Background:Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) induced by transient limb ischemia is a powerful innate mechanism of cardioprotection against ischemia. Several described mechanisms explain how RIPC may act through neural pathways or humoral factors; however, the mechanistic pathway linking the remote organ to the heart has not yet been fully elucidated. This study aimed to investigate the mechanisms underlying the RIPC-induced production of Janus kinase (JAK)-signal transducer and activator of the transcription (STAT)-activating cytokines and cardioprotection by using mouse and human models of RIPC.Methods and Results:Screened circulating cardioprotective JAK-STAT-activating cytokines in mice unexpectedly revealed increased serum erythropoietin (EPO) levels after RIP induced by transient ischemia. In mice, RIPC rapidly upregulated EPO mRNA and its main transcriptional factor, hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF1α), in the kidney. Laser Doppler blood flowmetry revealed a prompt reduction of renal blood flow (RBF) after RIPC. RIPC activated cardioprotective signaling pathways and the anti-apoptotic Bcl-xL pathway in the heart, and reduced infarct size. In mice, these effects were abolished by administration of an EPO-neutralizing antibody. Renal nerve denervation also abolished RIPC-induced RBF reduction, EPO production, and cardioprotection. In humans, transient limb ischemia of the upper arm reduced RBF and increased serum EPO levels.Conclusions:Based on the present data, we propose a novel RIPC mechanism in which inhibition of infarct size by RIPC is produced through the renal nerve-mediated reduction of RBF associated with activation of the HIF1α-EPO pathway.
