remote ischemic preconditioning or priming method prior to (ii) experimental spinal cord ischemia performed in endovascular or open surgical fashion mimicking either thoracic, abdominal or thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm procedures. (iii) The outcomes were reported via neurological, motor-evoked potential, somatosensory-evoked potential, histopathological, immunohistochemical, physiological analysis, or in different combinations of these measurements. Results. The search yielded 7802 articles, and 57 articles were included in the systematic review. The articles were assessed by the evaluated species, the utilized pretreatment, the measured protective effects, and the suggested underlying mechanisms. Conclusions. The reviewed articles showed several possible mechanisms in ischemic and remote ischemic preconditioning for prevention of spinal cord ischemia. The main suggested method for priming was arteriogenetic stimulus. Future studies should confirm these hints of arteriogenetic stimulus with more precise quantification of the protective recruitment process.

Abstract
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a devastating intestinal inflammatory disorder, most prevalent in premature infants, and associated with a high mortality rate that has remained unchanged in the past two decades. NEC is characterized by inflammation, ischemia, and impaired microcirculation in the intestine. Preclinical studies by our group have led to the discovery of remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) as a promising non-invasive intervention in protecting the intestine against ischemia-induced damage during early-stage NEC. RIC involves the administration of brief reversible cycles of ischemia and reperfusion in a limb (similar to taking standard blood pressure measurement) which activate endogenous protective signaling pathways that are conveyed to distant organs such as the intestine. RIC targets the intestinal microcirculation and by improving blood flow to the intestine, reduces the intestinal damage of experimental NEC and prolongs survival. A recent Phase I safety study by our group demonstrated that RIC was safe in preterm infants with NEC. A phase II feasibility randomized controlled trial involving 12 centers in 6 countries is currently underway, to investigate the feasibility of RIC as a treatment for early-stage NEC in preterm neonates. This review provides a brief background on RIC as a therapeutic strategy and summarizes the progression of RIC as a treatment for NEC from preclinical investigation to clinical evaluation.

Abstract
Background Anthracycline cardiotoxicity is a concern in survivors of childhood cancers. Recent evidence suggests that remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) may offer myocardial protection. Objectives This randomized sham-controlled single-blind study tested the hypothesis that RIC may reduce myocardial injury in pediatric cancer patients receiving anthracycline chemotherapy. Methods We performed a phase 2 sham-controlled single-blind randomized controlled trial to determine the impact of RIC on myocardial injury in pediatric cancer patients receiving anthracycline-based chemotherapy. Patients were randomized to receive RIC (3 cycles of 5-minute inflation of a blood pressure cuff placed over 1 limb to 15 mm Hg above systolic pressure) or sham intervention. The intervention was applied within 60 minutes before initiation of the first dose and before up to 4 cycles of anthracycline therapy. The primary outcome was the plasma high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) level. The secondary outcome measures included echocardiographic indexes of left ventricular systolic and diastolic function and the occurrence of cardiovascular events. Results A total of 68 children 10.9 ± 3.9 years of age were randomized to receive RIC (n = 34) or sham (n = 34) intervention. Plasma levels of hs-cTnT showed a progressive increase across time points in the RIC (P < 0.001) and sham (P < 0.001) groups. At each of the time points, there were no significant differences in hs-cTnT levels or LV tissue Doppler and strain parameters between the 2 groups (all P > 0.05). None of the patients developed heart failure or cardiac arrhythmias. Conclusions RIC did not exhibit cardioprotective effects in childhood cancer patients receiving anthracycline-based chemotherapy.

Abstract
Atherosclerotic renovascular disease (RVD) leads to hypertension, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and heart disease. Intrarenal delivery of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and MSC-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) attenuate renal injury and suppress release of inflammatory cytokines in porcine RVD. We hypothesized that this strategy would also be useful for cardioprotection. Pigs with renovascular hypertension and metabolic syndrome were studied 4 weeks after treatment with a single intrarenal infusion of autologous MSCs, EVs, or vehicle. Cardiac structure and function were assessed in vivo, and myocardial remodeling and expression of the pro-fibrotic factor growth factor receptor-bound protein-2 (Grb2) were measured ex-vivo. Inflammatory cytokine levels were measured in the systemic circulation and myocardial tissue. Blood pressure was elevated in all RVD groups, but serum creatinine increased in RVD and decreased in both RVD + MSCs and RVD + EVs. RVD-induced diastolic dysfunction (lower E/A ratio) was normalized in both MSCs- and EVs- treated pigs. Intrarenal delivery of MSCs and EVs also attenuated RVD-induced myocardial fibrosis, collagen deposition, and Grb2 expression, yet EVs restored capillary density and inflammation more effectively than MSCs. These observations suggest that autologous EVs attenuate cardiac injury in experimental RVD more effectively than their parent MSCs.

Abstract
Oxygen deprivation can be detrimental. However, chronic hypoxia is also associated with decreased incidence of metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease in high-altitude populations. Previously, hypoxic fuel rewiring has primarily been studied in immortalized cells. Here, we describe how systemic hypoxia rewires fuel metabolism to optimize whole-body adaptation. Acclimatization to hypoxia coincided with dramatically lower blood glucose and adiposity. Using in vivo fuel uptake and flux measurements, we found that organs partitioned fuels differently during hypoxia adaption. Acutely, most organs increased glucose uptake and suppressed aerobic glucose oxidation, consistent with previous in vitro investigations. In contrast, brown adipose tissue and skeletal muscle became "glucose savers," suppressing glucose uptake by 3-5-fold. Interestingly, chronic hypoxia produced distinct patterns: the heart relied increasingly on glucose oxidation, and unexpectedly, the brain, kidney, and liver increased fatty acid uptake and oxidation. Hypoxia-induced metabolic plasticity carries therapeutic implications for chronic metabolic diseases and acute hypoxic injuries.

Abstract
Purpose Limb remote ischemic conditioning (LRIC) may be an effective method to control hypertension. This study investigated whether LRIC decreases blood pressure by regulating the hypertensive inflammatory response in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). Method The SHR and aged-matched Wistar rats with different ages were randomly assigned to the SHR group, SHR+LRIC group, Wistar group, and Wistar + LRIC group. LRIC was conducted by tightening a tourniquet around the upper thigh and releasing it for three cycles daily (10 mins x3 cycles). Blood pressure, the percentage of monocytes and T lymphocytes, and the concentration of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the blood were analyzed. Results The blood pressure of SHR was significantly higher than that of age-matched Wistar rats. LRIC decreased blood pressure in SHR at different ages (4, 8, and 16 weeks old), but had no effect on the blood pressure in Wistar rats. Flow cytometry analysis showed that blood monocytes and CD8 T cells of SHR were higher than those of Wistar rats. LRIC significantly decreased the percentage of monocytes and CD8 T cells in SHR. Consistent with the changes of immune cells, the levels of plasma IL-6 and TNF-α in SHR were also higher. And LRIC attenuated the plasma IL-6 and TNF-α levels in SHR. Conclusion LRIC may decreased the blood pressure via modulation of the inflammatory response in SHR.

