辣椒素对离体豚鼠乳头状肌的电生理效应

应用细胞内微电极技术,观察了辣椒素(capsaicin,CAP)对豚鼠乳头状肌细胞的电生理效应。结果表明：(1)CAP(30、60、120μmol／L)可浓度依赖地缩短正常乳头状肌的动作电位时程。(2)对部分去极化乳头状肌,CAP(60μmol／L)除缩短动作电位时程外,还使动作电位幅值和超射值降低,零相最大上升速度减慢。(3)预先应用L型钙通道开放剂Bay K8644(0．5μmol／L),则可阻断CAP(60μmol／L)的电生理效应。(4)预先应用辣椒素受体(va-nilloid receptor,VR)阻断剂钌红(20μmol／L),不影响CAP(60μnol／L)的电生理效应。以上结果提示,CAP可能通过非受体途径抑制Ca^2 内流,从而影响豚鼠乳头状肌电生理效应。

植物性雌激素genistein对豚鼠乳头肌的电生理效应

应用细胞内微电极技术,观察了genistein(GST)对豚鼠乳头肌的电生理效应。结果显示：（1）GST（10-100μmol/L)浓度依赖地缩短正常乳头肌动作电位时程;（2）对部分去极化乳头肌,GST（50μmol/L)除缩短动作电位时程外,还使动作电位幅值和超射值降低,零相最大上升速度减慢;（3）预先应用一氧化氮合酶抑制剂L-NNA（5mmol/L)。不影响GST（50μmol/L)的电生理效应;（4）单独应用17β-雌二醇（E2,5μmol/L)或GST（10μmol/L)时,动作电位各参数无明显变化。而预先应用同剂量的GST再加入E2,则动作电位时程缩短,结果提示,GST可能通过非NO途径抑制Ca^2 内流,从而影响豚鼠乳头肌电生理效应,并与E2有加强或协同效应。     

硫化氢对家兔窦房结起搏细胞的电生理效应

本研究应用细胞内微电极技术,观察硫化氢(hydrogen sulfide,H2S)对家兔窦房结起搏细胞的电生理效应.结果表明:(1)NaHs(H2S供体)50、100、200 μmol/L浓度依赖地降低家兔窦房结起搏细胞4相去极化速率及起搏放电频率.(2)ATP敏感性钾(ATP-sensitive K ,KATP)通道阻断剂格列苯脲(glybenclamide,Gli,20 μmol/L)阻断NariS(100 μmol/L)的电生理效应.(3)预先应用起搏离子流(pacemaker currenL,If)通道阻断剂氯化铯(CsCl,2 mmol/L)对Naris(100μmol/L.)的电生理效应无影响.(4)胱硫醚-γ裂解酶(cystathionine γ-lyase,CSE)的不可逆抑制剂DL-propargylglycine (PPG,200 μmol/L)的家兔窦房结起搏细胞的动作电位参数无影响.以上结果提示,H2S对家兔窦房结起搏细胞有负性变时作用,这些效应可能与其开放KATP通道,增加K 外流有关,与If无关.本实验没有发现窦房结起搏细胞内有CSE催化产生的内源性H2S的合成.

1-磷酸鞘氨醇对豚鼠心室肌动作电位和收缩力的影响

目的：研究1-磷酸鞘氨醇（S1P）对豚鼠心室肌动作电位（AP）和心肌收缩力（CF）的影响。方法：实验采用标准玻璃微电极细胞内记录技术记录心室肌细胞动作电位（AP）肌力换能器记录心肌收缩力（CF）。结果：①应用0．1μmol／LS1P后心室肌动作电位幅度（APA）和时程（APD）与应用SIP前比较差异无显著性,而应用1．0μmol／LS1P,10μmol／LS1P后心室肌动作电位的幅度（APA）与应用S1P前比较明显降低而动作电位的时程（APD）与应用S1P前比较明显延长（P〈0．01）。②应用1．0μmol／LS1P和10μmol／LSIP后心室肌的CF与给药前相比明显增强（P〈0．01）,应用0．1μmol／LS1P后心室肌的CF与给药前比较差异无显著性（P〉0．05）。而加入S1P特异性G蛋白耦联内皮细胞分化基因（EDG）受体阻断剂苏拉明后,S1P的上述作用与给药前比较差异无显著性（P〉0．05）。结论：S1P可以降低心室肌动作电位幅值延长动作电住时程,增加心室肌收缩力,并且是通过其特异性的G蛋白耦联内皮细胞分化基因（EDG）受体介导而产生这些作用,有一定的剂量依赖性.

