Abstract—Increased resistance to myocardial ischemia in chronically hypoxic immature rabbit hearts is associated with activation of ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) channels. We determined whether chronic hypoxia from birth alters the function of the mitochondrial KATP channel. The KATP channel opener bimakalim (1 µmol/L) increased postischemic recovery of left ventricular developed pressure in isolated normoxic (FIO2=0.21) hearts to values (42±4% to 67±5% ) not different from those of hypoxic controls but did not alter postischemic recovery of developed pressure in isolated chronically hypoxic (FIO2=0.12) hearts (69±5% to 72±5%). Conversely, the KATP channel blockers glibenclamide (1 µmol/L) and 5-hydroxydecanoate (5-HD, 300 µmol/L) attenuated the cardioprotective effect of hypoxia but had no effect on postischemic recovery of function in normoxic hearts. ATP synthesis rates in hypoxic heart mitochondria (3.92±0.23 µmol ATP · min-1 · mg mitochondrial protein-1) were significantly greater than rates in normoxic hearts (2.95±0.08 µmol ATP · min-1 · mg mitochondrial protein-1). Bimakalim (1 µmol/L) decreased the rate of ATP synthesis in normoxic heart mitochondria consistent with mitochondrial KATP channel activation and mitochondrial depolarization. The effect of bimakalim on ATP synthesis was antagonized by the KATP channel blockers glibenclamide (1 µmol/L) and 5-HD (300 µmol/L) in normoxic heart mitochondria, whereas glibenclamide and 5-HD alone had no effect. In hypoxic heart mitochondria, the rate of ATP synthesis was not affected by bimakalim but was attenuated by glibenclamide and 5-HD. We conclude that mitochondrial KATP channels are activated in chronically hypoxic rabbit hearts and implicate activation of this channel in the improved mitochondrial bioenergetics and cardioprotection observed.

The ATP-sensitive K+ channel (KATP channel) is an important mediator of cellular protection in response to myocardial oxygen deprivation after chronic hypoxia and ischemia. Adaptation of hearts to chronic hypoxia results in enhanced activation of KATP channels.1 Increased resistance to ischemia exhibited by chronically hypoxic rabbit hearts is associated with increased activation of the KATP channel.2 Preconditioning in normoxic immature rabbit hearts is also associated with activation of the KATP channel.3
The precise cellular location at which the KATP channel mediates cardioprotection is unknown. If this can be identified, then the mechanisms through which KATP channels exert their protective effect may be determined. The cardioprotective effect of KATP channel openers, used at concentrations that do not shorten action potential duration, are abolished by the KATP channel blocker 5-hydroxydecanoate (5-HD).4 Thus, 5-HD does not appear to act on the sarcolemmal KATP channel. KATP channels are also found in the inner mitochondrial membrane5 6 where they control mitochondrial volume.7 8 However, it is unknown if this KATP channel is involved in mitochondrial energy production.9 Diazoxide, a KATP channel opener, is 1000 times more selective for opening mitochondrial KATP channels than sarcolemmal channels.7 The cardioprotective effect of diazoxide during ischemia is abolished by 5-HD, suggesting a role for the mitochondrial KATP channel in protection of the ischemic myocardium.10 5-HD abolished the cardioprotective effects of preconditioning in immature hearts, suggesting a cardioprotective role for mitochondrial KATP channels in immature hearts during conditions of oxygen deprivation.3
The present study further explores the involvement of mitochondria in the adaptation of heart muscle to chronic hypoxia. We hypothesize that activation of the mitochondrial KATP channel and its impact on mitochondrial bioenergetics may be an important event associated with increased resistance to ischemia in hearts adapted to chronic hypoxia. To assess the contribution of mitochondrial KATP channels, the rate of mitochondrial ATP synthesis was compared in normoxic and chronically hypoxic hearts. Our findings indicate that acute activation of the mitochondrial KATP channel increases K+ influx into mitochondria, resulting in a reduction in the driving force for ATP synthesis. In addition, these findings indicate that KATP channels are tonically active in mitochondria isolated from hypoxic hearts and that this tonic activity may play a role in the alteration of mitochondrial bioenergetics, which renders the hypoxic heart more resistant to myocardial ischemia.