Abstract
Ischemic pre-conditioning has been shown to protect hearts against ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced cardiac injury. However, it is not feasible in clinic. Many researchers have tried to introduce brief I/R in skeletal muscle to mimic cardiac ischemic pre-conditioning, called remote ischemia pre-conditioning (RIPC). Studies from our group and other groups have shown that RIPC induces the release of cytokines from skeletal muscle (myokines) for tissue protection. Myokines play a central role in repair, inflammatory, and immune responses after injury. Thus, the detailed protocol for RIPC might be useful for researchers to study mechanisms underlying RIPC-mediated tissue protection and crosstalk. Here, we describe a detailed RIPC protocol and show MG53 secretion after RIPC into the blood.

Abstract
Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) has been reported to augment exercise performance, but there is considerable heterogeneity in the magnitude and frequency of performance improvements. Despite a burgeoning interest in IPC as an ergogenic aid, much is still unknown about the physiological mechanisms that mediate the observed performance enhancing effects. This narrative review collates those physiological responses to IPC reported in the IPC literature and discusses how these responses may contribute to the ergogenic effects of IPC. Specifically, this review discusses documented central and peripheral cardiovascular responses, as well as selected metabolic, neurological, and perceptual effects of IPC that have been reported in the literature.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The effect of remote pre- and postconditioning on anastomotic healing has been sparsely studied. The aim of our study was to investigate whether remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) applied before and after the creation of a small bowel anastomosis had an effect on anastomotic healing on postoperative day five evaluated by a tensile strength test and histological analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-two female piglets were randomized into two groups. The intervention group (n = 12) received RIC on the forelimbs consisting of 15 min of ischemia followed by 30 min of reperfusion before the first end-to-end ileal anastomosis was created. The RIC procedure was repeated and the second and more distal anastomosis was performed. The control group (n = 10) had two similar anastomoses with similar time intervals but without RIC. On postoperative day five, the anastomoses were subjected to macroscopic evaluation, tensile strength test and histological examination. RESULTS Mean tensile strength when the first transmural rupture appeared (MATS-2) was significantly lower in the first anastomosis in the intervention group compared to the control group (11.4 N vs 14.7 N, p < .05). Similar result was found by the maximal strength (MATS-3) as defined by a drop in the load curve (12.3 N vs 15.9 N, p < .05). Histologically, a significantly higher necrosis score was found in the anastomosis in the intervention group (1.4 vs 0.8, p < .05). No other significant differences were found. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, post-anastomotic remote ischemic conditioning had a detrimental effect and pre-anastomotic conditioning seems to have no effect on small intestinal anastomotic strength.

Abstract
Remote ischaemic preconditioning (RIPC), induced by intermittent periods of limb ischaemia and reperfusion, confers cardiac and vascular protection from subsequent ischaemia–reperfusion (IR) injury. Early animal studies reliably demonstrate that RIPC attenuated infarct size and preserved cardiac tissue. However, translating these adaptations to clinical practice in humans has been challenging. Large clinical studies have found inconsistent results with respect to RIPC eliciting IR injury protection or improving clinical outcomes. Follow‐up studies have implicated several factors that potentially affect the efficacy of RIPC in humans such as age, fitness, frequency, disease state and interactions with medications. Thus, realizing the clinical potential for RIPC may require a human experimental model where confounding factors are more effectively controlled and underlying mechanisms can be further elucidated. In this review, we highlight recent experimental findings in the peripheral circulation that have added valuable insight on the mechanisms and clinical benefit of RIPC in humans. Central to this discussion is the critical role of timing (i.e. immediate vs. delayed effects following a single bout of RIPC) and the frequency of RIPC. Limited evidence in humans has demonstrated that repeated bouts of RIPC over several days uniquely improves vascular function beyond that observed with a single bout alone. Since changes in resistance vessel and microvascular function often precede symptoms and diagnosis of cardiovascular disease, repeated bouts of RIPC may be promising as a preclinical intervention to prevent or delay cardiovascular disease progression.

Abstract
Sympathetic nerve denervation after myocardial infarction (MI) predicts risk of sudden cardiac death. Therefore, therapeutic approaches limit infarct size, improving adverse remodeling and restores sympathetic innervation have a great clinical potential. Remote ischemic perconditioning (RIPerc) could markedly attenuate MI-reperfusion (MIR) injury. In this study, we aimed to assess its effects on cardiac sympathetic innervation and metabolism. Transient myocardial ischemia is induced by ligature of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) in male Sprague-Dawley rats, and in vivo cardiac 2-[18F]FDG and [11C]mHED PET scans were performed at 14-15 days after ischemia. RIPerc was induced by three cycles of 5-min-long unilateral hind limb ischemia and intermittent 5 min of reperfusion during LAD occlusion period. The PET quantitative parameters were quantified in parametric polar maps. This standardized format facilitates the regional radioactive quantification in deficit regions to remote areas. The ex vivo radionuclide distribution was additionally identified using autoradiography. Myocardial neuron density (tyrosine hydroxylase positive staining) and chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPG, inhibiting neuron regeneration) expression were assessed by immunohistochemistry. There was no significant difference in the mean hypometabolism 2-[18F]FDG uptake ratio (44.6 ± 4.8% vs. 45.4 ± 4.4%) between MIR rats and MIR + RIPerc rats (P > 0.05). However, the mean [11C]mHED nervous activity of denervated myocardium was significantly elevated in MIR + RIPerc rats compared to the MIR rats (35.9 ± 7.1% vs. 28.9 ± 2.3%, P < 0.05), coupled with reduced denervated myocardium area (19.5 ± 5.3% vs. 27.8 ± 6.6%, P < 0.05), which were associated with preserved left-ventricular systolic function, a less reduction in neuron density, and a significant reduction in CSPG and CD68 expression in the myocardium. RIPerc presented a positive effect on cardiac sympathetic-nerve innervation following ischemia, but showed no significant effect on myocardial metabolism.

