Problems solved by technology

Cardiovascular disorders and diseases and their associated complications are a principal cause of disabilities and deaths of individuals in the United States and Western Europe.
When the coronary artery cross-section area is reduced by ˜75%, a full range of increases in flow to meet increased myocardial demand is not possible.
When the luminal area is reduced by more than 80%, blood flow at rest may be reduced, and further minor decreases in the stenotic orifice can reduce coronary flow dramatically and cause myocardial ischemia and infarction.
This situation impairs myocardial contractility during exercise, creating the chest angina.
Critical stenosis of the coronaries can cause chest angina even at rest, implying that the myocardium is suffering from lack of perfusion.
Consequently, blood flow is seriously disturbed until there is no sufficient blood flow to the myocardium and an infarction begins due to lack of perfusion of oxygen.

Rasagiline, S(−)—N-propargyl-1-aminoindan and Propargylamine Protect H9c2 Heart Cells Against Apoptosis Induced by Fas Activation

[0072]The first apoptosis-inducing protocol tested was activation of the Fas receptor with recombinant Fas Ligand (rFasL) plus the enhancing antibody (Yaniv et al., 2002).

[0073]Cultures of embryonic rat heart cell line H9c2 were incubated with rFasL (10 ng / ml) and an enhancing antibody for periods of time of 9, 10 and 24 hours, and apoptosis measured thereafter. As shown in FIG. 1B, Fas activation caused prominent apoptosis in H9c2 cells, as detected by the DAPI assay.

[0074]In order to determine whether rasagiline can prevent Fas-mediated apoptosis, the Fas receptor was activated for 9, 10 and 24 hours as described above. Rasagiline (10 μM) was introduced to the culture medium 16 hours before, and was present throughout the apoptosis-inducing protocol (n=3 wells). As seen in FIG. 2A, the maximal apoptotic effect (˜20% apoptosis) of Fas activation was attai...

Rasagiline, S(−)—N-propargyl-1-aminoindan and Propargylamine Protect H9c2 Heart Cells Against Apoptosis Induced by Serum Starvation

[0076]The next apoptosis-inducing stimulus tested was serum starvation (24 hrs, 0% serum in the culture medium). To induce apoptosis, H9c2 cells were incubated in the culture medium containing 0% FCS for 6, 7, 8 or 9 hours. Rasagiline (10 μM) was introduced to the culture medium 2 hours before inducing serum starvation and was present throughout the apoptosis-inducing protocol (n=3 wells). As seen in FIG. 3A, the most effective protocol was 9 hrs serum starvation, which caused 12% apoptosis. This effect was completely prevented by rasagiline.

[0077]In the next stage, H9c2 cells were incubated in the culture medium containing 0% FCS for 24 hours, and the anti-apoptotic effect obtained by various concentrations of rasagiline, S(−)—N-propargyl-1-aminoindan and propargylamine was measured. FIG. 3B shows the anti-apoptotic effect obtained by rasagiline (0.1-10...

Rasagiline Protects H9c2 Heart Cells Against Apoptosis Induced by Serum Starvation but not H2O2-Induced Apoptosis

[0078]In another experiment, we repeated the serum starvation protocol, and also tested in the same cultures whether rasagiline can protect against H2O2-induced apoptosis. Rasagiline was introduced to the culture medium 2 hours before inducing serum starvation or adding H2O2, and was present throughout the apoptosis-inducing protocol (n=4 experiments; ˜2000 cells counted). As clearly shown in FIG. 4, rasagiline prevented the apoptosis induced by serum starvation (green bar), but not by H2O2 (gray bar).