Creation of Hypoxia From Birth
Pregnant New Zealand White rabbits were obtained from New Franken Research Rabbits (New Franken, Wis). Animals used in this study received humane care in compliance with the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals, formulated by the National Research Council, 1996. For the hypoxic studies, the kits were born in a normoxic environment and then transferred to a hypoxic environment (FIO2=0.12) immediately after their first feeding.1 2 3 The oxygen in the chamber was maintained at this level throughout the remainder of the study. For normoxic studies, the kits were raised under identical conditions except that FIO2 in the environmental chamber remained at 0.21 for the duration of the study. The age of the rabbits at the time of the study was 7 to 10 days.
Assessment of Ventricular Function
The isolated rabbit heart model was used for these
studies and was instrumented as previously
described.2 11
The standard perfusate used was Krebs-Henseleit bicarbonate
buffer.12
Immediately after aortic cannulation, hearts were perfused at a
constant pressure of 43 mm Hg in the Langendorff mode for 30 minutes,
during which time balloons were placed in both the left and right
ventricles. Biventricular function and coronary flow rate were then
recorded under steady-state
conditions.2 3
Hearts were then perfused with either a KATP
opener (bimakalim, 1 µmol/L) or a KATP blocker
(glibenclamide, 1 µmol/L, or 5-HD, 300 µmol/L) for another 15
minutes before a 30-minute period of global, no-flow ischemia at
39°C. After the ischemic period, hearts were reperfused for 35
minutes, during which time the various indexes of cardiac function were
again measured under steady-state conditions. Thus, each heart served
as its own control.
Mitochondrial ATP Synthesis, Membrane
Potential, and Ventricular ATP Concentrations
Mitochondria were isolated from normoxic and hypoxic
hearts by differential centrifugation as described by Solem and
Wallace.13 Cardiac
mitochondria prepared by this methodology have been shown to be
metabolically active with respiratory control ratios of 3.5 to 5.0 with
succinate and 8.0 to 10.0 with glutamate/malate and corresponding
ADP/O2 ratios of 1.5 to 1.7 and 2.5 to 2.7.
Mitochondrial ATP synthesis was measured in the presence of complex I
substrates (pyruvate plus malate) as previously
described.14
Semiquantitative measurements of the potential difference across the
inner mitochondrial membrane were determined spectrofluorometrically
using the dye
rhodamine-123.15 ATP
concentrations were determined in ventricular tissue extracts by
luciferin-luciferase
luminometry.14 16 17
Statistical Analysis
Recovery of developed pressure was expressed as a
percentage of its predrug value. A minimum of 6 hearts was used for
each of the 10 conditions studied, and the results are expressed as
mean±SD or mean±SE. Statistical analysis was performed by use of
repeated-measures ANOVA, with the Greenhouse-Geisser adjustment used to
correct for the inflated risk of a type I
error.18 After
ANOVA, the data were corrected for multiple comparisons. Significance
was accepted at a level of
P<0.05.

Contribution of the KATP Channel to Postischemic Recovery of Ventricular Function in Normoxic and Chronically Hypoxic Immature Rabbit Hearts
Table 1
and
Figure 1 illustrate the effects of bimakalim (1 µmol/L),
glibenclamide (1 µmol/L), and 5-HD (300 µmol/L) on the recovery of
postischemic left ventricular function in hearts from normoxic and
hypoxic rabbits perfused at constant pressure. These experiments were
conducted using the same concentrations of KATP
channel openers and blockers in the perfused hearts used to examine
KATP function in isolated mitochondria. Recovery
of postischemic left ventricular developed pressure in normoxic and
hypoxic hearts was 42±4% (45±4% for the normoxic no-intervention
control for 5-HD) and 69±5% (67±4% for the hypoxic no-intervention
control for 5-HD), respectively, consistent with our previous findings
showing that hypoxia increases the tolerance of the heart to subsequent
ischemia.2 As shown
in
Figure 1A, the KATP channel opener
bimakalim (1 µmol/L) increased recovery in normoxic hearts from
42±4% to 67±5% but had no effect on recovery of function in hypoxic
hearts (72±5%). Thus, bimakalim increased the recovery of normoxic
hearts to that observed in hypoxic hearts but did not alter functional
recovery in hypoxic hearts. Conversely, the KATP
channel blockers glibenclamide (1 µmol/L) and 5-HD (300 µmol/L) had
no effect on recovery of developed pressure in normoxic hearts but
decreased recovery in hypoxic hearts from 69±5% to 43±4% in
experiments conducted with glibenclamide (1 µmol/L) and from 67±5%
to 52±5% in experiments conducted with 5-HD (300 µmol/L)
(Figure 1B).

