Kleinbongard P, Lieder HR, Skyschally A, Heusch G. No robust reduction of infarct size and no-reflow by metoprolol pretreatment in adult Göttingen minipigs. Basic Res Cardiol 2023; 118:23. [PMID: 37289247 PMCID: PMC10250284 DOI: 10.1007/s00395-023-00993-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2023] [Revised: 05/09/2023] [Accepted: 05/20/2023] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
Whereas prior experiments in juvenile pigs had reported infarct size reduction by intravenous metoprolol early during myocardial ischaemia, two major clinical trials in patients with reperfused acute myocardial infarction were equivocal. We, therefore, went back and tested the translational robustness of infarct size reduction by metoprolol in minipigs. Using a power analysis-based prospective design, we pretreated 20 anaesthetised adult Göttingen minipigs with 1 mg kg-1 metoprolol or placebo and subjected them to 60-min coronary occlusion and 180-min reperfusion. Primary endpoint was infarct size (triphenyl tetrazolium chloride staining) as a fraction of area at risk; no-reflow area (thioflavin-S staining) was a secondary endpoint. There was no significant reduction in infarct size (46 ± 8% of area at risk with metoprolol vs. 42 ± 8% with placebo) or area of no-reflow (19 ± 21% of infarct size with metoprolol vs. 15 ± 23% with placebo). However, the inverse relationship between infarct size and ischaemic regional myocardial blood flow was modestly, but significantly shifted downwards with metoprolol, whereas ischaemic blood flow tended to be reduced by metoprolol. With an additional dose of 1 mg kg-1 metoprolol after 30-min ischaemia in 4 additional pigs, infarct size was also not reduced (54 ± 9% vs. 46 ± 8% in 3 contemporary placebo, n.s.), and area of no-reflow tended to be increased (59 ± 20% vs. 29 ± 12%, n.s.).Infarct size reduction by metoprolol in pigs is not robust, and this result reflects the equivocal clinical trials. The lack of infarct size reduction may be the result of opposite effects of reduced infarct size at any given blood flow and reduced blood flow, possibly through unopposed alpha-adrenergic coronary vasoconstriction.

Intravenous metoprolol during ongoing STEMI ameliorates markers of ischemic injury: a METOCARD-CNIC trial electrocardiographic study. Basic Res Cardiol 2021; 116:45.

Abstract
Besides its protective effect against neutrophil-mediated injury at reperfusion, intravenous (IV) metoprolol was recently shown to reduce the progression of ischemic injury in a pig model of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Here, we tested the hypothesis that IV metoprolol administration in humans with ongoing STEMI blunts the time‑dependent progression of ischemic injury assessed by serial electrocardiogram (ECG) evaluations before reperfusion. The METOCARD-CNIC trial randomized 270 anterior STEMI patients to IV metoprolol or control before reperfusion by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). In 139 patients (69 IV metoprolol, 70 controls), two ECGs were available (ECG-1 before randomization, ECG-2 pre-PCI). Between-group ECG differences were analyzed using univariate and multivariate regression models. No significant between-group differences were observed on ECG-1. On ECG-2, patients who received IV metoprolol had a narrower QRS than those in the control group (84 ms vs. 90 ms, p = 0.029), a lower prevalence of QRS distortion (10% vs. 26%, p = 0.017), and a lower sum of anterior and total ST-segment elevation (10.1 mm vs. 13.6 mm, p = 0.014 and 10.4 mm vs. 14.0 mm, p = 0.015, respectively). Adjusted analysis revealed similar results. Significant associations were observed between ECG-2 variables and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging measurements (extent of myocardial edema, infarct size, microvascular obstruction, and left-ventricular ejection fraction) after STEMI. In summary, IV metoprolol administration before reperfusion ameliorates ECG markers of myocardial ischemia in anterior STEMI patients. These data confirm that IV metoprolol is able to reduce ischemic injury and highlight the ability of ECG analysis to provide relevant real-time information on the effect of cardioprotective therapies before reperfusion.

