Early alteration of the control of mitochondrial function in myocardial ischemia

Journal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology

Abstract

This study was aimed at evaluating the nature of the early mitochondrial alterations in isolated perfused rat hearts subjected to ischemia (37 degrees C, 0.1 ml/min, 15 or 30 min) and reperfusion (10 min). The functional variables of isolated perfused hearts were continuously evaluated, and the mitochondrial respiration variables were determined at the end of protocol on cardiac permeabilized fibers. In a parallel series of experiments, the myocardial contents of inorganic phosphate (Pi), phosphocreatine (PC) and ATP were monitored by means of P-31 NMR spectroscopy for the 15-min ischemia group. Severe mitochondrial alterations were detected in the 30-min ischemia group: decrease of maximal respiration rate and apparent Km for ADP, loss of the stimulatory effect of creatine (Cr) and disruption of the outer membrane. The functional recovery was no more than 10% of the pre-ischemic value. In contrast, in the 15-min ischemia group, only the stimulatory effect of Cr on respiration was significantly decreased. On reperfusion, a restoration of pre-ischemic levels of Pi and PC and a stabilization of the ATP content were observed, demonstrating the establishment of an energy balance steady state. The functional recovery was 76% of pre-...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