Effect of Chronic Hypoxia on Mitochondrial ATP
Synthesis and Myocardial Energy Metabolism
ATP synthesis was measured in mitochondria
isolated from hearts of normoxic and chronically hypoxic rabbits in the
presence of the complex I substrates pyruvate and
malate.14 16 17
As shown in
Figure 2, the rate of ATP synthesis in cardiac mitochondria
was linear for 10 to 12 minutes in mitochondria isolated from both
normoxic and hypoxic rabbits. The rate of ATP production in hypoxic
heart mitochondria (3.82±0.23 µmol ATP ·
min-1 · mg mitochondrial
protein-1) was significantly greater than
the rate of ATP production in normoxic heart mitochondria (2.95±0.08
µmol ATP · min-1 · mg mitochondrial
protein-1). ATP concentrations before the
addition of respiratory substrates were 63±4 µmol/mg of
mitochondrial protein in normoxic heart mitochondria and 73±12
µmol/mg in hypoxic heart mitochondria.
|
Other differences in myocardial energy metabolism were also
apparent in chronically hypoxic versus normoxic immature rabbit hearts.
Table 2 shows that ventricular lactate concentrations were
twice as high in hypoxic hearts than normoxic hearts and ventricular
lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) concentrations were 35% greater in hypoxic
than normoxic hearts. In addition, we have previously reported a shift
in the LDH isoform distribution toward the M or LD5 isoform in hypoxic
hearts.2 These
changes are indicative of an increased dependency on anaerobic
glycolysis for energy production in hypoxic hearts. The combination of
increased mitochondrial ATP production and increased glycolytic ATP
production is likely to be responsible for the observation that
myocardial ATP concentrations did not differ between normoxic and
hypoxic hearts
(Table 2).

KATP
Channel–Mediated Alterations in Mitochondrial ATP Synthesis
Activation of the mitochondrial
KATP channel has been shown to increase
K+ influx into the mitochondrial matrix,
resulting in mitochondrial membrane depolarization and a reduction in
the driving force for ATP
synthesis.5 8 10
The effects of KATP channel openers and blockers
on ATP synthesis in mitochondria isolated from normoxic rabbit hearts
are shown in
Figures 3 and 4. As shown in
Figure 3, the KATP channel opener
bimakalim inhibited the rate of ATP synthesis in mitochondria isolated
from normoxic rabbit hearts. In the presence of 1 µmol/L bimakalim,
the rate of ATP synthesis was reduced from 2.96±0.10 µmol
ATP · min-1 · mg mitochondrial
protein-1 to 1.56±0.22 µmol
ATP · min-1 · mg mitochondrial
protein-1, a 52% reduction in the rate of
ATP synthesis. The inhibitory action of bimakalim on mitochondrial ATP
synthesis was sensitive to the KATP channel
blocker glibenclamide (1 µmol/L). Glibenclamide (1 µmol/L) alone
had no effect on the rate of ATP synthesis in normoxic heart
mitochondria. However, the addition of glibenclamide (1 µmol/L)
before the addition of bimakalim prevented the inhibition of ATP
synthesis mediated by bimakalim.
Figure 3 also shows that the reduction in ATP synthesis
mediated by bimakalim (1 µmol/L) was abolished by the mitochondrial
selective KATP blocker 5-HD (300 µmol/L). As
with glibenclamide, 5-HD alone had no effect on the rate of
mitochondrial ATP synthesis but prevented the reduction of ATP
synthesis mediated by bimakalim.
