Background—Nitric oxide (NO) has been implicated as a mediator of "second-window" ischemic preconditioning, and mitochondrial ATP-dependent K+ (mitoKATP) channels are the likely effectors. The links between NO and mitoKATP channels are unknown.

Methods and Results—We measured mitochondrial redox potential as an index of mitoKATP channel opening in rabbit ventricular myocytes. The NO donor S-nitroso-N-acetyl-DL-penicillamine (SNAP, 0.1 to 1 mmol/L) oxidized the mitochondrial matrix dose-dependently without activating sarcolemmal KATP channels. SNAP-induced oxidation was blocked by the selective mitoKATP channel blocker 5-hydroxydecanoate and by the NO scavenger 2-(4-carboxyphenyl)-4,4',5,5'-tetramethylimidazole-1-oxyl-3-oxide. SNAP-induced mitochondrial oxidation was detectable either by photomultiplier tube recordings of flavoprotein fluorescence or by confocal imaging. SNAP also enhanced the oxidative effects of diazoxide when both agents were applied together. Exposure to 1 mmol/L 8Br-cGMP failed to mimic the effects of SNAP.

Conclusions—NO directly activates mitoKATP channels and potentiates the ability of diazoxide to open these channels. These results provide novel mechanistic links between NO-induced cardioprotection and mitoKATP channels.

Nitric oxide is a key signaling molecule that figures prominently in ischemic preconditioning. NO is generated during the oxidation of L-arginine to citrulline, not only in the cytosol but also in mitochondria.1 2 3 During ischemia, the endogenous production of NO in the heart is increased.1 It is also common therapeutic practice to administer exogenous nitrates in acute ischemic syndromes, further boosting the concentration of NO. Although NO has been reported to afford cardioprotection from reperfusion injury,4 5 6 the role of NO during the early phase of ischemic preconditioning is controversial.7 8 9 10 Conversely, several lines of evidence convincingly implicate NO as a mediator of the late phase (second window) of ischemic preconditioning against infarction and stunning.11 12 13 The cardioprotective effects of NO have been explained by several factors, such as microvascular effects,4 antineutrophil action,4 induction of stress protein,14 or modulation of cardiac excitability.7 Recently, Bernardo et al15 reported that delayed ischemic preconditioning is inhibited by 5-hydroxydecanoate (5HD) in the rabbit heart. Because 5HD is a selective blocker of mitochondrial ATP-dependent potassium (mitoKATP) channels in rabbit ventricular cells,16 the ability of 5HD to abolish second-window protection motivated us to look for possible links between NO and mitoKATP channels.

The investigation conforms with the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals published by the National Institutes of Health (NIH publication 85-23, revised 1985).

Materials
Collagenase (type II) was purchased from Worthington. Diazoxide, 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP), sodium cyanide (CN), SNAP, and 8-bromo cGMP (8Br-cGMP) were obtained from Sigma Chemical Co. 5HD, pinacidil, and 2-(4-carboxyphenyl)-4,4',5,5'-tetramethylimidazole-1-oxyl 3-oxide (carboxy-PTIO) were purchased from Research Biochemical International. Diazoxide, SNAP, pinacidil, and carboxy-PTIO were dissolved in DMSO before they were added to experimental solutions. The final concentration of DMSO was <0.1%.

Cell Isolation and Measurement of Mitochondrial Redox State
Rabbit ventricular myocytes were isolated enzymatically from adult rabbit hearts and placed in primary culture as described previously.16 17 Experiments were performed over the next day. MitoKATP channel activity was monitored noninvasively by measuring flavoprotein fluorescence as an index of mitochondrial redox state with or without simultaneous whole-cell membrane current recordings (as indicated).16 17 18 Cells were superfused with external solution containing (in mmol/L) NaCl 140, KCl 5, CaCl2 1, MgCl2 1, and HEPES 10 (pH adjusted to 7.4 with NaOH) at room temperature ({approx}22°C). Endogenous flavoprotein fluorescence was excited for 100 ms every 6 seconds by a xenon arc lamp with a bandpass filter centered at 480 nm. Emitted fluorescence was recorded at 530 nm by a photomultiplier tube and digitized. The redox signal was averaged during the excitation window and calibrated at the end of each experiment by exposure to DNP, which uncouples respiration from ATP synthesis and induces maximal oxidation. Therefore, the values of flavoprotein fluorescence are expressed as a percentage of the DNP-induced fluorescence. Individual myocytes were observed with a x40 objective to monitor fluorescence 1 cell at a time.

