| Research Abstract |
Objective: Heart failure after MI is associated with oxidative stress. We studied spaciotemporal alteration of LV oxidative stress related to cell damage, LV function, and apoptotic change after MI.
Methods: LAD in SD rats was ligated. Heart was dissected 0, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48 hours, and 1, 2, 4 weeks after ligation. LV function was examined by echocardiography (SONOS 5500【○!R】), in the same time course. Oxidative stress was assessed by immunohistochemistry; determination of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) by HPLC-ECD, and cell injury was detected by nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) level as coenzyme of ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP). Apoptotic change of the hearts was detected by TUNEL procedure.
Results: Soon after MI, oxidative stress as shown by 8-OHdG was intense, in 24 hours, cardiomyocytes were necrotized in the MI area. However, oxidative stress reincreased at 2 weeks [8-OHdG/dG×10^5: 0 91±0.04 (p<0.01) in Remote Areas, 1,16+0.19 (p<0.05) in Near Area]; it remained high o

nly in Near Area at 4 weeks [1.18 + 0.76 (p<0.05)](Fig.). The peak of PARP was 6 hour after MI, with no second peak. The second peak had relationship with LV disfunction and enlargement. NAD decreased immediately and 1/10 of normal 12 hour after MI. It was normalized 2 weeks after MI. Three hours after the ligation of the coronary artery, few apoptotic cardiomyocytes were observed in the MI area, and scarcely any were observed in any area from 6 hours to 1 week. However, 2 to 4 weeks after the operation, cardiomyocytes in the peri-MI area showed apoptosis, suggesting that loss of cardiomyocytes occurred due to apoptosis induced by oxidative DNA damage.
Conclusion: Repair of DMA by PARP was maximal 6-12 hours after MI and so did 8-OHdG. Only 8-OHdG had the second peak 2 weeks after MI, and cardiomyocytes in Near Area remained oxidatively stressed even 4 weeks after MI. The first peak implies acute damage of DNA by ischemia, and the second peak suggests continuing damage of cardiomyocytes in the course of LV remodeling, related to apoptosis of cardiomyocites. Less
