IKs Protects from Ventricular Arrhythmia during Cardiac Ischemia and Reperfusion in Rabbits by Preserving the Repolarization Reserve
INTRODUCTION The function of the repolarization reserve in the prevention of ventricular arrhythmias during cardiac ischemia/reperfusion and the impact of ischemia on slowly activated delayed rectifier potassium current (I(Ks)) channel subunit expression are not well understood. METHODS AND RESULTS The responses of monophasic action potential duration (MAPD) prolongation and triangulation wer...
متن کاملErythropoietin protects the heart from ventricular arrhythmia during ischemia and reperfusion via neuronal nitric-oxide synthase.
Erythropoietin (EPO) is a potent cardioprotective agent in models of myocardial ischemia and reperfusion (I/R). It has been suggested recently that EPO may also reduce ventricular arrhythmia after I/R. The present study investigated the role of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) on the antiarrhythmic effects of EPO. EPO treatment increased nNOS expression in isolated neonatal mouse ventricul...
متن کاملSubunit interaction determines IKs participation in cardiac repolarization and repolarization reserve.
BACKGROUND The role of IKs, the slow delayed rectifier K+ current, in cardiac ventricular repolarization has been a subject of debate. METHODS AND RESULTS We develop a detailed Markov model of IKs and its alpha-subunit KCNQ1 and examine their kinetic properties during the cardiac ventricular action potential at different rates. We observe that interaction between KCNQ1 and KCNE1 (the beta-sub...
متن کاملGlycyrrhetinic Acid protects the heart from ischemia/reperfusion injury by attenuating the susceptibility and incidence of fatal ventricular arrhythmia during the reperfusion period in the rat hearts.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Licorice has been used to treat many diseases, including palpitations, in both Eastern and Western societies for thousands of years. It has been reported that glycyrrhetinic acid (GA), an aglycone saponin extracted from licorice root, exerts protective effects on the cardiovascular system, limits infarct sizes and protects against the development of arrhythmia. However, the mech...
متن کاملColchicine protects rat skeletal muscle from ischemia/reperfusion injury by suppressing oxidative stress and inflammation
Objective(s): Neutrophils play an important role in ischemia/reperfusion (IR) induced skeletal muscle injury. Microtubules are required for neutrophil activation in response to various stimuli. This study aimed to investigate the effects of colchicine, a microtubule-disrupting agent, on skeletal muscle IR injury in a rat hindlimb ischemia model. Materials and Methods: Twenty-one Sprague-Dawley ...
