Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) participate in cardioprotection of ischemic reperfusion (I/R) injury via preconditioning mechanisms. Mitochondrial ROS have been shown to play a key role in this process. Angiotensin II (Ang II) exhibits pharmacological preconditioning; however, the involvement of NAD(P)H oxidase, known as an ROS-generating enzyme responsive to Ang II stimuli, in the preconditioning process remains unclear. We compared the effects of 5-hydroxydecanoate (5-HD; an inhibitor of mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium channels), apocynin (an NAD(P)H oxidase inhibitor), and 4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl piperidinoxyl (tempol; a membrane permeable radical scavenger) on pharmacological preconditioning by Ang II in rat cardiac I/R injury in vivo. Treatment with a pressor dose of Ang II before a 30-minute coronary occlusion reduced infarct size as determined 24 hours after reperfusion. The protective effects of Ang II were eliminated by pretreatment with 5-HD or apocynin, similar to tempol. Both 5-HD and apocynin suppressed the enhanced cardiac lipid peroxidation and activation of the apoptosis signal-regulating kinase/p38, c-Jun NH 2 -terminal kinase (JNK) pathways, but not the Raf/MEK/extracellular signal-regulated kinase pathway, elicited by acutely administered Ang II. Apocynin but not 5-HD suppressed Ang II–induced augmentations of the NAD(P)H oxidase complex formation (p47 phox , p22 phox , and Rac-1) and its activity in the heart. Finally, 5-HD suppressed superoxide production by isolated cardiac mitochondria without any effect on their respiration. These results suggest that the preconditioning effects of Ang II for cardiac I/R injury may be mediated by cardiac mitochondria-derived ROS enhanced through NAD(P)H oxidase via JNK and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase activation.Keywords
