Abstract

Increasing allograft ischemic time is a significant risk factor for mortality following heart transplantation (HTx). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the protective effects of histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate (HTK) and Celsior (CEL) using a rat HTx model with prolonged cold storage. The hearts were excised from donor rats, stored in cold preservation solution for either 6 or 18 hours, and heterotopically transplanted into syngeneic recipients. Serum creatine phosphokinase (CPK), serum troponin I, graft-infiltrating cells, graft mRNA levels for inflammatory mediators, and tissue adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels were analyzed, as markers of graft injury. The recipients of grafts stored in HTK for 18 hours of prolonged cold ischemia had lower levels of serum CPK and tissue malondialdehyde, less upregulation of the mRNAs for IL-6 and inducible nitric oxide synthase, less apoptosis, and higher ATP levels than those receiving grafts stored in CEL and Saline. Cardiac contraction 3 hours after reperfusion was observed in 43% of the cardiac grafts stored in HTK for 18 hours, while no cardiac wall movement was seen in grafts stored in either saline or CEL. Cold storage in HTK exhibited superior protective effects against pr...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
