Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The spleen serves as an important relay organ that releases cardioprotective factor(s) upon vagal activation during remote ischaemic conditioning (RIC) in rats and pigs. The translation of these findings to humans was attempted. METHODS Remote ischaemic conditioning or electrical auricular tragus stimulation (ATS) were performed in 10 healthy young volunteers, 10 volunteers with splenectomy, and 20 matched controls. Venous blood samples were taken before and after RIC/ATS or placebo, and a plasma dialysate was infused into isolated perfused rat hearts subjected to global ischaemia/reperfusion. RESULTS Neither left nor right RIC or ATS altered heart rate and heart rate variability in the study cohorts. With the plasma dialysate prepared before RIC or ATS, respectively, infarct size (% ventricular mass) in the recipient rat heart was 36 ± 6% (left RIC), 34 ± 3% (right RIC) or 31 ± 5% (left ATS), 35 ± 5% (right ATS), and decreased with the plasma dialysate from healthy volunteers after RIC or ATS to 20 ± 4% (left RIC), 23 ± 6% (right RIC) or to 19 ± 4% (left ATS), 26 ± 9% (right ATS); infarct size was still reduced with plasma dialysate 4 days after ATS and 9 days after RIC. In a subgroup of six healthy volunteers, such infarct size reduction was abrogated by intravenous atropine. Infarct size reduction by RIC or ATS was also abrogated in 10 volunteers with splenectomy, but not in their 20 matched controls. CONCLUSIONS In humans, vagal innervation and the spleen as a relay organ are decisive for the cardioprotective signal transduction of RIC and ATS.

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
OBJECTIVE The prognostic factors of young patients aged ≤40 years with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) remain unclear. This study explored risk factors that may affect the 1-year prognosis of young STEMI patients by analyzing patient data of baseline, clinical regimen, and secondary prevention. METHODS Baseline and clinical data were collected from 420 STEMI patients aged ≤40 years. One year of follow-up was performed to record and compare the differences in data between patients with and without adverse events. Binary logistic regression analysis with controls for confounding factors was used to evaluate prognosis-related independent factors. RESULTS The overall incidence of cardiovascular adverse events was 15.95%. Comparison of the subgroups revealed that regardless of adjustment for confounding factors, prognoses of the patients were affected by the following factors: BMI, marital status, serum apolipoprotein(a) (ApoA) levels, number of diseased vessels, treatment regimen, compliance of secondary prevention, improvement of lifestyle, and adjusted comorbidities ( P < 0.05). Independent analysis of adverse events revealed that BMI, number of diseased vessels, and compliance of secondary prevention were independent factors of recurrent acute myocardial infarction in patients. Serum ApoA level, treatment regimen, and compliance of secondary prevention were independent influence factors of heart failure in patients. Marital status and serum ApoA level were independent factors of malignant arrhythmias in patients. BMI, compliance of secondary prevention, and improvement of lifestyle were independent factors of cardiac death in patients. CONCLUSION This study determined the influential factors for the prognosis of STEMI patients aged ≤40 years as follows: BMI, marital status, comorbidities, number of diseased vessels, regimen, compliance of secondary prevention, and improvement of lifestyle. The risk of cardiovascular adverse events may be reduced by modulating the influential factors.

Abstract
Background Remote ischemic postconditioning (RIPostC) induced by brief episodes of the limb ischemia is a potential therapeutic strategy for myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury, achieved by reducing cardiomyocyte death, inflammation and so on. The actual mechanisms underlying cardioprotection conferred by RIPostC remain unclear. Exploring gene expression profiles in myocardium at transcriptional level is helpful to deepen the understanding on the cardioprotective mechanisms of RIPostC. This study aims to investigate the effect of RIPostC on gene expressions in rat myocardium using transcriptome sequencing. Methods Rat myocardium samples from the RIPostC group, the control group (myocardial ischemia/reperfusion group) and the sham group were performed transcriptome analysis using RNA sequencing. The levels of cardiac IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10 and TNFα were analyzed by Elisa. The expression levels of candidate genes were verified by qRT-PCR technique. Infarct size was measured by Evans blue and TTC staining. Apoptosis was assessed by TUNEL assays and caspase-3 levels were detected using western blotting. Results RIPostC can markedly decrease infarct size and reduce the levels of cardiac IL-1β, IL-6 and increase the level of cardiac IL-10. This transcriptome analysis showed that 2 genes were up-regulated (Prodh1 and ADAMTS15) and 5 genes (Caspase-6, Claudin-5, Sccpdh, Robo4 and AABR07011951.1) were down-regulated in the RIPostC group. Go annotation analysis showed that Go terms mainly included cellular process, metabolic process, cell part, organelle, catalytic activity and binding. The KEGG annotation analysis of DEGs found only one pathway, amino acid metabolism, was up-regulated. The relative mRNA expression levels of ADAMTS15, Caspase-6, Claudin-5 and Prodh1 were verified by qRT-PCR, which were consistent with the RNA-seq results. In addition, the relative expression of ADAMTS15 was negatively correlated with the level of cardiac IL-1β (r = -0.748, P = 0.005) and positively correlated with the level of cardiac IL-10 (r = 0.698, P = 0.012). A negative correlation statistical trend was found between the relative expression of ADAMTS15 and the level of cardiac IL-6 (r = -0.545, P = 0.067). Conclusions ADAMTS15 may be a potential inflammation-related gene in regulation of cardioprotection conferred by remote ischemic postconditioning and a possible therapeutic target for myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury in the future.

Protective Effect of Remote Ischemic Preconditioning against Myocardial Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in Rats and Mice: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Rev Cardiovasc Med 2022; 23:413.

