Activation of TRPC6 channels is essential for lung ischaemia-reperfusion induced oedema in mice.

ABSTRACT: Lung ischaemia-reperfusion-induced oedema (LIRE) is a life-threatening condition that causes pulmonary oedema induced by endothelial dysfunction. Here we show that lungs from mice lacking nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase (Nox2(y/-)) or the classical transient receptor potential channel 6 (TRPC6(-/-)) are protected from LIR-induced oedema (LIRE). Generation of chimeric mice by bone marrow cell transplantation and endothelial-specific Nox2 deletion showed that endothelial Nox2, but not leukocytic Nox2 or TRPC6, are responsible for LIRE. Lung endothelial cells from Nox2- or TRPC6-deficient mice showed attenuated ischaemia-induced Ca(2+) influx, cellular shape changes and impaired barrier function. Production of reactive oxygen species was completely abolished in Nox2(y/-) cells. A novel mechanistic model comprising endothelial Nox2-derived production of superoxide, activation of phospholipase C-γ, inhibition of diacylglycerol (DAG) kinase, DAG-mediated activation of TRPC6 and ensuing LIRE is supported by pharmacological and molecular evidence. This mechanism highlights novel pharmacological targets for the treatment of LIRE.

Project description:Heart rates during ischaemia and reperfusion are possible determinants of reperfusion arrhythmias. We used ivabradine, a selective If current inhibitor, to assess the effects of heart rate reduction (HRR) during ischaemia-reperfusion on reperfusion ventricular arrhythmias and assessed potential anti-arrhythmic mechanisms by optical mapping. Five groups of rat hearts were subjected to regional ischaemia by left anterior descending artery occlusion for 8min followed by 10min of reperfusion: (1) Control n=10; (2) 1?M of ivabradine perfusion n=10; (3) 1?M of ivabradine+5Hz atrial pacing throughout ischaemia-reperfusion n=5; (4) 1?M of ivabradine+5Hz pacing only at reperfusion; (5) 100?M of ivabradine was used as a 1ml bolus upon reperfusion. For optical mapping, 10 hearts (ivabradine n=5; 5Hz pacing n=5) were subjected to global ischaemia whilst transmembrane voltage transients were recorded. Epicardial activation was mapped, and the rate of development of ischaemia-induced electrophysiological changes was assessed. HRR observed in the ivabradine group during both ischaemia (195±11bpm vs. control 272±14bpm, p<0.05) and at reperfusion (168±13bpm vs. 276±14bpm, p<0.05) was associated with reduced reperfusion ventricular fibrillation (VF) incidence (20% vs. 90%, p<0.05). Pacing throughout ischaemia-reperfusion abolished the protective effects of ivabradine (100% VF), whereas pacing at reperfusion only partially attenuated this effect (40% VF). Ivabradine, given as a bolus at reperfusion, did not significantly affect VF incidence (80% VF). Optical mapping experiments showed a delay to ischaemia-induced conduction slowing (time to 50% conduction slowing: 10.2±1.3min vs. 5.1±0.7min, p<0.05) and to loss of electrical excitability in ivabradine-perfused hearts (27.7±4.3min vs. 14.5±0.6min, p<0.05). Ivabradine administered throughout ischaemia and reperfusion reduced reperfusion VF incidence through HRR. Heart rate during ischaemia is a major determinant of reperfusion arrhythmias. Heart rate at reperfusion alone was not a determinant of reperfusion VF, as neither a bolus of ivabradine nor pacing immediately prior to reperfusion significantly altered reperfusion VF incidence. This anti-arrhythmic effect of heart rate reduction during ischaemia may reflect slower development of ischaemia-induced electrophysiological changes.
