Abstract
BACKGROUND We recently demonstrated that acute administration of ibrutinib, a Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor used in chemotherapy for blood malignancies, increases ventricular arrhythmia (VA) vulnerability. A pathway of ibrutinib-induced vulnerability to VA that can be modulated for cardioprotection remains unclear. METHODS AND RESULTS The effects of ibrutinib on cardiac electrical activity and Ca2+ dynamics were investigated in Langendorff-perfused hearts using optical mapping. We also conducted Western blotting analysis to evaluate the impact of ibrutinib on various regulatory and Ca2+-handling proteins in rat cardiac tissues. Treatment with ibrutinib (10 mg/kg per day) for 4 weeks was associated with an increased VA inducibility (72.2%±6.3% versus 38.9±7.0% in controls, P<0.002) and shorter action potential durations during pacing at various frequencies (P<0.05). Ibrutinib also decreased heart rate thresholds for beat-to-beat duration alternans of the cardiac action potential (P<0.05). Significant changes in myocardial Ca2+ transients included lower amplitude alternans ratios (P<0.05), longer times-to-peak (P<0.05), and greater spontaneous intracellular Ca2+ elevations (P<0.01). We also found lower abundance and phosphorylation of myocardial AMPK (5'-adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase), indicating reduced AMPK activity in hearts after ibrutinib treatment. An acute treatment with the AMPK activator 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-β-D-ribofuranoside ameliorated abnormalities in action potential and Ca2+ dynamics, and significantly reduced VA inducibility (37.1%±13.4% versus 72.2%±6.3% in the absence of 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-β-D-ribofuranoside, P<0.05) in hearts from ibrutinib-treated rats. CONCLUSIONS VA vulnerability inflicted by ibrutinib may be mediated in part by an impairment of myocardial AMPK activity. Pharmacological activation of AMPK may be a protective strategy against ibrutinib-induced cardiotoxicity.

Arrhythmogenic Ventricular Remodeling by Next-Generation Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor Acalabrutinib. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:6207.

Abstract
Cardiac arrhythmias remain a significant concern with Ibrutinib (IBR), a first-generation Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor (BTKi). Acalabrutinib (ABR), a next-generation BTKi, is associated with reduced atrial arrhythmia events. However, the role of ABR in ventricular arrhythmia (VA) has not been adequately evaluated. Our study aimed to investigate VA vulnerability and ventricular electrophysiology following chronic ABR therapy in male Sprague-Dawley rats utilizing epicardial optical mapping for ventricular voltage and Ca2+ dynamics and VA induction by electrical stimulation in ex-vivo perfused hearts. Ventricular tissues were snap-frozen for protein analysis for sarcoplasmic Ca2+ and metabolic regulatory proteins. The results show that both ABR and IBR treatments increased VA vulnerability, with ABR showing higher VA regularity index (RI). IBR, but not ABR, is associated with the abbreviation of action potential duration (APD) and APD alternans. Both IBR and ABR increased diastolic Ca2+ leak and Ca2+ alternans, reduced conduction velocity (CV), and increased CV dispersion. Decreased SERCA2a expression and AMPK phosphorylation were observed with both treatments. Our results suggest that ABR treatment also increases the risk of VA by inducing proarrhythmic changes in Ca2+ signaling and membrane electrophysiology, as seen with IBR. However, the different impacts of these two BTKi on ventricular electrophysiology may contribute to differences in VA vulnerability and distinct VA characteristics.

Selective Inhibition of Cardiac Late Na + Current Is Based on Fast Offset Kinetics of the Inhibitor. Biomedicines 2023; 11:2383. [PMID: 37760824 PMCID: PMC10525890 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines11092383] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2023] [Revised: 08/11/2023] [Accepted: 08/22/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
The present study was designed to test the hypothesis that the selectivity of blocking the late Na+ current (INaL) over the peak Na+ current (INaP) is related to the fast offset kinetics of the Na+ channel inhibitor. Therefore, the effects of 1 µM GS967 (INaL inhibitor), 20 µM mexiletine (I/B antiarrhythmic) and 10 µM quinidine (I/A antiarrhythmic) on INaL and INaP were compared in canine ventricular myocardium. INaP was estimated as the maximum velocity of action potential upstroke (V+max). Equal amounts of INaL were dissected by the applied drug concentrations under APVC conditions. The inhibition of INaL by mexiletine and quinidine was comparable under a conventional voltage clamp, while both were smaller than the inhibitory effect of GS967. Under steady-state conditions, the V+max block at the physiological cycle length of 700 ms was 2.3% for GS967, 11.4% for mexiletine and 26.2% for quinidine. The respective offset time constants were 110 ± 6 ms, 456 ± 284 ms and 7.2 ± 0.9 s. These results reveal an inverse relationship between the offset time constant and the selectivity of INaL over INaP inhibition without any influence of the onset rate constant. It is concluded that the selective inhibition of INaL over INaP is related to the fast offset kinetics of the Na+ channel inhibitor.

