title: Protective effect of Na+ /H+ exchange inhibitor, SM-20550, on impaired mitochondrial respiratory function and mitochondrial Ca2+ overload in ischemic/reperfused rat hearts.
abstract: The aim of this study was to investigate whether a selective Na+/H+ exchange inhibitor, SM-20550, can modulate the mitochondrial respiratory function and mitochondrial Ca2+ content in isolated rat hearts subjected to 40 min of ischemia and 20 min of reperfusion. SM-20550 (10, 100 nM) was administered for 5 min prior to ischemia and for 20 min during the reperfusion period. At 20 min after reperfusion, treatment with SM-20550 (10, 100 nM) improved the recovery of left ventricular developed pressure and suppressed the rise in left ventricular end-diastolic pressure. Mitochondrial function, assessed by the state 3 oxygen respiration rate, respiratory control index, and oxidative phosphorylation rate, was significantly impaired after ischemia/reperfusion. Administration with SM-20550 (10, 100 nM) attenuated the impaired mitochondrial function, improving the state 3 respiration rate, respiratory control index, and oxidative phosphorylation rate. The mitochondrial Ca2+ content was significantly increased after ischemia/reperfusion but was suppressed by treatment with SM-20550 (10, 100 nM). A significant linear correlation was observed between the respiratory control index and mitochondrial Ca2+ content in the ischemic/reperfused hearts. In conclusion, SM-20550 improved the postischemic recovery of left ventricular function and concurrently protected mitochondrial function mediated by preventing mitochondrial Ca2+ overload.
