{{Reperfusion injury}}
==Overview==

The most common myth about the [[Ischemia-reperfusion injury|ischemia-reperfusion]] injury is itself related to [[blood]] flow. One can easily think like if everything is happening due to [[ischemia]] and with the restoration of [[blood flow]], the injury should [[Healing|heal]]. Here is the trick, [[reperfusion]] in turn further exacerbates the injury mainly due to the formation of [[free radicals]]. There are few approaches that are studied widely and do play a major role in controlling the [[injury]] related to [[ischemia-reperfusion injury]]
 
* Prevent generation of [[free radicals]]( Oxidative stress) or Increase the [[Tissue (biology)|tissue's]] capacity to trap the [[free radicals]]
* Controlling the [[neutrophil]] activation and [[Infiltration (medical)|infiltration]] of [[Ischemic|ischemic tissue]]
* [[Hypoxic]] [[pre-conditioning]]
 
[[Hyperbaric oxygen]] therapy is also studied widely and best suited when used within 6 hrs of [[hypoxia]] as it helps in the reduction of local and [[Hypoxemia|systemic hypoxia]] and in turn, increases the [[Survival rate|survival]] of affected [[tissue]].

** It has been shown in rats that [[Neuron|neurons]] sometimes die completely 24 hours after the [[blood flow]] returns. Some claim that this delayed reaction is the result of the multiple [[Inflammation|inflammatory]] [[immune responses]] that occur during [[reperfusion]]. Such inflammatory reactions cause i[[Intracranial pressure|ntracranial pressure]], a pressure that leads to [[Cell disruption|cell damage]] and [[cell death]] in some cases. [[Hypothermia]] has been shown to help reduce [[intracranial pressure]] and thus decrease the adverse effects of inflammatory immune responses during [[reperfusion]]. Besides that, reperfusion also increases [[Free-radical theory|free radical]] development. [[Hypothermia]] has also been shown to decrease the patient's development of deadly [[free radicals]] during [[reperfusion]].

*'''Cyclosporine'''
** In addition to its well-known [[Immunosuppression|immunosuppressive]] capabilities, the one-time administration of [[cyclosporine]] at the time of [[percutaneous coronary intervention]] (PCI) has been found to deliver a 40 percent reduction in [[infarct]] size in a small group proof of concept study of human patients with [[reperfusion injury]] published in The New England Journal of Medicine in 2008.[[File:Myocardial Treatment In IRI.jpg|thumb|Treatment OF IRI]][[Cyclosporine]] has been confirmed in studies to inhibit the actions of [[Cyclophilin|cyclophilin D]], a protein which is induced by excessive [[Intracellular calcium-sensing proteins|intracellular calcium]] flow to interact with other pore components and help open the [[Mitochondrial membrane transport protein|MPT pore]]. Inhibiting [[Cyclophilin|cyclophilin D]] has been shown to prevent the opening of the MPT pore and protect the [[Mitochondrion|mitochondria]] and cellular energy production from excessive [[calcium]] inflows.

**[[Reperfusion]] leads to biochemical imbalances within the cell that lead to [[cell death]] and increased [[Infarct|infarct size]]. More specifically, [[calcium]] overload and excessive production of [[Reactive oxygen species|reactive oxygen]] species in the first few minutes after [[reperfusion]] set off a cascade of biochemical changes that result in the opening of the so-called [[Mitochondrial permeability transition|mitochondrial permeability transition pore]] (MPT pore) in the [[mitochondrial membrane]] of [[Heart|cardiac cells]].
**[[Cyclosporine]] works by inhibiting the action of [[Cyclophilin|Cyclophilin D]] which usually helps in opening [[Mitochondrial membrane transport protein]]<ref name="pmid17595511">{{cite journal |vauthors=Javadov S, Karmazyn M |title=Mitochondrial permeability transition pore opening as an endpoint to initiate cell death and as a putative target for cardioprotection |journal=Cell.

So once [[Cyclophilin|cyclophilin D]] action is inhibited, there is no more MPT pore opening and in turn, saves the [[mitochondria]] from getting damaged.
**<nowiki/>The opening of the MPT pore leads to the inrush of water into the [[mitochondria]], resulting in [[Mitochondrion|mitochondrial]] dysfunction and [[Collapse (medical)|collapse]]. Upon collapse, the [[calcium]] is then released to overwhelm the next [[Mitochondrion|mitochondria]] in a cascading series of events that cause [[Mitochondrion|mitochondria]]<nowiki/>l energy production supporting the cell to be reduced or stopped completely. The cessation of [[energy]] production results in [[cellular death]]. Protecting [[Mitochondrion|mitochondria]] is a viable [[cardio]] protective strategy.
**The opening of [[Mitochondrial membrane transport protein|MTP Pore]] results in major [[cell]] destruction by causing the influx of water into [[mitochondria]], impairing its function and ultimately leading to the [[collapse]]. The strategy to protect [[mitochondria]] is the most important thing associated with the [[Treatment|treatment part]].

Limitations to applying strategies that have demonstrated benefit in animal models is the fact that [[reperfusion therapy]] was administered prior to or at the time of reperfusion.  In the management of STEMI patients, it is impossible to administer the agent before vessel occlusion (except during [[coronary artery bypass grafting]]).  Given the time constraints and the goal of opening an occluded artery within 90 minutes, it is also difficult to administer experimental agents before reperfusion in [[STEMI]].

