Abstract : [Abstract] The mechanism of the protective actions of myocardial ischemic preconditioning has not been clearly elucidated. Recently, it has been reported that the end effector of preconditioning (PC) could possibly be the ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channel. This channel has been implicated as one of the potential mechanisms of myocardial protection by halogenated volatile anesthetics including isoflurane and halothane associated with ischemia and reperfusion. This study was designed to assess the effect of sevoflurane on the intensity of myocardial response to preconditioning following ischemia and reperfusion. A second goal of this investigation was to determine whether blockade of KATP channels with glibenclamide (Glib) abrogates the protection afforded by PC in sevoflurane anesthetized rabbit hearts. In situ rabbit hearts (n=37) received regional ischemia by 30 min. of the left anterior descending artery occlusion followed by 3 hr of reperfusion under ketamine/xylazine (KX control) or sevoflurane (Sevo) anesthesia. Both groups (KX control and Sevo) were preconditioned by a 5 min. of ischemia followed by 10 min. of reperfusion prior to sustained ischemia. Glibenclamide (0.3 mg/kg in 0.3 ml/kg vehicle) was administered as intravenous bolus 15 min. prior to ischemic preconditioning. Infarct size was determined by tetrazolium staining. The areas at risk ranged from 44.2+-82% to 71.0+-9.0% with no significant difference among all the groups. Infarct size was 49.1+-4.7% in ketamine-xylazine anesthetized control rabbits; decreased significantly to 7.3+-0.5% in the PC hearts. In sevoflurane anesthetized rabbits, PC produced protection against ischemia reperfusion only in regard with infarct size. The infarct size between KX+PC and Sevo+PC was not significantly different. Thus ischemic preconditioning in rabbits anesthetized with ketamine/xylazine offered protection similar to that seen in sevoflurane anesthetized rabbits. Treatment with glibenclamide of preconditioned rabbits resulted in a significant increase in the infarct size (40.0+-3.7% in KX+Glib+PC, 38.8+-4.8% in Sevo+Glib+PC). Glibenclamide by itself had no apparent effect on infarct size in non-preconditioned rabbits (46.7+-5.0% in KX+Glib and 38.7+-12.4% in Sevo+Glib). These data suggest that myocardial protection afforded by sevoflurane during ischemia and reperfusion, at least, may be due to KATP activation and that myocardial protection with preconditioning is preserved under sevoflurane anesthesia in the rabbit heart.
