A lot of animal models are developed with aim to advance in atrial fibrillation (AF) understanding. The hybrid B6CBAF1 mice are used extensively as a background to create manifestation of various diseases, however, their atrial electrophysiology, autonomic sympathetic innervation of the heart and potential for AF investigation is poorly characterized. In the present study we used ECG and microelectrode recordings from multicellular atrial preparations to reveal attributes of atrial electrical activity in B6CBAF1.

Aim: Atrial β2-adrenoceptors provide an important mechanism for regulation of cardiac function and changes in their downstream signaling are involved in processes underlying heart disorders. We have investigated the mechanism by which the cholesterol metabolite 5α-cholestan-3-one (5ɑCh3) modulates inotropic effect of β2-adrenoceptor agonist fenoterol.

Main Methods: Atria from mice were electrically stimulated and changes in contraction amplitude in response to fenoterol were studied in 5ɑCh3-pretreated samples.

Majority of cardiac β2-adrenoceptors is located in cholesterol-rich microdomains. Here, we have investigated the underlying mechanisms by which a slight to moderate cholesterol depletion with methyl-β-cyclodextrin (MβCD, 1 and 5mM) interferes with contractility and inotropic effect of β2-adrenergic agonist (fenoterol, 50μM) in the mouse atria. Treatment with MβCD itself increased amplitude of Ca transient but did not change the contraction amplitude due to a clamping action of elevated NO.
