Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with fibrosis that slows electrical conduction and causes perpetuation of the arrhythmia. The molecular characterization of AF pathophysiology may provide novel therapeutic options. This study was designed to elucidate profibrotic signaling and myofibroblast activation in a porcine model of atrial tachypacing-induced AF and reduced left ventricular function.
Heart failure (HF) is linked to electrical remodeling that promotes ventricular arrhythmias. Underlying molecular signaling is insufficiently understood, in particular concerning patients with early disease stages. Previous observations suggest a key role for epigenetic mechanisms in cardiac remodeling processes. We hypothesized that histone deacetylases (HDACs) 1 and 2 contribute to cellular electrophysiological dysregulation in ventricular cardiomyocytes during HF development.
Effective management of atrial fibrillation (AF) often remains an unmet need. Cardiac two-pore-domain K(+) (K2P) channels are implicated in action potential regulation, and their inhibition has been proposed as a novel antiarrhythmic strategy. K2P2.1 (TREK-1) channels are expressed in the human heart. This study was designed to identify and functionally express porcine K2P2.1 channels. In addition, we sought to analyze cardiac expression and AF-associated K2P2.1 remodeling in a clinically relevant porcine AF model.
K(2P)2.1 (TREK1) two-pore-domain potassium channels control electrical activity in the central nervous system (CNS) and in the heart. Auxiliary β subunits (Kvβ) increase functional K+ channel diversity in the CNS. Based on similar tissue distribution and common functional significance of Kvβ2 protein and K(2P)2.1 channels in neuronal excitability, we hypothesized that Kvβ2 subunits modulate K2P2.1 currents.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) with concomitant heart failure (HF) is associated with prolonged atrial refractoriness. Small-conductance, calcium-activated K+ (KCa, KCNN) channels promote action potential (AP) repolarization. KCNN2 and KCNN3 variants are associated with AF risk. In addition, histone deacetylase (HDAC)-related epigenetic mechanisms have been implicated in AP regulation. We hypothesized that HDAC2-dependent remodeling of KCNN2 and KCNN3 expression contributes to atrial arrhythmogenesis in AF complicated by HF. The objectives were to assess HDAC2 and KCNN2/3 transcript levels in AF/HF patients and in a pig model, and to investigate cellular epigenetic effects of HDAC2 inactivation on KCNN expression.
