ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to clarify the role of adenosine in preservation of ischemically damaged pancreas by the two-layer (Euro-Collins solution [EC]/perfluorochemical [PFC]) method using a canine model. Twenty-four-hour preservation of the pancreas graft subjected to 60-min warm ischemia was successful by the two-layer (EC with adenosine/PFC) method (4/5, 80%), but neither simple cold storage in EC (0/5, 0%), nor EC with adenosine (1/5, 20%), nor the two-layer (EC/PFC) method (0/3, 0%) was successful. Tissue ATP concentrations at the end of preservation by the two-layer (EC with adenosine/PFC) method were significantly higher compared with the two-layer (EC/PFC) method (7.23 +/- 2.17 vs. 1.56 +/- 0.40 mumol/g dry weight, P < 0.01). Studies with [2-3H]adenosine demonstrated that only part of adenosine was converted to inosine, hypoxanthine, and adenine, whereas the remainder was incorporated into adenine nucleotides in the pancreas graft. In addition, hypoxanthine, inosine, and adenine did not substitute for adenosine. We conclude that provision of adenosine to ischemically damaged pancreas during preservation by the two-layer (EC/PFC) method allows ATP synthesis within the graft via direct phosphorylation of adenosine. Metabolic processes vital to repair damaged cells and maintain cellular integrity can be maintained, which makes it possible to preserve ischemically damaged pancreas.