Abstract
Background: Remote ischemic pre-conditioning (RIPC) alleviated the myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, yet the underlying mechanisms remain to be fully elucidated, especially at the late phase. Searching a key component as a transfer carrier may provide a novel insight into RIPC-mediated cardioprotection in the condition of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion. Objective: To investigate the cardioprotective effect of plasma exosomes at the late phase of RIPC and its potential signaling pathways involved. Methods and Results: Exosomes were isolated from the plasma of rats 48 h after the RIPC or control protocol. Although the total plasma exosomes level had no significant change at the late phase of RIPC (RIPC-exosome) compared with the control exosomes (Control-exosome), the RIPC-exosome afforded remarkable protection against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (MI/R) injury in rats and hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R) injury in cells. The miRNA array revealed significant enrichment of miR-126a-3p in RIPC-exosome. Importantly, both miR-126a-3p inhibitor and antagonist significantly blunted the cardioprotection of RIPC-exosome in H/R cells and MI/R rats, respectively, while miR-126a-3p mimic and agomir showed significant cardioprotection against H/R injury in cells and MI/R injury in rats. Mechanistically, RIPC-exosome, especially exosomal miR-126a-3p, activated the reperfusion injury salvage kinase (RISK) pathway by enhancing the phosphorylation of Akt and Erk1/2, and simultaneously inhibited Caspase-3 mediated apoptotic signaling. Conclusions: Our findings reveal a novel myocardial protective mechanism that plasma exosomes at the late phase of RIPC attenuate myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury via exosomal miR-126a-3p.

HIF-1α mediates the protective effect of plasma extracellular particles induced by remote ischaemic preconditioning on oxidative stress injury in human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Exp Ther Med 2021; 23:48.

Abstract
Remote ischaemic preconditioning (RIPC) is considered to alleviate myocardial ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. The present study explored whether blood plasma particulate matter, which is termed extracellular particles (EPs), and is released from cells during RIPC, could reduce H2O2-induced damage in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Firstly, EPs were derived from volunteers who did or did not undergo RIPC. To induce RIPC in volunteers, a blood pressure cuff was alternatively inflated for 5 min and deflated for the same duration for four successive cycles. HUVECs were assigned to two groups: i) Group 1 was preincubated for 24 h with EPs from volunteers after sham-RIPC, then treated with H2O2 (1 mM; 6 h) to mimic the in vivo conditions of I/R-induced oxidative stress; and ii) group 2 was preincubated for 24 h with EPs from volunteers after RIPC, then treated with H2O2. Subsequently, EPs were derived from rats received sham-RIPC or RIPC and/or cadmium (Cd) pre-treatment. To induce RIPC in rats, a remote hind limb preconditioning stimulus was delivered using a blood pressure cuff attached at the inguinal level of the rat. The blood pressure cuff was alternatively inflated for 5 min and deflated for the same time period for four successive cycles. HUVECs were assigned to six groups: i) Group 1 was untreated; ii) group 2 received only H2O2 treatment (1 mM; 6 h); iii) group 3 was preincubated for 24 h with EPs from rats exposed to sham-RIPC, then treated with H2O2; iv) group 4 was preincubated for 24 h with EPs from rats that received an intraperitoneal injection of 1 mg/kg Cd [a pharmacological inhibitor of hypoxia-inducible factor 1-α (HIF-1α) in vivo] 180 min before sham-RIPC, then treated with H2O2; v) group 5 was preincubated for 24 h with EPs from rats exposed to RIPC, then treated with H2O2; and vi) group 6 was preincubated for 24 h with EPs from rats that received an intraperitoneal injection of 1 mg/kg Cd 180 min before RIPC, then treated with H2O2. Cell viability and cytotoxicity were monitored using Cell Counting Kit-8 and lactate dehydrogenase assays. Cell apoptosis and necrosis were assessed via flow cytometry and western blot analysis. A notable increase in EP concentration in the plasma of volunteers after RIPC compared with that in the plasma of volunteers after sham-RIPC was observed. RIPC-associated EPs (RIPC-EPs) from volunteers could improve cell viability and reduce cytotoxicity, cell apoptosis and necrosis in HUVECs treated with H2O2in vitro. Furthermore, RIPC caused a significant increase in HIF-1α expression in the rat limb musculature. The apoptosis-reducing effect of RIPC-EPs was demonstrated to be counteracted by an intraperitoneal injection of Cd before RIPC in rats. A significant decrease in the EP levels precipitated from the plasma of rats that received Cd treatment before RIPC was observed compared with rats that did not receive Cd treatment. The present study suggested that HIF-1α mediated at least partly the protective effect of plasma RIPC-EPs on oxidative stress injury in HUVECs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Results from previous studies evaluating the effects of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) on morbidity and mortality after cardiac surgery are inconsistent. This meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) aims to determine whether RIPC improves cardiac and renal outcomes in adults undergoing cardiac surgery. METHODS PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library were comprehensively searched to identify RCTs comparing RIPC with control in cardiac surgery. The coprimary outcomes were the incidence of postoperative myocardial infarction (MI) and the incidence of postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI). Meta-analyses were performed using a random-effect model. Subgroup analyses were conducted according to volatile only anesthesia versus propofol anesthesia with or without volatiles, high-risk patients versus non-high-risk patients, and Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN) or Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria versus other criteria for AKI diagnosis. RESULTS A total of 79 RCTs with 10,814 patients were included. While the incidence of postoperative MI did not differ between the RIPC and control groups (8.2% vs 9.7%; risk ratio [RR] = 0.87, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.76-1.01, P = .07, I2 = 0%), RIPC significantly reduced the incidence of postoperative AKI (22% vs 24.4%; RR = 0.86, 95% CI, 0.77-0.97, P = .01, I2 = 34%). The subgroup analyses showed that RIPC was associated with a reduced incidence of MI in non-high-risk patients, and that RIPC was associated with a reduced incidence of AKI in volatile only anesthesia, in non-high-risk patients, and in the studies using AKIN or KDIGO criteria for AKI diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis demonstrates that RIPC reduces the incidence of AKI after cardiac surgery. This renoprotective effect of RIPC is mainly evident during volatile only anesthesia, in non-high-risk patients, and when AKIN or KDIGO criteria used for AKI diagnosis.

