The present study analyzes the mechanisms by which these substances mediate their cardiodepressive effect. After 10 min of global stop-flow ischemia, rat hearts were reperfused and coronary effluent was collected over a period of 30 s. We tested the effect of this postischemic effluent on systolic cell shortening and Ca 2+ metabolism by application of fluorescence microscopy of field-stimulated rat cardiomyocytes stained with fura-2 AM. Cells were preincubated with various inhibitors, e.g., the cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitor indomethacin, the COX-2 inhibitors NS-398 and lumiracoxib, the COX-1 inhibitor SC-560, and the potassium (ATP) channel blocker glibenclamide. Lysates of cardiomyocytes and extracts from whole rat hearts were tested for expression of COX-2 with Western blot analysis. As a result, in contrast to nonischemic effluent (control), postischemic effluent induced a reduction of Ca 2+ transient and systolic cell shortening in the rat cardiomyocytes ( P < 0.001 vs. control). After preincubation of cells with indomethacin, NS-398, and lumiracoxib, the negative inotropic effect was attenuated. SC-560 did not influence the effect of postischemic effluent. The inducibly expressed COX-2 was detected in cardiomyocytes prepared for fluorescence microscopy. The effect of postischemic effluent was eliminated with applications of glibenclamide. Furthermore, postischemic effluent significantly reduced the intracellular diastolic and systolic Ca 2+ increase ( P < 0.01 vs. control). In conclusion, the cardiodepressive effect of postischemic effluent is COX-2 dependent and protective against Ca 2+ overload in the cells. cyclooxygenase; potassium adenosine 5'-triphosphate channels Address for reprint requests and other correspondence: S.