Confocal Imaging of Flavoprotein Fluorescence
Confocal images were obtained with a Diaphot 300 inverted fluorescence microscope with a PCM-2000 confocal scanning attachment (Nikon, Inc).17 18 Fluorescence was excited by the 488-nm line of an argon laser, and the emission at 505 to 535 nm was recorded. A time series of images was collected at intervals of 10 seconds, and baseline, diazoxide, SNAP, SNAP+5HD, CN, and DNP images were enhanced by averaging of 7 sequential images having stable mean fluorescence intensities during exposure to each agent. Images were analyzed on a personal computer with the software program Simple32 (Compix, Inc).

Data Analysis
To evaluate the effects of pharmacological agents on flavoprotein fluorescence, the slope of relative change in the fluorescence during drug application was calculated by a least-squares method. The best-fit line is indicated by a dotted line in Figure 1Down (A, B, and C), Figure 3Down (top), and Figure 4Down (A and B). Pooled data are presented as mean±SEM, and the number of cells or experiments is shown as n. Statistical comparison was evaluated by 1-way ANOVA, with a value of P<0.05 considered significant.

Electrophysiological Recordings
In some experiments (Figure 3Up), whole-cell currents and flavoprotein fluorescence were measured simultaneously. The internal pipette solution contained (in mmol/L) potassium glutamate 120, KCl 25, MgCl2 0.5, K-EGTA 10, HEPES 10, and MgATP 1 (pH adjusted to 7.2 with KOH). Whole-cell currents were elicited every 6 seconds from a holding potential of -80 mV by 2 consecutive steps to -40 mV (for 100 ms) and 0 mV (for 380 ms), and flavoprotein fluorescence was excited during the 100-ms step to -40 mV. To quantify IK,ATP, currents at 0 mV were measured 200 ms into the pulse.

Effects of SNAP on mitoKATP Channels
Figure 1AUp shows the time course of flavoprotein fluorescence in a cell exposed first to diazoxide, then to SNAP, and finally again to diazoxide. In the first application, diazoxide reversibly oxidized the flavoproteins. Subsequent exposure to SNAP alone gradually increased flavoprotein oxidation with a slope of 0.59%/min. After a 15-minute exposure to SNAP, mitochondrial oxidation persisted even 5 minutes after washout. Although NO has been reported to inhibit respiration,2 19 20 the present changes are in the opposite direction to those that would be expected from such an effect (in which case the mitochondrial matrix would have been reduced, as it is with CN-).18 Note also that the second exposure to diazoxide after SNAP increased flavoprotein oxidation above the levels reached in the first application, with less of a lag during the second exposure (4 minutes, versus 8 to 9 minutes during the first exposure).

To determine whether mitoKATP channels are involved in SNAP-induced mitochondrial oxidation, we applied 5HD, a selective mitoKATP channel blocker. Figure 1Up, B and C, shows that 1 mmol/L 5HD reversed (B) or prevented (C) the SNAP-induced flavoprotein oxidation. Figure 1DUp summarizes the amplitude of diazoxide-induced flavoprotein oxidation during the first [DIAZO(1)] and second exposures to diazoxide after the application of SNAP [DIAZO(2) SNAP]. Pretreatment with SNAP significantly enhanced the effects of diazoxide-induced oxidation; we have previously shown that repeated exposures to diazoxide alone do not produce potentiation.17 Figure 1EUp summarizes the latency to mitoKATP channel activation, measured as the time required to increase flavoprotein fluorescence to 20% of its maximal value after washing in diazoxide. The latency was significantly abbreviated during the second exposure to diazoxide after SNAP. Figure 1FUp summarizes the effects of 5HD on the SNAP-induced fluorescence changes and verifies that 5HD significantly and consistently inhibits SNAP-induced mitochondrial oxidation. These results indicate that SNAP-induced mitochondrial oxidation is mediated by activation of mitoKATP channels.

