The role of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in isoflurane postconditioning (IsoPC)-elicited cardioprotection is poorly understood. We addressed this issue using eNOS-/- mice. In vivo or Langendorff-perfused mouse hearts underwent 30 min of ischemia followed by 2 h of reperfusion in the presence and absence of postconditioning produced with isoflurane 5 min before ischemia and 3 min after reperfusion. Ca2+-induced mitochondrial permeability transition pore opening was assessed in isolated mitochondria. Echocardiography was used to evaluate ventricular function. Postconditioning with 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 minimum alveolar concentrations of isoflurane decreased infarct size from 56 ± 10% (n = 10) in control to 48 ± 10%, 41 ± 8% (n = 8, P < 0.05), and 38 ± 10% (n = 8, P < 0.05), respectively and improved cardiac function in wild-type mice. Improvement in cardiac function by IsoPC was blocked by NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (a nonselective NOS inhibitor) administered either prior to ischemia or at the onset of reperfusion. Mitochondria isolated from postconditioned hearts required significantly higher in vitro Ca2+ loading than control (78 ± 29 vs. 40 ± 25 μM CaCl2 mg protein-1, n = 10, P < 0.05) to open the mitochondrial permeability transition pore. Hearts from eNOS-/- mice displayed no marked differences in infarct size, cardiac function, and sensitivity of mitochondrial permeability transition pore to Ca2+, compared to the wild-type hearts. However, IsoPC failed to alter infarct size, cardiac function or the amount of Ca2+ necessary to open the mitochondrial permeability transition pore in mitochondria isolated from the eNOS-/- hearts compared to control hearts. IsoPC protects mouse hearts from reperfusion injury by preventing MPT pore opening in an eNOS-dependent manner. Nitric oxide functions as both a trigger and a mediator of cardioprotection produced by IsoPC.
