Tyrphostin AG-556 reduces myocardial infarct size and improves cardiac performance in the rat.

Abstract:

:TNF-alpha is a proinflammatory cytokine, abundantly expressed after myocardial infarction. It has been suggested that it exhibits myocardial suppressive and cytotoxic effects. AG-556 is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor synthesized based on its ability to reduce TNF-alpha production and cell toxicity, and to improve experimental models mediated by TNF-alpha (i.e., peritontitis and experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis). Daily, for 7 days, rats were injected ip with either AG-556 dissolved in DMSO or with the control vehicle. Infarct size was determined in the hearts as well as in fibrous scar formation. Cardiac TNF-alpha expression was evaluated by ELISA and immunohistochemistry. Functional hemodynamic parameters were evaluated employing echocardiography prior to sacrifice. AG-556 treatment reduced MI size at 7 days with a parallel effect on fibrous tissue formation. TNF-alpha production by splenocytes was reduced upon AG-556 treatment, whereas no differences were evident between the groups with regard to myocardial cytokine expression. AG-556 attenuated the decrease in fractional shortening at the expense of preserving end systolic diameter. AG-556 has proven beneficial in reducing myocardial infarct size and attenuated consequent hemodynamic deterioration in the rat model. If reconfirmed, AG-556 may be of potential clinical use in post-MI patients.
