N2 - Prostacyclin production in cultured cardiomyocytes is not induced by cellular ATP depletion per se, suggesting that the mechanism of ischemic injury is more complex. In the present study we subjected cultured ventricular myocytes to 'simulated ischemia' followed by reoxygenation. A slight increase in 6-keto-PGF(1α) (the stable metabolite of PGI2) was found during 'ischemia', which continued to increase markedly during reoxygenation. PGE2 levels were pronouncedly enhanced during ischemia but decreased during reoxygenation, and TXB2 levels remained undetectable throughout. These findings reflect a cardiomyocyte response to anoxic injury, suggesting that they act to protect against cardiac injury by producing the potent vasodilators PGI2 and PGE2 during ischemia and reoxygenation.
