Effects of a Selective Inhibitor of Na+/Ca2+ Exchange, KB-R7943, on Reoxygenation-Induced Injuries in Guinea Pig Papillary Muscles

Abstract: The effects of a novel agent that is reported to selectively block Ca2+ influx by Na+/Ca2+ exchange (NCX), KB-R7943, on the reoxygenation-induced arrhythmias and the recovery of developed tension after reoxygenation, were investigated in guinea pig papillary muscles. KB-R7943 dose-dependently suppressed the contracture tension during low-sodium (21.9 mM) perfusion (23+/-8% of steady-state developed tension at 10 microM vs. 56+/-11% in control; n = 6, p<0.05), but did not change action potential and contractile… Show more

“…38 KB-R7943 has been shown to prevent digitalis-induced calcium overload of cardiomyocytes 21 and was also effective in preventing reoxygenationinduced injury in cardiomyocytes 39 and isolated papillary muscles. 40 The data from the present study show that KB-R7943 could prevent hydroxyl radical-induced acute diastolic dysfunction. KB-R7943 was not administered until after hydroxyl radical exposure was finished, so that potential scavenger properties of the KB-R7943 molecule can be excluded to cause the protective effect of the compound.…”

“…Our results affirmed the opinion of some authors about the antiarrhythmogenic effect of reoxygenation [56,57]. However, some reports describe serious injury to the heart by the reoxygenation [58,59].…”

“…This blocker selectively inhibited the reverse mode of Na + /Ca 2+ exchange, attenuated reoxygenation-induced arrhythmic activity and prevented contractile dysfunction in guinea pig papillary muscles. These results suggest that Ca 2+ influx by Na + /Ca 2+ exchange may play a key role in reoxygenation injury (Mukai et al, 2000). It is well established that hypoxia followed by reperfusion may be fatal and result in generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and subsequent tissue damage (Danielsson et al, 2007) and is associated with additional damage to the myocardium by oxidation of cellular components and activation of the inflammatory cascade (Cerniway et al, 2002).…”