研究旨在应用标准玻璃微电极技术,观察白藜芦醇对哇巴因所引起的离体豚鼠乳头状肌迟后去极化(delayed after depolarization,DAD)及触发活动(triggered activity,TA)的效应。结果显示：(1)预先给予白藜芦醇(30、60、120μmol／L)可剂量依赖性地抑制哇巴因所引起的乳头状肌DAD及TA;(2)预先应用L型钙通道开放剂Bay K8644(0．25μmol／L),可取消白藜芦醇的上述效应;(3)预先应用一氧化氮合酶抑制剂L-NAME(1mmol／L),对白藜芦醇的上述效应无影响;(4)单独应用17β-雌二醇(E2,5μmol／1．0或白藜芦醇(30μmol／L)对DAD及TA无明显影响,而联合应用相同剂量的E2和白藜芦醇则对DAD及TA产生明显的抑制效应;(5)预先应用雌激素受体拮抗剂他莫昔芬(10μmol／L)不能取消白藜芦醇对DAD及TA的抑制作用。以上结果表明,白藜芦醇具有抑制乳头状肌DAD及TA的作用,这一效应可能与其抑制钙离子内流有关,但此作用机制中NO和雌激素受体的作用并不显著。白藜芦醇这种抗心律失常作用对于心血管系统具有一定的保护意义。     

腺苷减少豚鼠心室肌细胞内游离钙浓度

目的：研究腺苷对豚鼠心室肌细胞内游离钙浓度（[Ca^2＋]i）的影响并探讨其可能机制。方法：用激光共聚焦显微镜探测细胞内游离钙浓度,结果用相对荧光强度（（FI-FI0）／FI0,％;FI0：对照;FI：给药）表示。结果：①在正常台氏液和无钙台氏液中,腺苷（10,50,100μmol／L）浓度依赖性地降低[Ca^2＋];。②含30mmol／L KCl的台氏液（高钾台氏液）能够增加[Ca^2＋]i。腺苷（10,50,100μmol／L）能够显著抑制KCl引起的[Ca^2＋]i的增加。③预先应用选择性腺苷AI受体拮抗剂DPCPX（1μmol／L）,可大部分取消腺苷（100μmol／L）在高钾台氏液中的作用。腺苷（100μmol／L）在高钾台氏液的作用也可被预先应用一氧化氮（No）合酶抑制剂L-NAME（1mmol／L）所部分减弱。④腺苷（100μmol／L）能明显抑制无钙台氏液中由低浓度ryanodine引起的[Ca^2＋];增加。⑤当细胞外液钙浓度由1mmol／L增加到10mmol／L而诱发心室肌细胞钙超载时,部分心室肌细胞产生可传播的钙波,腺苷（100μmol／L）可降低钙波发生的频率和持续时间,最终阻断钙波并降低[Ca^2＋];。结论：腺苷可通过抑制外钙内流和减少肌浆网内钙释放从而降低[Ca^2＋],其减少外钙内流可能是由于腺苷A1受体介导的电压依赖性Ca^2＋通道的抑制,NO可能参与这一过程。     

Hydrogen sulfide contributes to cardioprotection during ischemia-reperfusion injury by opening K ATP channels

The present study was undertaken to investigate the protective effect of H2S against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury and its possible mechanism by using isolated heart perfusion and patch clamp recordings. Rat isolated hearts were Langendorff-perfused and subjected to a 30-minute ischemia insult followed by a 30-minute reperfusion. The heart function was assessed by measuring the LVDP, +/-dP/dt max, and the arrhythmia score. The results showed that the treatment of hearts with a H2S donor (40 micromol/L NaHS) during reperfusion resulted in significant improvement in heart function compared with the I/R group (LVDP recovered to 85.0% +/- 6.4% vs. 35.0% +/- 6.1%, +dP/dt max recovered to 80.9% +/- 4.2% vs. 43.0% +/- 6.4%, and -dP/dt max recovered to 87.4% +/- 7.3% vs. 53.8% +/- 4.9%; p < 0.01). The arrhythmia scores also improved in the NaHS group compared with the I/R group (1.5 +/- 0.2 vs. 4.0 +/- 0.4, respectively; p < 0.001). The cardioprotective effect of NaHS during reperfusion could be blocked by an ATP-sensitive potassium channel (K ATP) blocker (10 micromol/L glibenclamide). In single cardiac myocytes, NaHS increased the open probability of K ATP channels from 0.07 +/- 0.03 to 0.15 +/- 0.08 after application of 40 mumol/L NaHS and from 0.07 +/- 0.03 to 0.36 +/- 0.15 after application of 100 mumol/L NaHS. These findings provide the first evidence that H2S increases the open probability of K ATP in cardiac myocytes, which may be responsible for cardioprotection against I/R injury during reperfusion.     

