University of South Alabama Ischemic preconditioning: and its elusive mechanism James Downey, PhDProfessor of Physiology University of South AlabamaMobile, Alabama USA
In 1972 Eugene Braunwald noted that morbidity and mortality following acute myocardial infarction was in direct proportion to the amount of myocardium infarcted. • He proposed that interventions be found to make the ischemic heart resistant to infarction. • 35 years later all we have is reperfusion therapy
All were ineffective in clinical trials All werecontroversial in preclinical studies • During the 80’s and 90’s many drugs were tested based on the popular theories of what killed ischemic myocardium • Free radical scavengers • Beta blockers • Calcium antagonists • Anti-inflammatory agents (anti-complement, anti-leukocyte, or low-dose adenosine) Was infarct size reduction even possible?
Rosetta stone Created in 196 BC, It was discovered in 1799 at Rosetta. Using it hieroglyph writing was finally deciphered in 1822 by Thomas Young and Jean-François Champollion. It took 23 years to figure it out!

Like the Rosetta stone it has taken 23 years to decipher preconditioning’s mechanism. How was that done?
And developed them! 1957 Triumph Thunderbird Start with some rough ideas…..
In 1991 we discovered that preconditioning is triggered by adenosine receptors and that PKC was required for the protection. That revealed that a signal transduction pathway was responsible for the protection. Here is the pathway as we understand it today.
PLC/PLD Trigger pathway is activated before ischemia
During the preconditioning ischemia three receptors are occupied
PLC/PLD A1/ A3 adenosine receptors activate PKC directly through PLC
BK and opioid activate PKC through a complex pathway involving the mitochondria
Nitric oxide is produced PKG is activated PKG opens a mitochondrial potassium channel
mitochondria swelling reveals K+ channel Opening. 1- 30 mM 300nM 100nM [cGMP] 0.20 ATP = 200 mM Purified PKG 0.19 cGMP + ATP Volume 0.18 0 520 λ 0.17 1 2 3 0 Time (min) PMT Isolated Mitochondria Garlid et al. Circ Res 97:329-36. 2005

PKC increases the affinity of the A2B receptors so endogenous adenosine can occupy them.

So what is the difference between a preconditioned and a naïve heart? 1966 BMW R27 (250cc)
The A2b Adenosine receptor in its high affinity (phosphorylated) state. That way its own adenosine can protect at reperfusion.
Survival kinases protect by inhibiting permeability transition pores
1967 Triumph T90 (350cc) UK domestic model Yes, good science but is it useful?
How can we activate the mediator pathway at reperfusion? Preconditioning has not been clinically useful since acute myocardial infarction patients only present after ischemia has begun. ischemia precondition reperfuse See patient

There are many drugs that stimulate the mediator pathway but most cause unwanted hemodynamic effects. • Bradykinin • AMP579 and NECA (A1,A2A, A2B) • Angiotensin • Acetylcholine A2B receptors are found only on a few blood vessels so A2B-selective agonists have minimal hemodynamic effect
