BACKGROUND: Ventricular-like human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) exhibit the electrophysiological characteristics of spontaneous beating. Previous studies demonstrated that dexmedetomidine (DMED), a highly selective and widely used α2-adrenoceptor agonist for sedation, analgesia, and stress management, may induce antiarrhythmic effects, especially ventricular tachycardia. However, the underlying mechanisms of the DMED-mediated antiarrhythmic effects remain to be fully elucidated.
METHODS: A conventional patch-clamp recording method was used to investigate the direct effects of DMED on spontaneous action potentials, pacemaker currents (I f), potassium (K+) channel currents (I K1 and I Kr), sodium (Na+) channel currents (I Na), and calcium (Ca2+) channel currents (I Ca) in ventricular-like hiPSC-CMs.
RESULTS: DMED dose-dependently altered the frequency of ventricular-like spontaneous action potentials with a half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 27.9 µM (n=6) and significantly prolonged the action potential duration at 90% repolarization (APD90). DMED also inhibited the amplitudes of the I Na and I Ca without affecting the activation and inactivation curves of these channels. DMED decreased the time constant of the Na+ and Ca2+ channel activation at potential -40 to -20 mv, and -20 mv. DMED increased the time constant of inactivation of the Na+ and Ca2+ channels. However, DMED did not affect the I K1, I Kr, I f, and their current-voltage relationship. The ability of DMED to decrease the spontaneous action potential frequency and the Na+ and Ca2+ channel amplitudes, were not blocked by yohimbine, idazoxan, or phentolamine.
CONCLUSIONS: DMED could inhibit the frequency of spontaneous action potentials and decrease the I Na and I Ca of hiPSC-CMs via mechanisms that were independent of the α2-adrenoceptor, the imidazoline receptor, and the α1-adrenoceptor. These inhibitory effects on hiPSC-CMs may contribute to the antiarrhythmic effects of DMED.
