Abstract
Using 31P-, 23Na- and 39K-NMR, we assessed ischemic changes in high energy phosphates and ion contents of isolated perfused rat hearts continuously and systematically. To discriminate intra- and extracellular Na+, a shift reagent (Dy(TTHA)3-) was used in 23Na-NMR study. In 39K-NMR study, the extracellular K+ signal was suppressed by inversion recovery pulse sequence in order to obtain intracellular K+ signal without using shift reagents. During the early period of ischemia, increases in intracellular Na+ and inorganic phosphate (Pi) were observed in addition to the well-documented decreases in creatine phosphate and ATP and a fall of intracellular pH, suggesting an augmented operation of Na+-H+ exchange triggered by a fall of the intracellular pH resulted from breakdown of ATP. At around 15 min of ischemia, a second larger increase in intracellular Na+ and a decrease in intracellular K+ were observed in association with a second increase in Pi. This was accompnanied by an abrupt rise of the ventricular end-diastolic pressure. As there was a depletion of ATP at this time, the increase in intracellular Na+ and associated decrease in intracellular K+ may be explained by inhibition of the Na+-K+ ATPase due to the depletion of ATP. A longer observation with 31P-NMR revealed a second phosphate peak (at lower magnetic field to ordinary Pi peak) which increased its intensity as ischemic time lengthened. The pH of this 2nd peak changed in parallel with the changes in pH of the bathing solution, indicating the appearance of a compartment whose hydrogen concentration is in equilibrium with that of the external compartment. Thus, the peak could be used as an index of irreversible membrane damage of the myocardium. (Mol Cell Biochem 119: 109–120, 1993)