Abstract
Background Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) has cardioprotective effects. This study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness and potential influencing factors of RIPC for myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) in rats and mice. Methods The PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were searched to identify animal model studies that explored the effect of RIPC on MIRI. The primary outcome was myocardial infarct size, and secondary outcomes included serum cardiac markers, vital signs, hemodynamic parameters, and TUNEL-positive cells. Quality was assessed using SYRCLE's Risk of Bias Tool. Results This systematic review and meta-analysis included 713 male animals from 37 studies. RIPC significantly protected against MIRI in small animal models by reducing infarct size, decreasing serum myocardial marker levels and cell death, and improving cardiac function. Subgroup analysis indicated that RIPC duration and sites influence the protective effect of RIPC on MIRI. Meta-regression suggested that study type and staining method might be sources of heterogeneity. The funnel plot, Egger's test, and Begg's test suggested the existence of publication bias, but results of the sensitivity analysis and nonparametric trim-and-fill method showed that the overall effect of RIPC on MIRI infarct size was robust. Conclusions RIPC significantly protected against MIRI in small animal models by reducing infarct size, decreasing serum myocardial markers and limiting cell death, and improving cardiac function. RIPC duration and site influence the protective effect of RIPC on MIRI, which contributes in reducing confounding factors and determines the best approach for human studies.

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. [PMID: 34917179 PMCID: PMC8630441 DOI: 10.3892/etm.2021.10970] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2020] [Accepted: 10/15/2021] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
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
Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC), which involves a series of short cycles of ischemia in an organ remote to the brain (typically the limbs), has been shown to protect the ischemic penumbra after stroke and reduce ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury. Although the exact mechanism by which this protective signal is transferred from the remote site to the brain remains unclear, preclinical studies suggest that the mechanisms of RIC involve a combination of circulating humoral factors and neuronal signals. An improved understanding of these mechanisms will facilitate translation to more effective treatment strategies in clinical settings. In this review, we will discuss potential protective mechanisms in the brain and cerebral vasculature associated with RIC. We will discuss a putative role of the immune system and circulating mediators of inflammation in these protective processes, including the expression of pro-and anti-inflammatory genes in peripheral immune cells that may influence the outcome. We will also review the potential role of extracellular vesicles (EVs), biological vectors capable of delivering cell-specific cargo such as proteins and miRNAs to cells, in modulating the protective effects of RIC in the brain and vasculature.

Abstract
Stroke is one of the main causes of neurological disability worldwide and the second cause of death in people over 65 years old, resulting in great economic and social burden. Ischemic stroke accounts for 85% of total cases, and the approved therapies are based on re-establishment of blood flow, and do not directly target brain parenchyma. Thus, novel therapies are urgently needed. In this review, limb remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) is revised and discussed as a potential therapy against ischemic stroke. The review targets both (i) fundamental research based on experimental models and (ii) clinical research based on clinical trials and human interventional studies with healthy volunteers. Moreover, it also presents two approaches concerning RIC mechanisms in stroke: (i) description of the underlying cerebral cellular and molecular mechanisms triggered by limb RIC that promote neuroprotection against stroke induced damage and (ii) the identification of signaling factors involved in inter-organ communication following RIC procedure. Limb to brain remote signaling can occur via circulating biochemical factors, immune cells, and/or stimulation of autonomic nervous system. In this review, these three hypotheses are explored in both humans and experimental models. Finally, the challenges involved in translating experimentally generated scientific knowledge to a clinical setting are also discussed.

Abstract
Cardioprotection includes all mechanisms that contribute to preservation of the heart by reducing or even preventing myocardial damage. High-density lipoproteins (HDLs) are circulating multimolecular platforms that exert a multitude of effects on cardiomyocytes and nonmyocyte cells in the myocardium leading to preservation of cardiac structure and function. Animal intervention studies applying HDL-targeted therapies have provided consistent evidence that HDLs protect against ischemia-reperfusion injury, leading to smaller myocardial infarctions, and that HDLs attenuate infarct expansion and cardiac remodeling post-myocardial infarction. These beneficial effects of HDLs are not restricted to prevention of development of ischemic cardiomyopathy but also apply to prevention of pathological hypertrophy and adverse remodeling in the presence of diabetes or in the presence of pressure overload. Moreover, HDLs can induce reverse remodeling characterized by a reduction of cardiac hypertrophy, a decrease of myocardial fibrosis, a regression of capillary rarefaction, and a restoration of cardiac function. HDL-targeted interventions are an effective treatment for heart failure in animal models. In conclusion, whereas protective effects of HDLs on coronary arteries remain essentially unproven till now, the potential for clinical translation of HDL-targeted interventions in prevention of cardiomyopathy and in treatment of heart failure is supported by consistent evidence from animal intervention studies.

Abstract
The actual protective mechanisms underlying cardioprotection with remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) remain unclear. Recent data suggest that RIC induces kynurenine (KYN) and kynurenic acid synthesis, two metabolites derived from tryptophan (TRP), yet a causal relation between TRP pathway and RIC remains to be established. We sought to study the impact of RIC on the levels of TRP and its main metabolites within tissues, and to assess whether blocking kynurenine (KYN) synthesis from TRP would inhibit RIC-induced cardioprotection. In rats exposed to 40-min coronary occlusion and 2-h reperfusion, infarct size was significantly smaller in RIC-treated animals (35.7 ± 3.0% vs. 46.5 ± 2.2%, p = 0.01). This protection was lost in rats that received 1-methyl-tryptophan (1-MT) pretreatment, an inhibitor of KYN synthesis from TRP (infarct size = 46.2 ± 5.0%). Levels of TRP and nine compounds spanning its metabolism through the serotonin and KYN pathways were measured by reversed-phase liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry in the liver, heart, and limb skeletal muscle, either exposed or not to RIC. In the liver, RIC induced a significant increase in xanthurenic acid, nicotinic acid, and TRP. Likewise, RIC increased NAD-dependent deacetylase sirtuin activity in the liver. Pretreatment with 1-MT suppressed the RIC-induced increases in NAD-dependent deacetylase sirtuin activity. Altogether, these findings indicate that RIC mechanism is dependent on TRP-KYN pathway activation.

