The effects of the inhibition of phospholipid degradation and superoxide radical generation on prostaglandin synthesis associated with myocardial ischemia and reperfusion were studied in the isolated, in-situ pig heart model subjected to 60 mins of regional ischemia and a further 60 mins of hypothermic potassium cardioplegic arrest, followed by 60 mins of reperfusion. Myocardial biopsies were taken from the ischemic and non-ischemic regions of the myocardium for measurement of phospholipids, and samples of the perfusate were drawn for estimation of the end-products of arachidonic acid metabolism, 6-keto-prostaglandins-F1.alpha. and thromboxane B2. A significant amount of 6-keto-prostaglandin F1.alpha. and thromboxane B2 appeared during reperfusion, corresponding with the loss of membrane phospholipids in control animals. Mepacrine, a phospholipase inhibitor, protected the depletion of membrane phospholipids and inhibited the products of arachidonic metabolism. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase, on the other hand, enhanced the formation of 6-keto-prostaglandin F1.alpha. and thromboxane B2. The effects of both mepacrine and the free radical scavengers were pronounced during the reperfusion phase when the most significant depletion in membrane phospholipids occurred. These results suggest that the arachidonate cascade is activated during reperfusion of ischemic myocardium as a consequence of phospholipid breakdown, and this activation can be attenuated by inhibiting phospholipases or enhanced by scavenging oxygen-free radicals generated during reperfusion.