|
|
Data presented in
Figure 4
show that the mitochondria-specific
KATP channel opener diazoxide (100 µmol/L)
also reduced the rate of ATP synthesis from 3.04±0.30 µmol
ATP · min-1 · mg mitochondrial
protein-1 to 2.03±0.30 µmol ATP ·
min-1 · mg mitochondrial
protein-1, a 32% reduction in the rate of
ATP synthesis. Furthermore, in nominally
K+-free medium, diazoxide (100 µmol/L) had
no effect on the rate of mitochondrial ATP synthesis indicating that
the effect of KATP channel openers on
mitochondrial ATP synthesis is dependent on the electrochemical
gradient for K+. The reduced rates of
mitochondrial ATP synthesis measured in nominally
K+-free medium are likely due to an increase
in K+-H+ antiport
activity.7 8
Although it is possible that a reduction in ATP synthesis might
interfere with the action of KATP channel
openers, the similarity of our findings with other studies
demonstrating that the effects of KATP channel
openers on mitochondrial membrane potential and mitochondrial swelling
are dependent on the electrochemical gradient for
K+ support this
interpretation.8 9
Effects of KATP
Channel Openers and Blockers on ATP Synthesis in Mitochondria Isolated
From Normoxic and Chronically Hypoxic Hearts
Figure 5A compares the effect of bimakalim on mitochondrial
ATP synthesis in normoxic and hypoxic heart mitochondria. In
mitochondria isolated from normoxic hearts, bimakalim produced a
concentration-dependent decrease in the rate of ATP synthesis, reducing
the rate of synthesis 50% at 1 µmol/L and 60% at 10 µmol/L. The
rate of ATP synthesis in hypoxic heart mitochondria was not affected by
the KATP channel opener bimakalim at
concentrations of 1 or 10 µmol/L.
Figure 5B compares the effect of the
KATP blockers glibenclamide (1 µmol/L) and
5-HD (300 µmol/L) on mitochondrial ATP synthesis in mitochondria
isolated from normoxic and chronically hypoxic immature rabbit hearts.
Neither KATP blocker altered the rate of ATP
synthesis in normoxic heart mitochondria; however, in hypoxic heart
mitochondria, both glibenclamide and 5-HD significantly reduced the
rate of ATP synthesis. Glibenclamide produced a 50% decrease in the
rate of ATP synthesis and 5-HD reduced ATP synthesis by
25%.

Mitochondrial Membrane Potential in
Mitochondria Isolated From Normoxic and Chronically Hypoxic
Hearts
Semiquantitative measurements of mitochondrial membrane
potential were determined using the fluorescent probe
rhodamine-123.15 In
the absence of KATP channel modulators, resting
membrane potential was remarkably similar in mitochondria isolated from
normoxic and hypoxic hearts. Isolated cardiac mitochondria have been
reported to have a membrane potential of -180±15 mV in studies using
the potential sensitive probe
tetraphenylphosphonium.9
Attempts to assess the effects of KATP channel
openers or blockers in mitochondria isolated from normoxic and hypoxic
hearts using rhodamine-123 were confounded by interactions between the
vehicle or the drugs and the fluorescent
probe.

We have demonstrated in rabbits that chronic exposure to hypoxia from birth increases the resistance of the heart to subsequent ischemia1 2 11 and that glibenclamide, a KATP channel blocker, abolishes this cardioprotective effect. More recently, we have shown that ischemic preconditioning in immature rabbit hearts also increased resistance to ischemia and that 5-HD abolished this cardioprotective effect.3 Thus, ischemic preconditioning and adaptation to chronic hypoxia in immature hearts appear to share a final common effector, the KATP channel.
In light of recent studies implicating the mitochondrial KATP channel in cardioprotection,10 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 we conducted experiments to examine the role of the mitochondrial KATP channel in adaptation to chronic hypoxia in immature hearts. To assess mitochondrial KATP channel function, we measured the effect of several KATP channel openers and blockers on mitochondrial ATP synthesis in metabolically active mitochondria isolated from hearts of normoxic and chronically hypoxic rabbits. This approach was predicated on the knowledge that activation of the mitochondrial KATP channel has been shown to increase the influx of K+ into mitochondria, resulting in mitochondrial depolarization and a reduction in the rate of ATP synthesis.9 The actions of KATP channel openers and blockers in mitochondria isolated from normoxic and hypoxic hearts paralleled their actions on cardiac function in isolated perfused hearts. KATP channel activation by bimakalim resulted in a decrease in the rate of ATP synthesis in normoxic heart mitochondria but had no effect on ATP synthesis in hypoxic heart mitochondria. Similarly, KATP channel activation markedly enhanced recovery of ventricular function in normoxic hearts but had no effect on functional recovery in hypoxic hearts. In normoxic heart mitochondria, the KATP blockers glibenclamide and 5-HD had no effect on the rate of ATP synthesis, suggesting that mitochondrial KATP channels are not tonically active. These blockers also had no effect on recovery of function in normoxic hearts. In contrast, in hypoxic heart mitochondria, KATP channel blockers reduced the rates of ATP synthesis to rates similar to those observed in normoxic heart mitochondria. In hypoxic hearts, both KATP blockers significantly attenuated cardioprotection. These results corroborate our previous findings in isolated perfused hearts1 2 3 and strongly suggest that enhanced activation of the mitochondrial KATP channel is an important component of the cardioprotective mechanisms involved in adaptation to hypoxic stress.