Abstract
Remote ischemic conditioning has been investigated for cardioprotection to attenuate myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the current knowledge of the signal transduction pathways of remote ischemic conditioning according to three stages: Remote stimulus from source organ; protective signal transfer through neuronal and humoral factors; and target organ response, including myocardial response and coronary vascular response. The neuronal and humoral factors interact on three levels, including stimulus, systemic, and target levels. Subsequently, we reviewed the clinical studies evaluating the cardioprotective effect of remote ischemic conditioning. While clinical studies of percutaneous coronary intervention showed relatively consistent protective effects, the majority of multicenter studies of cardiac surgery reported neutral results although there have been several promising initial trials. Failure to translate the protective effects of remote ischemic conditioning into cardiac surgery may be due to the multifactorial etiology of myocardial injury, potential confounding factors of patient age, comorbidities including diabetes, concomitant medications, and the coadministered cardioprotective general anesthetic agents. Given the complexity of signal transfer pathways and confounding factors, further studies should evaluate the multitarget strategies with optimal measures of composite outcomes.

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
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide. There has been an extensive search for cardioprotective therapies to reduce myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) is a phenomenon that relies on the body's endogenous protective modalities against I/R injury. In RIPC, non-lethal brief I/R of one organ or tissue confers protection against subsequent lethal I/R injury in an organ remote to the briefly ischemic organ or tissue. Initially it was believed to be limited to direct myocardial protection, however it soon became apparent that RIPC applied to other organs such as kidney, liver, intestine, skeletal muscle can reduce myocardial infarct size. Intriguing discoveries have been made in extending the concept of RIPC to other organs than the heart. Over the years, the underlying mechanisms of RIPC have been widely sought and discussed. The involvement of blood-borne factors as mediators of RIPC has been suggested by a number of research groups. The main purpose of this review article is to summarize the possible circulating mediators of RIPC, and recent studies to establish the clinical efficacy of these mediators in cardioprotection from lethal I/R injury.

Abstract
Cardioprotective efficacy of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) remains controversial. Experimental studies investigating RIPC have largely monitored cardiovascular changes during index ischemia and reperfusion with little work investigating changes during RIPC application. This work aims to identify cardiovascular changes associated with autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity during RIPC and prior to index ischemia. RIPC was induced in anesthetized male C57/Bl6 mice by four cycles of 5 min of hindlimb ischemia using inflated cuff (200 mmHg) followed by 5 min reperfusion. Electrocardiography (ECG) and microcirculatory blood flow in both hindlimbs were recorded throughout RIPC protocol. Heart rate variability (HRV) analysis was performed using ECG data. Hearts extracted at the end of RIPC protocol were used either for measurement of myocardial metabolites using high‐performance liquid chromatography or for Langendorff perfusion to monitor function and injury during 30 min index ischemia and 2 h reperfusion. Isolated‐perfused hearts from RIPC animals had significantly less infarct size after index ischemia and reperfusion (34 ± 5% vs. 59 ± 7%; mean ± SE P < 0.05). RIPC protocol was associated with increased heart rate measured both in ex vivo and in vivo. Frequency ratio of HRV spectra was altered in RIPC compared to control. RIPC was associated with a standard hyperemic response in the cuffed‐limb but there was a sustained reduction in blood flow in the uncuffed contralateral limb. RIPC hearts (prior to index ischemia) had significantly lower phosphorylation potential and energy charge compared to the control group. In conclusion, RIPC is associated with changes in ANS activity (heart rate, blood flow, HRV) and mild myocardial ischemic stress that would contribute to cardioprotection.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The most effective strategy for reducing acute myocardial ischemic injury is timely and effective reperfusion. However, myocardial reperfusion can induce further cardiomyocyte death (reperfusion injury). Interventions that protect the heart from ischemia/reperfusion injury, reducing infarct size, can involve remote ischemic preconditioning and postconditioning. These interventions have a promising potential clinical application, and have been the focus of recent research. In this review, we provide an update of remote ischemic preconditioning and postconditioning mechanisms. RECENT FINDINGS Remote ischemic preconditioning cardioprotection can occur via a humoral pathway and/or a neural pathway. These two pathways have been described as mechanistically different, but it has been suggested that they could be interdependent. However, remote ischemic postconditioning mainly involves the humoral pathway. In this review, we will discuss the different pathways and mechanisms involved in remote ischemic preconditioning and postconditioning. SUMMARY Remote ischemic preconditioning and postconditioning is possible to perform in a clinical setting by intermittent ischemia of an upper or lower limb. Furthermore, clinical trials using this procedure in the context of predictable ischemia-reperfusion have produced promising results, and other studies to define the potential clinical use of these strategies are ongoing.

Abstract
Remote ischaemic conditioning (RIC) is a promising method of cardioprotection, with numerous clinical studies having demonstrated its ability to reduce myocardial infarct size and improve prognosis. On the other hand, there are several clinical trials, in particular those conducted in the setting of elective cardiac surgery, that have failed to show any benefit of RIC. These contradictory data indicate that there is insufficient understanding of the mechanisms underlying RIC. RIC is now known to signal indiscriminately, protecting not only the heart, but also other organs. In particular, experimental studies have demonstrated that it is able to reduce infarct size in an acute ischaemic stroke model. However, the mechanisms underlying RIC-induced neuroprotection are even less well understood than for cardioprotection. The existence of bidirectional feedback interactions between the heart and the brain suggests that the mechanisms of RIC-induced neuroprotection and cardioprotection should be studied as a whole. This review, therefore, addresses the topic of the neural component of the RIC mechanism.

Abstract
Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) is a robust neuroprotective phenomenon in which a brief period of cerebral ischemia confers transient tolerance to subsequent ischemic challenge. Research on IPC has implicated cellular, molecular, and systemic elements of the immune response in this phenomenon. Potent molecular mediators of IPC include innate immune signaling pathways such as Toll-like receptors and type 1 interferons. Brain ischemia results in release of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines that orchestrate the neuroinflammatory response, resolution of inflammation, and transition to neurological recovery and regeneration. Cellular mediators of IPC include microglia, the resident central nervous system immune cells, astrocytes, and neurons. All of these cell types engage in cross-talk with each other using a multitude of signaling pathways that modulate activation/suppression of each of the other cell types in response to ischemia. As the postischemic neuroimmune response evolves over time there is a shift in function toward provision of trophic support and neuroprotection. Peripheral immune cells infiltrate the central nervous system en masse after stroke and are largely detrimental, with a few subtypes having beneficial, protective effects, though the role of these immune cells in IPC is largely unknown. The role of neural progenitor cells in IPC-mediated neuroprotection is another active area of investigation as is the role of microglial proliferation in this setting. A mechanistic understanding of these molecular and cellular mediators of IPC may not only facilitate more effective direct application of IPC to specific clinical scenarios, but also, more broadly, reveal novel targets for therapeutic intervention in stroke.