Abstract
Background Doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy (DICM) is one of the complications that can limit treatment for a significant number of cancer patients. In animal models, the administration of statins can prevent the development of DICM. Therefore, the use of statins with anthracyclines potentially could enable cancer patients to complete their chemotherapy without added cardiotoxicity. The precise mechanism mediating the cardioprotection is not well understood. The purpose of this study is to determine the molecular mechanism by which rosuvastatin confers cardioprotection in a mouse model of DICM. Methods Rosuvastatin was intraperitoneally administered into adult male mice at 100 μg/kg daily for 7 days, followed by a single intraperitoneal doxorubicin injection at 10 mg/kg. Animals continued to receive rosuvastatin daily for an additional 14 days. Cardiac function was assessed by echocardiography. Optical calcium mapping was performed on retrograde Langendorff perfused isolated hearts. Ventricular tissue samples were analyzed by immunofluorescence microscopy, Western blotting, and quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Results Exposure to doxorubicin resulted in significantly reduced fractional shortening (27.4% ± 1.11% vs 40% ± 5.8% in controls; P < 0.001) and re-expression of the fetal gene program. However, we found no evidence of maladaptive cardiac hypertrophy or adverse ventricular remodeling in mice exposed to this dose of doxorubicin. In contrast, rosuvastatin-doxorubicin-treated mice maintained their cardiac function (39% ± 1.26%; P < 0.001). Mechanistically, the effect of rosuvastatin was associated with activation of Akt and phosphorylation of phospholamban with preserved sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ transporting 2 (SERCA2)-mediated Ca2+ reuptake. These effects occurred independently of perturbations in ryanodine receptor 2 function. Conclusions Rosuvastatin counteracts the cardiotoxic effects of doxorubicin by directly targeting sarcoplasmic calcium cycling.

Abstract
Aging is associated with increased prevalence of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias, but mechanisms underlying higher susceptibility to arrhythmogenesis and means to prevent such arrhythmias under stress are not fully defined. We aimed to define differences in aging-associated susceptibility to ventricular fibrillation (VF) induction between young and aged hearts. VF induction was attempted in isolated perfused hearts of young (6-month) and aged (24-month-old) male Fischer-344 rats by rapid pacing before and following isoproterenol (1 μM) or global ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) injury with or without pretreatment with low-dose tetrodotoxin, a late sodium current blocker. At baseline, VF could not be induced; however, the susceptibility to inducible VF after isoproterenol and spontaneous VF following I/R was 6-fold and 3-fold higher, respectively, in old hearts (P < 0.05). Old animals had longer epicardial monophasic action potential at 90% repolarization (APD90; P < 0.05) and displayed a loss of isoproterenol-induced shortening of APD90 present in the young. In isolated ventricular cardiomyocytes from older but not younger animals, 4-aminopyridine prolonged APD and induced early afterdepolarizations (EADs) and triggered activity with isoproterenol. Low-dose tetrodotoxin (0.5 μM) significantly shortened APD without altering action potential upstroke and prevented 4-aminopyridine-mediated APD prolongation, EADs, and triggered activity. Tetrodotoxin pretreatment prevented VF induction by pacing in isoproterenol-challenged hearts. Vulnerability to VF following I/R or catecholamine challenge is significantly increased in old hearts that display reduced repolarization reserve and increased propensity to EADs, triggered activity, and ventricular arrhythmogenesis that can be suppressed by low-dose tetrodotoxin, suggesting a role of slow sodium current in promoting arrhythmogenesis with aging.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Doxorubicin (Dox) is a potent chemotherapeutic agent, but its usage is limited by dose-dependent cardiotoxicity. Intracellular calcium dysregulation has been reported to be involved in doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy (DICM). The cardioprotective role of RyR stabilizer dantrolene (Dan) on the calcium dynamics of DICM has not yet been explored. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of dantrolene on intracellular calcium dysregulation and cardiac contractile function in a DICM model. METHODS Adult male C57BL/6 mice were randomized into 4 groups: (1) Control, (2) Dox Only, (3) Dan Only, and (4) Dan + Dox. Fractional shortening (FS) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were assessed by echocardiography. In addition, mice were sacrificed 2 weeks after doxorubicin injection for optical mapping of the heart in a Langendorff setup. RESULTS Treatment with Dox was associated with a reduction in both FS and LVEF at 2 weeks (P < .0001) and 4 weeks (P < .006). Dox treatment was also associated with prolongation of calcium transient durations CaTD50 (P = .0005) and CaTD80 (P < .0001) and reduction of calcium amplitude alternans ratio (P < .0001). Concomitant treatment with Dan prevented the Dox-induced decline in FS and LVEF (P < .002 at both 2 and 4 weeks). Dan also prevented Dox-induced prolongation of CaTD50 and CaTD80 and improved the CaT alternans ratio (P < .0001). Finally, calcium transient rise time was increased in the doxorubicin-treated group, indicating RyR2 dyssynchrony, and dantrolene prevented this prolongation (P = .02). CONCLUSION Dantrolene prevents cardiac contractile dysfunction following doxorubicin treatment by mitigating dysregulation of calcium dynamics.

