目的研究三氧化二砷(arsenic trioxide,As2O3)对豚鼠心室肌细胞钾电流的影响,旨在探讨As2O3诱导QT间期延长的离子靶点。方法酶解法分离豚鼠单个心室肌细胞,采用全细胞膜片钳技术深入研究As2O3对豚鼠单个心室肌细胞动作电位时程(APD)、延迟整流钾电流(IK)和内向整流钾电流(IK)的影响。结果As2O3 50和100umol·L^-1分别使APD50从对照组的(273±78)ms增加到(456±35)ms(P〈0.01)和(513±41)ms(P〈0.01),使APD90从对照组的(286±82)ms增加到(468±36)ms(P〈0.01)和(524±40)ms(P〈0.01);实验电压为+70mV时,50和100umol·L^-1As2O3分别使IK从对照组的(6.7±1.7)pA/pF减少至(4.9±1.6)pA/pF(P〈0.05)和(4.5±1.8)pA/pF(P〈0.05);在实验电压为-120mV时,As20350和100umol·L^-1分别使IKI从对照组的(-20±5)pA/pF减少至(-13±3)pA/pF(P〈0.05)和(-11±2)pA/pF(P〈0.05)。结论As2O3诱导QT间期延长的离子机制可能与其扰乱了心肌细胞膜离子通道间的平衡,抑制IK和IKI,从而导致APD延长有关。
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of arsenic trioxide (As2 O3 ) on potassium current in guinea pig ventricular myocytes and to further explore the ionic targets of As2 O3-induced QT prolongation. METHODS Enzyme digestion was used to isolate single cardiomyocyte of guinea pig. Whole cell patch-clamp technique was utilized to record action potential duration (APD), delayed rectifier potassium current ( IK ) and inward rectifier potassium current ( IKI ). RESULTS Compared with control groups, APD50 was prolonged from (273 ±78) ms to (456 ±35) ms ( P 〈0. 01) and (513 ±41) ms ( P 〈0.01) for 50 and 100 umol · L^-1 As2 O3, respectively. APD50 at the same doses of As2 03 groups was also prolonged from (286 ± 82) ms to (468 ± 36) ms (P 〈 0. 01 ) and (524 ± 40) ms (P 〈 0. 01 ). At the testing potential of + 70 mV, As2 O3 50 and 100 umol· L^- 1 decreased IK from (6. 7 ± 1.7 ) pA/pF to (4. 9 ±1.6) pA/pF (P 〈0. 05) and (4. 5 ± 1.8) pA/pF (P 〈0. 05), respectively. At the testing potential of - 120 mV, As2O3 50 and 100 umol·L^-1 reduced IKI from (-20±5) pA/pF to ( -13 ±3) pA/pF (P〈0.05) and ( -11 ±2) pA/pF (P〈 0. 05), respectively. CONCLUSION The ionic mechanism of As2 O3-induced QT prolongation may be relative to disturbing the normal equilibrium of transmembrane currents ( inhibiting IK and IKI ) and causing prolongation of APD.