Abstract
Complete vascular occlusion to distant tissue prior to an ischemic cardiac event can provide significant cardioprotection via remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC). Despite understanding its mechanistic basis, its translation to clinical practice has been unsuccessful, likely secondary to the inherent impossibility of predicting (and therefore preconditioning) an ischemic event, as well as the discomfort that is associated with traditional, fully occlusive RIPC stimuli. Our laboratory has previously shown that non-occlusive banding (NOB) via wrapping of a leather band (similar to a traditional Jewish ritual) can elicit an RIPC response in healthy human subjects. This study sought to further the pain-mediated aspect of this observation in a mouse model of NOB with healthy mice that were exposed to treatment with and without lidocaine to inhibit pain sensation prior to ischemia/reperfusion injury. We demonstrated that NOB downregulates key inflammatory markers resulting in a preconditioning response that is partially mediated via pain sensation.

Abstract
Remote ischemic preconditioning (rIPC) is a cardioprotective phenomenon where brief periods of ischemia followed by reperfusion of one organ/tissue can confer subsequent protection against ischemia/reperfusion injury in other organs, such as the heart. It involves activation of humoral, neural or systemic communication pathways inducing different intracellular signals in the heart. The main purpose of this review is to summarize the possible mechanisms involved in the rIPC cardioprotection, and to describe recent clinical trials to establish the efficacy of these strategies in cardioprotection from lethal ischemia/reperfusion injury. In this sense, certain factors weaken the subcellular mechanisms of rIPC in patients, such as age, comorbidities, medication, and anesthetic protocol, which could explain the heterogeneity of results in some clinical trials. For these reasons, further studies, carefully designed, are necessary to develop a clearer understanding of the pathways and mechanism of early and late rIPC. An understanding of the pathways is important for translation to patients.

Abstract
Remote ischaemic conditioning (RIC) refers to a process whereby periods of intermittent ischaemia, typically via the cyclical application of a blood pressure cuff to a limb at above systolic pressure, confers systemic protection against ischaemia in spatially distinct vascular territories. The mechanisms underlying this have not been characterised fully but have been shown to involve neural, hormonal and systemic inflammatory signalling cascades. Preclinical and early clinical studies have been promising and suggest beneficial effects of RIC in acute ischaemic stroke, symptomatic intracranial stenosis and vascular cognitive impairment. Through systematic searches of several clinical trials databases we identified 48 active clinical trials of RIC in ischaemic stroke, intracerebral haemorrhage and subarachnoid haemorrhage. We summarise the different RIC protocols and outcome measures studied in ongoing clinical trials and highlight which studies are most likely to elucidate the underlying biological mechanisms of RIC and characterise its efficacy in the near future. We discuss the uncertainties of RIC including the optimal frequency and duration of therapy, target patient groups, cost-effectiveness, the confounding impact of medications and the absence of a clinically meaningful biomarker of the conditioning response. With several large clinical trials of RIC expected to report their outcomes within the next 2 years, this review aims to highlight the most important studies and unanswered questions that will need to be addressed before this potentially widely accessible and low-cost intervention can be used in clinical practice.

Abstract
For most metazoans, oxygen deprivation leads to cell dysfunction and if severe, death. Sublethal stress prior to a hypoxic or anoxic insult ("preconditioning") can protect cells from subsequent oxygen deprivation. The molecular mechanisms by which sublethal stress can buffer against a subsequent toxic insult and the role of the nervous system in the response are not well understood. We studied the role of neuronal activity preconditioning to oxygen deprivation in Caenorhabditis elegans. Animals expressing the histamine gated chloride channels (HisCl1) in select cell populations were used to temporally and spatially inactivate the nervous system or tissue prior to an anoxic insult. We find that inactivation of the nervous system for 3 h prior to the insult confers resistance to a 48-h anoxic insult in 4th-stage larval animals. Experiments show that this resistance can be attributed to loss of activity in cholinergic and GABAergic neurons as well as in body wall muscles. These observations indicate that the nervous system activity can mediate the organism's response to anoxia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Remote ischaemic preconditioning (RIPC) has been shown to have a protective role on vital organs exposed to reperfusion injury. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the effects of non-invasive RIPC on clinical and biochemical outcomes in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery. METHODS A systematic literature search of PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, and Cochrane databases was carried out in February 2020. RCTs investigating the effect of non-invasive RIPC in adults undergoing non-cardiac surgery were included. Meta-analyses and trial sequential analyses (TSAs) were performed on cardiovascular events, acute kidney injury, and short- and long-term mortality. RESULTS Some 43 RCTs including 3660 patients were included. The surgical areas comprised orthopaedic, vascular, abdominal, pulmonary, neurological, and urological surgery. Meta-analysis showed RIPC to be associated with fewer cardiovascular events in non-cardiac surgery (13 trials, 1968 patients, 421 events; odds ratio (OR) 0.68, 95 per cent c.i. 0.47 to 0.96; P = 0.03). Meta-analyses of the effect of RIPC on acute kidney injury (12 trials, 1208 patients, 211 events; OR 1.14, 0.78 to 1.69; P = 0.50; I2 = 9 per cent), short-term mortality (7 trials, 1239 patients, 65 events; OR 0.65, 0.37 to 1.12; P = 0.12; I2 = 0 per cent), and long-term mortality (4 trials, 1167 patients, 9 events; OR 0.67, 0.18 to 2.55; P = 0.56; I2 = 0 per cent) showed no significant differences for RIPC compared with standard perioperative care in non-cardiac surgery. However, TSAs showed that the required information sizes have not yet been reached. CONCLUSION Application of RIPC to non-cardiac surgery might reduce cardiovascular events, but not acute kidney injury or all-cause mortality, but currently available data are inadequate to confirm or reject an assumed intervention effect.

Abstract
Intact endothelial function plays a fundamental role for the maintenance of cardiovascular (CV) health. The endothelium is also involved in remote signaling pathway-mediated protection against ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. However, the transfer of these protective signals into clinical practice has been hampered by the complex metabolic alterations frequently observed in the cardiometabolic continuum, which affect redox balance and inflammatory pathways. Despite recent advances in determining the distinct roles of hyperglycemia, insulin resistance (InR), hyperinsulinemia, and ultimately diabetes mellitus (DM), which define the cardiometabolic continuum, our understanding of how these conditions modulate endothelial signaling remains challenging. It is widely accepted that endothelial cells (ECs) undergo functional changes within the cardiometabolic continuum. Beyond vascular tone and platelet-endothelium interaction, endothelial dysfunction may have profound negative effects on outcome during I/R. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge of the influence of hyperglycemia, InR, hyperinsulinemia, and DM on endothelial function and redox balance, their influence on remote protective signaling pathways, and their impact on potential therapeutic strategies to optimize protective heterocellular signaling.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This trial was designed and patients were recruited at a time when the benefits of remote ischaemic preconditioning during open-heart surgery were still controversial. We focused on a homogeneous patient population undergoing either isolated aortic valve replacement or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery by investigating cardiac injury, metabolic stress and inflammatory response. METHODS A 2-centre randomized controlled trial recruited a total of 124 patients between February 2013 and April 2015. Of them, 64 patients underwent CABG and 60 patients underwent aortic valve replacement. Patients were randomized to either sham or preconditioning. Remote ischaemic preconditioning was applied following anaesthesia and before sternotomy. Myocardial injury and inflammatory response were assessed by serially measuring cardiac troponin I, and interleukin-6, 8, 10 and the tumour necrosis factor (TNF-α). Biopsies from the left and the right ventricles were harvested after ischaemic reperfusion injury for nucleotides analysis. RESULTS Application of remote ischaemic preconditioning did not alter the degree of troponin I release, levels of inflammatory markers and cardiac energetics in both the CABG and the aortic valve replacement groups. CONCLUSIONS Preconditioning did not confer any additional cardioprotection in terms of reducing the levels of troponin I and inflammatory markers and preserving left and right ventricle energy metabolites in patients undergoing isolated CABG or aortic valve surgery.