Abstract
Enhancement of the late Na+ current (INaL) increases arrhythmia propensity in the heart, while suppression of the current is antiarrhythmic. GS967 is an agent considered as a selective blocker of INaL. In the present study, effects of GS967 on INaL and action potential (AP) morphology were studied in canine ventricular myocytes by using conventional voltage clamp, action potential voltage clamp and sharp microelectrode techniques. The effects of GS967 (1 µM) were compared to those of the class I/B antiarrhythmic compound mexiletine (40 µM). Under conventional voltage clamp conditions, INaL was significantly suppressed by GS967 and mexiletine, causing 80.4 ± 2.2% and 59.1 ± 1.8% reduction of the densities of INaL measured at 50 ms of depolarization, and 79.0 ± 3.1% and 63.3 ± 2.7% reduction of the corresponding current integrals, respectively. Both drugs shifted the voltage dependence of the steady-state inactivation curve of INaL towards negative potentials. GS967 and mexiletine dissected inward INaL profiles under AP voltage clamp conditions having densities, measured at 50% of AP duration (APD), of −0.37 ± 0.07 and −0.28 ± 0.03 A/F, and current integrals of −56.7 ± 9.1 and −46.6 ± 5.5 mC/F, respectively. Drug effects on peak Na+ current (INaP) were assessed by recording the maximum velocity of AP upstroke (V+max) in multicellular preparations. The offset time constant was threefold faster for GS967 than mexiletine (110 ms versus 289 ms), while the onset of the rate-dependent block was slower in the case of GS967. Effects on beat-to-beat variability of APD was studied in isolated myocytes. Beat-to-beat variability was significantly decreased by both GS967 and mexiletine (reduction of 42.1 ± 6.5% and 24.6 ± 12.8%, respectively) while their shortening effect on APD was comparable. It is concluded that the electrophysiological effects of GS967 are similar to those of mexiletine, but with somewhat faster offset kinetics of V+max block. However, since GS967 depressed V+max and INaL at the same concentration, the current view that GS967 represents a new class of drugs that selectively block INaL has to be questioned and it is suggested that GS967 should be classified as a class I/B antiarrhythmic agent.

Abstract
The cardiac late sodium current (INa,late) is the small sustained component of the sodium current active during the plateau phase of the action potential. Several studies demonstrated that augmentation of the current can lead to cardiac arrhythmias; therefore, INa,late is considered as a promising antiarrhythmic target. Fundamentally, enlarged INa,late increases Na+ influx into the cell, which, in turn, is converted to elevated intracellular Ca2+ concentration through the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger. The excessive Ca2+ load is known to be proarrhythmic. This review describes the behavior of the voltage-gated Na+ channels generating INa,late in health and disease and aims to discuss the physiology and pathophysiology of Na+ and Ca2+ homeostasis in context with the enhanced INa,late demonstrating also the currently accessible antiarrhythmic choices.

Mechanisms of ranolazine pretreatment in preventing ventricular tachyarrhythmias in diabetic db/db mice with acute regional ischemia-reperfusion injury. Sci Rep 2020; 10:20032.

Abstract
Studies have demonstrated that diabetic (db/db) mice have increased susceptibility to myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury and ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VA). We aimed to investigate the antiarrhythmic and molecular mechanisms of ranolazine in db/db mouse hearts with acute IR injury. Ranolazine was administered for 1 week before coronary artery ligation. Diabetic db/db and control db/+ mice were divided into ranolazine-given and -nongiven groups. IR model was created by 15-min left coronary artery ligation and 10-min reperfusion. In vivo electrophysiological studies showed that the severity of VA inducibility was higher in db/db mice than control (db/ +) mice. Ranolazine suppressed the VA inducibility and severity. Optical mapping studies in Langendorff-perfused hearts showed that ranolazine significantly shortened action potential duration, Cai transient duration, Cai decay time, ameliorated conduction inhomogeneity, and suppressed arrhythmogenic alternans induction. Western blotting studies showed that the expression of pThr17-phospholamban, calsequestrin 2 and voltage-gated sodium channel in the IR zone was significantly downregulated in db/db mice, which was ameliorated with ranolazine pretreatment and might play a role in the anti-arrhythmic actions of ranolazine in db/db mouse hearts with IR injury.

