The use of K(ATP) channel modulators during EVLP experiments may protect against lung ischemia-reperfusion injury and may inhibit the formation of reactive oxygen species. In a rat model of donation after circulatory death with 2 h warm ischemic time, we evaluated rat lungs for a 4-hour time in EVLP containing either mitochondrial-specific or plasma membrane and\/or sarcolemmal-specific forms of K(ATP) channel modulators. Lung physiological data were recorded, and metabolic parameters were assessed. When compared to the control group, in the EVLP performed with diazoxide or 5-hydroxydecanoic acid (5-HD) we recorded significantly lower pulmonary vascular resistance and only in the diazoxide group recorded significant lung weight loss. In the perfusate of the 5-HD group, interleukin-1\u03b2 and interleukin-1\u03b1 were significantly lower when compared to the control group. Perfusate levels of calcium ions were significantly higher in both 5-HD and cromakalim groups, whereas the levels of calcium, potassium, chlorine and lactate were reduced in the diazoxide group, although not significantly when compared to the control. The use of a diazoxide mitochondrial-specific K(ATP) channel opener during EVLP improved lung physiological and metabolic parameters and reduced edema.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/cells10092296","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,6]],"date-time":"2021-09-06T13:09:25Z","timestamp":1630933765000},"page":"2296","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Ex Vivo Lung Perfusion with K(ATP) Channel Modulators Antagonize Ischemia Reperfusion Injury"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5497-8256","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Stephan","family":"Arni","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Thoracic Surgery, University Hospital Z\u00fcrich, 8091 Z\u00fcrich, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3632-4328","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tatsuo","family":"Maeyashiki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Thoracic Surgery, University Hospital Z\u00fcrich, 8091 Z\u00fcrich, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6165-9878","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tsogyal","family":"Latshang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pneumology, Kantonsspital Graub\u00fcnden, 7000 Chur, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5900-9040","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Isabelle","family":"Opitz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Thoracic Surgery, University Hospital Z\u00fcrich, 8091 Z\u00fcrich, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3937-7705","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ilhan","family":"Inci","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Thoracic Surgery, University Hospital Z\u00fcrich, 8091 Z\u00fcrich, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"4574","DOI":"10.21037\/jtd.2018.06.141","article-title":"Lung transplantation: Indications and contraindications","volume":"10","author":"Weill","year":"2018","journal-title":"J.