Abstract
NEW FINDINGS What is the central question of this study? Delayed cardiovascular responses occur following a single bout of remote ischaemic preconditioning (RIPC). Is heart rate variability (HRV), a surrogate marker of cardiac vagal control, able to detect a delayed effect after a single bout of RIPC? Do repeated bouts of RIPC further alter HRV? What is the main finding and its importance? Indices of HRV indicated a shift in sympathovagal balance toward greater parasympathetic activity following 2 weeks of RIPC but not after a single bout of RIPC. Thus, repeated bouts of RIPC were necessary to elicit changes in autonomic function. ABSTRACT Remote ischaemic preconditioning (RIPC), induced by brief periods of ischaemia followed by reperfusion, protects against ischaemia-reperfusion injury and improves microvascular function. However, the effect of RIPC on autonomic function remains unclear. We hypothesized that RIPC, administered as a single bout or repeated over a 2-week period, will increase markers of cardiac vagal control measured by heart rate variability (HRV). Thirty-two young adults performed a single bout (n = 13), repeated bouts (n = 11), or served as a time control (n = 8). RIPC sessions consisted of four repetitions of 5 min unilateral brachial artery occlusion interspersed by 5 min of reperfusion. For the single bout protocol, resting lead II electrocardiogram (ECG) was collected before and 24, 48, 72 and 168 h post-RIPC. The repeated bout protocol consisted of three 4-day periods of RIPC training, each interspersed by a 1-day break. Similar to time controls, ECG was collected before and 24 h after the last RIPC bout. HRV was analysed by power spectral density and symbolic dynamics using 350-beat ECG segments. After a single bout of RIPC, no changes in HRV were observed at any time point (P > 0.05). After 2 weeks of repeated RIPC, the percentage of zero-variation fragments (baseline = 13.1 ± 1.9%, post-RIPC = 6.9 ± 1.5%, P < 0.05) and the LF/HF ratio decreased (baseline = 1.1 ± 0.2, post-RIPC = 0.7 ± 0.1, P < 0.01), whereas the percentage of two-variation fragments increased (baseline = 42.9 ± 3.6%, post-RIPC = 52.5 ± 3.0%, P < 0.01). These data indicate that repeated RIPC is necessary to elicit changes in sympathovagal balance, specifically resulting in increased vagal and decreased sympathetic activity.

Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and the heart failure (HF) that often complicates this condition, are among the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. To reduce myocardial infarct (MI) size and prevent heart failure, novel therapies are required to protect the heart against the detrimental effects of acute ischaemia/reperfusion injury (IRI). In this regard, targeting cardiac innervation may provide a novel therapeutic strategy for cardioprotection. A number of cardiac neural pathways mediate the beneficial effects of cardioprotective strategies such as ischaemic preconditioning and remote ischaemic conditioning, and nerve stimulation may therefore provide a novel therapeutic strategy for cardioprotection. In this article, we provide an overview of cardiac innervation and its impact on acute myocardial IRI, the role of extrinsic and intrinsic cardiac neural pathways in cardioprotection, and highlight peripheral and central nerve stimulation as a cardioprotective strategy with therapeutic potential for reducing MI size and preventing HF following AMI. This article is part of a Cardiovascular Research Spotlight Issue entitled 'Cardioprotection Beyond the Cardiomyocyte', and emerged as part of the discussions of the European Union (EU)-CARDIOPROTECTION Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) Action, CA16225.

Abstract
Surgical repair of thoracic aorta can compromise blood flow of the spinal cord. To mitigate spinal cord ischemia (SCI) additional protection methods are needed. In experimental studies remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) has proven to be an effective method of protecting organs from ischemia. The aim of the study was to assess efficacy of RIPC in spinal cord protection in a chronic porcine model. Sixteen piglets were assigned into the RIPC group (8) and the control group (8). RIPC was performed using blood pressure cuff in a 5-minute ischemia followed by a 5-minute reperfusion repeating cycles 4 times. The left subclavian artery and all segmental arteries above diaphragm were ligated at 5-minute intervals to accomplish SCI. The follow-up comprised a 4-hour intensive monitoring and a 7-day recovery phase. Blood samples were obtained, motor-evoked potentials and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) of longitudinal back muscles were measured. Paraplegia was assessed every day postoperatively. Histopathological analysis of the spinal cord was performed after 7 days. NIRS values 4 hours after SCI were higher in the RIPC group, 45.5 (44.5-47.0), than in the control group, 41.5 (40.5-44.0) (P = 0.042). Nadir value of NIRS was 43.4 (39.3-46.0) in the RIPC group and 38.9 (38.-40.0) in the control group (P = 0.014). On the first postoperative day the RIPC group reached modified Tarlov score of 3 (2-3) vs 2 (1-2) in the control group (P = 0.024). RIPC hastens the recovery from SCI during the first postoperative day.

