Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H(2)S), an endogenous gaseous transmitter, was found to protect the heart from various forms of injury, but the underlying mechanism is not known. H(2)S can open the K(ATP) channel on vascular smooth muscle cells, and the objective of this study was to determine whether H(2)S can open the K(ATP) channel on myocardiocytes. The whole-cell patch-clamp technique was used to record I(K,ATP) and action potentials of atrial and ventricular myocytes isolated from the hearts of male Wistar rats. Sodium hydrogen sulfide (NaHS) was used as a donor of H(2)S to observe the effect of exogenous H(2)S on I(K,ATP). DL-propargylglycine (PPG), an inhibitor of the synthesis of H(2)S, was used at a concentration of 200 microM to observe the effect of endogenous H(2)S on I(K,ATP). NaHS at concentrations (in microM) of 9.375, 18.75, 37.5, 75 and 150 increased I(K,ATP) by 12.8% (p > 0.05), 28.4% (p < 0.05), 38.8% (p < 0.01), 51.2% (p < 0.01) and 58.6% (p< 0.01) on ventricular myocytes, respectively, and by 6.8% (p > 0.05), 10.4% (p > 0.05), 18.9% (p < 0.01), 24.8% (p < 0.01) and 37.2% (p < 0.01) on atrial myocytes, respectively. The H(2)S-induced decrease in the duration of action potentials (APD(90)) of ventricular myocytes was conc...Continue Reading
