Abstract:TNF alpha administration mimics ischemic preconditioning and neutralizing antibodies to TNF alpha and IL-1 beta abolish exercise-induced preconditioning. However, the pharmacology of TNF alpha's cardioprotective effects and associated downstream signaling events has not been delineated. We evaluated the temporal and dose specific requirements of TNF alpha to function as a preconditioning mimetic. Furthermore we postulated that the preconditioning effect of TNF alpha might be orchestrated via sphingolipid signaling. The cardioprotective effect of TNF alpha and the role of sphingolipid signaling were assessed using a classical preconditioning protocol in the isolated perfused rat heart with the measurement of infarct size and contractile function modulation in response to index ischemia and reperfusion. Recombinant TNF alpha at an optimal dose of 0.5 ng/ml mimicked ischemic preconditioning by reducing infarct size by 60%v non-preconditioned ischemia-reperfusion controls (P<0.01). The infarct sparing effect of TNF alpha required a wash-out period prior to the index ischemic-reperfusion. Moreover, the classic ischemic preconditioning antagonist such as 5-hydroxydecanoate abolished TNF alpha preconditioning. An inhibitor of the sphingolipid signaling pathway, N-oleoylethanolamine (NOE, 1 microm) attenuated ischemic and TNF alpha preconditioning. Likewise, cell-permeable C(2)-ceramide and sphingosine 1-phosphate (sphingolipid signaling intermediates) both reproduced the preconditioning cardioprotective phenotype. Finally, TNF alpha and ceramide conferred preconditioning-like cardioprotection against post-ischemic contractile dysfunction and this cardioprotective effect was attenuated by NOE. In contrast, NOE did not reverse ischemic preconditioning enhanced post-ischemic contractile function. In conclusion, TNF alpha activates preconditioning-like tolerance against infarction and contractile dysfunction. This cardioprotection is mediated, in part, via activation of novel sphingolipid signaling intermediates.
