AIM: To determine whether chronic hypercholesterolemia affects ionic currents on cardiac ventricular myocytes of rats. METHODS: Whole - cell patch - clamp technique was used to record the ionic currents in single cardiac myocytes isolated from normal cholesterolemia and hypercholesterolemia rats. RESULTS: In the hypercholesterol group (group Ⅱ ), serum total - cholesterol level was significantly higher than that of normal group (group Ⅰ) [ (3. 10 ±tricular myocytes of rats, 50% repolarization of action potential duration (APD50) prolonged from (70. 86 ± 8.12) ms (group Ⅰ) to (116.16±6.90)ms (group Ⅱ) (n=10 in each group, P＜0.01); APD90 prolonged from (95.10±7. 27)ms (group Ⅰ ) to (144. 04 ± 7.39)ms (group Ⅱ ) (n = 10 in each group, P ＜ 0. 01 ); at the test potential of - 120 mV, Ik1 increased from ( - 16. 98 ±4. 54) pA/pF(group Ⅰ ) to ( - 19.92 ±4.08) pA/pF (group Ⅱ ) (n = 12 in each group, P ＜ 0. 05 ); at the test potential of 0 mV, ICa- L decreased from ( - 8.56 ± 1.29) pA/pF ( group Ⅰ ) to ( -5. 24 ± 0. 90) pA/pF ( group Ⅱ ) ( n = 10 in each group, P ＜ 0. 01 ); at the test potential of + 60 mV, Ito decreased from (13.20±1.97) pA/pF (group Ⅰ) to (10.30±1.97) pA/pF (group Ⅱ) (n=8 in each group, P＜0. 05). CON-CLUSION: Hypercholesterolemia affects the ionic currents on cardiomyocytes of rats greatly, which may be the ionic mechanism of cardiac toxicity induced by hypercholesterolemia.%目的:观察高胆固醇血症对大鼠心室肌细胞离子电流的作用.方法:通过全细胞膜片钳技术记录用酶解法分离的正常和高胆固醇饮食的大鼠心室肌细胞离子电流.结果:高胆固醇组(组Ⅱ)血清总胆固醇水平明显高于正常组(组Ⅰ)[(3.10±0.62)mmol·L-1vs(1.18±0.37)mmol·L-1,P＜0.01,n=20].组Ⅱ血清甘油三酯也明显高于组Ⅰ[(1.51±0.30)mmol·L-1vs(0.43±0.15)mmol·L-1,P＜0.01,n=20].组Ⅱ大鼠心室肌细胞动作电位时程(APD)与组Ⅰ相比明显延长,APD50从(70.86±8.12)ms延长至(116.16±6.90)ms(n=10,P＜0.01);APD90从(95.10±7.27)ms延长至(144.04±7.39)ms(n=10,P＜0.01);在实验电压-120 mV,Ik1从(-16.98±4.54)pA/pF(组Ⅰ)增加到(-19.92±4.08)pA/pF(组Ⅱ)(n=12,P＜0.05);在实验电压0 mV,Ica-L从(-8.56±1.29)pA/pF(组Ⅰ)减少到(-5.24±0.90)pA/pF(组Ⅱ)(n=10,P＜0.01);在实验电压+60 mV,Ito从(13.20±1.97)pA/pF(组Ⅰ)减少到(10.30±1.97)pA/pF(组Ⅱ)(n=8,P＜0.05).结论:高胆固醇血症可显著改变心肌细胞离子电流密度的大小,对心脏具有毒性作用.