Abstract
Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC), the phenomenon whereby brief ischemic episodes in distant tissues or organs render the heart resistant to infarction, has been exhaustively demonstrated in preclinical models. Moreover, emerging evidence suggests that exosomes play a requisite role in conveying the cardioprotective signal from remote tissue to the myocardium. However, in cohorts displaying clinically common comorbidities-in particular, type-2 diabetes-the infarct-sparing effect of RIPC may be confounded for as-yet unknown reasons. To investigate this issue, we used an integrated in vivo and in vitro approach to establish whether: (1) the efficacy of RIPC is maintained in the Zucker fatty rat model of type-2 diabetes, (2) the humoral transfer of cardioprotective triggers initiated by RIPC are transported via exosomes, and (3) diabetes is associated with alterations in exosome-mediated communication. We report that a standard RIPC stimulus (four 5-min episodes of hindlimb ischemia) reduced infarct size in normoglycemic Zucker lean rats, but failed to confer protection in diabetic Zucker fatty animals. Moreover, we provide novel evidence, via transfer of serum and serum fractions obtained following RIPC and applied to HL-1 cardiomyocytes subjected to hypoxia-reoxygenation, that diabetes was accompanied by impaired humoral communication of cardioprotective signals. Specifically, our data revealed that serum and exosome-rich serum fractions collected from normoglycemic rats attenuated hypoxia-reoxygenation-induced HL-1 cell death, while, in contrast, exosome-rich samples from Zucker fatty rats did not evoke protection in the HL-1 cell model. Finally, and unexpectedly, we found that exosome-depleted serum from Zucker fatty rats was cytotoxic and exacerbated hypoxia-reoxygenation-induced cardiomyocyte death.

Abstract
Mechanisms of ischemic preconditioning have been extensively studied in gray matter. However, an ischemic episode affects both the gray matter (GM) and white matter (WM) portions of the brain. Inhibition of mitochondrial fission is one of the mechanisms of preconditioning neuronal cell bodies against ischemia. Although axons are anatomical extensions of neuronal cell bodies, injury mechanisms differ between GM and WM. Indeed, axonal dysfunction is responsible for much of the disability associated with clinical deficits observed after stroke; however, the signaling process underlying preconditioning remains unexplored in axons. Using mouse optic nerve, which is a pure isolated WM tract, we show that mitochondria in myelinated axons undergo rapid and profuse fission during oxygen glucose deprivation (OGD) that is mediated by translocation of cytoplasmic Dynamin Related Protein-1 (Drp-1) to mitochondria. OGD-induced mitochondrial fission correlates with reduced mitochondrial motility and loss of axon function. Mitochondrial fragmentation and loss of motility become permanent during the recovery period. Inhibiting mitochondrial fission by administering mitochondrial division inhibitor-1 (Mdivi-1) during OGD preserves mitochondrial shape and motility and promotes axon function recovery. In contrast, preconditioning WM by applying Mdivi-1 only before OGD fails to conserve mitochondrial shape or motility and fails to benefit axon function. Our findings suggest that inhibition of mitochondrial fission during ischemia promotes axon function recovery, but is not sufficient to precondition WM against ischemia. These results raise caution in that approaches to preconditioning neuronal cell bodies may not successfully translate into functional improvement following ischemia.

Abstract
Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) by repeated brief cycles of limb ischemia/reperfusion may reduce myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury and improve patients‘ prognosis after elective coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. The signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)5 activation in left ventricular myocardium is associated with RIPC´s cardioprotection. Cytokines and growth hormones typically activate STATs and could therefore act as humoral transfer factors of RIPC´s cardioprotection. We here determined arterial plasma concentrations of 25 different cytokines, growth hormones, and other factors which have previously been associated with cardioprotection, before (baseline)/after RIPC or placebo (n = 23/23), respectively, and before/after ischemic cardioplegic arrest in CABG patients. RIPC-induced protection was reflected by a 35% reduction of serum troponin I release. With the exception of interleukin-1α, none of the humoral factors changed in their concentrations after RIPC or placebo, respectively. Interleukin-1α, when normalized to baseline, increased after RIPC (280 ± 56%) but not with placebo (97 ± 15%). The interleukin-1α concentration remained increased until after ischemic cardioplegic arrest and was also higher than with placebo in absolute concentrations (25 ± 6 versus 16 ± 3 pg/mL). Only interleukin-1α possibly fulfills the criteria which would be expected from a substance to be released in response to RIPC and to protect the myocardium during ischemic cardioplegic arrest.

We have long accepted that exercise is 'good for us'; that - put more rigorously - moderate exercise is associated with not just aerobic fitness but also reduced morbidity and reduced mortality from cardiovascular disease and even malignancies. Caloric restriction (moderate hunger) and our exposure to dietary phytochemicals are also emerging as stresses which are 'good for us' in the same sense. This review focuses on an important extension of this concept: that stress localized within the body (e.g. in a limb) can induce resilience in tissues throughout the body. We describe evidence for the efficacy of two 'remote' protective interventions - remote ischemic conditioning and remote photobiomodulation - and discuss the mechanisms underlying their protective actions. While the biological phenomenon of remote tissue conditioning is only partially understood, it holds promise for protecting critical-to-life tissues while mitigating risks and practical barriers to direct conditioning of these tissues.

