Effects of cytochrome P-450 metabolites of arachidonic acid, epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETS; 5,6-EET, 8,9-EET, 11,12-EET, and 14,15-EET), were examined in isolated guinea pig hearts and ventricular myocytes. Addition of 1-16 ng/ml EETs to normal isolated hearts produced no effects on contractility or coronary pressure. In hearts subjected to 60 min of low-flow ischemia, impairment of contractility and declines in heart rate and coronary perfusion pressure were similar in the presence or absence of 1 ng/ml EETs. However, in the presence of either 5,6- or 11,12-EET, recovery was delayed for the first 10 min only. No significant differences were found in any group regarding heart rate, coronary perfusion pressure, or energy metabolite content after 30 min of reperfusion. In myocytes, both 5,6- and 11,12-EET (100 pg/ml, 1.0 ng/ml, and 20 ng/ml) significantly increased cell shortening as well as intracellular calcium concentrations, whereas 8,9- or 14,15-EET was without effect on these parameters. These results describe for the first time the direct effects of various EETs on cardiac cell function as well as their ability to modulate some of the myocardial responses to postischemic reperfusion. The results suggest a potential role for these substances in the response of the heart to pathological insult.
