Nitric oxide attenuates neutrophil-mediated myocardial contractile dysfunction after ischemia and reperfusion

Abstract

With the knowledge of NO as an antiadhesion molecule, we performed studies to investigate the effects of NO on postischemic polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN)-medicated myocardial contractile dysfunction. Studies were performed with isolated perfused rat hearts subjected to 20 minutes of global ischemia and 45 minutes of reperfusion. Human PMNs (50 million) were infused over the first 5 minutes of reperfusion, and the recovery of left ventricular function was compared with baseline values. Infusion of PMNs alone (n = 10) led to a 61% reduction in left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP) and a 57% reduction in the pressure-rate product (PRP) at 45 minutes of reperfusion. Infusion of an NO donor, CAS-754 (n = 9), resulted in 80.2 +/- 6.7% recovery of LVDP and 77.0 +/- 8.6% recovery of PRP. Treatment with L-arginine (2.5 mmol/L, n = 10) resulted in a similar improvement in the postischemic contractile state of the heart. In contrast, NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) treatment (250 mumol/L, n = 10) resulted in an exacerbation of contractile dysfunction, as evidence by a 93% reduction in LVDP at 45 minutes of reperfusion and a 91% reduction in PRP. The deleterious effects of L-NAME were prevented by L-arginine coperfusion....Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.
