    Notizen: Abstract Many isolated adult cardiocytes do not survive beyond the early days of culture, but why they die has not been defined. We examined the possibility of apoptosis as the mechanism of death in cultured atrial and ventricular rat cardiocytes. Calcium-tolerant cardiocytes isolated by enzymatic dissociation were cultured with a medium containing FBS. Nucleosomal DNA fragmentation was detected by electrophoresis of DNA extracted from the cardiocytes, by immunohistochemical in situ DNA nick-end labelling of single cells, and by enzyme immunoassay for in vitro quantification in cytoplasmic fraction. Electrophoresis on the 5th to 14th day of culture revealed the ladder appearance characteristic of internucleosomal DNA cleavage in apoptosis with a consistent single peak of increased cytoplasmic DNA fragments. After the 14th day, the cytoplasmic DNA fragments decreased, and the ladder appearance could no longer be detected by electrophoresis. Cardiocytes positive with nick-end labelling were seen by the 5th day, and then increased in number over the remaining days. These results indicate that many isolated cardiocytes die spontaneously by apoptosis within the first 2 weeks of culture, suggesting a possible signal dependence for survival of adult cardiocytes. In addition to chemical signal depletion in culture, other possible explanations for this apoptosis include the absence of an electric signal during culture, lack of contractile activity, and initial loss of intercellular connections.

    Notizen: Abstract The objective of this study was to determine whether the known myocardial degeneration in TTP is due to apoptosis. In TTP the heart is often involved, including the cardiac conduction system. Despite many platelet occlusions of small coronary arteries, there is little myocardial necrosis. Why the intermittent clinical episodes begin or end is unknown. Six hearts of patients dying with TTP were examined with routine and immunohistochemical stains. In addition to ventricular and atrial myocardium we examined the cardiac conduction system and coronary chemoreceptor. Numerous small coronary arteries were occluded with platelet thrombi in all these sites, including especially the sinus node, AV node and His bundle. The myocardial degeneration we found was conspicuously devoid of inflammation and the myocytes were relatively intact. These characteristics combined with TUNEL-positivity in the degenerating cells are typical of apoptosis. The focal degeneration in TTP is primarily apoptotic. Because circulating serotonin is carried by platelets and is released during aggregation, and because serotonin can cause a powerful cardiogenic hypertensive chemoreflex, we suggest that such a response may dislodge early platelet aggregations. Lessons from TTP may have special relevance for better understanding of myocardial reperfusion problems associated with angioplasty, thrombolysis and ischemic preconditioning.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Zusammenfassung Serotonin bewirkt bei Injektion in den linken Vorhof von Hunden einen hypertensiven Chemoreflex. Um das Muster der nervalen Übermittlung zu klären, wurden bei 8 narkotisierten Hunden mit offenem Thorax Ableitungen von thorakalen sympathischen (efferenten) Nerven vorgenommen. Serotonin (200 μg) verursacht massive sympathische Entladungen während der Hypertension und Bradykardie, die für den Chemoreflex charakteristisch sind. Nach der initialen sympathischen Entladung kam es regelmäßig zu einer postexzitatorischen Depression auf ein Niveau, das eindeutig unter Kontrollbedingungen lag. Diese postexzitatorische Depression begann im Mittel 11 s nach der Serotoninjektion und durchschnittlich 6,6 s nach der neuralen Spitzenentladung. Sie dauerte im Mittel 140 s und erreichte initial maximale Werte mit allmählichem Rückgang. Komplette Blockierung der hypertensiven Reaktion durch kombinierte Verabreichung von Phentolamin. Propranolol und Nitroglycerin konnte die nervalen Vorgänge nicht beseitigen einschließlich der postexzitatorischen Depression (mit Ausnahme eines Hundes). Wir schließen daraus, daß die postexzitatorische Depression thorakaler sympathischer Efferenzen nicht ausschließlich durch die sekundäre Beteiligung eines Barorezeptormechanismus vermittelt werden kann. Sie gehört wahrscheinlich zum Wesen des kardiogenen hypertensiven Chemoreflexes.
    Notizen: Summary Serotonin injected in the left atrium activates a cardiogenic hypertensive chemoreflex in dogs. To elucidate patterns of the neural traffic, records were obtained from thoracic sympathetic efferent nerves (either the anterior ansa of the left stellate ganglion or the T4 input to the left stellate) in 8 anesthetized dogs with chests open. Serotonin (200 μg, left atrium) caused a massive sympathetic discharge during the hypertension and bradycardia characteristic of the chemoreflex. Following the initial sympathetic discharge, there was a consistent post-excitatory depression of neural traffic, to a level significantly less than control discharge (two-tailed p≤.05). This post-excitatory depression began 11±5.4 (S.D.) seconds after injection of serotonin and 6.6±5.3 seconds after the peak neural discharge. It lasted 140±94 seconds, being maximal initially with gradual recovery. Complete block of the hypertension by the combined administration of phentolamine, propranolol, and nitroglycerin failed to abolish the efferent neural events, including postexcitatory depression, in all but one dog. We conclude that post-excitatory depression in thoracic sympathetic efferent neural traffic cannot be mediated exclusively through the secondary engagement of a baroreceptor mechanism and that it most likely is an integral part of the cardiogenic hypertensive chemoreflex.
