JTV-519 is a 1,4-benzothiazepine derivative with multichannel effects that inhibits Ca release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum and stabilizes the closed state of the ryanodine receptor, preventing myocardial damage and the induction of arrhythmias during Ca overload. Mechanical stretch increases cellular Na inflow, activates the reverse mode of the Na /Ca exchanger, and modifies Ca handling and myocardial electrophysiology, favoring arrhythmogenesis. This study aims to determine whether JTV-519 modifies the stretch-induced manifestations of mechanoelectric feedback. The ventricular fibrillation (VF) modifications induced by acute stretch were studied in Langendorff-perfused rabbit hearts using epicardial multiple electrodes under control conditions (n=9) or during JTV-519 perfusion: 0.1 μmol/L (n=9) and 1 μmol/L (n=9). Spectral and mapping techniques were used to establish the baseline, stretch and post-stretch VF characteristics. JTV-519 slowed baseline VF and decreased activation complexity. These effects were dose-dependent (baseline VF dominant frequency: control=13.9±2.2 Hz; JTV 0.1 μmol/L=11.1±1.1 Hz, P<.01; JTV 1 μmol/L=6.6±1.1 Hz, P<.0001). The stretch-induced acceleration of VF (control=38.8%) was significantly reduced by JTV-519 0.1 μmol/L (19.8%) and abolished by JTV 1 μmol/L (-1.5%). During stretch, the VF activation complexity index was reduced in both JTV-519 series (control=1.60±0.15; JTV 0.1 μmol/L=1.13±0.3, P<.0001; JTV 1 μmol/L=0.57±0.21, P<.0001), and was independently related to VF dominant frequency (R=.82; P<.0001). The fifth percentile of the VF activation intervals, conduction velocity and wavelength entered the multiple linear regression model using dominant frequency as the dependent variable (R=-.84; P<.0001). In conclusion, JTV-519 slowed and simplified the baseline VF activation patterns and abolished the stretch-induced manifestations of mechanoelectric feedback.

Atrial fibrosis is one of the main manifestations of atrial cardiomyopathy, an array of electrical, mechanical and structural alterations associated with atrial fibrillation (AF), stroke and heart failure. Atrial fibrosis can be both a cause and a consequence of AF and, once present, it accelerates the progression of AF. The pathophysiological mechanisms leading to atrial fibrosis are diverse and include stretch-induced activation of fibroblasts, systemic inflammatory processes, activation of coagulation factors and fibrofatty infiltrations.

Ventilator-induced lung injury is a serious complication in mechanically ventilated patients. Neddylation, the post-translational modification of neural precursor cell-expressed developmentally down-regulated 8 (NEDD8) conjugation, regulates numerous biological functions. However, its involvement and therapeutic significance in ventilator-induced lung injury remains unknown.

Cardiomyocyte cultures exhibit spontaneous electrical and contractile activity, as in a natural cardiac pacemaker. In such preparations, beat rate variability exhibits features similar to those of heart rate variability in vivo. Mechanical deformations and forces feed back on the electrical properties of cardiomyocytes, but it is not fully elucidated how this mechano-electrical interplay affects beating variability in such preparations.

Myotubes are mature muscle cells that form the basic structural element of skeletal muscle. When stretching skeletal muscles, myotubes are subjected to passive tension as well. This lead to alterations in myotube cytophysiology, which could be related with muscular biomechanics.
