【 摘 要 】

Background-We recently demonstrated that the sarcolemmal ATP-sensitive potassium (sarcK(ATP)) channel plays a key role in cardioprotection against ischemia/reperfusion injuries in Kir6.2-knockout (KO) mice. In the present study, we evaluated the effects of diazoxide, a mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium (mitoK(ATP)) channel opener, on ischemia-induced myocardial stunning in sarcK(ATP) channel-deficient mice. Methods and Results-Langendorff-perfused hearts of wild-type (WT) and KO mice were subjected to global ischemia/reperfusion. Diazoxide improved the recovery of contractile function in WT hearts but not in KO hearts. Treatment with HMR1098 (a sarcK(ATP) channel blocker) but not 5-hydroxydecanoate (a mitoK(ATP) channel blocker) abolished the cardioprotective effect of diazoxide in WT hearts. In coronary-perfused WT ventricular muscle preparations, action potential shortening during ischemia was accelerated in the presence of diazoxide. Conclusions-Diazoxide enhances action potential shortening during ischemia by activating sarcK(ATP) channels and provides cardioprotection in mouse hearts.
