Mitochondria and cardioprotection

Abstract: Major factors linking mitochondrial dysfunction with myocardial injury are analyzed along with protective mechanisms elicited by endogenous processes and pharmacological treatments. In particular, a reduced rate of ATP hydrolysis and a slight increase in ROS formation appear to represent the prevailing components of self-defense mechanisms, especially in the case of ischemic preconditioning. These protective processes are activated by signaling pathways, which converge on mitochondria activating the mitochondr… Show more

“…In fact, to generate a proton gradient across the inner membrane, Ca 2þ uptake occurs in mitochondria that utilize oxygen (38)(39)(40)(41) overload also activates calcium-dependent proteases, which could partially degrade contractile proteins. These effects are the basis of a progressive increase of ventricular diastolic pressure (hypercontracture), myocardial stunning, and contraction band necrosis (100,151,170).…”

“…Besides being the moment of ''no-return'' for cell death in reperfusion, mPTP opening is also involved in heart failure development (17,58,127,196). The oxidative opening of mPTP is central in reperfusion injury (for reviews, see [38][39][40][41]158), and, as said, it causes mitochondrial depolarization, loss of small molecular weight substances from the matrix, and rupture of OMM (6,32,126,196). However, experiments with transgenic mice in each of the putative components of mPTP reached controversial results.…”
