    Abstract There is currently increased interest in the use of the antimalarial drugs chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine for the treatment of other diseases, including cancer and viral infections such as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, the risk of cardiotoxic effects tends to limit their use. In this review, the effects of these drugs on the electrical and mechanical activities of the heart as well as on remodelling of cardiac tissue are presented and the underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms are discussed. The drugs can have proarrhythmic as well as antiarrhythmic actions resulting from their inhibition of ion channels, including voltage-dependent Na

    Abstract Cardiac fibroblasts make up a major proportion of non-excitable cells in the heart and contribute to the cardiac structural integrity and maintenance of the extracellular matrix. During myocardial injury, fibroblasts can be activated to trans-differentiate into myofibroblasts, which secrete extracellular matrix components as part of healing, but may also induce cardiac fibrosis and pathological cardiac structural and electrical remodeling. The mechanisms regulating such cellular processes still require clarification, but the identification of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels in cardiac fibroblasts could provide further insights into the fibroblast-related pathophysiology. TRP proteins belong to a diverse superfamily, with subgroups such as the canonical (TRPC), vanilloid (TRPV), melastatin (TRPM), ankyrin (TRPA), polycystin (TRPP), and mucolipin (TRPML). Several TRP proteins form non-selective channels that are permeable to cations like Na

    Abstract We studied the effect of experimental hypercholesterolaemia/atherosclerosis on changes in coronary flow and cardiac function, induced by protein kinase C and ATP-sensitive K(+) (K(ATP)) channel modulators in isolated Langendorff-perfused rabbit hearts. Both phorbol 12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) and phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDB, 0.1 microM each), activators of protein kinase C, decreased, whereas staurosporine, (0.1 microM), a protein kinase C inhibitor, increased coronary flow and left ventricular dP/dt, an index of ventricular contractility. Glyburide (5-50 microM), a K(ATP) channel inhibitor, blocked the effect of staurosporine. The phorbol esters were without effect in the presence of pinacidil (5 microM), a K(ATP) channel activator. Neither the protein kinase C modulators nor glyburide produced any effect on coronary flow and left ventricular contractility, when the hearts were prepared from animals either maintained on a cholesterol (1.5%)-enriched diet or treated with lovastatin (5 mg/kg/day per os). Treatment with farnesol (1 mg/kg twice a day for 7 days intravenously) restored the reactivity of hearts from either hypercholesterolaemic or lovastatin-treated animals to protein kinase C modulators. We conclude that non-cholesterol mevalonate products are necessary for the functional integrity of the protein kinase C-K(ATP) channel pathway in the rabbit heart.

    Abstract The time course of muscarinic effects on K and Ca currents was investigated at 22-24 degrees C in guinea-pig atrial myocytes, using the whole-cell voltage clamp. At a holding potential of -40 or -50 mV, short exposures to 100 microM acetylcholine (ACh) or carbachol (CCh) reproducibly induced outward K currents (IK,ACh). During long exposures to these agonists, IK,ACh faded with time. In cells not dialysed with guanosine triphosphate (GTP), IK,ACh could dissipate completely following 15-20 min of agonist exposure. After agonist washout, lost sensitivity was not recovered. In cells dialysed with GTP (0.2-1 mM), IK,ACh still faded but normal sensitivity to agonists was restored with washout. Fade of IK,ACh was not prevented by intracellular heparin or dextran, excluding the involvement of either beta-adrenergic or muscarinic receptor kinase. IK,ACh induced by bethanechol or adenosine also faded, and subsequent CCh application after washout revealed a diminished response. Intracellular guanosine-5'-o-(3-thiotriphosphate (GTP gamma S) induced IK,ACh which faded, and subsequent exposure to CCh was without effect. Equally, after full desensitization with CCh, GTP gamma S failed to induce IK,ACh. The Ca current (ICa) was activated by voltage steps to 0 mV and increased with 1-3 microM isoproterenol. This increase could be reversed by CCh, even when IK,ACh had completely faded. Prolonged muscarinic agonist exposure sometimes also caused fade of the effect on ICa, which always occurred after loss of IK,ACh. The results show that desensitization is heterologous and may involve the guanine nucleotide-binding (G) protein. The differential desensitization to the effects on IK,ACh and ICa suggests the involvement of two different signalling pathways in the muscarinic control of K and Ca channels.

    Abstract Magnesium-sensitive transient receptor potential melastatin (TRPM) ion channels, TRPM6 and TRPM7, are present in several organs, but their roles in the heart remain unclear. Therefore, here, we studied the expression patterns of TRPM6 and TRPM7 in normal and diseased myocardium. Cardiac atrial tissue and cardiomyocytes were obtained from healthy pigs and undiseased human hearts as well as from hearts of patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) or atrial fibrillation (AF). Immunofluorescence and ELISA were used to detect TRP proteins. TRPM6 and TRPM7 immunofluorescence signals, localized at/near the cell surface or intracellularly, were detected in pig and human atrial tissues. The TRP channel modulators carvacrol (CAR, 100 µM) or 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2-APB, 500 µM) decreased the TRPM7 signal, but enhanced that of TRPM6. At a higher concentration (2 mM), 2-APB enhanced the signals of both proteins. TRPM6 and TRPM7 immunofluorescence signals and protein concentrations were increased in atrial cells and tissues from IHD or AF patients. TRPM6 and TRPM7 proteins were both detected in cardiac atrial tissue, with relatively similar subcellular localization, but distinctive drug sensitivity profiles. Their upregulated expression in IHD and AF suggests a possible role of the channels in cardiac atrial disease.
