Ischemic Pre- and Post Conditioning has pronounced effects on Gene Expression Profiles in the Rat Liver after Ischemia/Reperfusion

ABSTRACT: Ischemia/reperfusion injuries is a known complication to hepatic surgery. Ischemic pre- (IPC) and postconditioning (IPO) protects the liver against ischemia/reperfusion-injuries. Expression profiling were performed on liver biopsies seeking to identify molecular mediators of the protective properties. 48 rats were divided into 5 groups; sham (n=8), IRI (n=10), IPC (n=10), IPO (n=10) and IPC+IPO (n=10). All rats except sham rats were subjected to 30 min of total liver ischemia and 30 min of reperfusion before liver biopsies were sampled. In the IPC group, liver ischemia was preceded by 10 min of hepatic ischemia, followed by 10 min of reperfusion. IPO were performed by three cycles of 30 sec of reperfusion and 30 sec of ischemia, applied immediately after the 30 min of total liver ischemia. In the IPC+IPO group the two interventions were combined.

Project description:Background: Ischemic preconditioning (IPC), i.e., brief periods of ischemia, protect the heart from subsequent prolonged ischemic injury, and reduces infarction size. Myocardial stunning refers to transient loss of contractility in the heart after myocardial ischemia that recovers without causing permanent damage. The relationship between IPC and myocardial stunning remains incompletely understood. Purpose: The primary aim of this study was to examine the effects of IPC on the relationship between ischemia duration, stunning, and infarct size in an ischemia-reperfusion injury model. The secondary aim of the study was to examine to which extent the phosphoproteomic changes induced by IPC relate to myocardial contractile function. Methods: Rats were subjected to different durations of left anterior descending artery (LAD) occlusion, with or without preceding IPC. Echocardiograms were acquired at 4 and 48 hours to assess cardiac contraction in the affected myocardial segment. Reversible akinesia was defined as the presence of myocardial akinesia at 4 hours that resolved by 48 hours; and was considered to represent myocardial stunning. Infarction size was evaluated using triphenyl tetrazolium chloride staining. Phosphoproteomic analysis was performed in heart tissue from preconditioned and non-preconditioned animals using nano-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Results: Reversible akinesia was observed in a majority of the rats that were subjected to IPC and subsequently exposed to ischemia of 13.5 or 15 minutes of ischemia (83.3% [n/N] and 66.6% [n/N] respectively). Among rats without IPC, who were exposed to either 10, 11, 12 or 13.5 minutes of ischemia, reversible akinesia was observed in 0% (n/N), 17% (2/12), 0% (n/N) and 0% (n/N) of rats (p<0.001). Phosphoproteomic analysis revealed significant differential regulation of 809 phosphopeptides between IPC and non-IPC groups, with significant associations with the sarcomere, Z-disc, and actin binding. Conclusion: Our study shows that IPC preferentially induces changes in phosphosites of proteins involved in myocardial contraction, and both increases the incidence of reversible post-ischemic myocardial stunning after ischemia-reperfusion injury and reduces infarction size.
