NO has been advocated as an adjunct to cardioplegia solutions. However, NO undergoes a rapid biradical reaction with superoxide anions to produce peroxynitrite (ONOO(-)). ONOO(-) in crystalloid cardioplegia solution induces injury to coronary endothelium and to systolic function after cardioplegia and reperfusion. However, ONOO(-) may be degraded to less lethal or cardioprotective intermediates with glutathione (GSH) in reactions separate from its well known antioxidant effects. We hypothesized that GSH detoxifies ONOO(-) and reverses defects in endothelial function and systolic function when present in crystalloid cardioplegia.
In anesthetized dogs on cardiopulmonary bypass, a 45-minute period of global normothermic ischemia was followed by 60 minutes of intermittent cold crystalloid cardioplegia (Plegisol) and 2 hours of reperfusion. The cardioplegia solution contained 5 micromol/L authentic ONOO(-); catalase was included to attenuate the potential antioxidant effects of GSH and to unmask the effects on ONOO(-). In 1 group (CP+GSH, n=5), the cardioplegia contained 500 micromol/L GSH, whereas 1 group received crystalloid cardioplegia without GSH (CCP, n=6). There were no group differences in postcardioplegia left ventricular systolic function (end-systolic pressure-volume relation, impedance catheter: CCP 10.0+/-2.4 versus CP+GSH 10.6+/-1.3 mm Hg/mL) or diastolic chamber stiffness (ss-coefficient: CCP 0.35+/-0.2 versus CP+GSH 0.31+/-0.18). Myocardial neutrophil accumulation (myeloperoxidase activity) was attenuated in CP+GSH versus CCP (2.2+/-0.7 versus 5.4+/-1.2, P:<0.05). In postexperimental coronary arteries, maximal endothelium-dependent relaxation was greater in CP+GSH than in CCP (118+/-6% versus 92+/-5%, P:<0.05), with a smaller EC(50) value (-7. 10+/-0.05 versus -6.98+/-0.03, respectively, P:<0.05). Smooth muscle relaxation was complete in both groups. The adherence of neutrophils to postexperimental coronary arteries as a measure of endothelial function was less in CP+GSH than in CCP (98+/-18 versus 234+/-36 neutrophils/mm(2), P:<0.05). Nitrosoglutathione, a byproduct of the reaction between ONOO(-) and GSH, was greater in CP+GSH than in CCP (4.1+/-2.3 versus 0.4+/-0.2 microg/mL, P:<0.05).
GSH in crystalloid cardioplegia detoxifies ONOO(-) and forms cardioprotective nitrosoglutathione, resulting in attenuated neutrophil adherence and selective endothelial protection through the inhibition of neutrophil-mediated damage.
一氧化氮(NO)已被提倡作为心脏停搏液的添加剂。然而,NO与超氧阴离子发生快速双自由基反应生成过氧亚硝酸盐(ONOO⁻)。晶体心脏停搏液中的ONOO⁻在心脏停搏和再灌注后会导致冠状动脉内皮损伤和收缩功能受损。然而,在与其众所周知的抗氧化作用无关的反应中,ONOO⁻可能会被谷胱甘肽(GSH)降解为致死性较低或具有心脏保护作用的中间产物。我们假设,当GSH存在于晶体心脏停搏液中时,它能使ONOO⁻解毒,并逆转内皮功能和收缩功能的缺陷。
在体外循环下的麻醉犬中,进行45分钟的全身常温缺血,随后进行60分钟的间歇性冷晶体心脏停搏(Plasmalyte)和2小时的再灌注。心脏停搏液含有5 μmol/L的纯ONOO⁻;加入过氧化氢酶以减弱GSH的潜在抗氧化作用,并揭示其对ONOO⁻的影响。在一组(CP+GSH,n=5)中,心脏停搏液含有500 μmol/L的GSH,而另一组接受不含GSH的晶体心脏停搏液(CCP,n=6)。心脏停搏后左心室收缩功能(收缩末期压力-容积关系,阻抗导管:CCP为10.0±2.4,而CP+GSH为10.6±1.3 mmHg/mL)或舒张期心室僵硬度(ss系数:CCP为0.35±0.2,而CP+GSH为0.31±0.18)两组间无差异。与CCP相比,CP+GSH组心肌中性粒细胞聚集(髓过氧化物酶活性)减弱(2.2±0.7对5.4±1.2,P<0.05)。在实验后的冠状动脉中,CP+GSH组的最大内皮依赖性舒张大于CCP组(118±6%对92±5%,P<0.05),EC50值较小(分别为-7.10±0.05对-6.98±0.03,P<0.05)。两组平滑肌舒张均完全。作为内皮功能指标,CP+GSH组实验后冠状动脉中中性粒细胞的黏附少于CCP组(98±18对234±36个中性粒细胞/mm²,P<0.05)。ONOO⁻与GSH反应的副产物亚硝基谷胱甘肽在CP+GSH组中比CCP组中更高(4.1±2.3对0.4±0.2 μg/mL,P<0.05)。
晶体心脏停搏液中的GSH使ONOO⁻解毒并形成具有心脏保护作用的亚硝基谷胱甘肽,通过抑制中性粒细胞介导的损伤,导致中性粒细胞黏附减弱和选择性内皮保护。
