International audience. Acute myocardial infarction leads to an increase in oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation. 4(RS)-4-F4t-Neuroprostane (4-F4t-NeuroP) is a mediator produced by non-enzymatic free radical peroxidation of thecardioprotective polyunsaturated fatty acid, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). In this study, we investigated whetherintra-cardiac delivery of 4-F4t-NeuroP (0.03 mg/kg) prior to occlusion (ischemia) prevents and protects ratmyocardium from reperfusion damages.Using a rat model of ischemic-reperfusion (I/R), we showed that intra-cardiac infusion of 4-F4t-NeuroPsignificantly decreased infarct size following reperfusion (−27%) and also reduced ventricular arrhythmia scoreconsiderably during reperfusion (−41%). Most notably, 4-F4t-NeuroP decreased ventricular tachycardia andpost-reperfusion lengthening of QT interval. The evaluation of the mitochondrial homeostasis indicates alimitation of mitochondrial swelling in response to Ca2+by decreasing the mitochondrial permeability transitionpore opening and increasing mitochondria membrane potential. On the other hand, mitochondrial respirationmeasured by oxygraphy, and mitochondrial ROS production measured with MitoSox red®were unchanged. Wefound decreased cytochrome c release and caspase 3 activity, indicating that 4-F4t-NeuroP prevented reperfusiondamages and reduced apoptosis. In conclusion, 4-F4t-NeuroP derived from DHA was able to protect I/R cardiacinjuries by regulating the mitochondrial homeostasis
