    Abstract: Recent evidence suggests that reactive oxygen species (ROS) promote proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle (VSMC) and endothelial cells (EC). We tested the hypothesis that ROS serve as crucial messengers during coronary collateral development. Dogs were subjected to brief (2 min), repetitive coronary artery occlusions (1/h, 8/day, 21 day duration) in the absence (occlusion, n = 8) or presence of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) (occlusion + NAC, n = 8). A sham group ( n = 8) was instrumented identically but received no occlusions. In separate experiments, ROS generation after a single 2-min coronary artery occlusion was assessed with dihydroethidium fluorescence. Coronary collateral blood flow (expressed as a percentage of normal zone flow) was significantly increased (71 ± 7%) in occlusion dogs after 21 days but remained unchanged (13 ± 3%) in sham dogs. Treatment with NAC attenuated increases in collateral blood flow (28 ± 8%). Brief coronary artery occlusion and reperfusion caused ROS production (256 ± 33% of baseline values), which was abolished with NAC (104 ± 12%). Myocardial interstitial fluid produced tube formation and proliferation of VSMC and EC in occlusion but not in NAC-treated or sham dogs. The results indicate that ROS are critical for the development of the coronary collateral circulation.

    Abstract: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) contribute to myocardial protection during ischemic preconditioning, but the role of the ROS in protection against ischemic injury produced by volatile anesthetics has only recently been explored. We tested the hypothesis that ROS mediate isoflurane-induced preconditioning in vivo. Methods Pentobarbital-anesthetized rabbits were instrumented for measurement of hemodynamics and were subjected to a 30 min coronary artery occlusion followed by 3 h reperfusion. Rabbits were randomly assigned to receive vehicle (0.9% saline), or the ROS scavengers N-acetylcysteine (NAC; 150 mg/kg) or N-2-mercaptopropionyl glycine (2-MPG; 1 mg. kg(-1).min(-1)), in the presence or absence of 1.0 minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) isoflurane. Isoflurane was administered for 30 min and then discontinued 15 min before coronary artery occlusion. A fluorescent probe for superoxide anion production (dihydroethidium, 2 mg) was administered in the absence of the volatile anesthetic or 5 min before exposure to isoflurane in 2 additional groups (n = 8). Myocardial infarct size and superoxide anion production were assessed using triphenyltetrazolium staining and confocal fluorescence microscopy, respectively. Results Isoflurane (P & lt; 0.05) decreased infarct size to 24 +/- 4% (mean +/- SEM; n = 10) of the left ventricular area at risk compared with control experiments (43 +/- 3%; n = 8). NAC (43 +/- 3%; n = 7) and 2-MPG (42 +/- 5%; n = 8) abolished this beneficial effect, but had no effect on myocardial infarct size (47 +/- 3%; n = 8 and 46 +/- 3; n = 7, respectively) when administered alone. Isoflurane increased superoxide anion production as compared with control experiments (28 +/- 12 -6 +/- 9 fluorescence units; P & lt; 0.05). Conclusions The results indicate that ROS produced following administration of isoflurane contribute to protection against myocardial infarction in vivo.

    Abstract: Whether the opening of mitochondrial adenosine triphosphate-regulated potassium (K(ATP)) channels is a trigger or an end effector of anesthetic-induced preconditioning is unknown. We tested the hypothesis that the opening of mitochondrial K(ATP) channels triggers isoflurane-induced preconditioning by generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) in vivo. Methods Pentobarbital-anesthetized rabbits were subjected to a 30-min coronary artery occlusion followed by 3 h reperfusion. Rabbits were randomly assigned to receive a vehicle (0.9% saline) or the selective mitochondrial K(ATP) channel blocker 5-hydroxydecanoate (5-HD) alone 10 min before or immediately after a 30-min exposure to 1.0 minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) isoflurane. In another series of experiments, the fluorescent probe dihydroethidium was used to assess superoxide anion production during administration of 5-HD or the ROS scavengers N-acetylcysteine or N-2-mercaptopropionyl glycine (2-MPG) in the presence or absence of 1.0 MAC isoflurane. Myocardial infarct size and superoxide anion production were measured using triphenyltetrazolium staining and confocal fluorescence microscopy, respectively. Results Isoflurane (P & lt; 0.05) decreased infarct size to 19 +/- 3% (mean +/- SEM) of the left ventricular area at risk as compared to the control (38 +/- 4%). 5-HD administered before but not after isoflurane abolished this beneficial effect (37 +/- 4% as compared to 24 +/- 3%). 5-HD alone had no effect on infarct size (42 +/- 3%). Isoflurane increased fluorescence intensity. Pretreatment with N-acetylcysteine, 2-MPG, or 5-HD before isoflurane abolished increases in fluorescence, but administration of 5-HD after isoflurane only partially attenuated increases in fluorescence produced by the volatile anesthetic agent. Conclusions The results indicate that mitochondrial K(ATP) channel opening acts as a trigger for isoflurane-induced preconditioning by generating ROS in vivo.