Abstract
Early metoprolol administration protects against myocardial ischemia–reperfusion injury, but its effect on infarct size progression (ischemic injury) is unknown. Eight groups of pigs (total n = 122) underwent coronary artery occlusion of varying duration (20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, or 60 min) followed by reperfusion. In each group, pigs were randomized to i.v. metoprolol (0.75 mg/kg) or vehicle (saline) 20 min after ischemia onset. The primary outcome measure was infarct size (IS) on day7 cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) normalized to area at risk (AAR, measured by perfusion computed tomography [CT] during ischemia). Metoprolol treatment reduced overall mortality (10% vs 26%, p = 0.03) and the incidence and number of primary ventricular fibrillations during infarct induction. In controls, IS after 20-min ischemia was ≈ 5% of the area AAR. Thereafter, IS progressed exponentially, occupying almost all the AAR after 35 min of ischemia. Metoprolol injection significantly reduced the slope of IS progression (p = 0.004 for final IS). Head-to-head comparison (metoprolol treated vs vehicle treated) showed statistically significant reductions in IS at 30, 35, 40, and 50-min reperfusion. At 60-min reperfusion, IS was 100% of AAR in both groups. Despite more prolonged ischemia, metoprolol-treated pigs reperfused at 50 min had smaller infarcts than control pigs undergoing ischemia for 40 or 45 min and similar-sized infarcts to those undergoing 35-min ischemia. Day-45 LVEF was higher in metoprolol-treated vs vehicle-treated pigs (41.6% vs 36.5%, p = 0.008). In summary, metoprolol administration early during ischemia attenuates IS progression and reduces the incidence of primary ventricular fibrillation. These data identify metoprolol as an intervention ideally suited to the treatment of STEMI patients identified early in the course of infarction and requiring long transport times before primary angioplasty.

Cardioprotection by early metoprolol- attenuation of ischemic vs. reperfusion injury? Basic Res Cardiol 2020; 115:54.

Abstract
Despite the increasing use and success of interventional coronary reperfusion strategies, morbidity and mortality from acute myocardial infarction are still substantial. Myocardial infarct size is a major determinant of prognosis in these patients. Therefore, cardioprotective strategies aim to reduce infarct size. However, a perplexing gap exists between the many preclinical studies reporting infarct size reduction with mechanical and pharmacological interventions and the poor translation into better clinical outcomes in patients. This Review revisits the pathophysiology of myocardial ischaemia-reperfusion injury, including the role of autophagy and forms of cell death such as necrosis, apoptosis, necroptosis and pyroptosis. Other cellular compartments in addition to cardiomyocytes are addressed, notably the coronary microcirculation. Preclinical and clinical research developments in mechanical and pharmacological approaches to induce cardioprotection, and their signal transduction pathways, are discussed. Additive cardioprotective interventions are advocated. For clinical translation into treatments for patients with acute myocardial infarction, who typically are of advanced age, have comorbidities and are receiving several medications, not only infarct size reduction but also attenuation of coronary microvascular obstruction, as well as longer-term targets including infarct repair and reverse remodelling, must be considered to improve patient outcomes. Future clinical trials must focus on patients who really need adjunct cardioprotection, that is, those with severe haemodynamic alterations.

