ABSTRACT
Cardiac preconditioning (PC) and postconditioning (PoC) are powerful measures against the consequences of myocardial ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) injury. Mannitol-a hyperosmolar solution-is clinically used for treatment of intracranial and intraocular pressure or promotion of diuresis in renal failure. Next to these clinical indications, different organ-protective properties-e.g., perioperative neuroprotection-are described. However, whether Mannitol also confers cardioprotection via a pre- and/or postconditioning stimulus, possibly reducing consequences of I/R injury, remains to be seen. Therefore, in the present study we investigated whether (1) Mannitol-induced pre- and/or postconditioning induces myocardial infarct size reduction and (2) activation of mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium (mKATP) channels is involved in cardioprotection by Mannitol. Experiments were performed on isolated hearts of male Wistar rats via a pressure controlled Langendorff system, randomized into 7 groups. Each heart underwent 33 min of global ischemia and 60 min of reperfusion. Control hearts (Con) received Krebs-Henseleit buffer as vehicle only. Pre- and postconditioning was achieved by administration of 11 mmol/L Mannitol for 10 min before ischemia (Man-PC) or immediately at the onset of reperfusion (Man-PoC), respectively. In further groups, the mKATP channel blocker 5HD, was applied with and without Mannitol, to determine the potential underlying cardioprotective mechanisms. Primary endpoint was infarct size, determined by triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining. Mannitol significantly reduced infarct size both as a pre- (Man-PC) and postconditioning (Man-PoC) stimulus compared to control hearts (Man-PC 31 ± 4%; Man-PoC 35 ± 6%, each p < 0.05 vs. Con 57 ± 9%). The mKATP channel inhibitor completely abrogated the cardioprotective effect of Mannitol-induced pre- (5HD-PC-Man-PC 59 ± 8%, p < 0.05 vs. Man-PC) and postconditioning (5HD-PoC-Man-PoC 59 ± 10% vs. p < 0.05 Man-PoC). Infarct size was not influenced by 5HD itself (5HD-PC 60 ± 14%; 5HD-PoC 54 ± 14%, each ns vs. Con). This study demonstrates that Mannitol (1) induces myocardial pre- and postconditioning and (2) confers cardioprotection via activation of mKATP channels.
