ABSTRACT
Background:
Hypothermia (H), cardioplegia (CP), and both combined (HCP) are known to be protective against myocardial ischemia reperfusion (IR) injury. Mitochondria have molecular signaling mechanisms that are associated with both cell survival and cell death. In this study, we investigated the dynamic changes in proapoptotic and prosurvival signaling pathways mediating H, CP, or HCP-induced protection of mitochondrial function after acute myocardial IR injury.Methods:
Rats were divided into five groups. Each group consists of 3 subgroups based on a specific reperfusion time (5, 20, or 60 min) after a 25-min global ischemia. The time control (TC) groups were not subjected to IR but were perfused with 37 °C Krebs-Ringer's (KR) buffer, containing 4.5 mM K+, in a specific perfusion protocol that corresponded with the duration of each IR protocol. The IR group (control) was perfused for 20 min with KR, followed by 25-min global ischemia, and then KR reperfusion for 5, 20, or 60 min. The treatment groups were exposed to 17 °C H, 37 °C CP (16 mM K+), or HCP (17 °C + CP) for 5 min before ischemia and for 2 min on reperfusion before switching to 37 °C KR perfusion for the remainder of each of the reperfusion times. Cardiac function and mitochondrial redox state (NADH/FAD) were monitored online in the ex vivo hearts before, during, and after ischemia. Mitochondria were isolated at the end of each specified reperfusion time, and changes in O2 consumption, membrane potential (ΔΨ m), and Ca2+ retention capacity (CRC) were assessed using complex I and complex II substrates. In another set of hearts, mitochondrial and cytosolic fractions were isolated after a specified reperfusion time to conduct western blot assays to determine hexokinase II (HKII) and Bax binding/translocation to mitochondria, cytosolic pAkt levels, and cytochrome c (Cyto-c) release into the cytosol.Results:
H and HCP were more protective of mitochondrial integrity and, concomitantly, cardiac function than CP alone; H and HCP improved post-ischemic cardiac function by (1) maintaining mitochondrial bioenergetics, (2) maintaining HKII binding to mitochondria with an increase in pAkt levels, (3) increasing CRC, and (4) decreasing Cyto-c release during reperfusion. Bax translocation/binding to mitochondria was unaffected by any treatment, regardless of cardiac functional recovery.Conclusions:
Hypothermia preserved mitochondrial function and cardiac function, in part, by maintaining mitochondrial bioenergetics, by retaining HKII binding to mitochondria via upstream pAkt, and by reducing Cyto-c release independently of Bax binding to mitochondria.
