The aim of this study was to investigate the effect and mechanism of arecoline hydrobromide induced inhibition of hERG K^+ current (/hERG). Methods Transient transfection of hERG channel cDNA plasmid pcDNA3.1 into the cultured HEK293 cells was performed using Lipofectamine. A standard whole-cell patch-clamp technique was used to record the /hI=RG before and after the exposure to arecoline. Results Arecoline decreased the amplitude and the density of the /bERG in a concentration-dependent manner (IC5o=9.55 μmol/L). At test potential of +60 mV, the magnitude of lhERG tail at test pulse of -40 mV was reduced from (151.7±6.2) pA/pF to (84.4±7.6) pA/pF (P 〈0.01, n=20) and the magnitude of IhERG tail at test pulse of -110 mV was reduced from (-187.5±9.8) pA/pF to (-97.6±12.6) pA/pF (P 〈0.01, n=20). The blockade of arecoline in the open and inactivated state was significant in a state-dependent manner. The maximal blockade was achieved in the inactivated state. Studies of gating mechanism showed that the steady-state activation curve of IhERG was significantly negatively shifted by arecoline. Time constants of activation were shortened. Steady-state inactivation curve and time constants of fast inactivation were not significantly affected by arecoline. Furthermore, the inhibition of IhERG by arecoline was characterized markedly by a frequency-dependent manner from 0.03 to 1.00 Hz pulse. Conclusion Arecoline could potently block IhERG in both frequency and state-dependent manner.展开更多