Overview

The most common myth about the ischemia-reperfusion injury is itself related to blood flow. One can easily think like if everything is happening due to ischemia and with the restoration of blood flow, the injury should heal. Here is the trick, reperfusion in turn further exacerbates the injury mainly due to the formation of free radicals. There are few approaches that are studied widely and do play a major role in controlling the injury related to ischemia-reperfusion injury

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is also studied widely and best suited when used within 6 hrs of hypoxia as it helps in the reduction of local and systemic hypoxia and in turn, increases the survival of affected tissue.

Medical Therapy

Reperfusion injury treatment, shown at various steps the intermediates and the possible drugs and compounds that can help to inhibit those steps and in turn decresing the incidence of reperfusion injury at various steps. [1]

Various proposed medical managements studied are:

  • Hydrogen sulfide treatment
  • Ischemic Conditioning Flow chart- Ischemic Conditioning Mechanism- Role of ischemic conditioning in preventing and minimizing the damage associated with Reperfusion injury. [2]
    Stem cell therapy

Therapies Associated with Improved Clinical Outcomes

Pre-conditioning and Post-conditioning benefits in preventing severe damage to tissue during the ischemia-reperfusion injury. [3]

Therapies that have been associated with improved clinical outcomes include:

  1. "Preconditioning" - Preconditioning is basically an adaptive response in which ischemia is exposed for a brief period of time before the actual ischemia phase to the tissue. This phenomenon markedly increases the ability of the heart to withstand subsequent ischemic insults[15]. In addition to that, the application of brief episodes of ischemia at the onset of reperfusion is termed as "postconditioning" which reduces the extent of injury that is supposed to happen.
  2. "Postconditioning" (short repeated periods of vessel opening by repeatedly blowing the balloon up for short periods of time)[16].
  3. Inhibition of mitochondrial pore opening by cyclosporine.

Limitations to applying strategies that have demonstrated benefit in animal models are the fact that reperfusion therapy was administered prior to or at the time of reperfusion. In the management of STEMI patients, it is impossible to administer the agent before vessel occlusion (except during coronary artery bypass grafting). Given the time constraints and the goal of opening an occluded artery within 90 minutes, it is also difficult to administer experimental agents before reperfusion in STEMI.

Therapies Associated with Limited Success

Pharmacotherapies that have either failed or that have met with limited success in improving clinical outcomes include:

  1. Beta-blockade[18]
  2. GIK (glucose-insulin-potassium infusion) (Studied in the Glucose-Insulin-Potassium Infusion in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction Without Signs of Heart Failure: The Glucose-Insulin-Potassium Study (GIPS)-II and other older studies
  3. Sodium-hydrogen exchange inhibitors such as cariporide[19](Studied in the GUARDIAN and EXPEDITION trials)
  4. Adenosine (Studied in the AMISTAD I and AMISTAD II trials as well as ATTACC trial ). It should be noted that at high doses in anterior ST elevation myocardial infarction|ST elevation MI adenosine was effective in the AMISTAD trial. Likewise, intracoronary administration of adenosine prior to primary PCI has been associated with improved echocardiographic and clinical outcomes in one small study.
  5. Calcium-channel blockers[20]
  6. Potassium–adenosine triphosphate channel[21] openers
  7. Antibodies directed against leukocyte adhesion molecules such as CD 18 (Studied in the LIMIT AMI trial )
  8. Oxygen free radical scavengers/anti-oxidants, including Erythropoietin, estrogen, heme-oxygenase 1, and hypoxia induced factor-1 (HIF-1).
  9. Pexelizumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody that binds the C5 component of complement (Studied in the Pexelizumab for ST elevation myocardial infarction|Acute ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction in Patients Undergoing Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (APEX AMI) trial )
  10. KAI-9803, a delta-protein kinase C inhibitor(Studied in the Intracoronary KAI-9803 as an adjunct to primary percutaneous coronary intervention for acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction trial or DELTA AMI trial).
  11. Human atrial natriuretic peptide[22] (Studied in the Human atrial natriuretic peptide and nicorandil as adjuncts to reperfusion treatment for acute myocardial infarction (J-WIND): two randomized trials.)
  12. FX06, an anti-inflammatory fibrin derivative that competes with fibrin fragments for binding with the vascular endothelial molecule VE-cadherin which deters migration of leukocytes across the endothelial cell monolayer (studied in the F.I.R.E. trial (Efficacy of FX06 in the Prevention of Myocardial Reperfusion Injury)
  13. Magnesium[23], which was evaluated by the Fourth International Study of Infarct Survival (ISIS-4) and the MAGIC trial.
  14. Hyperoxemia, the delivery of supersaturated oxygen after PCI (Studied in the AMIHOT II trial).
  15. Bendavia studied in the EMBRACE STEMI trial

There are several explanations for why trials of experimental agents have failed in this area:

  1. The therapy was administered after reperfusion and after reperfusion injury had set in
  2. The greatest benefit is observed in anterior ST-elevation myocardial infarctions (as demonstrated in the AMISTAD study), and inclusion of non-anterior locations minimizes the potential benefit
  3. There are uninhibited redundant pathways mediating reperfusion injury
  4. Inadequate dosing of the agent