Abstract
Ischaemic preconditioning (IPC) provides myocardial resistance to ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injuries. The protection afforded by IPC is not limited to the target tissue but extends to remote tissues, suggesting a mechanism mediated by humoral factors. The aim of the present study was to identify the humoral factors that are responsible for the cardioprotection induced by the coronary effluent transferred from IPC to naïve hearts. Isolated rat hearts were submitted to IPC (three cycles of 5 min I/R) before 30-min global ischaemia and 60-min reperfusion. The coronary effluent (Efl_IPC) collected during IPC was fractionated by ultrafiltration in different molecular weight ranges (<3, 3-5, 5-10, 10-30, 30-50, and >50 kDa) and evaluated for cardioprotective effects by perfusion before I/R in naïve hearts. Only the <3, 5-10 and <10 kDa fractions of hydrophobic eluate reduced I/R injuries. The cardioprotective effect of the 5-10 fraction was blocked by KATP channel blockers and a PKC inhibitor. An Efl_IPC proteomic analysis revealed 14 cytoprotection-related proteins in 4-12 kDa peptides. HSP10 perfusion protected the heart against I/R injuries. These data provide insights into the mechanisms of cardioprotection in humoral factors released by IPC. Cardioprotection is afforded by hydrophobic peptides in the 4-12 kDa size range, which activate pathways that are dependent on PKC and KATP. Fourteen 4-12 kDa peptides were identified, suggesting a potential therapeutic role for these molecules in ischaemic diseases. One of these, HSP10, identified by mass spectrometry, reduced I/R injuries and may be a potential candidate as a therapeutic target.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES During aortic and cardiac surgery, risks for mortality and morbidity are inevitable. Surgical setups involving deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) are effective to achieve organ protection against ischemic injury. The aim of this study was to identify humoural factors mediating additive protective effects of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) in a porcine model of DHCA. DESIGN Twenty-two pigs were randomized into the RIPC group (n = 11) and the control group (n = 11). The RIPC group underwent four 5-minute hind limb ischemia-reperfusion cycles prior to cardiopulmonary bypass and DHCA. All animals underwent identical surgical procedures including 60 min DHCA at 18 °C. Blood samples were collected from vena cava and sagittal sinus at several time points. After the 8-hour follow-up period, the brain, heart, and kidney tissue samples were collected for tissue analyses. RESULTS Serum levels of brain damage marker S100B recovered faster in the RIPC group, after 4 hours of the arrest, (p < .05). Systemic lactate levels were lower and cardiac index was higher in the RIPC group postoperatively. Immunohistochemical cerebellum regional scores of antioxidant response regulator Nrf2 were better in the RIPC group (mean: 1.1, IQR: 0.0-2.5) compared with the control group (mean: 0.0, IQR: 0.0-0.0), reaching borderline statistical significance (p = .064). RIPC induced detectable modulations of plasma proteome and metabolites. CONCLUSIONS The faster recovery of S100B, lower systemic lactate levels and favourable regional antioxidant response suggest possible neuronal cellular and mitochondrial protection by RIPC, whereas better cardiac index underlines functional effects of RIPC. The exact humoural factor remains unclear.

Abstract
Brief periods of ischaemia followed by reperfusion of one tissue such as skeletal muscle can confer subsequent protection against ischaemia-induced injury in other organs such as the heart. Substantial evidence of this effect has been accrued in experimental animal models. However, the translation of this phenomenon to its use as a therapy in ischaemic disease has been largely disappointing without clear evidence of benefit in humans. Recently, innovative experimental observations have suggested that remote ischaemic preconditioning (RIPC) may be largely mediated through hypoxic inhibition of the oxygen-sensing enzyme PHD2, leading to enhanced levels of alpha-ketoglutarate and subsequent increases in circulating kynurenic acid (KYNA). These observations provide vital insights into the likely mechanisms of RIPC and a route to manipulating this mechanism towards therapeutic benefit by direct alteration of KYNA, alpha-ketoglutarate levels, PHD inhibition, or pharmacological targeting of the incompletely understood cardioprotective mechanism activated by KYNA.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases and especially myocardial infarctions are responsible for a high morbidity and mortality throughout Europe. An essential aspect of myocardial infarction is ischemia/reperfusion injury which represents the necrosis of myocytes following reperfusion. One possible option to counteract ischemia/reperfusion injury is the much researched process of remote ischemic conditioning (RIC), whereby a certain tissue (e.g. skeletal muscle) is subjected to several cycles of short periods (e.g. 5 min) of ischemia and reperfusion and leads to the protection of another organ (e.g. the heart). Despite substantial efforts to elucidate the underlying mechanisms during the last decades, this phenomenon is not yet completely understood. Clinical studies mainly concentrated on laboratory and radiological parameters, which led to better understanding of RIC; however, large clinical studies evaluating the possible influence on mortality are still lacking. This review article provides an introduction to RIC and summarizes the current understanding of known pathomechanisms and the results of important clinical studies.

Abstract
Aims Although the nature of the humoral factor which mediates cardioprotection established by remote ischaemic conditioning (RIc) remains unknown, parasympathetic (vagal) mechanisms appear to play a critical role. As the production and release of many gut hormones is modulated by the vagus nerve, here we tested the hypothesis that RIc cardioprotection is mediated by the actions of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). Methods and results A rat model of myocardial infarction (coronary artery occlusion followed by reperfusion) was used. Remote ischaemic pre- (RIPre) or perconditioning (RIPer) was induced by 15 min occlusion of femoral arteries applied prior to or during the myocardial ischaemia. The degree of RIPre and RIPer cardioprotection was determined in conditions of cervical or subdiaphragmatic vagotomy, or following blockade of GLP-1 receptors (GLP-1R) using specific antagonist Exendin(9–39). Phosphorylation of PI3K/AKT and STAT3 was assessed. RIPre and RIPer reduced infarct size by ∼50%. In conditions of bilateral cervical or subdiaphragmatic vagotomy RIPer failed to establish cardioprotection. GLP-1R blockade abolished cardioprotection induced by either RIPre or RIPer. Exendin(9–39) also prevented RIPre-induced AKT phosphorylation. Cardioprotection induced by GLP-1R agonist Exendin-4 was preserved following cervical vagotomy, but was abolished in conditions of M3 muscarinic receptor blockade. Conclusions These data strongly suggest that GLP-1 functions as a humoral factor of remote ischaemic conditioning cardioprotection. This phenomenon requires intact vagal innervation of the visceral organs and recruitment of GLP-1R-mediated signalling. Cardioprotection induced by GLP-1R activation is mediated by a mechanism involving M3 muscarinic receptors.

