摘要
Objective: In the present study we examined the effects of diltiazem, an L-type Ca2+ channel blocker widely used for the control of the ventricular rate in patients with supraventricular arrhythmias, on hKv1.5 and Kv4.3 channels that generate the cardiac ultrarapid delayed rectifier (I-Kur) and the 4-aminopyridine sensitive transient outward (I-to) K+ currents, respectively. Methods: hKv1.5 and Kv4.3 channels were stably and transiently expressed in mouse fibroblast and Chinese hamster ovary cells, respectively. Currents were recorded using the whole-cell patch clamp. Results: Diltiazem (0.01 nM-500 muM) blocked hKv1.5 channels, in a frequency-dependent manner exhibiting a biphasic dose-response curve (IC50=4.8+/-1.5 nM and 42.3+/-3.6 muM). Diltiazem delayed the initial phase of the tail current decline and shifted the midpoint of the activation (Vh=-16.5+/-2.1 mV vs -20.4+/-2.6 mV, P<0.001) and inactivation (Vh=-22.4+/-0.7 mV vs -28.2+/-1.9 mV, P<0.001) curves to more negative potentials. The analysis of the development of the diltiazem-induced block yielded apparent association (k) and dissociation (P) rate constants of (1.6+/-0.2)x 10(6) M(-1)s(-1) and 46.8+/-4.8 s(-1), respectively. Diltiazem (0.1 nM-100 muM) also blocked Kv4.3 channels in a frequency-dependent manner exhibiting a biphasic dose-response curve (IC50=62.6+/-11.1 nM and 109.9+/-12.8 muM). Diltiazem decreased the peak current and, at concentrations greater than or equal to 0.1 muM, accelerated the inactivation time course. The apparent association and dissociation rate constants resulted (1.7+/-0.2)x10(6) M(-1)s(-1) and 258.6+/-38.1 s(-1), respectively. Diltiazem, 10 nM, shifted to more negative potentials the voltage-dependence of Kv4.3 channel inactivation (Vh=-33.1+/-2.3 mV vs -38.2+/-3.5 mV, n=6, P<0.05) the blockade increasing at potentials at which the amount of inactivated channels increased. Conclusion: The results demonstrated for the first time that diltiazem, at therapeutic concentrations, decreased hKv1.5 and Kv4.3 currents by binding to the open and the inactivated state of the channels.
