BACKGROUND Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) induced by transient limb ischemia is a powerful innate mechanism of cardioprotection against ischemia. Several described mechanisms explain how RIPC may act through neural pathways or humoral factors; however, the mechanistic pathway linking the remote organ to the heart has not yet been fully elucidated. This study aimed to investigate the mechanisms underlying the RIPC-induced production of Janus kinase (JAK)-signal transducer and activator of the transcription (STAT)-activating cytokines and cardioprotection by using mouse and human models of RIPC. METHODS AND RESULTS Screened circulating cardioprotective JAK-STAT-activating cytokines in mice unexpectedly revealed increased serum erythropoietin (EPO) levels after RIP induced by transient ischemia. In mice, RIPC rapidly upregulated EPO mRNA and its main transcriptional factor, hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF1α), in the kidney. Laser Doppler blood flowmetry revealed a prompt reduction of renal blood flow (RBF) after RIPC. RIPC activated cardioprotective signaling pathways and the anti-apoptotic Bcl-xL pathway in the heart, and reduced infarct size. In mice, these effects were abolished by administration of an EPO-neutralizing antibody. Renal nerve denervation also abolished RIPC-induced RBF reduction, EPO production, and cardioprotection. In humans, transient limb ischemia of the upper arm reduced RBF and increased serum EPO levels. CONCLUSIONS Based on the present data, we propose a novel RIPC mechanism in which inhibition of infarct size by RIPC is produced through the renal nerve-mediated reduction of RBF associated with activation of the HIF1α-EPO pathway.