Abstract
Metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and ischemic heart disease are among the leading causes of death and disability in Western countries. Diabetic cardiomyopathy is responsible for the most severe signs and symptoms. An important strategy for reducing the incidence of cardiovascular disease is regular exercise. Remote ischemic conditioning has some similarity with exercise and can be induced by short periods of ischemia and reperfusion of a limb, and it can be performed in people who cannot exercise. There is abundant evidence that exercise is beneficial in diabetes and ischemic heart disease, but there is a need to elucidate the specific cardiovascular effects of emerging and unconventional forms of exercise in people with diabetes. In addition, remote ischemic conditioning may be considered among the options to induce beneficial effects in these patients. The characteristics and interactions of diabetes and ischemic heart disease, and the known effects of exercise and remote ischemic conditioning in the presence of metabolic syndrome and diabetes, are analyzed in this brief review.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury is a common clinical disorder resulting in significantly increased morbidity and mortality. However, despite extensive research, strategies for prevention or treatment are still lacking in routine clinical practice. Already decades ago, several preconditioning strategies (e. g. ischemic/hypoxic preconditioning and calorie restriction) have been published and their extraordinary effectiveness - especially in rodents - has raised the hope for powerful clinical tools to prevent acute kidney injury. However, the underlying mechanisms are still not completely understood and translation to the clinics has not been successful yet. In this review, the most attractive strategies and the current mechanistic concepts are introduced and discussed. Furthermore, we present clinical trials evaluating the feasibility of preconditioning in the clinical setting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The role of the neurogenic pathway in early phases of cardioprotection during remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) and adenosine preconditioning is reported. AIM This study was designed to explore the involvement of the neurogenic pathway in late phases of cardioprotection during RIPC and adenosine preconditioning. MATERIAL AND METHODS Fifty-four Wistar rats were used and divided into 9 experimental groups. RIPC was induced by tying the blood pressure cuff around the hind limb and subjecting to 4 cycles of inflation and deflation of 5 minutes each. In early RIPC, the heart was isolated immediately after the last episode of RIPC, whereas in late RIPC, the heart was isolated 24 hours after the last cycle of RIPC. In a similar way, adenosine preconditioning was instituted in early and late phases by either isolating the heart 40 minutes or 24 hours after adenosine (4 mg/kg, intraperitoneally [i.p.]) administration. Isolated hearts were subjected to ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury on the Langendorff's system. RESULTS Both early and late phases of RIPC and adenosine preconditioning significantly abrogated I/R-induced myocardial injury in terms of decrease in the release of lactate dehydrogenase, creatine kinase, and decrease in infarct size. Pretreatment with hexamethonium, a ganglion blocker (20 mg/kg, i.p.), significantly abolished the cardioprotective effects of both early and late phases of RIPC and adenosine preconditioning. CONCLUSION Apart from the involvement of the neurogenic pathway in the early phases, there is a critical role of the neurogenic pathway in the late phase of cardioprotection during RIPC and adenosine preconditioning.

Abstract
Remote ischemic conditioning is the phenomenon whereby brief, nonlethal episodes of ischemia in one organ (such as a limb) protect a remote organ from ischemic necrosis induced by a longer duration of severe ischemia followed by reperfusion. This phenomenon has been reproduced by dozens of experimental laboratories and was shown to reduce the size of myocardial infarction in many but not all clinical studies. In one recent large clinical trial, remote ischemic conditioning induced by repetitive blood pressure cuff inflations on the arm did not reduce infarct size or improve clinical outcomes. This negative result may have been related in part to the overall success of early reperfusion and current adjunctive therapies, such as antiplatelet therapy, antiremodeling therapies, and low-risk patients, that may make it difficult to show any advantage of newer adjunctive therapies on top of existing therapies. One relevant area in which current outcomes are not as positive as in the treatment of heart attack is the treatment of shock, where mortality rates remain high. Recent experimental studies show that remote ischemic conditioning may improve survival and organ function in shock states, especially hemorrhagic shock and septic shock. In this study, we review the preclinical studies that have explored the potential benefit of this therapy for shock states and describe an ongoing clinical study.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE The beach chair position for shoulder surgery induces cerebral hypoperfusion. We evaluated the effects of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) prior to surgery to ameliorate cerebral desaturation in a double-blind randomized fashion. DESIGN Blinded, prospective, randomized study. SETTING Operating room & postoperative recovery room, tertiary university hospital. PATIENTS Seventy patients scheduled for shoulder surgery were recruited. After excluding 7 patients according to the exclusion criteria, 63 patients were randomized into two groups (control and RIPC). INTERVENTIONS Remote ischemic preconditioning was applied by briefly inflating a tourniquet on the thigh three times just after inducing anesthesia in the RIPC group. MEASUREMENTS The changes in regional cerebral oxygen saturation, hemodynamic values, laboratory values, and serum levels of cytokines including interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, IL-10 and transforming growth factor-β were measured. MAIN RESULTS The remote ischemic preconditioning group had higher regional cerebral oxygen saturation just after establishment of the beach chair position (P = 0.002) and lower cerebral desaturation (P = 0.007) during operation than the control group. Hemodynamic and laboratory values did not differ between the groups. There were no significant intergroup differences in cytokine levels. CONCLUSION Remote ischemic preconditioning before surgery ameliorates cerebral desaturation in patients in the beach chair position during shoulder surgery.

Abstract
The mechanisms underlying the protective effects of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) are not presently clear. Recent studies in experimental models suggest the involvement of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) in cardioprotection. The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in ANS in healthy young volunteers divided into RIPC (n = 22) or SHAM (n = 18) groups. RIPC was induced by 1 cycle of 4 min inflation/5 min deflation followed by 2 cycles of 5 min inflation/5 min deflation of a cuff placed on the upper left limb. The study included analysis of heart rate (HR), blood pressure (BP), heart rate variability (HRV), measurements of microcirculation and porphyrin fluorescence in the limb before and after the RIPC. RIPC caused reactive hyperemia in the limb and reduced blood porphyrin level. A mental load (serial sevens test) and mild motor stress (hyperventilation) were performed on all subjects before and after RIPC or corresponding rest in the SHAM group. Reduction of HR occurred during the experiments in both RIPC and SHAM groups reflecting RIPC-independent adaptation of the subjects to the experimental procedure. However, in contrast to the SHAM group, RIPC altered several of the spectral indices of HRV during the serial sevens test and hyperventilation. This was expressed predominantly as an increase in power of the very low-frequency band of the spectrum, increased values of detrended fluctuation analysis and weakening of correlation between the HRV parameters and HR. In conclusion, RIPC induces changes in the activity of ANS that are linked to stress resistance.

