1 Production of Endothelium-Derived Contracting Factor Is Enhanced After Coronary Reperfusion Paul J. Pearson, MD, PhD, Pyng J. Lin, MD, and Hartzell V. Schaff, MD Section of Cardiovascular Surgery, Mayo Clinic and Mayo Foundation, Rochester, Minnesota To determine whether coronary reperfusion enhances the production of endothelium-derived contracting factor, we investigated dogs subjected to global cardiac ischemia (45 minutes) followed by reperfusion (60 minutes). Segments of reperfused and control coronary arteries were suspended in organ chambers to measure isometric force. Perfusate hypoxia caused endothelium-dependent contraction in the control and reperfused arteries. However, reperfused arteries exhibited hypoxic contraction that was significantly greater than control segments. The hypoxic contractions in both the control and reperfused arteries could be inhibited by p-monomethyl-l-arginine (L-NMMA), the blocker of endothelial cell synthe- sis of nitric oxide from L-arginine. The action of 1,-NMMA could be reversed by L-arginine but not D-arginine. Thus, after reperfusion, augmented production of endothelium-derived contracting factor occurs by an L-arginine-dependent pathway. We hypothesize that nitric oxide produced by L-arginine metabolism combines with superoxide anion to produce the peroxynitrite anion r:onoo-), which is metabolized to endothelium-derived contracting factor or induces its synthesis. Augmented production of endothelium-derived contracting factor would favor vasospasm after reperfusion. (Ann Thoruc Surg 2992;52:788-93) he coronary endothelium modulates vascular tone T and myocardial perfusion by producing vasoactive factors that act on the underlying vascular smooth muscle [I]. However, after global cardiac ischemia and reperfusion, the release of endothelium-derived relaxing factor to aggregating platelets and platelet products becomes impaired [2, 31. Impaired release of relaxing factor would promote platelet adhesion and aggregation as well as platelet-induced constriction of the coronary smooth muscle; these events would be expected to increase risk of subsequent ischemia due to vasospasm and thrombosis [4]. Indeed, impaired release of endothelium-dependent relaxing factor, in particular to aggregating platelets, appears to be an important cause of coronary vasospasm after cardiac operations. The coronary endothelium can also produce contracting factor (EDCF). When exposed to hypoxia, coronary segments with endothelium exhibit augmented contraction to agonists such as serotonin, prostaglandin Fza, and potassium ions [5, 61. Endothelium-dependent contractions caused by hypoxia have also been described in the human internal mammary artery [7]. It is possible that coronary reperfusion could enhance the production of EDCF. Increased production of EDCF after global myocardial reperfusion as occurs during cardiopulmonary bypass might lead to coronary vasospasm after cardiac operations. The present study was designed to determine whether reperfusion after cardiopulmonary bypass alters the production of EDCF.

The left common carotid artery was isolated and catheterized to monitor aortic blood pressure. A left lateral thoracotomy was performed in the fourth intercostal space to expose the heart, and a pericardial cradle was created. After heparinization (2 mg/kg), the right atrium was cannulated through its appendage for venous return, and the right femoral artery was isolated and cannulated for arterial inflow. Cardiopulmonary bypass was then commenced at 2.0 to 2.4 L min- * m- (32 C). When perfusion flow and pressure were stable, the ascending aorta was cross-clamped. A left ventricular vent was then inserted through the left atrial appendage to decompress the heart during ischemia and reperfusion. After 45 minutes of normothermic arrest, the aortic cross-clamp was removed, and the heart was allowed to reperfuse. After 5 minutes of reperfusion, the heart was defibrillated, and cardiopulmonary bypass was slowly discontinued. The heart was then allowed to function for a total of 60 minutes of reperfusion, at which time the animal was exsanguinated into the cardiotomy reservoir, and the still-beating heart was excised and immersed in cold, oxygenated physiological salt solution of the following composition (mmol/l): NaCI, 118.3; KCI, 4.7; MgSO,, 1.2; KHJ O,, 1.22; CaCl,, 2.5; NaHCO,,, 25.0, and glucose, 11.1 (control solution).