Abstract
Despite many cardioprotective interventions have shown to protect the heart against ischemia/reperfusion injury in the experimental setting, only few of them have succeeded in translating their findings into positive proof-of-concept clinical trials. Controversial and inconsistent experimental and clinical evidence supports the urgency of a disruptive paradigm shift for testing cardioprotective therapies. There is a need to evaluate experimental reproducibility before stepping into the clinical arena. The CIBERCV (acronym for Spanish network-center for cardiovascular biomedical research) has set up the "Cardioprotection Large Animal Platform" (CIBER-CLAP) to perform experimental studies testing the efficacy and reproducibility of promising cardioprotective interventions based on a pre-specified design and protocols, randomization, blinding assessment and other robust methodological features. Our first randomized, control-group, open-label blinded endpoint experimental trial assessing local ischemic preconditioning (IPC) in a pig model of acute myocardial infarction (n = 87) will be carried out in three separate sets of experiments performed in parallel by three laboratories. Each set aims to assess: (A) CMR-based outcomes; (B) histopathological-based outcomes; and (C) protein-based outcomes. Three core labs will assess outcomes in a blinded fashion (CMR imaging, histopathology and proteomics) and 2 methodological core labs will conduct the randomization and statistical analysis.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease encompasses a wide range of conditions, resulting in the highest number of deaths worldwide. The underlying pathologies surrounding cardiovascular disease include a vast and complicated network of both cellular and molecular mechanisms. Unique phenotypic alterations in specific cell types, visualized as varying RNA expression-levels (both coding and non-coding), have been identified as crucial factors in the pathology underlying conditions such as heart failure and atherosclerosis. Recent advances in single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) have elucidated a new realm of cell subpopulations and transcriptional variations that are associated with normal and pathological physiology in a wide variety of diseases. This breakthrough in the phenotypical understanding of our cells has brought novel insight into cardiovascular basic science. scRNA-seq allows for separation of widely distinct cell subpopulations which were, until recently, simply averaged together with bulk-tissue RNA-seq. scRNA-seq has been used to identify novel cell types in the heart and vasculature that could be implicated in a variety of disease pathologies. Furthermore, scRNA-seq has been able to identify significant heterogeneity of phenotypes within individual cell subtype populations. The ability to characterize single cells based on transcriptional phenotypes allows researchers the ability to map development of cells and identify changes in specific subpopulations due to diseases at a very high throughput. This review looks at recent scRNA-seq studies of various aspects of the cardiovascular system and discusses their potential value to our understanding of the cardiovascular system and pathology.

Abstract
The success of therapies targeting myocardial reperfusion injury is limited, while the cardioprotective impact of mitigating ischemia-related damage remains less explored. We have recently shown in a pig model that the intravenous administration of a modified atorvastatin preparation during ischemia attenuates the rise of cardiac ischemia injury biomarkers. In the following study, we sought to investigate the mechanisms behind these ischemia-related cardioprotective effects. Ischemia was induced by 90 min total coronary balloon occlusion in pigs fed a normocholesterolemic regime. Fifteen minutes after the onset of ischemia, animals were randomized to receive intravenous atorvastatin preparation (IV-atorva) or vehicle. After ischemia animals were euthanized to assess the effect of IV-atorva treatment on gene and protein levels/activation of senescence-, apoptosis-, and cardioprotective/metabolic-related markers. Proof-of-concept studies were carried out in mice and rats in which treatments or vehicle were administered 15 min after initiation of ischemia induced by permanent coronary ligation. Western-blot analyses revealed that in the ischemic myocardium of IV-atorva-treated pigs, RhoA was inactivated, phosphorylation of p53 and caspase-3 was reduced and AMPK was activated with the consequent regulation of the mTOR/raptor-signaling pathway. IV-atorva-treated rats showed, as compared to vehicle, a significant reduction (60%) in scar size assessed at 1 month by histological staining, and mice studies demonstrated the causal involvement of AMPK activation in IV-atorva mediated cardioprotective effects. We demonstrate in pigs and rodents that prompt intravenous treatment with atorvastatin during ischemia limits cardiac cell death and reduces infarct size through AMPK signaling.

