Role of endothelial dysfunction in the pathogenesis of reperfusion injury after myocardial ischemia

AM Lefer, PS Tsao, DJ Lefer and XL Ma
Department of Physiology, Jefferson Medical College, Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19107-6799.

Endothelial dysfunction occurs after myocardial ischemia and reperfusion characterized by a marked reduction in endothelium- dependent relaxation (EDR) due to reduced release or action of endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF). This reduced EDR occurs in coronary rings isolated from cats 2.5 min after reperfusion and in isolated perfused cat hearts 2.5 min after reperfusion. No decrease in EDR occurs before reperfusion in either preparation, suggesting that this impairment in EDR occurs during reperfusion. The decrease in EDR occurs soon after the generation of superoxide radicals by the reperfused coronary endothelium. Accumulation of neutrophils and myocardial cell injury does not occur until 3-4.5 h after reperfusion. Thus, endothelial generation of superoxide radicals acts as a trigger mechanism for endothelial dysfunction which is then amplified by neutrophil adherence and diapedesis into the ischemic region enhancing post-reperfusion ischemic injury. Agents that preserve endothelial function or inhibit neutrophil activation (e.g., superoxide dismutase, prostacyclin analogs, TGF-beta, antibodies to adhesive proteins) can protect against endothelial dysfunction and myocardial injury, if administered before reperfusion.
