AbstractBACKGROUND: [corrected] Aprikalim, an adenosine triphosphate (ATP) sensitive K+ (K(ATP)) channel opener, attenuates the elevation of intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) and improves the contractile functions after hyperkalemic and hypothermic cardioplegia. There is evidence that cardioplegia increases the Na+-Ca2+ exchange activity without affecting Ca2+ influx through L-type Ca2+ channels or Ca2+ content in the sarcoplasmic reticulum, the intracellular Ca2+ store. METHODS: We measured the Na+-Ca2+ exchange outward current with the patch-clamp technique in single rat ventricular myocytes exposed to hyperkalemia and hypothermia in the presence of aprikalim. The intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) during cardioplegia, and the contractile function and [Ca2+]i transients induced by electrical stimulation or caffeine during rewarming and reperfusion in single ventricular myocytes were also determined. Contraction and [Ca2+]i were determined with video tracking and spectrofluorometry, respectively. RESULTS: Aprikalim, 100 micromol/L, the effect of which was blocked by glibamclamide, a K(ATP) inhibitor, significantly attenuated the hyperkalemia-elevated Na+-Ca2+ exchange current by 26% and 11% at 22 degrees C and 4 degrees C, respectively. Aprikalim also attenuated significantly the [Ca2+]i elevated during cardioplegia. Furthermore aprikalim significantly attenuated the reduction in amplitude and prolongation in duration of contraction of myocytes after cardioplegia. The effects of aprikalim mimicked those of nickle (Ni2+), a Na+-Ca2+ exchange blocker. The electrically or caffeine-induced [Ca2+]i transients were unaltered by cardioplegia or aprikalim. CONCLUSIONS: Aprikalim attenuates the Na+-Ca2+ exchange outward current elevated by hyperkalemia, which may attenuate the [Ca2+]i elevation during hyperkalemia and improve the contractile function after cardioplegia in the ventricular myocyte. The study provides further support that addition of a K(ATP) channel opener to the cardioplegic solution may produce beneficial effects in open heart surgery.
