Direct and indirect activation of the adenosine triphosphate-sensitive potassium channel to induce spinal cord ischemic metabolic tolerance.
The mitochondrial adenosine triphosphate-sensitive potassium channel is central to pharmacologically induced tolerance to spinal cord injury. We hypothesized that both direct and nitric oxide-dependent indirect activation of the adenosine triphosphate-sensitive potassium channel contribute to the induction of ischemic metabolic tolerance.. Spinal cord injury was induced in adult male C57BL/6 mice through 7 minutes of thoracic aortic crossclamping. Pretreatment consisted of intraperitoneal injection 3 consecutive days before injury. Experimental groups were sham (no pretreatment or ischemia, n = 10), spinal cord injury control (pretreatment with normal saline, n = 27), Nicorandil 1.0 mg/kg (direct and indirect adenosine triphosphate-sensitive potassium channel opener, n = 20), Nicorandil 1 mg/kg + carboxy-PTIO 1 mg/kg (nitric oxide scavenger, n = 21), carboxy-PTIO (n = 12), diazoxide 5 mg/kg (selective direct adenosine triphosphate-sensitive potassium channel opener, n = 25), and DZ 5 mg/kg+ carboxy-PTIO 1 mg/kg, carboxy-PTIO (n = 23). Limb motor function was assessed using the Basso Mouse Score (0-9) at 12-hour intervals for 48 hours after ischemia.. Motor function was significantly preserved at all time points after ischemia in the Nicorandil pretreatment group compared with ischemic control. The addition of carboxy-PTIO partially attenuated Nicorandil's motor-preserving effect. Motor function in the Nicorandil + carboxy-PTIO group was significantly preserved compared with the spinal cord injury control group (P < .001), but worse than in the Nicorandil group (P = .078). Motor preservation in the diazoxide group was similar to the Nicorandil + carboxy-PTIO group. There was no significant difference between the diazoxide and diazoxide + carboxy-PTIO groups.. Both direct and nitric oxide-dependent indirect activation of the mitochondrial adenosine triphosphate-sensitive potassium channel play an important role in pharmacologically induced motor function preservation.