Effects of SNAP on Flavoprotein Fluorescence Detected by Confocal Imaging
To further confirm the NO-induced activation of mitoKATP channels, the effect of SNAP on flavoprotein fluorescence was measured by confocal imaging. Fluorescence was low under control conditions (Figure 2ADown), but exposure to diazoxide reversibly increased fluorescence (B; washout image in C). Subsequent exposure to SNAP also increased flavoprotein fluorescence (D), but SNAP-induced oxidation was inhibited by additional application of 5HD (E). Images were calibrated at the end of the experiment by exposure to cyanide (F) and DNP (G). The patchy distribution of fluorescence in the confocal images is typical of mitochondria,17 18 confirming that NO oxidizes the mitochondrial matrix by activation of mitoKATP channels.

A pseudocolor palette was applied to visualize relative increase in mitochondrial flavoprotein, to yield images of cells at baseline (Control, A), after 7 minutes’ exposure to diazoxide (100 µmol/L, B), washing out diazoxide (Wash, C), after 12 minutes’ exposure to SNAP (200 µmol/L, D), and additional application of 1 mmol/L 5HD (SNAP+5HD, E). Dynamic range of flavoprotein fluorescence is indicated by exposures to cyanide (4 mmol/L, F) and DNP (100 µmol/L, G) as minimum and maximum, respectively. H, transmitted light image of the same field.

Effects of SNAP on mitoKATP and Sarcolemmal KATP Channels
To test the selectivity of NO on mitoKATP versus sarcolemmal KATP channels, we examined the effects of SNAP on flavoprotein fluorescence and whole-cell currents simultaneously. In Figure 3Up, application of 0.5 mmol/L SNAP without preexposure to diazoxide gradually oxidized the mitochondrial matrix with a slope of 0.78%/min. SNAP-induced oxidation was inhibited by coapplication of 1 mmol/L 5HD. In the continued presence of 5HD, subsequent exposure to 100 µmol/L pinacidil (a mixed mitoKATP/surface KATP agonist)16 failed to induce mitochondrial oxidation. In contrast, Figure 3Up (bottom) shows that SNAP had no effect on sarcolemmal KATP channels, because pinacidil activated sarcolemmal KATP channels despite the presence of 5HD. These results are representative and reproducible. A 20-minute exposure to SNAP (0.5 mmol/L) had no significant effect on whole-cell current (before, 5.6±6.1 pA versus after, 12.9±4.8 pA at 0 mV, n=4, P=NS). Nevertheless, in the presence of 1 mmol/L 5HD, a 10-minute exposure to 100 µmol/L pinacidil increased sarcolemmal KATP current (554.9±82.9 pA at 0 mV, n=4, P<0.001 versus before). These results indicate that SNAP selectively activates mitoKATP channels. Furthermore, Figure 3Up demonstrates that SNAP-induced activation of mitoKATP channels does not require preexposure to diazoxide. Finally, the finding that 5HD suppresses the mitochondrial oxidation induced by pinacidil, but not the agonist effect on IK,ATP, demonstrates that 1 mmol/L 5HD is a selective inhibitor of mitoKATP channels in rabbit ventricular cells.16 17

Mediation by NO Independent of cGMP
To verify that the SNAP-induced changes are actually mediated by the release of NO, we tested the effects of carboxy-PTIO, an NO scavenger,21 on the SNAP-induced flavoprotein oxidation. Figure 4AUp shows that coapplication of carboxy-PTIO with SNAP prevented the flavoprotein oxidation (slope <0%/min). Because many (but not all) of the effects of NO occur via a cGMP-dependent pathway,22 23 we tested whether NO-induced activation of mitoKATP is mimicked by 8Br-cGMP. Figure 4BUp shows that exposure to this cell-permeable cGMP analogue did not increase flavoprotein oxidation, nor did pretreatment with 8Br-cGMP enhance diazoxide-induced oxidation. The effects of the NO scavenger and 8Br-cGMP were observed reproducibly. Figure 4Up, C and D, shows that carboxy-PTIO abolished the enhancing effects of SNAP on diazoxide-induced oxidation, confirming that the SNAP-induced change is mediated by release of NO. Figure 4Up, E and F, summarizes data for 8Br-cGMP, confirming that it fails to mimic the effects of SNAP.

The pooled data in Figure 5Down reveal that SNAP significantly increases the slope of percent change in flavoprotein oxidation and that the SNAP-induced effect is inhibited by 5HD and carboxy-PTIO. The inset shows the dose-response relationship between SNAP concentration and flavoprotein oxidation. Taken together with the results in Figure 4Up, these experiments support the idea that SNAP activates mitoKATP channels dose-dependently via a direct effect of NO, not mediated by cGMP.