Abstract
Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) is a robust neuroprotective phenomenon in which a brief period of cerebral ischemia confers transient tolerance to subsequent ischemic challenge. Research on IPC has implicated cellular, molecular, and systemic elements of the immune response in this phenomenon. Potent molecular mediators of IPC include innate immune signaling pathways such as Toll-like receptors and type 1 interferons. Brain ischemia results in release of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines that orchestrate the neuroinflammtory response, resolution of inflammation, and transition to neurological recovery and regeneration. Cellular mediators of IPC include microglia, the resident central nervous system immune cells, astrocytes, and neurons. All of these cell types engage in cross-talk with each other using a multitude of signaling pathways that modulate activation/suppression of each of the other cell types in response to ischemia. As the postischemic neuroimmune response evolves over time there is a shift in function toward provision of trophic support and neuroprotection. Peripheral immune cells infiltrate the central nervous system en masse after stroke and are largely detrimental, with a few subtypes having beneficial, protective effects, though the role of these immune cells in IPC is largely unknown. The role of neural progenitor cells in IPC-mediated neuroprotection is another active area of investigation as is the role of microglial proliferation in this setting. A mechanistic understanding of these molecular and cellular mediators of IPC may not only facilitate more effective direct application of IPC to specific clinical scenarios, but also, more broadly, reveal novel targets for therapeutic intervention in stroke.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) is an attractive therapeutic procedure for protecting the heart against ischemia/reperfusion injury. Despite evidence of humoral mediators transported through the circulation playing a critical role, their actual identities so far remain unknown. We sought to identify plasmatic RIPC-induced metabolites that may play a role. METHODS AND RESULTS Rat plasma samples from RIPC and control groups were analyzed using a targeted metabolomic approach aimed at measuring 188 metabolites. Principal component analysis and orthogonal partial least-squares discriminant analysis were used to identify the metabolites that discriminated between groups. Plasma samples from 50 patients subjected to RIPC were secondarily explored to confirm the results obtained in rats. Finally, a combination of the metabolites that were significantly increased in both rat and human plasma was injected prior to myocardial ischemia/reperfusion in rats. In the rat samples, 124 molecules were accurately quantified. Six metabolites (ornithine, glycine, kynurenine, spermine, carnosine, and serotonin) were the most significant variables for marked differentiation between the RIPC and control groups. In human plasma, analysis confirmed ornithine decrease and kynurenine and glycine increase following RIPC. Injection of the glycine and kynurenine alone or in combination replicated the protective effects of RIPC seen in rats. CONCLUSIONS We have hereby reported significant variations in a cocktail of amino acids and biogenic amines after remote ischemic preconditioning in both rat and human plasma.

Abstract
An emerging treatment modality for reducing damage caused by ischaemia–reperfusion injury is ischaemic conditioning. This technique induces short periods of ischaemia that have been found to protect against a more significant ischaemic insult. Remote ischaemic conditioning (RIC) can be administered more conveniently and safely, by inflation of a pneumatic blood pressure cuff to a suprasystolic pressure on a limb. Protection is then transferred to a remote organ via humoral and neural pathways. The diabetic state is particularly vulnerable to ischaemia–reperfusion injury, and ischaemia is a significant cause of many diabetic complications, including the diabetic foot. Despite this, studies utilising ischaemic conditioning and RIC in type 2 diabetes have often been disappointing. A newer strategy, repeat RIC, involves the repeated application of short periods of limb ischaemia over days or weeks. It has been demonstrated that this improves endothelial function, skin microcirculation, and modulates the systemic inflammatory response. Repeat RIC was recently shown to be beneficial for healing in lower extremity diabetic ulcers. This article summarises the mechanisms of RIC, and the impact that type 2 diabetes may have upon these, with the role of neural mechanisms in the context of diabetic neuropathy a focus. Repeat RIC may show more promise than RIC in type 2 diabetes, and its potential mechanisms and applications will also be explored. Considering the high costs, rates of chronicity and serious complications resulting from diabetic lower extremity ulceration, repeat RIC has the potential to be an effective novel advanced therapy for this condition.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy of remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) on organ protection after hemorrhagic shock/resuscitation (S/R) in a murine model. BACKGROUND Ischemia/reperfusion resulting from S/R contributes to multiple organ dysfunction in trauma patients. We hypothesized that RIC before shock (remote ischemic preconditioning), during shock (remote ischemic "PER"conditioning), or during resuscitation (remote ischemic "POST"conditioning) could confer organ protection. We also tested the effect of ischemic conditioned plasma on neutrophil migration in vivo using transgenic zebrafish models. METHODS C57Bl/6 mice were subjected to S/R with or without hindlimb RIC. Serum levels of alanine aminotransferase and tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and liver tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin 1β mRNA were evaluated. In some experiments, lung protein leakage, cytokines, and myeloperoxidase activity were investigated. Plasma from mice subjected to RIC was microinjected into zebrafish, and neutrophil migration was assessed after tailfin transection or copper sulfate treatment. RESULTS In mice subjected to S/R, remote ischemic preconditioning, remote ischemic "PER"conditioning, and remote ischemic "POST"conditioning each significantly reduced serum alanine aminotransferase and liver mRNA expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin 1β and improved liver histology compared with control S/R mice. Lung injury and inflammation were also significantly reduced in mice treated with remote ischemic preconditioning. Zebrafish injected with plasma or dialyzed plasma (fraction >14 kDa) from ischemic conditioned mice had reduced neutrophil migration toward sites of injury compared with zebrafish injected with control plasma. CONCLUSIONS RIC protects against S/R-induced organ injury, in part, through a humoral factor(s), which alters neutrophil function. The beneficial effects of RIC, performed during the S/R phase of care, suggest a role for its application early in the posttrauma period.

Abstract
Advances in mass spectrometry technology and bioinformatics using clinical human samples have expanded quantitative proteomics in cardiovascular research. There are two major proteomic strategies: namely, "gel-based" or "gel-free" proteomics coupled with either "top-down" or "bottom-up" mass spectrometry. Both are introduced into the proteomic analysis using plasma or serum sample targeting 'biomarker" searches of aortic aneurysm and tissue samples, such as from the aneurysmal wall, calcific aortic valve, or myocardial tissue, investigating pathophysiological protein interactions and post-translational modifications. We summarize the proteomic studies that analyzed human samples taken during cardiovascular surgery to investigate disease processes, in order to better understand the system-wide changes behind known molecular factors and specific signaling pathways.

