    Abstract:
    The acid phosphatase and cathepsin D activities and cAMP and cGMP levels in isolated perfused rat heart were investigated during various periods of ischaemic myocardial injury and postischaemic reperfusion. The effect of phosphodiesterase inhibitor--caffeine was also studied. Free acid hydrolases activities and cyclic nucleotide content were increased under 40 and 60 min ischemia and 20 min postischaemic reperfusion. Addition of 50 microM caffeine to perfusion solution after 30 min of ischaemia resulted in increase of cAMP level, cAMP/cGMP ratio, lysosomal bound activities of acid hydrolase and decrease of free acid hydrolase activities. The obtained results suggested that defect in cAMP synthesis might be present in lysosomal membranes labilization in cardiomyocytes injured during ischaemic conditions. Addition of such agents, as caffeine, which increased heart cAMP level, may be effective in lysosomal membranes stabilization under reversible heart ischaemia and reperfusion.
