[Participation of K(ATP)-channels in cardioprotective effect of mu-opioid receptor agonists in acute ischemia and reperfusion of the isolated heart].

Abstract

Preliminary administration of the mu-opioid receptor (mu-OR) agonist DAMGO (0.1 mg/kg) 15 min before heart isolation led to attenuation of the postischemic systolic and diastolic contractility dysfunction in isolated perfused rat heart. In addition, the mu-OR decreased creatine kinase (CK) release from the heart during the postischemic period, which was indicative of an increase in the sarcolemma tolerance to reperfusion injury. This protective effects are mediated by KATP channel activation. These data show that the mu-OR stimulation in vivo increases, by means of the KATP channel activation, the cardiac tolerance to the ischemia and reperfusion injury in vitro. Pretreatment with mu-OR agonists DAMGO or DALDA in vitro (0.5 mg/liter, 15 min prior to ischemia) exacerbated the postischemic contractility dysfunction of myocardium and did not affect the CK release. It is concluded that the protective effect of mu-OR simulation in vivo is mediated by the activation of these receptors localized outside the heart, probably with an unknown circulating humoral factor.
