Abstract
Arsenic trioxide (As(2)O(3)) has been found to be effective for relapsed or refractory acute promyelocytic leukaemia, but its clinical use is burdened by QT prolongation, Torsade de pointes tachycardias, and sudden cardiac death. The aim of the present study was to elucidate the ionic mechanisms of As(2)O(3)-induced abnormalities of cardiac electrophysiology and the therapeutic action of choline on As(2)O(3)-caused QT prolongation in guinea pig. Intravenous administration of As(2)O(3) prolonged the QT interval in a dose- and time-dependent manner in guinea pig hearts, and the QT prolongation could be modulated by choline. By using whole-cell patch clamp technique and confocal laser scanning microscopy, we found that As(2)O(3) significantly lengthened action potential duration measured at 50 and 90% of repolarization, enhanced L-type calcium currents (I(Ca-L)), inhibited delayed rectifier potassium currents (I(K)), and increased intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) in guinea pig ventricular myocytes. Choline corrected As(2)O(3)-mediated alterations of action potential duration, I(Ca-L) and [Ca(2+)](i), but had no effect on the I(K) inhibition. As(2)O(3) markedly disturbed the normal equilibrium of transmembrane curr...Continue Reading
