Jpn Cire J 1998; 62: 517-526 Effect of Preischemic Catecholamine Treatment on Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury of the Myocardium - Subtype, Dose, and Temperature Dependency — Yasuyuki Shimada, MD*; Fumio Yamamoto, MD: Hiroshi Yamamoto, MD“*; Takahiro Oka, MD* Preischemic adrenergic stimulation may affect postischemic cardiac function, Using an isolated working heart model, we investigated the effects of preischemic catecholamine treatment on postischemic recovery. Hearts from Wistar rats were perfused in working mode for 20 min, in Langendorff mode for 15 min, and again in ‘working mode for 20min (W2). Hearts were treated with isoproterenol (8.0 and 40.0 nmol/L), phenylephrine (0.06, 0:30, and 1.50 mol/L), or epinephrine (16 and 80 nmol/L) during the W2 period and then arrested with ‘St Thomas’ Hospital cardioplegic solution (STH) and subjected to global ischemia (37°C or 20°C), followed by reperfusion. At 37°C, isoproterenol had a beneficial effect at the lower dose but a harmful elfect at the higher dose; phenylephrine and epinephrine had a harmful effect at all doses. At 20°C, isoproterenol and epinephrine had a harmful effect at a high dose; phenylephrine had no harmful effect’at any dase, In a separate study, the influence of calcium modulators (diltiazem and ryanodine, added in the STH) on the catecholamine effect was investigated. The harmful effect of preischemic treatment with isoproterenol (24.0 rmolL) or phenylephrine (0.9 molIL) was abolished by the calcium modulators. Thus, preischemic 2. adrenergic or a-+2-adrenergic stimulation has a deleterious effect on postischemic recovery of the myocar- dium. The effect could be altered depending on the subtype and dase of catecholamine and the ischemic temperature. Intracellular calcium movement could be involved in the mechanism responsible for the harmful effect of preischemic catecholamine treatment (pn Cire J 1998; 62: 517526) Key Words: Ischemnia-reperfusion-induced injury; Catecholamine; Rat sometimes required preoperatively for patients with unstable hemodynamics caused by valvular or ischemic heart disease. In addition, most heart trans- plantation donors undergo medical treatment with pos tive inotropic agents before their hearts are harvested! Some of those patients occasionally suffer from severe Tow cardiac output syndrome as @ result of ischemia- reperfusion injury of the myocardium even after a satis. factory operation? Catecholamines may alter the extent of myocardial damage during ischemia and reperfusion when given before or during myocardial ischemia. Little is known, however, about the effect of preischemic catecholamine treatment upon ischemia-reperfusion in jury of the myocardium and, in particular, the appropriate choice of catecholamines and their optimal doses. We have previously demonstrated, using an jsolated rat heart preparation, that a f-adrenergie agent (isoprotere- nol), phosphodiesterase inhibitor (milrinone), and an exogenous cyclic AMP agent (dibutyryl cyclic AMP) have P sitive inotropic agents such as catecholamines are (Received Sepomber 17,197; ressed manuscript recived Desember 2, 1997; aceped January 29, 198) Deparmen of Cardiovascular Surgery, Naional Cardovaeaar Center, Sule, Osaka, Japon "Socond Deparmen of Surgery, Kyoto Prefeenel University of Medng, Kyoto, Kyo, Japan "Fini Deparment of Surgery, Auhilawa Medical Collge, Asahitawa, Holbatd, Japan Mailing adres Fumio Yamamoto, MD, Department of Cacdiovesula Surgery, National Caniovsela C T Fujehirods, Suita, Osaka 565, Tspan Japanese Caton Jour Vol. 62, July 1998 deleterious effects on postischemic recovery when given before ischemiat suggesting that_an inerease in cyclic AMP might accelerate myocardial injury during ischemia and reperfusion. Cyclic AMP is known to enhance trans- sarcolemmal calcium intlux through cyclic AMP-depen- dent protein kinase activation, An a-adrenergic agent is known to have some inotropic effect on the myocardium, although the mechanism of its inotropism is different from that of a f-adrenergic agent, which may alter the extent of myocardial damage during ischemia