Preliminary experiments demonstrated no difference in the hypoxic response between exsanguinated control dogs and dogs exposed to cardiopulmonary bypass without ischemia (data not shown). All animals received humane care in compliance with the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals published by the National Institutes of Health (NIH publication No , revised 1985). The procedures and the handling of the animals were reviewed and approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of the Mayo Foundation. In Vitro Experiments The left circumflex arteries of reperfused and unmanipulated control hearts were carefully dissected free and placed in control solution. Care was taken to remove as much of the connective tissue as possible. A maximum of four coronary ring segments (5 to 6 mm in length) were prepared from each artery. In some rings, the endothelium was removed by gently rubbing the intimal surface with the tip of a pair of watchmaker s forceps [8, 91. Previous histological studies have shown that this procedure removes the endothelial cells in large canine arteries and preserves the ability of the vascular smooth muscle to contract and relax [lo, 111. The rings were suspended in 25-mL organ chambers filled with control solution maintained at 37 C and aerated with 95% 0,-5% CO, (ph = 7.4) (Fig 1). Each ring was suspended by two stainless steel clips passed through the lumen. One clip was anchored to the bottom of the organ chamber; the other was connected to a strain gauge (Grass FT03; Grass Instrument Co, Quincy, MA) for the measurement of isometric force. Rings were placed at the optimal point of their length-tension relationship by progressively stretching them until the contraction to KCl(20 mmovl), imposed at each level of distention, was maximal [8, 91. In all experiments, the presence or absence of endothelium was confirmed by the response to acetylcholine movl) of rings contracted with potassium ions (20 mmovl) [lo, 121. After optimal tension was achieved, the rings were allowed to equilibrate for 45 minutes before the administration of drugs. Protocols Rings of reperfused and control arteries (with and without endothelium) were studied in parallel. Before exposure to hypoxia, rings were contracted with prostaglandin F, so that the vessel could either relax or exhibit additional contraction to hypoxia [5, 131. Previous experiments have shown that control and reperfused canine coronary arteries exhibit the same contractile response to prostaglandin F, [2]. Reperfused coronary segments also exhibit normal active basal tone as evidenced by relaxations to nitric oxide and isoproterenol [2]. Hypoxia was induced by aerating the organ bath with a mixture of 95% N,-5% CO, (ph = 7.4, oxygen tension = 30 to 40 mm Hg, 20 min). Rings were only exposed to one period of hypoxia. When used to modify the hypoxic response, drugs were added Blood vessel ring (-> Recorder JI Force transducer 95% 02-95% Np- 5% coq 5% cop water bath Fig 1.

In contracted control and reperfused coronary segments, hypoxia caused an initial decrease in tension in segments with and without endothelium (hypoxic inhibition) (Figs 2, 3); this transient decrease in tension was comparable in the control and reperfused arteries. Hypoxia then induced contraction in control and reperfused segments with endothelium (hypoxic potentiation) (Figs 2, 3). The hypoxic contraction of the reperfused coronary segments was significantly greater than that of control coronary segments (168.0% k 20.1% versus 117.7% * 17.2% of initial prehypoxic tension, respectively; n = 6; p < 0.05). Reoxygenation produced comparable transient relaxations in control and reperfused segments with and without endothelium (posthypoxic inhibition). Coronary segments then gradually returned to their original prehypoxia tension (posthypoxic recovery). Hypoxic inhibition Hypoxic contraction Fig 3.

The effect of L-NMMA could be blocked with L-arginine (low4 movl) but not by D-arginine mol/l) (Figs 4,5). L-arginine and D-arginine had no effect on the hypoxic response of control and reperfused segments without endothelium. Comment The major finding of this study is that early after global ischemia and reperfusion, hypoxia induces augmented endothelium-dependent contraction in the epicardial coronary artery. In addition, we determined that hypoxic contraction is mediated by an L-arginine-dependent pathway. Release of endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF) in the coronary artery, particularly the release induced by aggregating platelets, is impaired early after global myocardial ischemia and reperfusion during cardiopulmonary bypass [2], and early and late after regional myocardial ischemia [8, 91. Because EDRF induces vasodilation [12], inhibits platelet adhesion [14] and aggregation [15, 161, and promotes platelet disaggregation [16], such an impairment would put the vessel at risk for ischemic events due to thrombosis or vasospasm. The present study suggests that if an ischemic event were to occur after cardiopulmonary bypass, tissue hypoxia would increase production of EDCF, thereby inducing or exacerbating coronary vasospasm. Indeed, such a sequence of events could lead to cardiovascular collapse at a time when the heart is exquisitely sensitive to ischemia because of preexisting myocardial disease or intraoperative injury. The identity of the EDCF released in response to hypoxia has been elusive. The factor can diffuse [5], but has not been quantified in bioassay [17]. Previous studies have excluded catecholamines, serotonin, histamine, adenine nucleotides, and cyclooxygenase products as the contracting factor(s) induced by hypoxia (5, 13, 181. In addition, the rapid onset and reversal of the contraction, coupled with the fact that hypoxic contraction can be