Hydrogen Sulfide Alleviates Aluminum Toxicity in Germinating Wheat Seedlings

Protective role of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) on seed germination and seedling growth was studied in wheat (Triticum) seeds subjected to aluminum (Al3+) stress. We show that germination and seedling growth of wheat is inhibited by high concentrations of AICI3. At 30 mmol/L AICI3 germination is reduced by about 50% and seedling growth is more dramatically inhibited by this treatment. Pre-incubation of wheat seeds in the H2S donor NaHS alleviates AICI3-induced stress in a dose-dependant manner at an optimal concentration of 0.3 mmol/L. We verified that the role of NaHS in alleviating Al3+ stress could be attributed to H2S/HS- by showing that the level of endogenous H2S increased following NaHS treatment. Furthermore, other sodium salts containing sulfur were ineffective in alleviating Al3+ stress. NaHS pretreatment significantly increased the activities of amylases and esterases and sustained much lower levels of MDA and H2O2 in germinating seeds under Al3+ stress. Moreover, NaHS pretreatment increased the activities of guaiacol peroxidase, ascorbate peroxidase, superoxide dismutase and catalase and decreased that of lipoxygenase. NaHS pretreatment also decreased the uptake of Al3+ in AICI3-treated seed. Taken together these results suggest that H2S could increase antioxidant capability in wheat seeds leading to the alleviation of Al3+ stress.     

The cardiovascular effects of central hydrogen sulfide are related to K(ATP) channels activation

Hydrogen sulfide (H(2)S), an endogenous "gasotransmitter", exists in the central nervous system. However, the central cardiovascular effects of endogenous H(2)S are not fully determined. The present study was designed to investigate the central cardiovascular effects and its possible mechanism in anesthetized rats. Intracerebroventricular (icv) injection of NaHS (0.17~17 microg) produced a significant and dose-dependent decrease in blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) (P < 0.05) compared to control. The higher dose of NaHS (17 microg, n = 6) decreased BP and HR quickly of rats and 2 of them died of respiratory paralyse. Icv injection of the cystathionine beta-synthetase (CBS) activator s-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM, 26 microg) also produced a significant hypotension and bradycardia, which were similar to the results of icv injection of NaHS. Furthermore, the hypotension and bradycardia induced by icv NaHS were effectively attenuated by pretreatment with the K(ATP) channel blocker glibenclamide but not with the CBS inhibitor hydroxylamine. The present study suggests that icv injection of NaHS produces hypotension and bradycardia, which is dependent on the K(ATP) channel activation.     

Electrical activity alterations induced by chronic absorption of lindane (gamma-hexachlorocyclohexane) trace concentrations in adult rat heart

The heart of adult rat offspring, born to mothers treated with trace concentrations of lindane (0.5 to 2 ppb) through a beverage and to mothers chronically treated with lindane (CL-T) with the same trace concentration, also through a beverage, during lactation and growth has a round shape and accumulates lindane. The left ventricle (LV) presents a hypertrophied area, atrophied papillary muscles, and unorganized collagen bundles and layers. These observations led us to study the electrical activity of their left ventricle papillary muscles (LVPM) by recording action potential using intracellular microelectrodes. CL-T shortened LVPM action potential duration (APD): 1 ppb shortened the plateau; 2 ppb shortened the plateau and the slow repolarizing phase. In CL-T (2 ppb) and untreated groups, low temperature (22 degrees C) decreased the resting potential and prolonged APD. TEA (tetraethylammonium; 1-2 mmol/L) partially lengthened CL-T (2 ppb lindane) APD. Quinidine (0.2 mmol/L) and E-4031 (10 nmol/L) prolonged CL-T APD, suggesting that the rapid delayed outward K+ current (IKr) was increased. Our results indicate the silent effects of chronic exposure to trace concentrations of lindane on the morphological and electrical activity of heart muscle. They demonstrate that chronic lindane treatment of female rats alters the tissue integrity and electrical activity in the LV of their offspring.
