Indoxyl Sulfate Induces Ventricular Arrhythmias Attenuated by Secretoneurin in Right Ventricular Outflow Tract Cardiomyocytes.

Cardiovasc Toxicol

January 2025

Graduate Institute of Clinical Medicine, College of Medicine, Taipei Medical University, No. 250, Wuxing St., Taipei, 11031, Taiwan.

Ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) are major causes of sudden cardiac death in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. Indoxyl sulfate (IS) is one common uremic toxin found in CKD patients. This study investigated whether IS could induce VAs via increasing right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) arrhythmogenesis.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is tightly linked to mitochondrial dysfunction, calcium (Ca²⁺) imbalance, and oxidative stress. Mitochondrial Ca²⁺ is essential for regulating metabolic enzymes, maintaining the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, supporting the electron transport chain (ETC), and producing ATP. Additionally, Ca²⁺ modulates oxidative balance by regulating antioxidant enzymes and reactive oxygen species (ROS) clearance.

Intracellular Ca homeostasis dysregulation, through the modulation of calcium permeable ion channels and transporters, is gaining attention in cancer research as an apoptosis evasion mechanism. Recently, we highlighted a prognostic role for several calcium permeable channels. Among them, here, we focused on the plasma membrane bidirectional Na/Ca exchanger SLC8A1.

Article Synopsis
  • Current arrhythmia treatments like ion channel blockers and defibrillators have drawbacks, prompting the need for new strategies to manage heart rhythm issues.
  • A promising approach involves monitoring and adjusting specific ion levels, particularly zinc, to prevent or treat arrhythmias due to its significant impact on heart electrical activity.
  • Zinc plays a crucial role by interacting with various ion channels and receptors, influencing oxidative stress, inflammation, and even circadian rhythms, highlighting the necessity of maintaining proper zinc levels in the body for heart health.
