Halothane protects cardiomyocytes against reoxygenation-induced hypercontracture

Abstract

Resupply of oxygen to the myocardium after extended periods of ischemia or hypoxia can rapidly aggravate the already existing injury by provoking hypercontracture of cardiomyocytes (acute reperfusion injury). Previous studies indicated that halothane can protect ischemic-reperfused myocardium. The aim of the present study was to analyze on the cellular level the mechanism by which halothane may protect against reoxygenation-induced hypercontracture. To simulate ischemia-reperfusion, isolated adult rat cardiomyocytes were incubated at pH 6.4 under anoxia and reoxygenated at pH 7.4 in the presence or absence of 0.4 mmol/L halothane. Reoxygenation was started when intracellular Ca2+ (measured with fura 2) had increased to > or = 10(-5) mol/L and pHi (BCECF) had decreased to 6.5. Development of hypercontracture was determined microscopically. In the control group, reoxygenation provoked oscillations of cytosolic Ca2+ (72+/-9 per minute at fourth minute of reoxygenation) accompanied by development of hypercontracture (to 65+/-3% of end-ischemic cell length). When halothane was added on reoxygenation, Ca2+ oscillations were markedly reduced (4+/-2 per minute, P<.001) and hypercontracture was virtually abolished (90+/-4% of end-ischem...Continue Reading