Abstract
There is a need to find interventions able to reduce the extent of injury in reperfused ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) beyond timely reperfusion. In this review, we summarise the clinical impact of STEMI from epidemiological, clinical and biological perspectives. We also revise the pathophysiology underlying the ischaemia/reperfusion syndrome occurring in reperfused STEMI, including the several players involved in this syndrome, such as cardiomyocytes, microcirculation and circulating cells. Interventions aimed to reduce the resultant infarct size, known as cardioprotective therapies, are extensively discussed, putting the focus on both mechanical interventions (i.e. ischaemic conditioning) and promising pharmacological therapies, such as early intravenous metoprolol, exenatide and other glucose modulators, N-acetylcysteine as well as on some other classic therapies which have failed to be translated to the clinical arena. Novel targets for evolving therapeutic interventions to ameliorate ischaemia/reperfusion injury are also discussed. Finally, we highlight the necessity to improve the study design of future randomised clinical trials in the field, as well as to select patients better who can most likely benefit from cardioprotective interventions.

Abstract
Ischemic conditioning maneuvers, when induced either locally in the heart or remotely from the heart, reduce infarct size. However, infarct size reduction can be assessed no earlier than hours after established reperfusion. ST-segment elevation and its attenuation might reflect cardioprotection by ischemic conditioning online. Pigs were subjected to regional myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (1 h/3 h). Ischemic conditioning was induced prior to ischemia either locally (preconditioning; IPC; n = 15) or remotely (remote preconditioning; RIPC; n = 21), remotely during ischemia (remote perconditioning; RPER; n = 18), or locally at reperfusion (postconditioning; POCO; n = 9). Pigs without conditioning served as controls (PLA; n = 29). Area at risk and infarct size were measured postmortem, and ST-segment elevation was analyzed in a V2-like electrocardiogram lead. Ischemic conditioning reduced infarct size (PLA 42 ± 11% of area at risk; IPC 18 ± 10%; RIPC 22 ± 12%; RPER 23 ± 12%, POCO 22 ± 11%). With PLA, ST-segment elevation was increased at 5 min ischemia, sustained until 55 min ischemia and further increased at 10 min reperfusion. IPC and RIPC did not impact on ST-segment elevation at 5 min ischemia, but attenuated ST-segment elevation at 55 min ischemia. With RPER, ST-segment elevation was not different from that with PLA at 5 min, but attenuated at 55 min ischemia. POCO abolished the further increase of ST-segment elevation with reperfusion. Cardioprotection by ischemic conditioning is robustly reflected by attenuation of ST-segment elevation online.

Abstract
Reperfusion does not only salvage ischaemic myocardium but can also cause additional cell death which is called lethal reperfusion injury. The time of reperfusion is often accompanied by ventricular arrhythmias, i.e. reperfusion arrhythmias. While both conditions are seen as separate processes, recent research has shown that reperfusion arrhythmias are related to larger infarct size. The pathophysiology of fatal reperfusion injury revolves around intracellular calcium overload and reactive oxidative species inducing apoptosis by opening of the mitochondrial protein transition pore. The pathophysiological basis for reperfusion arrhythmias is the same intracellular calcium overload as that causing fatal reperfusion injury. Therefore both conditions should not be seen as separate entities but as one and the same process resulting in two different visible effects. Reperfusion arrhythmias could therefore be seen as a potential marker for fatal reperfusion injury.

Abstract
The administration of the selective β3 adrenergic receptor (β3AR) agonist BRL-37344 protects from myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI), although the lack of clinical approval limits its translatability. We tested the cardioprotective effect of mirabegron, the first-in-class β3AR agonist approved for human use. A dose-response study was conducted in 6 pigs to select the highest intravenous dose of mirabegron without significant detrimental hemodynamic effect. Subsequently, closed chest anterior myocardial infarction (45 min ischemia followed by reperfusion) was performed in 26 pigs which randomly received either mirabegron (10 μg/kg) or placebo 5 min before reperfusion. Day-7 cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) showed no differences in infarct size (35.0 ± 2.0% of left ventricle (LV) vs. 35.9 ± 2.4% in mirabegron and placebo respectively, p = 0.782) or LV ejection fraction (36.3 ± 1.1 vs. 34.6 ± 1.9%, p = 0.430). Consistent results were obtained on day-45 CMR. In conclusion, the intravenous administration of the clinically available selective β3AR agonist mirabegron does not reduce infarct size in a swine model of IRI.