and reperfusion. Hypothermic cardioplegia with topical cooling of the heart is an important method of myocardial. protection in open heart surgery. Tt is @ crucial point in a clinical setting to determine how catecholamines work when given before hypothermic ischemia ‘Questions that arise are: (1) Is there dose dependency in the deleterious effect of preischemic -adrenergic stimulation on the ischemia-reperfusion injury? (2) Is there any effect of preischemic a-adrenergic stimulation fon the ischemia-reperfusion injury? (3) Is there dose dependency in the effect of calcium modulators on the catecholamincsinduced injury? (4) Ts there temperature dependency in the effects of catecholamines or caleium modulators? The objectives of the present study were to determine: (1) the effect of catecholamines (adrenergic agent, a-adrenergic agent, and a-+ ?-adrenergic agent) at different concentrations on ischemia-reperfusion injury; (2) whether calcium modulators (diltiazem and ryanodine) influence the effect of preischemic catecholamine treat ment; and (3) whether there are differences in those effects between normothermic ischemia (37°C) and hy- ee eee ratocot ‘perfusion || catecholamine || pertusion we rrowcus [wr | Serer tn] om || cemarena| zaesee]| | W2 with, ‘STH with Langerdertt mowete [om Wega] woes | euch |] cnn] HERSEY] moweto [we [Spare] ccm | ua cone] BREE] Fel.

The animals were taken care of according to the Principles of Laboratory Animal Care of the National Society for Medical Researeh and the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals prepared by the National Academy of Sciences and published by the National Institutes of Health (NIH Publication No 80-23, revised in 1978). Peifusion Methods ‘The isolated perfused working heart model, which has been described in detail by Hearse et alf is a left heart Preparation, in which an oxygenated perfusion medium ‘enters the cannulated left atrium at a hydrostatic pressure of 12emH,O and is passed into the left ventricle, from which it is spontaneously ejected via an_aortic cannula against a hydrostatic pressure of 100emH0. Coronary clfluent leaving from the right heart can be sampled for the measurement of creatine Kinase (CK) leakage or pooled and recirculated with the aortic flow. Langendorlt non-working perfusion is introduced by clamping the left atrial cannula and introducing perfusion medium into the aorta from a reservoir located 100m above the heart, Ischemic cardiac arrest can be induced inthis preparation by clamping the aortic cannula. The cardioplegic solution is infused using a reservoir located 6 emHl,O above the hicart. ‘The perfusion medium was a modified Krebs- bicarbonate buffer (KHBB) of the following ion (in mmoVL): NaCl, 118.5; NaHCOs, 25.0; Mg8Ox, 1.2; KHaPO,, 1.2; CaCl, 1-4; and glu- cose, ILO. The bulfer was filtered before use and was gassed with 95% oxygen and 5% carbon dioxide. St ‘Thomas’ Hospital cardioplegic solution was used as a ear= dioplegic solution, and has the following composition (in mmol/L): NaCl, 110.0; NaHCOs, 10.0; KCI, 16.0; MgCl, 16.0; and CaCk, 1.2. ‘The pH of the eardioptegie solution was adjusted to 7.8 at any temperature before use. ‘The rats were anesthetized with diethyl ether, and heparin (200 IU) was injected into the femoral vein. The hearts were placed into a 4°C KHBB solution after rapid extirpation, and cannulation of the aorta was performed ‘within I min, Hearts were subjected to 5 min of aerobic Langendorff perfusion, followed by a first working perfu- sion (20min), a Langendorff perfusion (15 min), and a second working perfusion (20min). Hears were then arrested with a 3min infusion of St Thomas’ Hospital cardioplegie solution and subjected to normothermic oF hypothermic global ischemia (30 or 33min at 37°C and 120 min at 20°C), This was followed by a Langendorif reperfusion (15min) and a third working perfusion (20 min). The duration of ischemic arrest was selected from the preliminary experiments, which identified the periods resulting in about 70% of postischemic recovery of aortic flow at each temperature (the data are aot shown).

