PG - 904-11 LID - 10.1111/j.1440-1681.2009.05165.x [doi] AB - 1. In the present study, we tested hypothesis that upregulation of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) would improve the actions of positive inotropic agents in cardiac myocytes after simulated ischaemia-reperfusion (I/R). 2. Hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha was upregulated with deferoxamine (150 mg/kg per day for 2 days). Rabbit cardiac myocytes were subjected to simulated ischaemia (15 min, 95% N(2)-5% CO2) and reperfusion (re-oxygenation) and compared with control myocytes. Cell contraction and calcium transients were measured at baseline and after forskolin (10(-7) and 10(-6) mol/L) or ouabain (10(-5) and 10(-4) mol/L). 3. Under control conditions, high-dose forskolin and ouabain increased percentage shortening by 20 and 18%, respectively. Deferoxamine-treated control myocytes responded similarly. In stunned myocytes, forskolin and ouabain did not significantly increase shortening (increases of 8% and 9%, respectively). Deferoxamine restored the effects of forskolin (+26%) and ouabain (+28%) in stunning. The results for maximum shortening and relaxation rates were similar. The increased calcium transients caused by forskolin and ouabain were also depressed in stunned myocytes, but were maintained by HIF-1 upregulation. 4. These results suggest that simulated I/R impaired the functional and calcium transient effects of positive inotropic agents. Upregulation of HIF-1 protects cardiac myocyte function after I/R by maintaining calcium release.
