Popis: BACKGROUND: Preclinical studies indicate that minocycline protects against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury. In these studies, minocycline was administered before ischemia, which can rarely occur in clinical practice. The current study aimed to evaluate cardioprotection by minocycline treatment upon reperfusion.METHODS: Rabbits were subjected to myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury and received either intravenous minocycline (n = 8) or saline (n = 8) upon reperfusion. Cardiac cell death was assessed by in vivo micro-SPECT/CT after injection of Indium-111-labeled 4-(N-(S-glutathionylacetyl)amino) phenylarsonous acid ((111)In-GSAO). Thereafter, hearts were explanted for ex vivo imaging, γ-counting, and histopathological characterization.RESULTS: Myocardial damage was visualized by micro-SPECT/CT imaging. Quantitative GSAO uptake (expressed as percent injected dose per gram, %ID/g) in the area at risk was lower in minocycline-treated animals than that in saline-treated control animals (0.32 ± 0.13% vs 0.48 ± 0.15%, P = 0.04). TUNEL staining confirmed the reduction of cell death in minocycline-treated animals.CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates cardioprotection by minocycline in a clinically translatable protocol.
