Ischemic preconditioning (PC) induces delayed phase of protection, known as the second window of protection (SWOP). We investigated this phenomenon in rat and correlated it with the expression of 72-kDa heat shock protein (HSP 72). Rats were preconditioned with 1, 2, and 3 cycles of 5-min left anterior descending artery occlusions, each separated by a 10-min reperfusion (PC × 1, PC × 2 and PC × 3, respectively). Another group of rats was preconditioned with heat shock (HS) by raising temperature to 42°C for 15 min. Twenty-four hours later, rats were given sustained ischemia for 30 min and 90 min of reperfusion. Infarct sizes (%risk area) were 40.0 ± 7.5, 37.6 ± 5.6, and 47.6 ± 2.4 (mean ± SE) for PC × 1, PC × 2, and PC × 3 hearts, respectively, which were not different from the sham (49.9 ± 3.9, P > 0.05). In contrast, infarct size was reduced from 47.5 ± 3.8% in sham to 4.7 ± 2.3% (P < 0.01) 24 h after HS. Additionally, early PC significantly reduced infarct size from 47.5 ± 3.8% in controls to 6.0 ± 1.2 and 5.0 ± 1.1% with PC × 1 and PC × 3. Repeated PC cycles induced over a threefold increase in HSP 70 mRNA after 2 h compared with sham (P < 0.05). HSP 72, which increased 24 h after PC or HS, was not significantly different between the two PC stimuli. We conclude that PC does not induce SWOP in rat heart despite enhanced expression of HSP 72. In contrast, HS-induced delayed protection was associated with enhanced accumulation of HSP 72. It is possible that SWOP and HS have distinct mechanisms of protection that may not be exclusively related to HSP 72 expression.
