Ca2+-dependent reduction of IK1 in rat ventricular cells: a novel paradigm for arrhythmia in heart failure?

چکیده
OBJECTIVES We investigated the inward rectifier potassium current (I(K1)), which can be blocked by intracellular Ca(2+), in heart failure (HF). METHODS We used the whole-cell patch-clamp technique to record I(K1) from single rat ventricular myocytes in voltage-clamp conditions. Fluorescence measurements of diastolic Ca(2+) were performed with Indo-1 AM. HF was examined 8 weeks after myocardial infarction (coronary artery ligation). RESULTS I(K1) was reduced and diastolic Ca(2+) was increased in HF cells. The reduction of I(K1) was attenuated when EGTA was elevated from 0.5 to 10 mM in the patch pipette and prevented with high BAPTA (20 mM). Ryanodine (100 nM) and FK506 (10 microM), both of which promote spontaneous SR Ca(2+) release from ryanodine receptor (RyR2) during diastole, reproduced the effect of HF on I(K1) in normal cells but had no effect in HF cells. The effects of ryanodine and FK506 were not additive and were prevented by BAPTA. Rapamycin (10 microM), which removes FKBP binding proteins from RyR2 with no effect on calcineurin, mimicked the effect of FK506 on I(K1). Cyclosporine A (10 microM), which inhibits calcineurin via cyclophilins, had no effect. In both HF cells and normal cells treated by FK506, the protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor staurosporine totally restored the inward component of I(K1), but only partially restored its outward component at potentials corresponding to the late repolarizing phase of the action potential (-80 to -40 mV). CONCLUSIONS I(K1) is reduced by elevated diastolic Ca(2+)in HF, which involves in parallel PKC-dependent and PKC-independent mechanisms. This regulation provides a novel paradigm for Ca(2+)-dependent modulation of membrane potential in HF. Since enhanced RyR2-mediated Ca(2+)release also reduces I(K1), this paradigm might be relevant for arrhythmias related to acquired or inherited RyR2 dysfunction.

Effect of gallic acid on electrophysiological properties and ventricular arrhythmia following chemical-induced arrhythmia in rat
Objective(s): Ventricular arrhythmias including ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF) are the most important causes of mortality rate. Gallic acid (GA) has beneficial effects on cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of GA on electrophysiological parameters such as QRS complex, heart rate (HR), PR interval pa...

In this study, it was surveyed to know whether an oral single dose of oleuropein could mimic the cardiac preconditioning in rats’ hearts or whether its prolonged oral administration could protect the heart against the aconitine-induced arrhythmia in rats. Eighty male Wistar rats were divided into two series (n = 8 in each group). In the first series, all groups (except the control (Con) group) ...

متن کاملArrhythmogenesis and Contractile Dysfunction in Heart Failure Roles of Sodium-Calcium Exchange, Inward Rectifier Potassium Current, and Residual b-Adrenergic Responsiveness
Ventricular arrhythmias and contractile dysfunction are the main causes of death in human heart failure (HF). In a rabbit HF model reproducing these same aspects of human HF, we demonstrate that a 2-fold functional upregulation of Na-Ca exchange (NaCaX) unloads sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca stores, reducing Ca transients and contractile function. Whereas b-adrenergic receptors (b-ARs) are prog...