The present study demonstrates that endotheliumdependent hypoxic contraction can be inhibited by L-NMMA, a blocker of nitric oxide synthesis [20]. Nitric oxide has been identified as the active component of EDRF [21, 221, which is produced from L-arginine metabolism [23]. Martin [24] postulated that endotheliumdependent contractions to hypoxia might be due to a "down-regulation" of basally released EDRF. A basal level of EDRF is constantly being produced by many blood vessels [25]; impairment in EDRF production would remove the tonic relaxant effect on the vascular smooth muscle and, in effect, cause contraction. This hypothesis is supported by studies that demonstrate that hypoxia impairs the stimulated release of EDRF [ll, 261. With hypoxia, however, such a mechanism is implausible because inhibitors of EDRF do not modify endotheliumdependent contractions [5]. Although nitric oxide relaxes vascular smooth muscle, it also can combine with superoxide anion (0;) to form the peroxynitrite anion (ONOOJ [27]. ONOO- is very toxic and unstable, and it can decompose into highly reactive agents [28]. We hypothesize that 0,' produced in the hypoxic milieu of the endothelial cell [29] combines with nitric oxide to form ONOO'. ONOO- is then metabolized to EDCF or induces its synthesis (Fig 6). This hypothesis is supported by the finding that hypoxic contractions are augmented in arteries after reperfusion injury; such tissue is rich in oxygen-derived free radicals [30]. As free radicals also scavenge EDRF [31, 321 and inhibit endotheliumdependent vasodilation [33], free radical production by loo[ 80 Control Reperf used a= untreated.n=6 In the presence of: Fig 5.

L-arginine is utilized for endothelial cell production of nitric oxide (NO). During hypoxia, superoxide anion (0;) formed in the hypoxic milieu of the endothelial cell combines with NO to form the peroxynitrite anion (ON003. ONOO- is then metabolized to endothelium-derived contracting factor or induces its synthesis. The production of endothelium-derived contracting factor is enhanced after reperfusion injury secondary to an abundance of free radicals that can be utilized for ONOO- production. (ADP = adenosine diphosphate; ATP = adenosine triphosphate.) Hypoxia ischemia- Nitric oxide Metabolites I ++ RELAXATION 1 - the reperfused endothelium would greatly increase vascular tone. Coronary vasospasm appears to be an important but unrecognized cause of cardiovascular collapse after cardiac operations. Indeed, after global cardiac ischemia and reperfusion, coronary arteries with endothelium lose the ability to break the direct vasoconstrictive effect of aggregating platelets on the vascular smooth muscle [2]. Intracoronary platelet deposition that occurs after cardiopulmonary bypass [34] would favor increased vascular tone in the coronary circulation and might lead to myocardial ischemia. As the present study demonstrates, local tissue hypoxia caused by myocardial ischemia could augment production of EDCF and favor maintenance or exacerbation of coronary vasospasm. It is also possible that systemic hypoxemia could induce vasoconstriction in the reperfused coronary circulation after cardiopulmonary bypass. Indeed, hypoxemia can occur after cardiac operations for a variety of reasons including hypoventilation, intrapulmonary shunting of blood, and during states of low cardiac output. The present study demonstrates that if hypoxemia were to occur, potentiated endothelium-dependent contraction of the reperfused coronary artery could decrease coronary blood flow and impair perfusion to the myocardium. Coupled with the direct depressed effect of hypoxemia on myocyte function, such a situation could rapidly lead to cardiovascular collapse. References 1. Vanhoutte PM.
