Cardioprotective action of remote ischemic perconditioning in rats
Chalupová, Miloslava ; Neckář, Jan (advisor) ; Žaloudíková, Marie (referee)
Remote ischemic perconditioning (RIPerC) stimulated by brief nonlethal periods of ischemia and reperfusion of a remote organ or a tissue applied during myocardial infarction, is a powerful cardioprotective maneuver. Because of its easy realization, for example, through inflation and deflation of blood pressure cuff, this method has a big potential for translation to clinical settings. The main purpose of this thesis was to investigate the cardioprotective effect of RIPerC as a reduction of infarct size and the incidence and severity of ischemic and reperfusion arrhythmias and to examine, whether this protective effect will be confirmed also in rats with partial deletion of a transcriptional factor of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α). HIF-1α is a main regulator of hypoxic intracellular signalization and its role was previously indicated in cardioprotection by local ischemic preconditioning. Anesthetized rats were subjected to 20 minutes of the left anterior descending coronary artery occlusion followed by 3 hours of reperfusion. RIPerC was performed by 3 cycles of 4 minutes of ischemia and 2 minutes of reperfusion with a pressure cuff placed on both hind-limbs. This study shows that RIPerC failed to induce protection in any observed factors of ischemia-reperfusion heart injury. Key words: heart,...
Cardioprotective action of ischemic perconditioning
Chalupová, Miloslava ; Neckář, Jan (advisor) ; Šilhavý, Jan (referee)
Remote ischemic perconditioning (RIPerC) is acknowledged to be a promising cardioprotective strategy, defined as brief repetitive periods of ischemia and reperfusion applied during ongoing myocardial infarction. This method provides protection against ischemia-reperfusion injury. Although remote perconditioning reduces infarct size, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. The aim of this thesis is to summarize the current knowledge of RIPerC, its molecular mechanisms and protective effects on the heart.
