BACKGROUND: Successful organ preservation is the premise for clinical organ transplantation. The present study investigated whether heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is important in the anti-apoptotic effect of diazoxide in hypothermic preservation rat hearts. METHODS: Isolated rat hearts were preserved in Celsior solution, with or without diazoxide, for 3 to 9 hours, followed by 60 minutes of reperfusion. Cell apoptosis was assessed by terminal deoxynucleotide transferase-mediated deoxy uridine triphosphate nick-end labeling. The left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP) was recorded. Expression of Hsp90 protein and cleavage of Bid were detected by Western blot and polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS: After hypothermic preservation for 3 to 9 hours, the LVDP recovery rate significantly decreased and cardiomyocyte apoptosis index increased in a time-dependent manner. When compared with the 9-hour preservation group, Celsior solution supplemented with diazoxide significantly enhanced the LVDP recovery rate and decreased the apoptosis index. The cleavage of Bid increased after 9 hours of hypothermic preservation, which was inhibited by Celsior solution supplemented with diazoxide. Hypothermic preservation of rat hearts for 9 hours decreased the expression of Hsp90, whereas diazoxide supplementation significantly increased the expression of Hsp90. The Hsp90 inhibitor 17-allylamino-17-demethoxy-geldanamycin inhibited the diazoxide-induced decrease in cleavage of Bid, improvement of cardiac function, and decrease of apoptosis. Hsp90 inhibitor had no effect on the diazoxide-induced increase of total Cx43 protein expression in hearts preserved 9 hours, but inhibited the diazoxide-induced increase of mitochondrial Cx43 protein level. CONCLUSION: Hsp90 might mediate diazoxide-induced cardioprotection against apoptosis in hypothermic preservation heart by preventing the cleavage of Bid.
