目的:研究胡椒碱对H2O2引起的兔单个心房肌细胞内向整流钾电流(IK1)及超速激活的延迟整流钾电流(IKUr)异常的影响.方法:采用全细胞膜片钳技术分析50 μmol/L H2O2对兔单个心房肌细胞IK1和IKUr的影响,并研究预先应用7 μmol/L胡椒碱对其的保护作用.结果:7 μmol/L胡椒碱对正常兔心房肌细胞IK1和IKUr及其通道动力学无显著影响.在50 μmol/L H2O2作用下,兔心房肌细胞IK1峰值由(-148.2±16.7)pA/pF降低至(-64.2±9.8)pA/pF (P〈0.05),电流-电压曲线上移;而IKUr峰值由(16.0±2.1)pA/pF降低至(6.1±1.4)pA/pF (P〈0.05),电流-电压曲线下移,通道稳态激活曲线右移,通道稳态失活曲线左移及恢复时间减慢,而且存在频率依赖性特征.预先给予7 μmol/L胡椒碱,明显减轻H2O2对IK1和IKUr的抑制作用(P〈0.01),并可减少H2O2对超速激活延迟整流钾通道动力学的异常影响.结论:胡椒碱可减轻氧化应激对心房肌细胞IK1和IKUr的影响.
AIM: To study the protective effect of piperine on abnormalityies of inward rectifier potassium cur- rent ( IKl ) and ultra rapid delayed rectifier potassium current ( IKur) induced by hydrogen peroxide ( H2O2 ) in single rabbit atrial myocytes. METHODS: The technique of whole - cell patch - clamp was used to study the effect of H202 at concen- tration of 50 μmol/L on IK1 and IKur in single rabbit atrial myocytes. The protective effect of pretreatment with piperine (7 μmol/L) was also observed. RESULTS: The piperine at concentration of 7 μmol/L had no significant effect on Ik1 and IKUr and their channel dynamics. In the presence of H2 02 at concentration of 50 μmol/L, the peak currents of IKI and IKur reduced significantly ( P 〈 0. 05 ). The steady - state activation curve of/gut Was shifted right, the steady - state inactivation curve of Igur was shifted left, and the recovery from inactivation of IKur was shifted downward. The IKUr showed frequency - dependent characteristics. Piperine at concentration of 7 μmol/L significantly alleviated the inhibitory effect of H2O2 on Ik1 and Igor(P〈0.01 ). In addition, piperine protected against the changes of IKUr dynanlics induced by H2O2. CONCLUSION: Piperine alleviates the abnormalities of IK1 and IKur induced by oxidative stress in atrial myoeytes.
