The actual order of these steps, however, is a matter of current debate. This study examined whether protection afforded by menadione, which protects by causing mitochondria to produce ROS, requires mK opening. In addition, we tested whether ATP protection from anisomycin, a p38 MAPK activator, is dependent on ROS production. Methods and Results: Isolated, buffer-perfused rat hearts were pretreated with menadione, and infarction was assessed after 30 min of regional ischemia and 120 min of reperfusion. Menadione reduced infarction in a dose-dependent manner with an EC of 270 nM. Menadione’s infarct-limiting effect was insensitive 50 to 200 mM 5-hydroxydecanoate (5HD), an mK channel blocker, whereas protection by diazoxide and PC were blocked by 5HD. ATP Anisomycin caused hearts to resist infarction and this protective effect was abrogated by SB203580, a p38 MAPK inhibitor, and 2-mercaptopropionylglycine (MPG), a free radical scavenger. Conclusions: These results indicate that mK opening occurs upstream ATP of mitochondrial ROS generation in the protective pathway. Furthermore, protection afforded by anisomycin was p38 MAPK- and ROS-dependent. 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Infarct size There were no significant differences in body weight, heart weight, or size of risk zones between any of the experimental groups (Table 2). As illustrated in Fig. 2, treatment with menadione caused a dose-dependent reduction of infarction. Infarction was 32.663.7% in control hearts (n58). Treatment with 100 nM menadione slightly reduced infarction to 28.664.5% (n55). Infarction was significantly reduced to 15.564.2%, 8.761.6%, and 10.962.7% (P,0.05) in hearts treated with 300 nM (n5 5), 1000 (n56), and 3000 nM menadione (n56), respectively. This protective effect was attenuated at 10 mM menadione (infarction522.364.5%; n53), possibly a result of toxicity at higher doses (data not shown). These data were fit by a dose–response algorithm (Origin 6.1, Rockware, Golden, CO) which yielded an EC of 270 nM 50 for the protective effect of menadione (inset, Fig. 2). The Fig. 2.

We, therefore, platelets [28], but that required 250 mM, which was again conclude that menadione most likely protects the hearts by much higher than concentrations that we used. Moreover, inducing ROS generation from mitochondria. menadione’s protection against infarction could be blocked The possibility that ROS act as signaling molecules in myocardial tissues has recently gained considerable attention [21,24,30–35]. Yao et al. [21] showed that ROS were generated by acetylcholine which then protected chick cardiomyocytes against simulated ischemia in an mK - ATP dependent manner. Cohen et al. [32] found that many G -coupled receptor systems mimic preconditioning i through a ROS-dependent mechanism in the rabbit heart. While the mechanism of this protection is unknown, we speculate that mK channel opening releases mitochon- ATP drial ROS which are then capable of activating p38 MAPK to mediate protection. Interestingly, Carroll et al. [33] observed that 30 mM diazoxide evoked ROS which protected cultured human atrial myocytes against simulated ischemia–reperfusion injury.