Effects of SNAP in the Presence of Diazoxide
We previously reported that protein kinase C (PKC) activation enhances diazoxide-induced changes without affecting basal flavoprotein fluorescence.16 This finding indicates that the modulation of mitoKATP by PKC may depend on whether the channels are in the open or closed state when the kinase becomes active. To test for analogous state-dependent changes in the case of NO, we quantified the effects of SNAP on channels that had already been opened by diazoxide. Figure 6ADown shows that 1 mmol/L SNAP rapidly enhanced diazoxide-induced oxidation when applied after the effect of diazoxide had reached steady state. Note that in this case, the effects of SNAP were reversible. Figure 6CDown shows that carboxy-PTIO abolished the enhancing effect of SNAP on diazoxide-induced oxidation, and Figure 6EDown demonstrates that 8Br-cGMP failed to mimic the effects of SNAP on mitoKATP in the presence of diazoxide. Figure 6Down, B, D, and F, summarizes data for coadministration of diazoxide with SNAP, SNAP+carboxy-PTIO, and 8Br-cGMP, respectively. These results indicate that NO enhances mitoKATP channels preactivated by diazoxide. Channels that are already open appear to be more susceptible to the potentiating actions of NO than channels that are in the closed state.

Our data reveal that NO selectively activates mitoKATP channels but not sarcolemmal KATP channels. The modulation of mitoKATP channels by NO is manifested in 2 ways. One is the gradual oxidation induced by NO alone, and the other is potentiation of mitoKATP channels preopened by diazoxide. The latter effect resembles that of phorbol esters that turn on PKC and enhance diazoxide-induced oxidation,16 but unlike NO, phorbol esters alone do not suffice to activate the channels. It is possible that the 2 observations share a common pathway, inasmuch as reactive oxygen species (such as the NO product peroxynitrite) are known to activate PKC.13 24 25 Shinbo and Iijima26 reported that the application of the NO donor NOR-3 increased the open probability of agonist-activated surface KATP channels in cardiac myocytes, whereas NOR-3 had no effect in the absence of channel agonists. We have found that PKC primes ventricular surface KATP channels to open in response to agonists or to metabolic inhibition, but basal activity is unaffected.27 28 These findings again resemble the rapid enhancement of mitoKATP by NO in the presence of diazoxide but differ in the inability of the modulator to alter basal activity. Although the structural relationship between surface and mitoKATP channels is unknown,29 the results suggest that the 2 channels may share regulatory pathways sensitive to NO, as is the case for PKC.16 27 29 In pancreatic ß cells, NO has been argued to inhibit glycolysis, leading to a secondary activation of surface KATP channels.30 However, SNAP did not increase whole-cell KATP current in the present study, consistent with the finding that NO alone did not activate single KATP channels in cell-attached mode in guinea pig ventricular myocytes.26 The mitoKATP channel is not especially sensitive to changes in bulk [ATP], remaining closed even at 0.5 mmol/L [ATP].31 Considering these observations, it seems unlikely that the effects of NO on mitoKATP channels reflect inhibition of glycolysis.

Both NO and mitoKATP channels have been implicated in the delayed phase of preconditioning known as the "second window" of protection.11 12 13 MitoKATP channel opening is cardioprotective during ischemia,17 32 whereas blockade of mitoKATP channels abolishes both classic and second-window protection. The present study establishes NO as an endogenous mitoKATP channel opener that may be able to recruit cardioprotection in the second window. NO may play a particularly prominent role in the second window because of changes in gene expression, notably the upregulation of nitric oxide synthase that occurs within 24 hours of conditioning ischemia. Although the relationships between mitoKATP channel activation and cardioprotection remain elusive, the opening of channels in the inner membrane may dissipate the mitochondrial potential established by the proton pump, perhaps blunting the Ca2+ overload that would otherwise occur as a result of the large driving force for Ca2+ entry into mitochondria during ischemia.16 17 It was recently reported that mitoKATP channel openers release Ca2+ from Ca2+-loaded mitochondria.33 The uncoupling by diazoxide appears to be much gentler than that which can be induced by agents such as DNP34 ; indeed, severe uncoupling should be harmful to myocytes, because energy production is critically reduced. We speculate that NO, functioning as an endogenous mitoKATP channel opener, may titrate the coupling level of the mitochondria to an optimum that blunts mitochondrial calcium overload without significantly undermining ATP synthetic capacity.
