Impact of spinal anesthesia on myocardial damage, ultrastructure and cellular mechanisms in rats undergoing thoracic incision surgery
Aims
This study aimed to investigate the impact of surgery on cardiac injury and microscopic ultrastructural changes in the heart, as well as the potential protective cellular mechanisms of spinal anesthesia.
Methods
Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to four groups: Control (regular rats), Sham (received spinal saline injection), Surgery (received spinal saline followed by surgery) and Bupivacaine (received spinal bupivacaine 0.5 %, 50 μL followed by surgery), and Bupivacaine (received spinal bupivacaine 0.5 %, 50 μL followed by surgery). The serum and hearts of the rats were assessed for troponin I, NT-proBNP, electron microscopy, catecholamines, markers of oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum stress, as well as apoptosis and autophagy.
Results
After surgery, the hearts showed signs of injury, with decreased tissue troponin I and elevated NT-proBNP levels. Electron microscopy revealed mitochondrial swelling, disarrangement and cytosolic vacuoles. Serum epinephrine levels and expression of β1 and β2 adrenergic receptors were elevated. Serum nitrate and nitrite levels (markers of oxidative stress), along with the ER stress indicator GRP78 and autophagy indicators LC3 and LAMP-1, were heightened, and cardiomyocyte apoptosis increased. These effects can be mitigated with the use of spinal bupivacaine.
Conclusions
Surgery can cause ultrastructural and cellular damage, elevate sympathetic activity, oxidative stress, and endoplasmic reticulum stress, leading to autophagy and cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Spinal anesthesia can protect the heart from these injuries.
期刊介绍:
Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology publishes original scientific research of relevance to animals or humans pertaining to the action of chemicals, drugs, or chemically-defined natural products.
Regular articles address mechanistic approaches to physiological, pharmacologic, biochemical, cellular, or molecular understanding of toxicologic/pathologic lesions and to methods used to describe these responses. Safety Science articles address outstanding state-of-the-art preclinical and human translational characterization of drug and chemical safety employing cutting-edge science. Highly significant Regulatory Safety Science articles will also be considered in this category. Papers concerned with alternatives to the use of experimental animals are encouraged.
Short articles report on high impact studies of broad interest to readers of TAAP that would benefit from rapid publication. These articles should contain no more than a combined total of four figures and tables. Authors should include in their cover letter the justification for consideration of their manuscript as a short article.