At 37°C, the postische= mie recovery of AF (W3/WI in Table 5) was significantly less in the 0.06, 0.30, and 1.50 moV/. groups than in the control group (Fig, top). CK leakage was significantly ‘gxcater in the 1.50 mol/L group than in the control group (Fig, top). At 20°C, there was no difference between the control groups and any other group in the postisehe- mic recovery of AF (W3/'WI in Table 5; Fig, bottom). CK leakage resulted in no difference between the control group and any other group (Fig 4, bottom), In hearts arrested with the cardioplegic solution con- taining diltiazem or ryanodine, the change in AF during the preischemic treatment before the cardioplegic arrest (W2/W1 in Table 6 or Table 7) was significantly greater than in the control group at an ischemic temperature of 37°C. The postischemic recovery of AF (W3/W1 in Table 6) was less in the O mol/L diltiazem (plus 0.9 emoUL, phenylephrine) group than in the control group but was similar in the 0.5, 1.0, and 5.0 pmoVL diltiazem (plus 0.9 nmol/L phenylephrine) groups and the control group (Fig 5A). There was a significant increase in CK leakage in the 0 amoVL diltiazem (plus 0.9 amoVL phenylephrine) ‘group compared with the control group, but CK leakage decreased to the control level in the 0.5, 1.0, and 5.0 eanoVL diltiazem (plus 0.9 mol. phenylephrine) groups (Fig 5A). The postischemic recovery of AF (W3W1 in Table 7) was Significantly less in the O nmol ryanodine (plus 0.9 pmol phenylephrine) group than in the control groups, but AF in the 0.175, 1.730, and 8.750 nmol ryanodine (plus 0.9 moVL. phenylephrine) groups recov ered {0 level similar to that in the control group (Fig 5B). There was a significant increase in CK leakage in the Onmol/L ryanodine (plus 0.9 mol/L phenslepheine) {group compared with the control group, but CK leakage decreased to the control level in the 0.175, 1.750, and 8.750 nmol/L ryanodine (plus 0.9 »mol/L phenslepheine) r0ups (Fig 5B). Preischemic Treatment With an a+ a-Adrenergie Stimulator Global Ischemia and Reperfusion ‘The. change in AF during the pretreatment (W2/W1 in Table 8) was signif cantly greater than in the control group at both ischemic temperatures. At 37°C, the postischemic recovery of AF. (W3/W1 in Table 8) was significantly less in the 16 and 80 nmol/L groups than in the control group (Fi 6, top). CK leakage in the 8 nmol/L group was significantly greater than that in the control group (Fig6, top). At 20°C, the postischemic recovery of AF (W3/Wi in Table 8) was sis- nificantly fess in the 80 amoVL group than in the control group (Fig6, bottom). There’ was no difference in CK Teakage between groups (Fig 6, bottom), Discussion Intracellular calcium overload is, in general, a key ‘mechanism of ischemia-reperfusion injury, and the posi tive inotropic action of catecholamines can be induced by an increase in intracellular calcium!'-'? Therefore, there is a possiblity that preischemic treatment with catechola- mines may aggravate calcium overload during ischemia and reperfusion and then accelerate ischemia-reperfusion injury. Our previous studies were able to confirm the dose-dependent acceleration of ischemia-reperfusion in- jury induced by preischemic treatment with either a phos- phodiesterase. inhibitor (milrinone) or a f-adrenergic stimulator (isoproterenol)* Most of the catecholamines such as dopamine, epinephrine, norepinephrine, and Japanese Ciltion Jornal Vol 62, uly 1998 (Catecholamines and Myocacial Ischemia 3 ‘Table 6 Changes in Indices of Cardiac Function During Phenylephrine Treatment and After Ischemia in Hearts Arrested With ‘SU Thomas’ Hospital Cardioplege Solution Containing Various Concentrations of Dilazer (Global Ischemia and Reperusion) Tempers “rts fow Coronas Fw Tear re Toric pemere Plesephie Dicom Ate Ben___Cormary flow __Hewrate_ ————s ing Oitci) Wii Wai?
