Abstract:
Aim To determine whether remifentanil preconditioning has cardioprotection against ischemia and reperfusion induced injury via opioid receptor(OR) in rats.Method Male Sprague-Dawley rats of 300～350 g were anaesthetized and the chests were opened and hearts exposed via a left thoracotomy.They were randomly assigned to 12 groups:Control(CON,saline vehicle),naltrindole(NTD,5 mg?kg~(-1) iv.10 min before 30 min ischemia);CTOP(CTOP,1 mg?kg~(-1) iv.10 min before ischemia),nor-binaltorphimine(nor-BNI,5 mg?kg~(-1),iv.15 min before 30 min ischemia);remifentanil preconditioning(RPC,6 ?g?kg~(-1)?min~(-1)),ischemic preconditioning(IPC),NTD+RPC or NTD+IPC(naltrindole 5 mg?kg~(-1) iv.10 min before RPC or IPC),nor-BNI+RPC or nor-BNI+IPC(nor-binaltorphimine 5 mg?kg~(-1),iv.15 min before RPC or IPC),CTOP+RPC or CTOP+IPC(CTOP 1 mg?kg~(-1) iv.before RPC or IPC).Infarct size(IS),a percentage of the area at risk(AAR),was determined by triphenyltetrazolium(TTC) staining.Results IPC and RPC markedly reduced IS/AAR from(52.7?1.8)% to(12.9?2.7)% and(16.2?2.4)%,respectively. CTOP,a selective ?-OR antagonist,or NTD,a selective ?-OR antagonist,administered 10 min before remifentanil PC completely abolished,while nor-BNI,a selective ?-OR antagonist,administered 15 min before RPC attenuated the cardioprotective effect of RPC.In the group preconditioned with ischemia,blockade of ?-OR with NTD abolished,while blockade of ?-OR with nor-BNI attenuated the protection.Blockade of ?-OR with CTOP did not alter the cardioprotective effect of IPC.Conclusion The cardioprotective effect of RPC was abolished by all the three OR antagonist,CTOP,naltrindole and nor-binaltorphimine,suggesting that this effect is mediated via ?-,?-and ?-ORs.Part of the effect of RPC may be produced by ?-OR agonist activity outside the heart.
