Title: | Calcium gain during postischemic reperfusion. The effect of 2,4-dinitrophenol. | Austin Authors: | Elz, J S;Nayler, W G | Affiliation: | Department of Medicine, University of Melbourne, Austin Hospital, Heidelberg, Victoria, Australia | Issue Date: | 1-Apr-1988 | Publication information: | The American Journal of Pathology; 131(1): 137-45 | Abstract: | Reperfusing hearts after an ischemic episode can result in cellular Ca2+ overload. This is accompanied by the formation of contraction bands, loss of sarcolemmal integrity, and mitochondrial disruption. The present study investigated the effect of uncoupling oxidative phosphorylation with 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP) during reperfusion after 30 or 60 minutes of ischemia on this reperfusion-induced Ca2+ gain. After 60 minutes' ischemia, reperfusion with 1 mM DNP delayed the accumulation of Ca2+ and increased the duration of reperfusion before sarcolemmal disruptions were evident. This suggested that once sarcolemmal integrity is lost, Ca2+ will freely enter the cells irrespective of whether the mitochondria are able to accumulate Ca2+. After 30 minutes ischemia, reperfusion for up to 30 minutes with 0.1 or 1 mM DNP attenuated the Ca2+ gain and maintained sarcolemmal integrity. Because the authors previously found that maintaining sarcolemmal integrity alone does not totally abolish Ca2+ gain, it is suggested that DNP must prevent the entry of Ca2+ that occurs via route(s) other than those created by the loss of sarcolemmal integrity. | Gov't Doc #: | 3354640 | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/12968 | Journal: | The American journal of pathology | URL: | https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3354640 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | 2,4-Dinitrophenol Aerobiosis Anaerobiosis Animals Calcium.metabolism Coronary Disease.metabolism.pathology Dinitrophenols.pharmacology Female Heart.drug effects In Vitro Techniques Kinetics Microscopy, Electron Myocardium.metabolism.ultrastructure Perfusion Rats Rats, Inbred Strains |
