BACKGROUND.: Donor hearts are subjected to ischemia-reperfusion injury during transplantation. Recombinant human neuregulin (rhNRG)-1 peptide attenuates myocardial injury in various animal models of cardiomyopathy. Supplementing the organ-storage solution, Celsior (C), with glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) and cariporide improves cardiac preservation after hypothermic storage. We hypothesized that the addition of rhNRG-1 to C would improve cardiac preservation after hypothermic storage and provide incremental benefit in combination with GTN and cariporide. METHODS.: An isolated working rat heart model was used. To assess the effect of rhNRG-1, hearts were stored for 6 hr at 4°C in C±rhNRG-1 (14 nM). To assess the effect of using a combination of prosurvival kinase activators on cardiac preservation, the ischemic storage time was extended to 10 hr and hearts stored in C±rhNRG-1 (14 nM)±GTN (0.1 mg/mL)±Cariporide (10 μM). Hearts were subsequently reperfused, cardiac function remeasured, and tissue collected for protein analysis and immunohistochemistry. Optimal timing of rhNRG-1 administration was also assessed. RESULTS.: rhNRG-1 supplemented C improved functional recovery after 6 hr of storage (cardiac output recovery [mean±SEM]: control 1.4%±0.6%; rhNRG-1+C 21.1%±7.9%; P<0.05). After 10-hr storage, no improvement in functional recovery was observed with rhNRG-1, GTN, or cariporide alone; however, GTN combined with cariporide did improve recovery (P<0.01), which was further enhanced by the addition of rhNRG-1 (P<0.01). Functional improvements were accompanied by increased phosphorylation of Akt, ERK1/2, STAT3, and GSK-3β and reduced cleaved caspase-3 (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS.: rhNRG-1 given together with other activators of prosurvival pathways improves preservation of the rat heart and shows promise for increasing the cold-ischemic life of donor hearts in transplantation. |
