Abstract

Insulin has shown to have cardioprotective effect in diabetic patient after digoxin intoxication. The latter, prompted us to study whether insulin interacts directly with Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase. The interaction of insulin with Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase was explored using enzyme activity, Biacore and Western blot. We also used, flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry and chronotropy on both neonatal and adult rats cardiomyocytes. Insulin at concentration 1.7e⁻⁷ M blunted the effect of digoxin on Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase activity. In Western blot, the same insulin concentration decreased enzyme α subunit immunoreactivity. Insulin and digoxin decreased both enzyme α subunit immunoreactivity but insulin/digoxin co-treatment did not. Biacore confirmed a direct interaction between insulin and Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase. In neonatal rat cardiomyocytes, insulin plus digoxin induced cell apoptosis but not alone. In adult rat cardiomyocytes, insulin at optimal dose did not induce apoptosis but prevented the one induced by digoxin. In immunocytochemsitry both insulin and digoxin altered Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase α subunit immunoreactivity while their association did not. Finally, insulin increased the beating rate of neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (45±7 beats/min); so did digoxin (36±13 beats/min). T...Continue Reading

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
