Effect of α-Allocryptopine on Delayed Afterdepolarizations and Triggered Activities in Mice Cardiomyocytes Treated with Isoproterenol

الملخص EN

Objective.

To investigate the effect of α-allocryptopine (ALL) on delayed afterdepolarization (DAD) incidence and triggered activity (TA) in mice administered isoproterenol (ISO).

Methods.

Mouse ventricular myocytes were isolated.

And the cellular electrophysiological properties of ventricular myocytes were investigated.

Results.

We found that the incidences of DADs and TA in mouse myocytes were increased by ISO treatment.

In sharp contrast, triggered arrhythmia events were rarely observed in myocytes with 10 μM ALL treatment.

Transient inward current (Iti) was reduced significantly with ALL treatment, which contributed to DAD-related triggered arrhythmia.

Compared to Iso-treated group, the L-type calcium current (ICa,L) densities were decreased after exposure to ALL, along with slower activation, quicker inactivation, and longer time constant of recovery from inactivation kinetics.

Conclusion.

There is less triggered arrhythmia events in ventricular myocytes treated with ALL.

This effect may be associated with the inhibition of Iti and ICa,L.
