Abstract: | AIM: To study the effects of ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) on primary cultured sinoatrial node (SAN) cells and the influence of pinacidil (a KATP channel activator). METHODS: The SAN cells were isolated from newborn rats and purified. The 48 h cultured cells were cultivated in following mediums: simulated reperfusion solution as normal control, simulated ischemia/reperfusion solution (I/R), Pinacidil+I/R (P+I/R), 5-HD+P+I/R and 5-HD+I/R. Spontaneous action potentials were recorded by ruptured-patch whole-cell technique in current clamp (I=0) and the maximum diastolic potential (MDP), upstroke velocity (UV), action potential overshoot (APO), interbeat interval (IBI) and action potential durations at 50% repolarization (APD50) were measured. RESULTS: Compared with control group, simulated ischemia/reperfusion shorten APD50, reduced UV, MDP and APO. Exposed to pinacidil, MDP of cells in I/R groups was hyperpolarized; IBI, UV and APO were increased; APD50 was shorten. 5-HD couldn't block the effects of pinacdil on APD50, IBI and MDP, but reversed its actions on increasing UV and APO. CONCLUSIONS: Pinacidil made changes of AP in I/R group by opening different KATP channels of SAN cells. The role of this changes on protection in SAN cells during ischemia/reperfusion requires further investigation. |
