Whereas activation of ATP-dependent potassium (KATP) channels greatly improves postischemic myocardial recovery, the final effector mechanism for KATPchannel-induced cardioprotection remains elusive. RhoA is a GTPase that regulates a variety of cellular processes known to be involved with KATPchannel cardioprotection. Our goal was to determine whether the activity of a key rhoA effector, rho kinase (ROCK), is required for KATPchannel-induced cardioprotection. Four groups of perfused rat hearts were subjected to 36 min of zero-flow ischemia and 44 min of reperfusion with continuous measurements of mechanical function and31P NMR high-energy phosphate data:1) untreated,2) pinacidil (10 μM) to activate KATPchannels,3) fasudil (15 μM) to inhibit ROCK, and4) both fasudil and pinacidil. Pinacidil significantly improved postischemic mechanical recovery [39 ± 16 vs. 108 ± 4 mmHg left ventricular diastolic pressure (LVDP), untreated and pinacidil, respectively]. Fasudil did not affect reperfusion LVDP (41 ± 13 mmHg) but completely blocked the marked improvement in mechanical recovery that occurred with pinacidil treatment (54 ± 15 mmHg). Substantial attenuation of the postischemic energetic recovery was also observed. These data support the hypothesis that ROCK activity plays a role in KATPchannel-induced cardioprotection.
