Myocardial cyclic AMP augmentation with high-dose PDEIII inhibitor in terminal warm blood cardioplegia.

چکیده
PURPOSE Phosphodiesterase (PDE) III inhibitors have been reported in various cellular protective activities via the cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) pathway. We investigated the effects of amrinone on ischemia/reperfusion injury and intracellular calcium (Ca2+) handling if utilized as a component of terminal warm blood cardioplegia (TWBCP). METHODS Anesthetized pig hearts were subjected to 90-min global ischemia with single-dose crystalloid cardioplegia, followed by 30-min reperfusion under cardiopulmonary bypass. The animals were divided into three groups according to the contents of TWBCP (n = 5 each): Control, no TWBCP; TWBCP, no additive; Amrinone, TWBCP with amrinone. The time course of cardiac function and biochemical samples were measured. Further, coronary perfusion and ventricular arrhythmia were evaluated during reperfusion. RESULTS Cardiac function improved with amrinone. Specifically, the amrinone group showed an increase of myocardial cAMP (p <0.05) and a suppression of creatine kinase, troponin-T, and lipid peroxide after reperfusion (p <0.05); many cases also showed much improvement of coronary perfusion and spontaneous resuscitation after global ischemia. CONCLUSION Ischemia and/or reperfusion deplete myocardial cAMP, leading to impaired Ca2+ handling and further to cardiac dysfunction. High-dose PDEIII inhibitor in TWBCP may replenish myocardial cAMP and promote rapid and sustained cardiac functional recovery with various cellular protective effects after open-heart surgery.

Cardioprotective effect afforded by transient exposure to phosphodiesterase III inhibitors: the role of protein kinase A and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase.
BACKGROUND Phosphodiesterase III inhibitors (PDEIII-Is) improve the hemodynamic status of heart failure via inotropic/vasodilatory effects attributable to the increase in intracellular cAMP level. Direct cardioprotection by PDEIII-Is and its underlying mechanisms, however, have not been identified. We tested the infarct size-limiting effect of PDEIII-Is and the roles of cAMP, protein kinase (PK...
متن کاملProblems of Cold Agglutinins in Cardiac Surgery: How to Manage Cardiopulmonary Bypass and Myocardial Protection
Cold agglutinins are of unique relevance in cardiac surgerybecause of the use of hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Cold autoimmune diseases are defined by the presence of abnormal circulating proteins (usually IgM or IgA antibodies) that agglutinate in response to a decrease in body temperature. These disorders include cryoglobulinemia and cold hemagglutinin disease.Immunoglobulin M aut...

متن کاملNon-depolarizing cardioplegia activates Ca2+-ATPase in sarcoplasmic reticulum after reperfusion.
OBJECTIVES Depolarizing cardioplegia is the most common method for myocardial preservation in cardiac operations. However, depolarizing cardioplegia causes depolarization of the membrane potential by extracellular hyperkalemia, resulting in depletion of energy stores and calcium overload. This study examined the hypothesis that non-depolarizing cardioplegia would provide superior protection com...
