Abstract(in English) In this study, we have tried to elucidate the functional significance of nitric oxide (NO) during in vitro ischemia (simulated ischemia) in spontaneously beating cultured cardiac myocytes. Simulated ischemia resulted in the gradual increase of contraction intervals in cardiac myocytes with time. The myocytes finally stopped spontaneous contraction in 2 h from the onset of ischemia. Treatment of cultures either with an inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) or with an NO scavenger during ischemia markedly reduced the period from the onset of ischemia to the cessation of contraction compared with that observed in cultures without such treatment. The treatment also resulted in the significant increase in the death of myocytes after reperfusion for 20 h. This study suggested that NO produced during ischemia would play important roles in the regulation of contraction rhythm as well as in the protection from ischemia-induced death of cardiac myocytes.
