BACKGROUND: Increased activated Akt and eNOS expression coincide with this persistent cardioprotection. Emergent coronary reperfusion therapies are rarely carried out before considerable myocardial injury has occurred. Moreover, reperfusion after prolonged ischemia produces paradoxical ischemia-reperfusion injury, attenuating the efficacy of reperfusion therapies. This has provided impetus for identifying chronic therapies to protect against ischemia-reperfusion injury in those at risk. We previously found that regular dipyridamole therapy produces a chronic preconditioning-like effect mediated through adenosine A1 receptors.
METHODS: To determine how long this chronic preconditioning effect of dipyridamole remains present after discontinuing therapy, guinea pigs received 4 mg/kg/day in their water for …

Sevoflurane preconditioning against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury is lost if the ischemic insult is too long. Emerging evidence suggests that induction of autophagy may also confer cardioprotection against ischemia-reperfusion injury. We examined whether induction of autophagy prolongs sevoflurane preconditioning protection during a longer ischemic insult. Isolated guinea pigs hearts were subjected to 30 or 45 min ischemia, followed by 120 min reperfusion (control). Anesthetic preconditioning was elicited with 2% sevoflurane for 10 min prior to ischemia (SEVO-30, SEVO-45). Chloramphenicol (autophagy upregulator, 300 µM) was administered starting 20 min before ischemia and throughout reperfusion in SEVO-45 (SEVO-45+CAP). To inhibit autophagy, 3-methyladenine (10 …
