摘要
Reduction of cAMP has been implicated in the protection of ischemic preconditioning (IP), but until now, this possibility has not been directly addressed. In this study, we found that in the in vivo rabbit heart, 10 to 30 minutes of sustained regional ischemia was accompanied by a nearly twofold rise in cAMP levels. This increase in cAMP was attenuated when sustained ischemia was preceded by IP induced with a single cycle of transient ischemia and reperfusion (TI/R) and prevented when ischemia was preceded by three cycles of TI/R. The mechanism of cAMP reduction by IP does not involve activation of protein kinase C (PKC), since the PKC inhibitor polymyxin B (24 mg/kg) did not raise cAMP levels during sustained ischemia in IP hearts. Furthermore, this effect is also not mediated by reduced responsiveness of the beta- adrenergic effector pathway, since both nonischemic hearts and hearts subjected to three cycles of TI/R exhibited similar increases in cAMP in response to 5 mu g/kg isoproterenol. However, propranolol (0.75 mg/kg) abolished the rise in cAMP levels observed during sustained ischemia in control hearts but did not reduce cAMP levels further in IP hearts. These data indicate that the ischemia-induced rise in cAMP levels in control hearts was mediated by activation of the beta-adrenergic receptor. Taken together with data demonstrating that beta-adrenergic responsive-ness was not affected by IP, these data support the conclusion that the lack of elevation in cAMP levels observed during sustained ischemia in IP hearts is mediated by an attenuation of norepinephrine release. To examine whether the protection of IP against necrosis was mediated by the lack of elevation in cAMP levels, we determined whether the infarct size-limiting effect of IP could be blocked by NKH477, an activator of adenylyl cyclase. Four groups of rabbits were subjected to 30 minutes of in vivo regional ischemia and 90 minutes of reperfusion. Control hearts (n=10) had 53.6+/-5.5% infarction of the area at risk. IP with three cycles of transient ischemia limited infarct size to 3.2+/-1.3% (n=13, P<.0001). NKH477 (45 mu g/kg) increased average cAMP levels in IP hearts during sustained ischemia to levels similar to those in untreated control hearts. However, NKH477 did not block IP (50.2+/-7.7% of the area at risk was infarcted in the control + NKH477 group [n = 10] versus 10.0+/-5.9% in the IP+NKH477 group [n=7], P<.05). Therefore, we conclude that although IP lowers cAMP levels during sustained ischemia, this effect is not necessary for its protection against necrosis, since raising cAMP does not block this protection of IP.
