Abstract:Objective To observe the effect of triiodothyronine (T3) on abnormal calcium channels in ventricular myocytes of hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) lactating mice and the role of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway in it. Methods Isolation of ventricular myocytes from neonatal mice and establishment of cell H/R model were carried out. Normal control (Control) group, H/R group, T3+H/R group, T3+H/R+LY294002 (LY) group and H/R+LY group were set up. Patch clamp technique was used to observe the changes of L-type calcium channel current (ICaL) and Western blot was used to detect the expression of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway in cardiomyocytes. Results Compared with control group, the peak current of ICaL in H/R group decreased (P < 0.01) and I-V curve moved up. Compared with H/R group, ICaL peak current increased in T3+H/R group (P < 0.01), and decreased in H/R+LY group (P < 0.01). Compared with T3+H/R group, ICaL peak current decreased in T3+H/R+LY group (P < 0.01). Compared with control group, V1/2 in H/R group decreased significantly (P < 0.05), inactivation curve shifted to the right and inactivation slowed down. Compared with H/R group, V1/2 of T3+H/R group increased (P < 0.05), the inactivation curve moved left, and the inactivation accelerated. Compared with control group, V1/2 of H/R group increased (P < 0.05), the activation curve moved left, and the activation accelerated. Compared with H/R group, V1/2 of T3+H/R group decreased (P < 0.05), the activation curve moved right and the activation slowed down. Compared with control group, the expression of P-PI3K and P-Akt decreased in H/R group (P < 0.01). Compared with H/R group, the expression of P-PI3K and P-Akt in myocardial cells of T3+H/R group increased (P < 0.01), while the expression of P-PI3K and P-Akt in myocardial cells of H/R+LY group decreased (P < 0.01). Compared with T3+H/R group, the expression of P-PI3K and P-Akt in myocardial cells of T3+H/R+LY group decreased (P < 0.01). Conclusion ICaL current decreases when cardiomyocyte H/R, affecting excitation and contraction of cardiomyocyte. T3 can protect L-type calcium channel by activating PI3K/Akt signaling pathway and reduce the decrease of channel current, thus exerting its cardioprotective effect.
