【Abstract】ObjectiveIt has been indicated by other study groups that the adenosine and ATP-sensitive potassium channel current (KATP) play roles to protect the cardiac muscle by inhibiting membrane excitability and shorting action potential duration (APD) of the cardiac muscle, which suggests a possible therapeutic function of adenosine in the various models of ischemic preconditioning. However, there is little report on the treatment mechanism of adenosine and KATP current in idiopathic ventricular tachycardiac (IVT). The present study investigated the antagonize effect of the adenosine to isoproterenol (ISO) on the action potentials and KATP channel in isolated guinea pig papillary muscles and ventricular myocytes. This study aimed to explore the mechanism of KATP and adenosine treatments in IVT and to prove the hypothesis that adenosine could mediate cardioprotection. MethodsThe whole-cell patch clamp recording technique was used to detect the KATP current alterations during the stimulated triggered activity. The cell dissociation was carried on. Adult guinea pigs weighing 320-350g were killed by cervical dislocation. Hearts were immediately removed and mounted on a modified Langendorff perfusion system for retrograde perfusion of the aortic circulation. Myocytes were isolated from guinea pig ventricular by enzyme digestion. The experiment was divided into four groups, (1) baseline (BL); (2) ISO; (3) ISO plus adenosine (ADO); (4) ISO, ADO, 8-cyclopentyl-1 and 3-dipropylxathine (DPCPX). The effects could be blocked by glibenclamide (GLB). The action potentials of guinea pig papillary muscles were measured by using standard microelectrode. The parameters in the experiment included the amplitude of action potentials (APA), action potentials duration (APD), resting potentials (RP), as well as the maximum rise rate of the action potential (Vmax). ResultsWhen guinea pig ventricular myocytes were pretreated with ISO (10nml/L) for 30 minutes, APD prolonged significantly (P<0.01), especially APD20, APD50 and APD90. There were no changes of APA , RP and Vmax. EAD, DAD and triggered activity (TA) were elicited. Pacing 200-300 ms stimulated ventricular myocytes of guinea pigs. DAD and TA were induced by ISO. Pacing 500 ms stimulated in the guinea pigs ventricular myocytes and papillary muscles, EAD was induced by ISO. The perfusion with ADO of 10, 50, 100 and 200 μmol/L in ventricular myocytes could shorten APD in a concentration-dependent manner and completely abolish EAD and TA in all experiment. Treating ventricular myocytes with ISO (1 μmol/L) increased KATP. The outward KATP current was increased from 525±90 pA to 2 440±408 pA (n=10, P<0.001). ICa- was increased by ISO. ISO group was significantly increased compared with BL group. GLB (10 μmol/L) pretreated the ventricular myocytes to antagonize the suppressive effect of KATP, and EAD, DAD as well as TA increased. The effects of ISO were completely antagonized by adenosine. ADO antagonized the KATP currents in a concentration-related fashion. KATP current decreased and APD recovered to normal level. The effects of adenosine were prevented by DPCPX (0.6 μmol/L) which suggested that adenosine was mediated by A1 receptor. Adenosine had no significant effect on ventricular myocytes. ConclusionISO might induce the opening of KATP channel, which results in shortening of APD,indirect inhibiting ICa-L in ventricular myocytes. The effect of ISO could be effectively antagonized by adenosine, which associated with the inhibition of ICa-L and KATP current. Adenosine was mediated by A1 receptor. The ATP-sensitive potassium channel activation may suppress rhythm abnormalities related to DAD and EAD, and might provide a novel and useful intervention method in the clinical occurrence of the acquired long QT syndrome and IVT.