Abstract
Background The Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor ibrutinib is associated with ventricular arrhythmia (VA) and sudden death. However, the pro-arrhythmic electrophysiological dysregulation that results from ibrutinib with age and cardiovascular disease is unknown. Objectives This study sought to investigate the acute effects of ibrutinib on left ventricular (LV) VA vulnerability, cytosolic calcium dynamics, and membrane electrophysiology in old and young spontaneous hypertensive rats (SHRs). Methods Langendorff-perfused hearts of young (10 to 14 weeks) and old (10 to 14 months) SHRs were treated with ibrutinib (0.1 μmol/l) or vehicle for 30 min. Simultaneously, LV epicardial action potential and cytosolic calcium transients were optically mapped following an incremental pacing protocol. Calcium and action potential dynamics parameters were analyzed. VA vulnerability was assessed by electrically inducing ventricular fibrillations (VFs) in each heart. Western blot analysis was performed on LV tissues. Results Ibrutinib treatment resulted in higher vulnerability to VF in old SHR hearts (27.5 ± 7.5% vs. 5.7 ± 3.7%; p = 0.026) but not in young SHR hearts (8.0 ± 4.9% vs. 0%; p = 0.193). In old SHR hearts, following ibrutinib treatment, action potential duration (APD) alternans (p = 0.008) and APD alternans spatial discordance (p = 0.027) were more prominent. Moreover, calcium transient duration 50 was longer (p = 0.032), calcium amplitude alternans ratio was significantly lower (p = 0.001), and time-to-peak of calcium amplitude was shorter (p = 0.037). In young SHR hearts, there were no differences in calcium and APD dynamics. Conclusions Ibrutinib-induced VA is associated with old age in SHR. Acute dysregulation of calcium and repolarization dynamics play important roles in ibrutinib-induced VF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF) remain a challenging problem in patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs). OBJECTIVES This study aimed to determine whether ranolazine administration decreases the likelihood of VT, VF, or death in patients with an ICD. METHODS This was double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial in which high-risk ICD patients with ischemic or nonischemic cardiomyopathy were randomized to 1,000 mg ranolazine twice a day or placebo. The primary endpoint was VT or VF requiring appropriate ICD therapy or death, whichever occurred first. Pre-specified secondary endpoints included ICD shock for VT, VF, or death and recurrent VT or VF requiring ICD therapy. RESULTS Among 1,012 ICD patients (510 randomized to ranolazine and 502 to placebo) the mean age was 64 ± 10 years and 18% were women. During 28 ± 16 months of follow-up there were 372 (37%) patients with primary endpoint, 270 (27%) patients with VT or VF, and 148 (15%) deaths. The blinded study drug was discontinued in 199 (39.6%) patients receiving placebo and in 253 (49.6%) patients receiving ranolazine (p = 0.001). The hazard ratio for ranolazine versus placebo was 0.84 (95% confidence interval: 0.67 to 1.05; p = 0.117) for VT, VF, or death. In a pre-specified secondary analysis, patients randomized to ranolazine had a marginally significant lower risk of ICD therapies for recurrent VT or VF (hazard ratio: 0.70; 95% confidence interval: 0.51 to 0.96; p = 0.028). There were no other significant treatment effects in other pre-specified secondary analyses, which included individual components of the primary endpoint, inappropriate shocks, cardiac hospitalizations, and quality of life. CONCLUSIONS In high-risk ICD patients, treatment with ranolazine did not significantly reduce the incidence of the first VT or VF, or death. However, the study was underpowered to detect a difference in the primary endpoint. In prespecified secondary endpoint analyses, ranolazine administration was associated with a significant reduction in recurrent VT or VF requiring ICD therapy without evidence for increased mortality.

Abstract
Ranolazine is a new medication for the treatment of refractory angina. However, except its anti-anginal properties, it has been found to act as an anti-arrhythmic. The aim of our systematic review is to present the existing data about the impact of ranolazine in ventricular arrhythmias. We searched MEDLINE and Cochrane databases as well clinicaltrials.gov until September 1, 2017 to find all studies (clinical trials, observational studies, case reports/series) reported data about the impact of ranolazine in ventricular arrhythmias. Our search revealed 14 studies (3 clinical trials, 2 observational studies, 8 case reports, 1 case series). These data reported a beneficial impact of ranolazine in ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation, premature ventricular beats, and ICD interventions in different clinical settings. The existing data highlight the anti-arrhythmic properties of ranolazine in ventricular arrhythmias.
