摘要: 目的 探讨次乌头碱对心脏传导功能及hERG通道的影响,揭示其在心脏毒性中的潜在机制。方法 采用Lange-ndorff离体心脏灌流技术结合电标测技术,检测离体心脏传导功能的变化;采用全细胞膜片钳技术,检测次乌头碱对hERG通道电流的影响;利用蛋白质免疫印迹实验测定蛋白表达。结果 电标测实验表明,次乌头碱存在剂量依赖性心脏毒性。浓度超25 nmol·L-1时,显著扰乱心脏传导功能,出现传导方向改变、心率加快、传导时间延长及传导速度下降;浓度达100~150 nmol·L-1时,可诱发心室颤动。此外,25 nmol·L-1次乌头碱灌流15 min后,可致QTc间期延长。膜片钳实验结果显示,次乌头碱对hERG通道的半数抑制浓度(IC50)为34.34 μmol·L-1。蛋白质免疫印迹实验进一步发现,200 μmol·L-1次乌头碱能显著降低成熟hERG蛋白(相对分子质量155 000)的表达水平,同时抑制PKA的磷酸化水平。结论 次乌头碱对hERG通道的作用并非其引发豚鼠心脏传导功能紊乱的核心因素。

Abstract: Objective To investigate the effects of hypaconitine on cardiac conduction function and hERG channels, and to elucidate the potential mechanisms underlying cardiotoxicity. Methods Langendorff isolated heart perfusion combined with electrical mapping technology was used to assess changes in cardiac conduction function. Whole-cell patch-clamp techniques were employed to evaluate the effects of hypaconitine on hERG channel currents in hERG-HEK293 cells. Western blot analysis was performed to examine the expression levels of the proteins. Results Electrical mapping experiments revealed that hypaconitine exhibited significant dose-dependent cardiotoxicity. Concentrations above 25 nmol·L-1 disrupted cardiac conduction function, characterized by altered conduction direction, increased heart rate, prolonged conduction time, and reduced conduction velocity. At concentrations of 100 to 150 nmol·L-1,ventricular fibrillation could be induced. Moreover, a 15-min perfusion with 25 nmol·L-1 hypaconitine prolonged the QTc interval. Patch-clamp experiments showed that the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of hypaconitine on hERG channels was 34.34 μmol·L-1. Western blot analysis demonstrated that 200 μmol·L-1 hypaconitine significantly decreased the expressions of mature hERG protein (relative molecular mass: 155 000) and inhibited the phosphorylation of PKA. Conclusion The effect of hypaconitine on hERG channels is not the leading contributor to cardiac conduction dysfunction in guinea pigs.
