Quantitative characterization of changes in the cardiac mitochondrial proteome during anesthetic preconditioning and ischemia.

ABSTRACT: Changes in mitochondrial bioenergetics have been proposed to be critical for triggering and effecting anesthetic-induced preconditioning (APC) against cardiac ischemia and reperfusion injury. The objective of this study was to analyze changes in mitochondrial protein levels and link those changes to potential functional changes. A (18)O-labeling method was applied for relative comparison of cardiac mitochondrial samples from control and isoflurane exposed rats before and after ischemia and reperfusion. Wistar rats were exposed to isoflurane for 30 min (APC) or did not receive the anesthetic (control). Rats were subjected to 30 min coronary occlusion and 15 min reperfusion without (ischemia) or after APC (ischemia + APC). The following comparisons were made: control vs. APC, control vs. isc
