Variation within Variation: Comparison of 24-h Rhythm in Rodent Infarct Size between Ischemia Reperfusion and Permanent Ligation.

ABSTRACT: The detrimental effects of myocardial infarction in humans and rodents have a 24-h rhythm. In some human cohorts however, rhythmicity was absent, while the time of maximum damage differs between cohorts. We hypothesized that the type of damage influences the 24-h rhythm in infarct size. Myocardial infarction was induced in 12-week-old C57BL/six mice at four different time-points during the day using either permanent ligation (PL) or 30-min of ischemia followed by reperfusion (IR), with a control group wherein no ligation was applied. Infarct size was measured by echocardiography and histology at a 1-month follow-up. Rhythmicity in infarct size was present in the PL group at the functional and histological level, with maximal damage occurring when the infarct was induced at noon. In the IR group, no circadian rhythm was found. The time of the coronary artery ligation determines the outcome of myocardial infarction. Our data showed that in rodents, the presence of circadian rhythmicity and time of peak infarct size varies between experimental setups.

Project description:PurposePlasma membranes constitute a gathering point for lipids and signaling proteins. Lipids are known to regulate the location and activity of signaling proteins under physiological and pathophysiological conditions. Membrane lipid therapies (MLTs) that gradually modify lipid content of plasma membranes have been developed to treat chronic disease; however, no MLTs have been developed to treat acute conditions such as reperfusion injury following myocardial infarction (MI) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). A fusogenic nanoliposome (FNL) that rapidly incorporates exogenous unsaturated lipids into endothelial cell (EC) membranes was developed to attenuate reperfusion-induced protein signaling. We hypothesized that administration of intracoronary (IC) FNL-MLT interferes with EC membrane protein signaling, leading to reduced microvascular dysfunction and infarct size (IS).MethodsUsing a myocardial ischemia/reperfusion swine model, the efficacy of FNL-MLT in reducing IS following a 60-min coronary artery occlusion was tested. Animals were randomized to receive IC Ringer's lactate solution with or without 10 mg/mL/min of FNLs for 10 min prior to reperfusion (n = 6 per group).ResultsThe IC FNL-MLT reduced IS (25.45 ± 16.4% vs. 49.7 ± 14.1%, P < 0.02) and enhanced regional myocardial blood flow (RMBF) in the ischemic zone at 15 min of reperfusion (2.13 ± 1.48 mL/min/g vs. 0.70 ± 0.43 mL/min/g, P < 0.001). The total cumulative plasma levels of the cardiac injury biomarker cardiac troponin I (cTnI) were trending downward but were not significant (999.3 ± 38.7 ng/mL vs. 1456.5 ± 64.8 ng/mL, P = 0.1867). However, plasma levels of heart-specific fatty acid binding protein (hFABP), another injury biomarker, were reduced at 2 h of reperfusion (70.3 ± 38.0 ng/mL vs. 137.3 ± 58.2 ng/mL, P = 0.0115). CONCLUSION: The IC FNL-MLT reduced IS compared to vehicle in this swine model. The FNL-MLT maybe a promising adjuvant to PCI in the treatment of acute MI.

Project description:BackgroundIschemic heart diseases are still a threat to human health. Human pluripotent stem cell-based transplantation exhibits great promise in cardiovascular disease therapy, including heart ischemia. The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of human embryonic stem cell-derived cardiomyocyte (ESC-CM) therapy in two heart ischemia models, namely, permanent ischemia (PI) and myocardial ischemia reperfusion (IR).MethodsHuman embryonic stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes were differentiated from engineered human embryonic stem cells (ESC-Rep) carrying green fluorescent protein (GFP), herpes simplex virus-1 thymidine kinase (HSVtk), and firefly luciferase (Fluc). Two different heart ischemia models were generated by the ligation of the left anterior descending artery (LAD), and ESC-Rep-derived cardiomyocytes (ESC-Rep-CMs) were transplanted into the mouse hearts. Cardiac function was analyzed to evaluate the outcomes of ESC-Rep-CM transplantation. Bioluminescence signal analysis was performed to assess the cell engraftment. Finally, the inflammation response was analyzed by real-time PCR and ELISA.ResultsCardiac function was significantly improved in the PI group with ESC-Rep-CM injection compared to the PBS-injected control, as indicated by increased left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and left ventricular fractional shortening (LVFS), as well as reduced fibrotic area. However, minimal improvement by ESC-Rep-CM injection was detected in the IR mouse model. We observed similar engraftment efficiency between PI and IR groups after ESC-Rep-CM injection. However, the restricted inflammation was observed after the injection of ESC-Rep-CMs in the PI group, but not in the IR group. Transplantation of ESC-Rep-CMs can partially preserve the heart function via regulating the inflammation response in the PI model, while little improvement of cardiac function in the IR model may be due to the less dynamic inflammation response by the mild heart damage.ConclusionsOur findings identified the anti-inflammatory effect of ESC-CMs as a possible therapeutic mechanism to improve cardiac function in the ischemic heart.
