Abstract
This study examined whether a reduction in hemoglobin-oxygen affinity improves exercise capacity in mice with heart failure. Exercise intolerance is a major determinant of quality of life in patients with chronic heart failure. One of the major goals of the treatment for chronic heart failure is to improve quality of life. Four weeks after left coronary ligation, we transplanted bone marrow cells isolated from the transgenic mice expressing a hemoglobin variant with low oxygen affinity, Presbyterian, into the lethally irradiated mice with heart failure or administered a synthetic allosteric modifier of hemoglobin. The mice were then exercised on a treadmill. Four weeks after the left coronary artery ligation, mice showed cardiac dysfunction and chamber dilation, which were characteristics of heart failure. The transplantation led to a reduction in hemoglobin-oxygen affinity and an increase in oxygen supply for skeletal muscle without changes in muscle properties. The transplanted mice showed improved running performance on a treadmill despite impaired cardiac contractility. Furthermore, administration of the synthetic allosteric modifier of hemoglobin showed a similar effect. Allosteric modification of hemoglobin represents a t...Continue Reading