Abstract
Several lines of evidence suggest that, besides being a strong independent predictor of the occurrence of primary coronary events, a low plasma high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol level is also associated with short- and long-term unfavorable prognosis in patients, who have recovered from a myocardial infarction, suggesting a direct detrimental effect of low HDL on post-ischemic myocardial function. Experiments performed in ex vivo and in vivo models of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury have clearly shown that HDL are able to preserve cardiac function when given before ischemia or at reperfusion; the protective effects of HDL against I/R injury have been also confirmed in other tissues and organs, as brain and hind limb. HDL were shown to act on coronary endothelial cells, by limiting the increase of endothelium permeability and promoting vasodilation and neoangiogenesis, on white blood cells, by reducing their infiltration into the ischemic tissue and the release of pro-inflammatory and matrix-degrading molecules, and on cardiomyocytes, by preventing the activation of the apoptotic cascade. Synthetic HDL retains the cardioprotective activity of plasma-derived HDL and may become a useful adjunctive therapy to improve clinical outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndromes or undergoing coronary procedures.

Abstract
In remote ischemic conditioning (RIC), several cycles of ischemia and reperfusion render distant organ and tissues more resistant to the ischemia-reperfusion injury. The intermittent ischemia can be applied before the ischemic insult in the target site (remote ischemic preconditioning), during the ischemic insult (remote ischemic perconditioning) or at the onset of reperfusion (remote ischemic postconditioning). The mechanisms of RIC have not been completely defined yet; however, these mechanisms must be represented by the release of humoral mediators and/or the activation of a neural reflex. RIC has been discovered in the heart, and has been arising great enthusiasm in the cardiovascular field. Its efficacy has been evaluated in many clinical trials, which provided controversial results. Our incomplete comprehension of the mechanisms underlying the RIC could be impairing the design of clinical trials and the interpretation of their results. In the present review we summarize current knowledge about RIC pathophysiology and the data about its cardioprotective efficacy.

Abstract
Reperfusion is mandatory to salvage ischemic myocardium from infarction, but reperfusion per se contributes to injury and ultimate infarct size. Therefore, cardioprotection beyond that by timely reperfusion is needed to reduce infarct size and improve the prognosis of patients with acute myocardial infarction. The conditioning phenomena provide such cardioprotection, insofar as brief episodes of coronary occlusion/reperfusion preceding (ischemic preconditioning) or following (ischemic postconditioning) sustained myocardial ischemia with reperfusion reduce infarct size. Even ischemia/reperfusion in organs remote from the heart provides cardioprotection (remote ischemic conditioning). The present review characterizes the signal transduction underlying the conditioning phenomena, including their physical and chemical triggers, intracellular signal transduction, and effector mechanisms, notably in the mitochondria. Cardioprotective signal transduction appears as a highly concerted spatiotemporal program. Although the translation of ischemic postconditioning and remote ischemic conditioning protocols to patients with acute myocardial infarction has been fairly successful, the pharmacological recruitment of cardioprotective signaling has been largely disappointing to date.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) has been applied in paediatric cardiac surgery. We have demonstrated that RIPC induces a proteomic response in plasma of healthy volunteers. We tested the hypothesis that RIPC modifies the proteomic response in children undergoing Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) repair. METHODS AND RESULTS Children (n=40) were randomized to RIPC and control groups. Blood was sampled at baseline, after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and 6, 12 and 24h post-CPB. Plasma was analysed by liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) in an untargeted approach. Peptides demonstrating differential expression (p<0.01) were subjected to tandem LC-MS/MS and protein identification. Corresponding proteins were identified using the NCBI protein database. There was no difference in age (7.3±3.5vs6.8±3.6 months)(p=0.89), weight (7.7±1.8vs7.5±1.9 kg)(p=0.71), CPB time (104±7vs94±7 min)(p=0.98) or aortic cross-clamp time (83±22vs75±20 min)(p=0.36). No peptides were differentially expressed at baseline or immediately after CPB. There were 48 peptides with higher expression in the RIPC group 6h post-CPB. This was no longer evident at 12 or 24h, with one peptide down-regulated in the RIPC group. The proteins identified were: inter-alpha globulin inhibitor (42.0±11.8 vs 820.8±181.1, p=0.006), fibrinogen preproprotein (59.3±11.2 vs 1192.6±278.3, p=0.007), complement-C3 precursor (391.2±160.9 vs 5385.1±689.4, p=0.0005), complement C4B (151.5±17.8 vs 4587.8±799.2, p=0.003), apolipoprotein B100 (53.4±8.3 vs 1364.5±278.2, p=0.005) and urinary proteinase inhibitor (358.6±74.9 vs 5758.1±1343.1, p=0.009). These proteins are involved in metabolism, haemostasis, immunity and inflammation. CONCLUSIONS We provided the first comprehensive analysis of RIPC-induced proteomic changes in children undergoing surgery. The proteomic changes peak 6h post-CPB and return to baseline within 24h of surgery. TRIAL REGISTRATION ACTR.org.au ACTRN12610000496011.

Plasma from human volunteers subjected to remote ischemic preconditioning protects human endothelial cells from hypoxia-induced cell damage. Basic Res Cardiol 2015; 110:17.

