摘要:The aim of this study was to clarify the role of free radicals generated in the postischemic myocardium in a canine coronary occlusion (90min)-reperfusion (5h) model of myocardial infarction. Myocardial samples were taken from the central infarcted region (infarct), the noninfarcted region within the area at risk (risk), and the endocardial-to-epicardial border between the infarct region and the area at risk (border). Free-radical generation was assessed by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy using a spin trapping agent, 5, 5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO) and a luminol-enhanced chemiluminescence assay. DMPO-adducts detected by EPR spectroscopy consisted of DMPO-OH, which markedly increased after reperfusion in the ischemic myocardium, especially in the border, and showed a peak after 3h of reperfusion ( p <0.01). Similarly, a marked increase in the chemiluminescence of the border was observed after reperfusion, which showed a peak after 3h of reperfusion ( p <0.01) and thereafter declined. The generating activity of free radicals in the border increased significantly ( p <0.01) after reperfusion and its peak was also observed at 3h after reperfusion. However, the activity in the infarct was nearly zero after 1h of reperfusion. Administration of a free-radical scavenger, CV-3611 (5mg/kg, i.v.), before reperfusion reduced the free radical generation in the border. These results indicate that the increased generation of free radicals at the peri-infarcted site may relate to the extension of reperfusion-associated myocardial injury.
