文摘

The hexosamine biosynthetic pathway (HBP) is heightened in cardiomyopathies. We aimed at understanding how over-activation of HBP impacts on cardiac electrophysiology, and acts as a trigger or a substrate of cardiac arrhythmias.

Methods

Overactivation of the HBP by injection of glucosamine (GlcN 270mg/kg) was assessed under basal conditions and during beta-adrenergic stress on the myocardial energetic status (phosphocreatine to ATP ratio) of rats by ³¹P nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Rat hearts were perfused ex vivo to evaluate the effects of the HBP activation (physiologically: glutamine 0.5mM – gln; overactivated: GlcN 1mM) on: cardiac function, MVO₂, and arrhythmia score (AS) under basal (spontaneous arrhythmias: sAS) and pacing (pAS) conditions. At the cellular level (HL1 cells), HBP overactivation (GlcN) was assessed on conduction velocity characterized by micro-electrode arrays recordings, and properties of voltage gated ionic channels involved in cellular excitability and conduction by patch clamp experiments.

Results

In vivo GlcN did not modify PCr/ATP of the left ventricle under basal conditions. This ratio was significantly decreased during beta-adrenergic stress, while a similar increased heart rate was reported. When hearts were isolated and perfused ex vivo, GlcN induced a decrease of the heart rate and MVO₂ temporarily, and an increase of the sAS and pAS. Physiological activation of HBP with gln did not impact the ex vivo cardiac function and the sAS, but further increased the probability of atrial arrhythmias during pacing. In HL1 cells, GlcN reduced the rate of spontaneous depolarization, modified the direction and the velocity of the impulse propagation, and altered activation and inactivation properties of the sodium channel.

Conclusion

Acute HBP activation is associated with an increased vulnerability for arrhythmias and alteration of impulse conduction, suggesting its potential role in the atrial and ventricular arrhythmias.
