The role of nitric oxide (NO), K(+)(ATP) channels, and cyclic GMP (cGMP) in preconditioning is unknown.
Isolated rabbit hearts were pretreated with the NO precursor L-arginine (L-Arg), both alone and after infusion of the NO synthetase inhibitor N(G)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME). Guanylate cyclase inhibitor methylene blue (MB) was infused prior to L-Arg in a separate group of hearts. To contrast the mechanisms of NO preconditioning and potassium channel opener (PCO) preconditioning, we infused the PCO pinacidil after L-NAME and the PCO blocker glibenclamide before L-Arg. Control hearts had no drug infused. The LAD coronary artery was occluded for 1 h and reperfused for 1 h in all hearts. Action potential duration (APD(50)), coronary flow (CF), and left ventricular developed pressure (DP) were measured, and infarct size (IS) was determined and expressed as a percentage of the area at risk.
L-Arg prolonged APD(50) at 60 min of reperfusion (94 +/- 6 ms vs 69 +/- 2 ms (control) vs 70 +/- 2 ms (L-NAME) vs 74 +/- 3 ms (MB), P < 0.05). L-Arg reduced IS compared with control (24 +/- 2% vs 49 +/- 3%, P < 0.05); this was reversed by either L-NAME (53 +/- 4%, P < 0.05) or MB (43 +/- 3%, P < 0.05), but not by glibenclamide (20 +/- 4%), unlike the increase in CF during L-Arg infusion, which was blocked by glibenclamide. Pinacidil infusion decreased IS (26 +/- 2%), but this effect was blocked by L-NAME (53 +/- 7%, P < 0.05 vs pinacidil), although L-NAME did not blunt the increase in CF. There were no significant differences in DP among groups.
L-Arginine preconditions the heart through NO generation, and this response is mediated through a cGMP-dependent mechanism, but is independent of the K(+)(ATP) channels. Coronary vasodilation is mediated through a mechanism different from that responsible for cardiomyocyte preconditioning.
一氧化氮(NO)、钾离子ATP通道(K(+)(ATP)通道)及环磷酸鸟苷(cGMP)在预处理中的作用尚不清楚。
分离的兔心脏分别单独用NO前体L-精氨酸(L-Arg)预处理,以及在注入NO合酶抑制剂N(G)-硝基-L-精氨酸甲酯(L-NAME)后用L-Arg预处理。在另一组心脏中,在L-Arg注入前先注入鸟苷酸环化酶抑制剂亚甲蓝(MB)。为对比NO预处理和钾通道开放剂(PCO)预处理的机制,我们在L-NAME注入后注入PCO匹那地尔,在L-Arg注入前注入PCO阻滞剂格列本脲。对照心脏不注入任何药物。所有心脏均将左前降支冠状动脉闭塞1小时,然后再灌注1小时。测量动作电位时程(APD(50))、冠状动脉血流量(CF)和左心室舒张末压(DP),并测定梗死面积(IS),以危险区域面积的百分比表示。
再灌注60分钟时,L-Arg使APD(50)延长(94±6毫秒,对照组为69±2毫秒,L-NAME组为70±2毫秒,MB组为74±3毫秒,P<0.05)。与对照组相比,L-Arg减小了梗死面积(24±2%对49±3%,P<0.05);L-NAME(53±4%,P<0.05)或MB(43±3%,P<0.05)均可逆转这一作用,但格列本脲不能(20±4%),与L-Arg注入期间CF增加被格列本脲阻断不同。注入匹那地尔减小了梗死面积(26±2%),但该作用被L-NAME阻断(53±7%,与匹那地尔相比P<0.05),尽管L-NAME并未减弱CF的增加。各组间DP无显著差异。
L-精氨酸通过生成NO对心脏进行预处理,该反应通过cGMP依赖机制介导,但不依赖于K(+)(ATP)通道。冠状动脉舒张是通过与心肌细胞预处理不同的机制介导的。
