抗心律失常肽对陈旧性心肌梗死兔室性心律失常的影响

目的观察缝隙连接激动剂抗心律失常肽(AAP10)对陈旧性心肌梗死(OMI)兔室性心律失常的影响,并探讨其作用机制。方法将30只雄性日本大耳白兔随机分为假手术组(Sham)、OMI 组和 AAP10组,每组各10只。Sham 组开胸但不结扎冠状动脉,OMI 组和 AAP10组开胸并结扎冠状动脉左室支制备心肌梗死模型,普通饲料喂养3个月后制备兔左心室楔形心肌块的灌注模型。Sham 组和 OMI 组灌流正常台氏液,AAP10组灌流正常台氏液+AAP10(80 nmol/L)。灌流全程同时采用浮置玻璃微电极法同步记录内膜下心肌、外膜下心肌跨膜动作电位和跨壁心电图,并观察心外膜下心肌的刺激反应间期(stimulus-response-interval,SRI)和室性心动过速(室速)的诱发率。结束试验后测量梗死周边区心室壁的厚度、左室重、全心重。结果 OMI 组和 AAP10组兔均存在显著的心肌重构,并且 OMI 组兔有较高的室速诱发率(80%)。OMI 组与 AAP10组相比,AAP10显著缩短 SRI[SRI-1为(28.71±0.55)ms 与(20.59±0.79)ms;SRI-2为(38.67±0.49)ms 与(30.42±0.74)ms,P<0.01],而且 AAP10明显降低室速的诱发率(20%),但对动作电位形态和时程均无影响。结论AAP10可以在不影响动作电位形态和时程的前提下提高缝隙连接的传导速度,并可降低 OMI 兔室性心律失常的发生率。

The effects of antiarrhythmic peptide AAP10 on ventricular arrhythmias in rabbits with healed myocardial infarction

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of antiarrhythmic peptide (AAP10) on ventricular arrhythmias in rabbits with healed myocardial infarction (OMI). METHODS: Thirty rabbits were randomly divided into three groups (n = 10 each): Sham group, left thoracotomy was performed without coronary ligation; OMI group and OMI + AAP10 group, the circumflex coronaries were ligated. Three months post operation, the electrophysiological and antiarrhythmic effects of AAP10 were assessed in the arterially perfused rabbit left ventricular wedge preparation. Sham and OMI group were perfused with Tyrode's solution and OMI + AAP10 group was perfused with Tyrode's solution + AAP10 (80 nmol/L). Transmembrane action potentials were recorded simultaneously from endocardium and epicardium together with a transmural ECG by use of 2 separate intracellular floating microelectrodes. The stimulus-response-interval (SRI) of the epicardium and the incidence of ventricular tachycardia (VT) were observed. Whole heart and left ventricular weights, the left ventricular thickness at infarct border zone were measured. RESULTS: Whole heart and left ventricular weights as well as the left ventricular thickness at the infarct border zone significantly increased post infarction. VT was induced in 8 out of 10 rabbits in OMI group and in 2 out of 10 rabbits in OMI + AAP10 group (P < 0.05). SRI was also significantly shortened in OMI + AAP10 group compared to OMI group [SRI-1: (20.59 +/- 0.79) ms vs. (28.71 +/- 0.55) ms; SRI-2: (30.42 +/- 0.74) ms vs. (38.67 +/- 0.49) ms, all P < 0.01]. However, the action potential morphology and duration were similar between OMI and OMI + AAP10 groups. CONCLUSION: The antiarrhythmic peptide (AAP10) can increase gap junctional intercellular conductance without affecting the action potential morphology and duration and decrease the incidence of inducible ventricular tachycardia.
