Chronic systemic hypoxia (SH) enhances myocardial ischemic tolerance in mammals. We studied the delayed cardioprotection caused by acute SH and associated signaling mechanism. Conscious adult male mice were exposed to one or two cycles of hypoxia (H; 10% O2) or normoxia (21% O2) for various durations (30 min, 2 h, 4 h) followed by 24 h of reoxygenation. Hearts were isolated 24 h later and subjected to ischemia-reperfusion in a Langendorff model. Infarct size was reduced in mice pretreated with one (H4h) or two cycles (H4hx2) of 4 h SH compared with normoxia mice (P < 0.05), which was abolished by an inducible nitric oxide synthase (NOS2) inhibitor (S-methylisothiourea, 3 mg/kg) given before SH or ischemia. H4hx2 also failed to reduce infarct size in NOS2 knockout mice. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor (NS-398, 10 mg/kg) did not block the protection given either before H4hx2 or ischemia. A two- to three fold increase in myocardial NOS2 expression was observed in H4h, H2hx2, and H4hx2 (P < 0.05), whereas endothelial NOS (NOS3) or COX-2 remained unchanged. We conclude that acute SH induces delayed cardioprotection, which is triggered and mediated by NOS2, but not by NOS3 or COX-2.
