Popis: | Ischemia-reperfusion (I-R) injury is detrimental to cardiovascular system. This study was designed to investigate whether carbon monoxide-saturated polymerized human placenta hemoglobin (CO-PolyPHb) attenuates cardiac I-R injury and to elucidate the underlying mechanism(s). Sixty male adult Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 6 groups: saline + sham group, PolyPHb + sham group, CO-PolyPHb + sham group, saline + I-R group, PolyPHb + I-R group, and CO-PolyPHb + I-R group. Rats were pretreated with injection of PolyPHb, CO-PolyPHb (0.5 g Hb/kg/d), or an equivalent volume of saline via caudal vein for 3 days. After pretreatment, hearts were isolated Langendorff perfused and subjected to 30-minute no-flow ischemia and 120-minute reperfusion. As compared with the saline + I-R group, pretreatment with CO-PolyPHb greatly improved the recovery of cardiac function, reduced infarct size, and suppressed the release of cardiac enzyme. Importantly, CO-PolyPHb showed more prominent cardioprotective effect than PolyPHb, exhibiting a promising therapeutic potential in cardiac I-R injury. Further study demonstrated that CO-PolyPHb activated molecular signaling toward mitophagy and significantly elevated the mitochondrial respiratory function in the heart. In addition, CO-PolyPHb upregulated the phosphorylation of the proteins in insulin signaling pathway and increased the glucose uptake rate in cardiomyocytes. Pharmacological inhibition of this pathway by wortmannin abrogated the anti-I-R effect of CO-PolyPHb. In conclusion, using an isolated rat heart model, we have demonstrated that pretreatment with CO-PolyPHb provided protective effect against cardiac I-R injury, and this protection was mediated by the improvement of mitochondrial function and activation of insulin signaling pathway in the heart. |
