Abstract

Mild hypothermia and pharmacological postconditioning are widespread therapeutical treatment options that positively influence the clinical outcome after tissue hypoxia. In the study presented, a two-enzyme based in-vitro oxygen deficiency model in combination with cultured HT-1080 fibrosarcoma cells was employed to mimic the in-vivo situation of hypoxia and to evaluate the influence of mild hypothermia and postconditioning with catalase on hypoxia-mediated cell damage. Using the in-vitro oxygen deficiency model, partial pressure of oxygen was rapidly reduced to levels below 5mmHg in the culture media and cells responded with an increased expression of hypoxia inducible factor-1 on protein level. Hypoxia resulted in significant cell rounding and retraction of cytoplasmic cell extensions. Evaluation of cytotoxicity revealed a 3.5-fold increase in lactate dehydrogenase levels which was accompanied by 40-fold elevated levels of hydrogen peroxide. The hypoxia-induced increase of lactate dehydrogenase was 2.5-fold reduced in the hypothermia group, although morphological correlates of cytotoxicity were still visible. Hypothermia did not significantly influence hydrogen peroxide concentrations in the culture media. Pharmacological pos...Continue Reading
