Desflurane-induced Preconditioning against Myocardial Infarction Is Mediated by Nitric Oxide

Abstract: The results demonstrate that desflurane-induced preconditioning markedly reduced myocardial infarct size. This beneficial effect was blocked by the nitric oxide synthase inhibitor L-NA either during or after desflurane-administration. These data suggest that early desflurane-induced preconditioning is mediated by nitric oxide.

“…However, the precise threshold and duration that must be achieved to trigger the protective effect has not been established. For APC in particular there is certain evidence that the reduction of ischemia-reperfusion injuries depends on timing and the threshold of repetitive application [4,8]. Our proteomics data underline the impact of repetitive agent application as demonstrated by the cumulative effect of protein changes (Fig.…”

“…Modern volatile anaesthetics as elicitors of cardiac preconditioning have been effectively demonstrated in cell culture experiments [1,2] and animal models [3,4,5,6]. There is also supporting evidence from clinical studies that anaesthetic-induced preconditioning (APC) is protective in the clinical setting [7,8,9].…”

“…Infarct size (IS) and area at risk (AAR) were gravimetrically determined as previously described (Smul et al 2006;Lange et al 2008). Briefly, at the end of each experiment, the coronary artery was reoccluded and the AAR determined by infusion of Patent Blue (Sigma-Aldrich, Steinheim, Germany).…”

“…Anaesthetic-induced preconditioning hereby consists of two distinct 'windows': a first 'window' lasting for 2-4 h after the application of the volatile anaesthetic and a second 'window' affording protection after 24 h (Tonkovic-Capin et al 2002). A complex interplay of multiple signalling pathways is known to govern this response, while the increased production of nitric oxide (NO) represents a pivotal element, and inhibition of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) provokes the loss of protection in both windows (Chiari et al 2005;Smul et al 2006). However, the actions preceding the increased NO availability remain elusive, and a number of regulatory factors have been implicated in tuning the NO biosynthesis, such as post-translational modifications, as well as the activation of specific transcription factors (Nathan & Xie, 1994).…”
