Pharmacological uncoupling of mitochondrial oxidation from phosphorylation promotes preconditioning-like cardioprotection in the isolated rat heart. We hypothesized that modest mitochondrial uncoupling may be a critical cellular event in orchestrating preconditioning. Human-derived Girardi cells and murine C2C12 skeletal myotubes were preconditioned using simulated ischemia, adenosine, and diazoxide. Cell viability after 6 hours of simulated ischemia was measured using lactate dehydrogenase release and propidium iodide uptake. Mitochondrial inner membrane potential (DeltaPsim) was investigated by flow cytometry, cellular ATP by recombinant firefly-luciferase bioluminescence, and cellular oxygen consumption using oximetry. Preconditioning enhanced cell viability with attenuation of lactate dehydrogenase release (&gt;/=30%, P&lt;0.05 versus ischemic controls) and a reduction in propidium iodide uptake by &gt;/=26% versus ischemic controls after simulated ischemia in both cell lines. In Girardi cells, preconditioning induced the following phenotype immediately before index ischemia: (1) decreased DeltaPsim (JC-1: simulated ischemia 90+/-3%, adenosine 82+/-7%, diazoxide 87+/-4%, versus control 100%, P&lt;0.05); (2) attenuation in cellular ATP levels (CTL 0.21+/-0.03 nmol/L ATP/microg protein, simulated ischemia 0.12+/-0.02, adenosine 0.15+/-0.02, diazoxide 0.11+/-0.02, P&lt;0.05); and (3) enhanced cellular oxygen consumption (control 2.3+/-0.1 nmol/L oxygen/min/1x10(6) cells, simulated ischemia 3.1+/-0.1, adenosine 3.1+/-0.3, diazoxide 2.6+/-0.2, P&lt;0.05). Cytoprotection, mitochondrial depolarization, and enhanced oxygen consumption were attenuated by the putative mitochondrial K(ATP)-channel antagonist 5-hydroxydecanoate. The uncoupled phenotype in response to preconditioning was similarly observed in C2C12 myotubes. The present study suggests that modest mitochondrial uncoupling represents a unifying cellular response which may be important in directing preconditioning-mediated cytoprotection.
