Glucose Counteracts Isoprenaline Effects on Ion Channel Functions in Human-Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Cardiomyocytes.

ABSTRACT: Recent studies indicate that the disorder of glucose metabolism in myocardial tissue is involved in the development of Takotsubo syndrome (TTS). This study investigated the effects of a high level of glucose on the pathogenesis of TTS, focusing on the electrophysiological mechanisms. Human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) were treated with toxic concentration of isoprenaline (Iso, 1 mM) and a high level of glucose (22 mM) to mimic the setting of TTS and diabetes mellitus (DM). Iso prolonged action potential duration (APD) through enhancing the late sodium channel current and suppressing the transient outward potassium current (Ito). However, a high level of glucose prevented the APD prolongation and the change in Ito. High-level glucose reduced the expression levels of PI3K/Akt, β1-adrenoceptors, Gs-protein, and PKA, suggesting their involvement in the protective effects of high-level glucose against toxic effects of catecholamine. High glucose level did not influence Iso-induced ROS-generation, suggesting that the protective effects of high-level glucose against Iso did not result from changes in ROS generation. High-level glucose may protect cardiomyocytes from the toxic effects of catecholamine excess through suppressing β1-adrenoceptor-Gs-PKA signaling. DM may reduce the risk for occurrence of arrhythmias due to QT prolongation in TTS patients.

Project description:BackgroundPatients with cardiomyopathy of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) are at risk of developing life-threatening arrhythmias, but the mechanisms are unknown. We aimed to determine the role of ion channels controlling cardiac excitability in the mechanisms of arrhythmias in DMD patients.MethodsTo test whether dystrophin mutations lead to defective cardiac NaV1.5-Kir2.1 channelosomes and arrhythmias, we generated iPSC-CMs from two hemizygous DMD males, a heterozygous female, and two unrelated control males. We conducted studies including confocal microscopy, protein expression analysis, patch-clamping, non-viral piggy-bac gene expression, optical mapping and contractility assays.ResultsTwo patients had abnormal ECGs with frequent runs of ventricular tachycardia. iPSC-CMs from all DMD patients showed abnormal action potential profiles, slowed conduction velocities, and reduced sodium (INa) and inward rectifier potassium (IK1) currents. Membrane NaV1.5 and Kir2.1 protein levels were reduced in hemizygous DMD iPSC-CMs but not in heterozygous iPSC-CMs. Remarkably, transfecting just one component of the dystrophin protein complex (α1-syntrophin) in hemizygous iPSC-CMs from one patient restored channelosome function, INa and IK1 densities, and action potential profile in single cells. In addition, α1-syntrophin expression restored impulse conduction and contractility and prevented reentrant arrhythmias in hiPSC-CM monolayers.ConclusionsWe provide the first demonstration that iPSC-CMs reprogrammed from skin fibroblasts of DMD patients with cardiomyopathy have a dysfunction of the NaV1.5-Kir2.1 channelosome, with consequent reduction of cardiac excitability and conduction. Altogether, iPSC-CMs from patients with DMD cardiomyopathy have a NaV1.5-Kir2.1 channelosome dysfunction, which can be rescued by the scaffolding protein α1-syntrophin to restore excitability and prevent arrhythmias.FundingSupported by National Institutes of Health R01 HL122352 grant; 'la Caixa' Banking Foundation (HR18-00304); Fundación La Marató TV3: Ayudas a la investigación en enfermedades raras 2020 (LA MARATO-2020); Instituto de Salud Carlos III/FEDER/FSE; Horizon 2020 - Research and Innovation Framework Programme GA-965286 to JJ; the CNIC is supported by the Instituto de Salud Carlos III (ISCIII), the Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación (MCIN) and the Pro CNIC Foundation), and is a Severo Ochoa Center of Excellence (grant CEX2020-001041-S funded by MICIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033).
