Objectives: Myocardial ischemia is accompanied by a rapid activation of adenosine-monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK). However, it is unclear whether this represents a potentially beneficial or detrimental event in the course of ischemic injury. The role of AMPK activation in the cardioprotective setting of desflurane-induced preconditioning has not been investigated to date. Hence, the current study was undertaken to address the role of AMPK activation during desflurane-induced preconditioning in vivo.Design: A prospective randomized vehicle-controlled study.Setting: A university research laboratory.Subjects: Male New Zealand white rabbits (n = 44).Interventions: The animals were subjected to a 30-minute coronary artery occlusion (CAO) followed by 3 hours of reperfusion. Desflurane (1.0 minimum alveolar concentration) was administered for 30 minutes and discontinued 30 minutes prior to CAO. Different groups of animals received the AMPK activator, 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-briboside (AICAR), alone or in combination with desflurane. Infarct size was determined gravimetrically; AMPK activity and myocardial glycogen content were measured using specific assays. Phosphorylation of the AMPK substrate, acetylCoA carboxylase, was assessed by immunoblotting. Data are mean +/- standard error of the mean.Results: Desflurane significantly reduced the myocardial infarct size (36.7 +/- 1.9%, p < 0.05) compared with the control group (61.6% +/- 3.0%), concomitant with increased myocardial tissue levels of glycogen (2.09 +/- 0.07 mu g, p < 0.05). Activation of the AMPK by AICAR alone did not protect against ischemic injury (65% +/- 3.3), but did abolish the cardioprotection elicited by desflurane (61.8% +/- 4.2%) at the same time as increasing myocardial glycogen consumption (1.42 +/- 0.15 mu g/mL).Conclusions: The results obtained show that the pharmacologic activation of AMPK abolishes cardioprotection elicited by desflurane.
