The effect of ischemia and reperfusion on sarcolemmal function in perfused canine hearts. 1985

J M Chemnitius, and Y Sasaki, and W Burger, and R J Bing

The report deals with the effect of ischemia and reperfusion on purified sarcolemma obtained from canine myocardium of perfused supported heart preparations. Perfusion was carried out with a perfluorochemical (FC-43). Ischemia was produced by intermittent total clamping of inflow and outflow followed by release until the decrease in dP/dtmax had become stabile. Purity of sarcolemmal vesicles was ascertained with marker enzymes: succinate cytochrome c reductase (for mitochondria), K+-stimulated p-nitrophenylphosphate (K+-pNPPase), (Na+/K+)ATPase and adenylate cyclase (for SL). In addition Na+/Ca2+-exchange characteristics for SL were determined. Sidedness of vesicles was ascertained by means of adenylate cyclase activity using sarcolemmal preparations treated and untreated with alamethicin. Emphasis was placed on ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake, phosphorylation of sarcolemmal vesicles and yield of SL proteins. Ischemia and reperfusion resulted in a significant reduction in adenylate cyclase activity. This decline was significant following ischemia and reperfusion. The yield of protein recovered from SL vesicles from ischemic-reperfused heart preparations was also significantly decreased. Both initial rate of ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake and maximal Ca2+ uptake fell significantly following ischemia and reperfusion. The initial rate of phosphorylation also dropped significantly. These disturbances in SL Ca2+ transport following ischemia and reperfusion are probably a part of the general deficit in Ca2+ translocation.

D010477	Perfusion	Treatment process involving the injection of fluid into an organ or tissue.	Perfusions
D010766	Phosphorylation	The introduction of a phosphoryl group into a compound through the formation of an ester bond between the compound and a phosphorus moiety.	Phosphorylations
D002118	Calcium	A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