Abstract
Despite decades of formidable exploration, multi-organ ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) encountered, particularly amongst elderly patients with clinical scenarios, such as age-related arteriosclerotic vascular disease, heart surgery and organ transplantation, is still an unsettled conundrum that besets clinicians. Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC), delivered via transient, repetitive noninvasive IR interventions to distant organs or tissues, is regarded as an innovative approach against IRI. Based on the available evidence, RIC holds the potential of affording protection to multiple organs or tissues, which include not only the heart and brain, but also others that are likely susceptible to IRI, such as the kidney, lung, liver and skin. Neuronal and humoral signaling pathways appear to play requisite roles in the mechanisms of RIC-related beneficial effects, and these pathways also display inseparable interactions with each other. So far, several hurdles lying ahead of clinical translation that remain to be settled, such as establishment of biomarkers, modification of RIC regimen, and deep understanding of underlying minutiae through which RIC exerts its powerful function. As this approach has garnered an increasing interest, herein, we aim to encapsulate an overview of the basic concept and postulated protective mechanisms of RIC, highlight the main findings from proof-of-concept clinical studies in various clinical scenarios, and also to discuss potential obstacles that remain to be conquered. More well designed and comprehensive experimental work or clinical trials are warranted in future research to confirm whether RIC could be utilized as a non-invasive, inexpensive and efficient adjunct therapeutic intervention method for multi-organ protection.

Abstract
RATIONALE A large number of basic and clinical studies have proved that remote ischemic conditioning has neuroprotective effect. For example, remote ischemic conditioning showed a neuroprotective role in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury model. Recent clinical studies suggested that remote ischemic conditioning may improve neurological function and reduce the risk of recurrence in ischemic stroke patients. However, there is a lack of convincing evidence for the neuroprotective effect of remote ischemic conditioning on ischemic stroke, which deserves further study. AIM To explore the efficacy and safety of remote ischemic conditioning for acute moderate ischemic stroke. SAMPLE SIZE ESTIMATES A maximum of 1800 subjects are required to test the superiority hypothesis with 80% power according to a one-sided 0.025 level of significance, stratified by gender, age, time from onset to treatment, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (6-10 vs. 11-16), degree of responsible vessel stenosis, location of stenosis, and stroke etiology. METHODS AND DESIGN Remote Ischemic Conditioning for Acute Moderate Ischemic Stroke is a prospective, random, open label, blinded endpoint and multi-center study. The subjects are divided into experimental group and control group randomly. The experimental group was treated with remote ischemic conditioning twice daily with 200 mmHg pressure for 10-14 days besides guideline-based therapy. The control group was treated according to the guidelines. STUDY OUTCOME The primary efficacy endpoint is favorable functional outcome, defined as modified Rankin Scale 0-1 at 90 days post-randomization.

Abstract
Background Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) is a procedure applied in a limb for triggering endogenous protective pathways in distant organs, namely brain or heart. The underlying mechanisms of RIC are still not fully understood, and it is hypothesized they are mediated either by humoral factors, immune cells and/or the autonomic nervous system. Herein, heart rate variability (HRV) was used to evaluate the electrophysiological processes occurring in the heart during RIC and, in turn to assess the role of autonomic nervous system. Methods Healthy subjects were submitted to RIC protocol and electrocardiography (ECG) was used to evaluate HRV, by assessing the variability of time intervals between two consecutive heart beats. This is a pilot study based on the analysis of 18 ECG from healthy subjects submitted to RIC. HRV was characterized in three domains (time, frequency and non-linear features) that can be correlated with the autonomic nervous system function. Results RIC procedure increased significantly the non-linear parameter SD2, which is associated with long term HRV. This effect was observed in all subjects and in the senior (> 60 years-old) subset analysis. SD2 increase suggests an activation of both parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous system, namely via fast vagal response (parasympathetic) and the slow sympathetic response to the baroreceptors stimulation. Conclusions RIC procedure modulates both parasympathetic and sympathetic autonomic nervous system. Furthermore, this modulation is more pronounced in the senior subset of subjects. Therefore, the autonomic nervous system regulation could be one of the mechanisms for RIC therapeutic effectiveness.

Effects of remote ischemic conditioning on kidney injury in at-risk patients undergoing elective coronary angiography (PREPARE study): a multicenter, randomized clinical trial. Sci Rep 2019; 9:11985. [PMID: 31427688 PMCID: PMC6700075 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-47106-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2018] [Accepted: 07/11/2019] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
The ability of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) to prevent contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) following percutaneous coronary angiography in at-risk patients is controversial. No evidence exists regarding potential RIPC positive effects on renal function and clinical outcomes in the long-term. The PREPARE study was a randomized, prospective, multicenter, and double-blinded trial. A total of 222 patients scheduled for coronary angiography and/or percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 40 mL/min/1.73 m2, or eGFR between 40 and 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 and two further risk factors were allocated to RIPC or control groups. Preventive measures were applied to all patients, including continuous intravenous saline infusion, withdrawal of nephrotoxic drugs, and limited volume of contrast medium. The primary endpoint, namely incidence of CIN, was 3.8% in the control group and 5.1% in the RIPC group (p = 0.74). The secondary endpoints, i.e., changes in serum creatinine and eGFR levels from baseline to 48 hours and from baseline to 12 months following contrast medium exposure, did not differ between both groups. The incidences of all major clinical events at 12 months were similar in both groups. In this population at risk of CIN, preventive strategies were associated with low CIN incidence. RIPC impacted neither the CIN incidence nor both the renal function and clinical outcomes at 1-year follow-up.

Recent Advances in Pharmacological and Non-Pharmacological Strategies of Cardioprotection. Int J Mol Sci 2019; 20:ijms20164002.

Abstract
Ischemic heart diseases (IHD) are the leading cause of death worldwide. Although the principal form of treatment of IHD is myocardial reperfusion, the recovery of coronary blood flow after ischemia can cause severe and fatal cardiac dysfunctions, mainly due to the abrupt entry of oxygen and ionic deregulation in cardiac cells. The ability of these cells to protect themselves against injury including ischemia and reperfusion (I/R), has been termed “cardioprotection”. This protective response can be stimulated by pharmacological agents (adenosine, catecholamines and others) and non-pharmacological procedures (conditioning, hypoxia and others). Several intracellular signaling pathways mediated by chemical messengers (enzymes, protein kinases, transcription factors and others) and cytoplasmic organelles (mitochondria, sarcoplasmic reticulum, nucleus and sarcolemma) are involved in cardioprotective responses. Therefore, advancement in understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the cardioprotective response can lead to the development of new pharmacological and non-pharmacological strategies for cardioprotection, thus contributing to increasing the efficacy of IHD treatment. In this work, we analyze the recent advances in pharmacological and non-pharmacological strategies of cardioprotection.

