Recently we reported that BN rats were more resistant to lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced myocardial dysfunction than SS rats. This differential sensitivity was exemplified by reduced production of proinflammatory cytokines and diminished NFκB pathway activation. To further clarify the mechanisms of different susceptibility of these two strains to endotoxin, this study was designed to examine the alterations of cardiac and mitochondrial bioenergetics, proinflammatory cytokines, and signaling pathways after hearts were isolated and exposed to LPS ex vivo. Isolated BN and SS hearts were perfused with LPS (4 μg/ml) for 30 min in the Langendorff preparation. LPS depressed cardiac function as evident by reduced left ventricular developed pressure as well as decreased peak rate of contraction and relaxation in SS hearts, but not in BN heart. These findings are consistent with our previous in vivo data. Under complex I substrates a higher O2 consumption and H2O2 production were observed in mitochondria from SS hearts than that from BN hearts. LPS significantly increased H2O2 levels in both SS and BN heart mitochondria; however the increase in O2 consumption and H2O2 production in BN heart mitochondria was much lower than that in SS heart mitochondria. Additionally LPS significantly decreased complex I activity in SS hearts but not in BN hearts. Furthermore, LPS induced higher levels of TNF-α and increased phosphorylation of IκB and p65 more in SS hearts than BN hearts. Our results clearly demonstrate that less mitochondrial dysfunction combined with a reduced production of TNF-α and diminished activation of NFκB are involved in the mechanisms by which isolated BN hearts were more resistant to LPS-induced myocardial dysfunction.
