Cardioprotective effects of anesthetic preconditioning and cyclosporine A (CsA) are lost with aging. To extend our previous work and address a possible mechanism underlying age-related differences, we investigated the role of oxidative stress in the aging heart by treating senescent animals with the oxygen free radical scavenger Tempol. Old male Fischer 344 rats (22–24 mo) were randomly assigned to control or Tempol treatment groups for 2 or 4 wk (T×2wk and T×4wk, respectively). Rats received isoflurane 30 min before ischemia-reperfusion injury or CsA just before reperfusion. Myocardial infarction sizes were significantly reduced by isoflurane or CsA in the aged rats treated with Tempol (T×4wk) compared with old control rats. In other experiments, young (4–6 mo) and old rats underwent either chronic Tempol or vehicle treatment, and the levels of myocardial protein oxidative damage, antioxidant enzymes, mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake, cyclophilin D protein, and mitochondrial permeability transition pore opening times were measured. T×4wk significantly increased MnSOD enzyme activity, GSH-to-GSSH ratios, MnSOD protein level, mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake capacity, reduced protein nitrotyrosine levels, and normalized cyclophilin D protein expression in the aged rat heart. T×4wk also significantly prolonged mitochondrial permeability transition pore opening times induced by reactive oxygen species in old cardiomyocytes. Our studies demonstrate that 4 wk of Tempol pretreatment restores anesthetic preconditioning and cardioprotection by CsA in the old rat and that this is associated with decreased oxidative stress and improved mitochondrial function. Our results point to a new protective strategy for the ischemic myocardium in the high-risk older population.
