Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Background: The cardiomyocytes apoptosis induced by ischemia-reperfusion(I/R) is one of the most important factors in the myocardial I/R injury(MIRI) undergoing cardiac valve replacement with cardiopulmonary bypass(CVRCPB),and Ischemic postconditioning (I-postC) can inhibit apoptosis of myocardial cells. Consequently, this study investigated the key genes and apoptosis signaling pathways of myocardium in patients undergoing CVRCPB.

Methods: A total of 36 New York Heart Association class II or III patients with rheumatic heart disease (RHD) of both sexes, aged 21-59 years, who were scheduled for first cardiac valve replacement with CPB in the investigators' hospital from February 2014 to May 2015, were randomly divided into the following three groups (n=12 each): negative control group (NEG group); I/R group (POS group); and I-postC group (Treat group). In the Treat group, the procedure involved 5 min before opening the ascending aorta, aortic unclamping for 30 s, and cross-clamping for 30 s for three cycles, after which the ascending aorta was completely opened. The NEG and Treat groups were not treated. Thirty-six patients were assessed for arrhythmia and recovery of myocardial contractile function after reperfusion by electrocardiograms and degree of dependence on vasoactive drugs. The myocardial tissues of the right atrial appendage were obtained at 3 min before CPB was established in the NEG group, and at 45 min after opening the aorta in the POS and Treat groups. In all three groups, the myocardial tissues of the right atrial appendage were obtained and preserved at -80°C for further experiments. The right atrial appendage of three patients randomly selected in each group was fixed with RNA later (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) in a centrifuge tube overnight at 4°C, and then preserved at -20°C for RNA extraction. Human 12×135K Gene Array profiling of mRNA expressions was undertaken in human cardiac muscle cells. Differentially expressed mRNAs verified by quantitative real-time RT-PCR were subjected to pathway analysis. The mRNA expressions of AIF, APAF1, CYCS, Bax, caspase-3, caspase-9, caspase-6, caspase-7, BCL2, BAG1, and PI3K were assessed by real-time RT-PCR and western blot analysis. The levels of myocardial apoptosis induced by I/R were investigated by TUNEL assays. The changes in MIRI induced by myocardial apoptosis were investigated by pathologic examination of the myocardium.
