Temperature modulates both myocardial energy requirements and production. We have previously demonstrated that myocardial protection induced by hypothermic adaptation preserves expression of genes regulating heat shock protein and the nuclear-encoded mitochondrial proteins, the adenine nucleotide translocator isoform 1 (ANT1), and the β subunit of F1-ATPase (βF1-ATPase). This preservation is associated with a reduction in ATP depletion similar to that noted in cardioplegic arrested hearts preserved at a critical temperature (30°C) or below. We tested the hypothesis that expression of these genes may also be subject to this temperature threshold phenomenon. Isolated perfused rabbit hearts were subjected to ischemic cardioplegic arrest at 4, 30, or 34°C for 120 min. Cardiac function indices and steady-state mRNA levels for ANT1, βF1-ATPase, and HSP70-1 were measured prior to ischemia (B) and after 45 min of reperfusion. Cardiac function was significantly depressed in the 34°C group. Ischemia at 34°C reduced steady-state mRNA levels for ANT1and βF1-ATPase from B, but these levels were similarly preserved at 4 and 30°C. HSP70-1 levels were mildly elevated (fourfold) above B to similar levels at all three temperatures. These results indicate that mRNA expression for ANT1and βF1-ATPase is specifically preserved in a pattern consistent with the temperature threshold phenomenon. HSP70-1 expression is not influenced by ischemic temperature. Preservation of gene expression for these mitochondrial proteins implies that signaling for mitochondrial biogenesis or resynthesis is maintained after ischemic insult. |
