缺血后处理对离体大鼠心肌线粒体功能的影响

目的：建立离体大鼠心肌缺血/再灌注损伤模型，观察缺血后处理对大鼠心肌线粒体功能的影响，并探讨线粒体ATP敏感性钾通道（mitoK_ATP）在缺血后处理心肌保护中的作用。方法：采用Langendorff装置建立离体大鼠心肌缺血/再灌注损伤模型。将SD大鼠随机分为对照组（C）、模型组（M）、缺血后处理组（IPO）、5-羟癸酸拮抗缺血后处理组（5-HD+IPO），每组8只。各组均先灌注平衡20 min，C组：续灌70 min；M组：缺血前灌注4 ℃ St.Thomas停跳液（10 mL/kg），全心缺血40 min，复灌30 min；IPO组：全心缺血40 min，复灌前先开放10 s，缺血10 s，反复6次，时间为2 min，复灌28 min；5-HD+IPO组：缺血后处理前给予含5-羟癸酸（100 μmol/L）的K-H液灌注5 min，余同IPO组，复灌23 min。观察各组平衡末与再灌注末心肌线粒体膜电位、氧自由基及呼吸功能的变化。结果：(1) 各组再灌注末心肌线粒体膜电位较平衡末显著降低，而C组显著高于其它3组，IPO组明显高于5-HD+IPO与M组，5-HD +IPO组高于M组。(2) 各组再灌注末与平衡末比较，心肌线粒体氧自由基含量显著升高，其中M组显著高于其它3组，5-HD +IPO组高于IPO及C组，IPO组高于C组。(3) 各组再灌注末较平衡末线粒体呼吸功能明显受损，且C组优于其它3组，IPO组优于5-HD+IPO与M组，5-HD +IPO组优于M组。结论：(1) 缺血后处理通过维护线粒体膜电位稳定、减少线粒体氧自由基的产生、保护线粒体呼吸链及功能，减轻心肌的再灌注损伤。(2) 5-HD不能完全阻断缺血后处理的心肌保护作用。(3) 缺血后处理的心肌保护效应可通过激活心肌mitoK_ATP实现，同时还有其它因素参与了缺血后处理的心肌保护。

Effect of ischemic post-conditioning on myocardial mitochondrial function in isolated rat heart

AIM: To investigate the protective effect of ischemic post-conditioning on isolated rat myocardial mitochondrial function during ischemia/reperfusion, and to study the role of mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium channel (mitoK_ATP) in myocardial protection. METHODS: Sprague-Dawley male rats were randomized into 4 groups (n=8 in each group): control group (C), model group (M), ischemic post-conditioning group (IPO) and 5-hydroxydecanoate plus IPO group (5-HD+IPO). The hearts isolated from the SD rats were mounted on a Langendorff apparatus and started with a 20-minute perfusion for equilibration. In C group, the hearts went on perfusion for another 70 min after equilibration. In M group, 4 ℃ St. Thomas cardioplegic solution was administered prior to ischemia, followed by ischemia for 40-minute, and reperfusion for another 30 min. In IPO group, the hearts underwent 40-minute global ischemia after equilibration, then perfusion for 10 s and ischemia for another 10 s. The procedure was repeated 6 times before 28-minute reperfusion. In 5-HD+IPO group, the hearts were perfused with 5-HD (100 μmol/L in K-H solution) and treated as that in IPO group, then reperfusion for 23 min. The reactive oxygen species (ROS), mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and respiratory function of myocardial mitochondria were measured at the ends of equilibration and reperfusion. RESULTS: (1) Compared with the data collected at the end of equilibrium, the MMP was obviously decreased at the end of reperfusion in all groups, The highest in C group. MMP in 5-HD+IPO group was markedly higher than that in IPO group and M group. MMP in IPO group was higher than that in M group. (2) In contrast to that at the end of equilibrium, ROS was obviously increased at the end of reperfusion in all groups. However, ROS was observably higher in M group than that in the other 3 groups, and ROS in 5-HD+IPO group was markedly higher than that in IPO group and C group. ROS in IPO group was higher than that in C group. (3) The respiratory function of mitochondria was obviously injured at the end of reperfusion in all groups. The arrangement of the mitochondrial respiratory function from the best to the worse was C group > IPO group > 5-HD+IPO group > M group. CONCLUSION: Ischemic post-conditioning attenuates myocardial reperfusion injury by maintaining the stability of MMP, decreasing the generation of ROS and preserving the respiratory chain function of mitochondria. The mitoK_ATP antagonist 5-HD can not completely block the myocardial protective effect of ischemic post-conditioning. Myocardial protective effect of ischemic post-conditioning may achieve by activating mitoK_ATP, meanwhile the other factors may also take part in the myocardial protective processes.
