While survival rates have markedly improved following cardiac ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury, the resulting heart damage remains an important issue. Preserving mitochondrial quality and limiting NLRP3 inflammasome activation is an approach to limit IR injury, in which the mitochondrial deacetylase sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) has a role. Recent data demonstrate cytochrome P450 (CYP450)-derived epoxy metabolites, epoxydocosapentaenoic acids (EDPs), of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), attenuate cardiac IR injury. EDPs undergo rapid removal and inactivation by enzymatic and non-enzymatic processes. The current study hypothesizes that the cardioprotective effects of the synthetic EDP surrogates AS-27, SA-26 and AA-4 against IR injury involve activation of SIRT3. Isolated hearts from wild type (WT) mice were perfused in the Langendorff mode with vehicle, AS-27, SA-26 or AA-4. Improved postischemic functional recovery, maintained cardiac ATP levels, reduced oxidative stress and attenuation of NLRP3 activation were observed in hearts perfused with the analogue SA-26. Assessment of cardiac mitochondria demonstrated SA-26 preserved SIRT3 activity and reduced acetylation of manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) suggesting enhanced antioxidant capacity. Together, these data demonstrate that the cardioprotective effects of the EDP analogue SA-26 against IR injury involve preservation of mitochondrial SIRT3 activity, which attenuates a detrimental innate NLRP3 inflammasome response.