A second significant finding of these studies was the increased rate of ATP synthesis observed in mitochondria isolated from chronically hypoxic hearts. Moreover, there was no difference in myocardial ATP concentrations or in mitochondrial membrane potential in hypoxic versus normoxic hearts. One potential explanation for the apparent discrepancy between the inhibition of the rate of ATP synthesis observed in mitochondria isolated from normoxic immature rabbit hearts versus the enhanced rate of ATP synthesis after chronic hypoxia may be due to differences between acute versus chronic activation of the mitochondrial KATP channel. In the acute situation (ie, mitochondria isolated from normoxic hearts), activation of the mitochondrial KATP channel by KATP channel openers results in K+ influx into mitochondria, mitochondrial depolarization, and a reduction in the driving force for ATP production measured in the present studies as a reduction in the rate of ATP synthesis. Our data further indicate that chronic hypoxia produces a tonic activation of the mitochondrial KATP channel. This is likely to result in adaptive changes in mitochondrial physiology. The observation that resting mitochondrial membrane potential did not differ between mitochondria isolated from normoxic or hypoxic hearts provides further evidence of an adaptive response to tonic activation of the mitochondrial KATP channel. Other studies have provided evidence that mitochondrial bioenergetics and metabolism are fundamentally altered by chronic hypoxia with changes reported in mitochondrial creatine kinase activity and in the ADP and O2 dependence of mitochondrial respiration.25 26 Our findings suggest that an alteration in mitochondrial KATP channel function may be another component in mitochondrial adaptation to hypoxia. Recent studies showing involvement of the mitochondrial KATP channel in adaptation to high-altitude hypoxia further support this interpretation.27
Taken together, our findings suggest that the cardioprotective effects of mitochondrial KATP channel activation may be linked to improved oxidative metabolism and mitochondrial bioenergetics. An important role of the mitochondrial KATP channel is to regulate mitochondrial volume, which in turn is thought to regulate electron transport and bioenergetics.5 7 8 9 10 Opening of the mitochondrial KATP channel has been shown to shift the balance between K+ uniport and K+-H+ antiport, resulting in transient net K+ uptake and increased matrix volume.5 8 Halestrap7 has established that small increases in matrix volume stimulate electron transport and that activation of the mitochondrial KATP channel may trigger this response. Mitochondrial KATP channel activation may therefore be an essential component of a signal transduction pathway calling for increased ATP production to support increased work in the heart or possibly to compensate for decreased oxygen availability. Conversely, blockade of the mitochondrial KATP channel may interfere with the cellular or mitochondrial response to these signals. The reduction in the rate of ATP synthesis observed in mitochondria from hypoxic hearts treated with KATP channel blockers is consistent with this interpretation.
We have suggested that adaptation to chronic hypoxia represents a unique form of preconditioning, and we have recently supported this contention by showing that although immature normoxic hearts can be preconditioned, immature hypoxic hearts cannot be preconditioned.3 Furthermore, we have shown that the mechanism of preconditioning in the immature normoxic heart is associated with KATP channel activation and is abolished by the mitochondrial KATP channel blocker 5-HD.1 2 Although a direct link between mitochondrial KATP channel activation and myocardial protection remains to be established, several known consequences of mitochondrial KATP channel activation are likely to improve mitochondrial function after ischemia. Activation of the mitochondrial KATP channel results in K+ influx into mitochondria, expansion of mitochondrial matrix volume, and a reduction of the inner mitochondrial membrane potential established by the proton pump.5 6 7 8 9 10 Regulation of matrix volume is an essential element in the regulation of mitochondrial energy production, and matrix expansion secondary to mitochondrial KATP channel opening has been postulated to activate electron transport and stimulate mitochondrial metabolism.7 Our findings of increased rates of ATP synthesis in mitochondria isolated from hypoxic hearts are consistent with this mechanism.
In summary, our data in conjunction with the studies of other investigators support a role for mitochondrial KATP channel activation and its impact on mitochondrial bioenergetics as an important factor in increased resistance to ischemia in hearts adapted to chronic hypoxia.