Remote ischaemic preconditioning does not modulate the systemic inflammatory response or renal tubular stress biomarkers after endotoxaemia in healthy human volunteers: a single-centre, mechanistic, randomised controlled trial. Br J Anaesth 2019; 123:177-185. [PMID: 31084985 DOI: 10.1016/j.bja.2019.03.037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2019] [Revised: 02/15/2019] [Accepted: 03/02/2019] [Indexed: 01/23/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Remote ischaemic preconditioning (RIPC) consists of repeated cycles of limb ischaemia and reperfusion, which may reduce perioperative myocardial ischaemic damage and kidney injury. We hypothesised that RIPC may be beneficial by attenuating the systemic inflammatory response. We investigated whether RIPC affects the response in humans to bacterial endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide [LPS]) by measuring plasma cytokines and renal cell-cycle arrest mediators, which reflect renal tubular stress. METHODS Healthy male volunteers were randomised to receive either daily RIPC for 6 consecutive days (RIPCmultiple, n=10) plus RIPC during the 40 min preceding i.v. LPS (2 ng kg-1), RIPC only during the 40 min before LPS (RIPCsingle, n=10), or no RIPC preceding LPS (control, n=10). As a surrogate marker of renal tubular stress, the product of urinary concentrations of two cell-cycle arrest markers was calculated (tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 [TIMP2]*insulin-like growth factor binding protein-7 [IGFBP7]). Data are presented as median (inter-quartile range). RESULTS In both RIPC groups, RIPC alone increased [TIMP2]*[IGFBP7]. LPS administration resulted in fever, flu-like symptoms, and haemodynamic alterations. Plasma cytokine concentrations increased profoundly during endotoxaemia (control group: tumor necrosis factor alpha [TNF-α] from 14 [9-16] pg ml-1 at baseline to 480 [284-709] pg ml-1 at 1.5 h after LPS; interleukin-6 [IL-6] from 4 [4-4] pg ml-1 at baseline to 659 [505-1018] pg ml-1 at 2 h after LPS). LPS administration also increased urinary [TIMP2[*[IGFBP7]. RIPC had no effect on LPS-induced cytokine release or [TIMP2]*[IGFBP7]. CONCLUSIONS RIPC neither modulated systemic cytokine release nor attenuated inflammation-induced tubular stress after LPS. However, RIPC alone induced renal markers of cell-cycle arrest. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT02602977.

Abstract
A humoral mechanism of cardioprotection by remote ischemic preconditioning (RIP) has been clearly demonstrated in various models of ischemia-reperfusion including upper and lower extremities, liver, and the mesenteric and renal arteries. A wide range of humoral factors for RIP have been proposed including hydrophobic peptides, opioid peptides, adenosine, prostanoids, endovanilloids, endocannabinoids, calcitonin gene-related peptide, leukotrienes, noradrenaline, adrenomedullin, erythropoietin, apolipoprotein, A-I glucagon-like peptide-1, interleukin 10, stromal cell-derived factor 1, and microRNAs. Virtually, all of the components of ischemic preconditioning's signaling pathway such as nitric oxide synthase, protein kinase C, redox signaling, PI3-kinase/Akt, glycogen synthase kinase β, ERK1/2, mitoKATP channels, Connexin 43, and STAT were all found to play a role. The signaling pattern also depends on which remote vascular bed was subjected to ischemia and on the time between applying the rip and myocardial ischemia occurs. Because there is convincing evidence for many seemingly diverse humoral components in RIP, the most likely explanation is that the overall mechanism is complex like that seen in ischemic preconditioning where multiple components are both in series and in parallel and interact with each other. Inhibition of any single component in the right circumstance may block the resulting protective effect, and selectively activating that component may trigger the protection. Identifying the humoral factors responsible for RIP might be useful in developing drugs that confer RIP's protection in a more comfortable and reliable manner.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patients who have been resuscitated after severe hemorrhagic shock still have a high mortality rate. Previously published literature has suggested that remote ischemic postconditioning (RIPostC) has a cardioprotective effect, but few studies have focused on RIPostC performed after severe hemorrhagic shock. In this study, we aim to explore the effects and mechanism of RIPostC on myocardial ischemia and reperfusion injuries after hemorrhagic shock. METHODS Fifty male rats were randomized into four groups: sham, control, remote ischemic per-conditioning (RIPerC), and RIPostC. Hemorrhagic shock was induced by removing 45% of the estimated total blood volume. Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) was induced by four cycles of limb ischemia for 5 min followed by 5 min of reperfusion, during and after resuscitation for the RIPerC and RIPostC groups, respectively. Myocardial function, survival rate, IL-6, IL-10, and SOD were detected. Myocardial damage was histopathologically analyzed, and proteins related to the reperfusion injury salvage kinase (RISK) pathway (Akt, MEK, ERK1/2) and the survival activating factor enhancement (SAFE) pathway (STAT-3 and STAT5) were measured. RESULTS Compared with the control group, the ejection fraction and myocardial performance indexes were significantly better in both RIC groups 2 h after resuscitation. Myocardial damage was attenuated and survival time increased significantly in the RIC groups. IL-6 and cardiac troponin I (cTnI) levels were notably reduced in both RIC groups. Only RIPostC had significantly increased levels of SOD and IL-10. The SAFE and RISK pathways were activated by RIPostC, whereas the effect of RIPerC was not significant. CONCLUSIONS RIPostC attenuated myocardial dysfunction and survival outcomes via the activation of the SAFE and RISK pathways in this rat model of hemorrhagic shock. RIPerC improves myocardial dysfunction, but might not do so via the SAFE and RISK pathways.

Abstract
Background Cardiac remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) is a noninvasive cardioprotective method in ischemia-reperfusion injury and acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The aims of this study were to investigate the effects of RIC in a rat model of AMI. Material/Methods Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats included the AMI group that underwent ligation of the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery (n=24), the RIC group that consisted the AMI rat model treated with RIC once daily in the left hind limb until days 1, 7 and 14 (n=24), and the sham group (n=24). Myocardial infarct size was measured by routine histology with triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) and Masson’s trichrome histochemical staining for myocardial necrosis and fibrosis, respectively. Serum levels of Bcl-2, Bax, caspase-3, and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The apoptosis index was detected using the TUNEL assay. Spectrophotometry of the myocardium was used to identify mitochondrial complexes and myocardial ATP. Results The RIC group showed improved cardiac hemodynamics, reduced the size of the myocardial infarction, upregulated expression of Bcl-2, and down-regulation of the levels of Bax, caspase-3, and iNOS, and reduced cardiac myocyte apoptosis and inhibited the opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP). Conclusions In a rat model of AMI, RIC improved the hemodynamic index, reduce the levels of apoptosis and myocardial injury, and improved mitochondrial function.
