Tetrodotoxin-Sensitive Neuronal-Type Na Channels: A Novel and Druggable Target for Prevention of Atrial Fibrillation. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • * The study examined two models of Ca-related heart disorders and found that sodium channels interact closely with calcium release mechanisms, indicating a role in triggering AF.
  • * In patient cohorts, those treated with the Na channel blocker riluzole showed significantly fewer arrhythmias, suggesting that inhibiting sodium channels could be a promising strategy to prevent AF across various conditions.

Article Abstract

Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a comorbidity associated with heart failure and catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia. Despite the Ca-dependent nature of both of these pathologies, AF often responds to Na channel blockers. We investigated how targeting interdependent Na/Ca dysregulation might prevent focal activity and control AF. Methods and Results We studied AF in 2 models of Ca-dependent disorders, a murine model of catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia and a canine model of chronic tachypacing-induced heart failure. Imaging studies revealed close association of neuronal-type Na channels (nNa) with ryanodine receptors and Na/Ca exchanger. Catecholamine stimulation induced cellular and in vivo atrial arrhythmias in wild-type mice only during pharmacological augmentation of nNa activity. In contrast, catecholamine stimulation alone was sufficient to elicit atrial arrhythmias in catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia mice and failing canine atria. Importantly, these were abolished by acute nNa inhibition (tetrodotoxin or riluzole) implicating Na/Ca dysregulation in AF. These findings were then tested in 2 nonrandomized retrospective cohorts: an amyotrophic lateral sclerosis clinic and an academic medical center. Riluzole-treated patients adjusted for baseline characteristics evidenced significantly lower incidence of arrhythmias including new-onset AF, supporting the preclinical results. Conclusions These data suggest that nNas mediate Na-Ca crosstalk within nanodomains containing Ca release machinery and, thereby, contribute to AF triggers. Disruption of this mechanism by nNa inhibition can effectively prevent AF arising from diverse causes.
