Abstract

Isoflurane mimics the cardioprotective effect of acute ischemic preconditioning with an acute memory phase. We determined whether isoflurane can induce delayed cardioprotection, the involvement of ATP-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channels, and cellular location of the channels. Neonatal New Zealand White rabbits at 7-10 days of age (n = 5-16/group) were exposed to 1% isoflurane-100% oxygen for 2 h. Hearts exposed 2 h to 100% oxygen served as untreated controls. Twenty-four hours later resistance to myocardial ischemia was determined using an isolated perfused heart model. Isoflurane significantly reduced infarct size/area at risk (means +/- SD) by 50% (10 +/- 5%) versus untreated controls (20 +/- 6%). Isoflurane increased recovery of preischemic left ventricular developed pressure by 28% (69 +/- 4%) versus untreated controls (54 +/- 6%). The mitochondrial K(ATP) channel blocker 5-hydroxydecanoate (5-HD) completely (55 +/- 3%) and the sarcolemmal K(ATP) channel blocker HMR 1098 partially (62 +/- 3%) attenuated the cardioprotective effects of isoflurane. The combination of 5-HD and HMR-1098 completely abolished the cardioprotective effect of isoflurane (56 +/- 5%). We conclude that both mitochondrial and sarcolemmal K(ATP) channels contribute to isoflurane-induced delayed cardioprotection.