Abstract
Short repeated cycles of peripheral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) can protect distant organs from subsequent prolonged I/R injury; a phenomenon known as remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC). A RIPC-mediated release of humoral factors might play a key role in this protection and vascular endothelial cells are potential targets for these secreted factors. In the present study, RIPC-plasma obtained from healthy male volunteers was tested for its ability to protect human umbilical endothelial cells (HUVEC) from hypoxia–induced cell damage. 10 healthy male volunteers were subjected to a RIPC-protocol consisting of 4 × 5 min inflation/deflation of a blood pressure cuff located at the upper arm. Plasma was collected before (T0; control), directly after (T1) and 1 h after (T2) the RIPC procedure. HUVEC were subjected to 24 h hypoxia damage and simultaneously incubated with 5 % of the respective RIPC-plasma. Cell damage was evaluated by lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)-measurements. Western blot experiments of hypoxia inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF1alpha), phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 (STAT5), protein kinase B (AKT) and extracellular signal-related kinase 1/2 (ERK-1/2) were performed. Furthermore, the concentrations of hVEGF were evaluated in the RIPC-plasma by sandwich ELISA. Hypoxia–induced cell damage was significantly reduced by plasma T1 (p = 0.02 vs T0). The protective effect of plasma T1 was accompanied by an augmentation of the intracellular HIF1alpha (p = 0.01 vs T0) and increased phosphorylation of ERK-1/2 (p = 0.03 vs T0). Phosphorylation of AKT and STAT5 remained unchanged. Analysis of the protective RIPC-plasma T1 showed significantly reduced levels of hVEGF (p = 0.01 vs T0). RIPC plasma protects endothelial cells from hypoxia–induced cell damage and humoral mediators as well as intracellular HIF1alpha may be involved.

Abstract
In 1993, Przyklenk and colleagues made the intriguing experimental observation that ‘brief ischemia in one vascular bed also protects remote, virgin myocardium from subsequent sustained coronary artery occlusion’ and that this effect ‘…. may be mediated by factor(s) activated, produced, or transported throughout the heart during brief ischemia/reperfusion’. This seminal study laid the foundation for the discovery of ‘remote ischemic conditioning’ (RIC), a phenomenon in which the heart is protected from the detrimental effects of acute ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI), by applying cycles of brief ischemia and reperfusion to an organ or tissue remote from the heart. The concept of RIC quickly evolved to extend beyond the heart, encompassing inter-organ protection against acute IRI. The crucial discovery that the protective RIC stimulus could be applied non-invasively, by simply inflating and deflating a blood pressure cuff placed on the upper arm to induce cycles of brief ischemia and reperfusion, has facilitated the translation of RIC into the clinical setting. Despite intensive investigation over the last 20 years, the underlying mechanisms continue to elude researchers. In the 8th Biennial Hatter Cardiovascular Institute Workshop, recent developments in the field of RIC were discussed with a focus on new insights into the underlying mechanisms, the diversity of non-cardiac protection, new clinical applications, and large outcome studies. The scientific advances made in this field of research highlight the journey that RIC has made from being an intriguing experimental observation to a clinical application with patient benefit.

Abstract
Despite major advances in early revascularization techniques, cardiovascular diseases are still the leading cause of death worldwide, and myocardial infarctions contribute heavily to this. Over the past decades, it has become apparent that reperfusion of blood to a previously ischemic area of the heart causes damage in and of itself, and that this ischemia reperfusion induced injury can be reduced by up to 50% by mechanical manipulation of the blood flow to the heart. The recent discovery of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) provides a non-invasive approach of inducing this cardioprotection at a distance. Finding its endogenous mediators and their operative mode is an important step toward increasing the ischemic tolerance. The release of humoral factor(s) upon RIPC was recently demonstrated and several candidate proteins were published as possible mediators of the cardioprotection. Before clinical applicability, these potential biomarkers and their efficiency must be validated, a task made challenging by the large heterogeneity in reported data and results. Here, in an attempt to reproduce and provide more experimental data on these mediators, we conducted an unbiased in-depth analysis of the human plasma proteome before and after RIPC. From the 68 protein markers reported in the literature, only 28 could be mapped to manually reviewed (Swiss-Prot) protein sequences. 23 of them were monitored in our untargeted experiment. However, their significant regulation could not be reproducibly estimated. In fact, among the 394 plasma proteins we accurately quantified, no significant regulation could be confidently and reproducibly assessed. This indicates that it is difficult to both monitor and reproduce published data from experiments exploring for RIPC induced plasma proteomic regulations, and suggests that further work should be directed towards small humoral factors. To simplify this task, we made our proteomic dataset available via ProteomeXchange, where scientists can mine for novel potential targets.

Abstract
The incidence of congenital cardiac abnormalities remains high. Paediatric patients with congenital cardiac defects often require surgery at a young age. The surgeries are often long and complex, rendering this population particularly vulnerable to the deleterious effects of cardiopulmonary bypass and cardiac surgery. The search for cardioprotective strategies is ongoing in an attempt to reduce the morbidity in this population. In the post-genomic era, it is apparent that simply determining the genomic sequences holds little diagnostic potential and means to determine progression of disease and response to treatment. The field of proteomics is expanding and application of proteomic techniques in the clinical setting holds great potential to advance our understanding of the proteomic changes involved in specific disease stages. This review will assess the application of proteomic techniques in the setting of paediatric cardiac surgery and highlight the need to obtain a clear understanding of the role of various proteins in children with cardiac conditions. The success and challenges of the available proteomic technology will be discussed as well as the future potential of proteomic methods for advancing our understanding of protein changes in children requiring cardiac surgery.

Abstract
Recent findings indicate that apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I) may be a protective humoral mediator involved in remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC). This study sought to determine if ApoA-I mediates its protective effects via the RISK and SAFE signaling pathways implicated in RIPC. Wistar rats were allocated to one of the following groups. Control: rats were subjected to myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) without any further intervention; RIPC: four cycles of limb I/R were applied prior to myocardial ischemia; ApoA-I: 10 mg/Kg of ApoA-I were intravenously injected prior to myocardial ischemia; ApoA-I + inhibitor: pharmacological inhibitors of RISK/SAFE pro-survival kinase (Akt, ERK1/2 and STAT-3) were administered prior to ApoA-I injection. Infarct size was significantly reduced in the RIPC group compared to Control. Similarly, ApoA-I injection efficiently protected the heart, recapitulating RIPC-induced cardioprotection. The ApoA-I protective effect was associated with Akt and GSK-3β phosphorylation and substantially inhibited by pretreatment with Akt and ERK1/2 inhibitors. Pretreatment with ApoA-I in a rat model of I/R recapitulates RIPC-induced cardioprotection and shares some similar molecular mechanisms with those of RIPC-involved protection of the heart.
