Thus, the identification of new antiarrhythmic targets is of clinical interest. Recent genome studies suggested an involvement of SCN10A sodium channels (NaV1.8) in atrial electrophysiology. This study investigated the role and involvement of NaV1.8 (SCN10A) in arrhythmia generation in the human atria and in mice lacking NaV1.8. NaV1.8 mRNA and protein were detected in human atrial myocardium at a significant higher level compared to ventricular myocardium. Expression of NaV1.8 and NaV1.5 did not differ between myocardium from patients with atrial fibrillation and sinus rhythm. To determine the electrophysiological role of NaV1.8, we investigated isolated human atrial cardiomyocytes from patients with sinus rhythm stimulated with isoproterenol. Inhibition of NaV1.8 by A-803467 or PF-01247324 showed no effects on the human atrial action potential. However, we found that NaV1.8 significantly contributes to late Na+ current and consequently to an increased proarrhythmogenic diastolic sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ leak in human atrial cardiomyocytes. Selective pharmacological inhibition of NaV1.8 potently reduced late Na+ current, proarrhythmic diastolic Ca2+ release, delayed afterdepolarizations as well as spontaneous action potentials. These findings could be confirmed in murine atrial cardiomyocytes from wild-type mice and also compared to SCN10A−/− mice (genetic ablation of NaV1.8). Pharmacological NaV1.8 inhibition showed no effects in SCN10A−/− mice. Importantly, in vivo experiments in SCN10A−/− mice showed that genetic ablation of NaV1.8 protects against atrial fibrillation induction. This study demonstrates that NaV1.8 is expressed in the murine and human atria and contributes to late Na+ current generation and cellular arrhythmogenesis. Blocking NaV1.8 selectively counteracts this pathomechanism and protects against atrial arrhythmias. Thus, our translational study reveals a new selective therapeutic target for treating atrial arrhythmias."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/s00395-020-0780-8"],["dc.identifier.pmid","32078054"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/70756"],["dc.identifier.url","https://sfb1002.med.uni-goettingen.de/production/literature/publications/349"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI Import GROB-354"],["dc.relation","SFB 1002: Modulatorische Einheiten bei Herzinsuffizienz"],["dc.relation","SFB 1002 | D01: Erholung aus der Herzinsuffizienz – Einfluss von Fibrose und Transkriptionssignatur"],["dc.relation.workinggroup","RG Hasenfuß (Transition zur Herzinsuffizienz)"],["dc.relation.workinggroup","RG L.

Clinical data indicate that the arrhythmic component of AF may contribute to left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. Objective: This study investigates the effects and molecular mechanisms of AF on the human LV. Methods and Results: Ventricular myocardium from patients with aortic stenosis and preserved LV function with sinus rhythm or rate-controlled AF was studied. LV myocardium from patients with sinus rhythm and patients with AF showed no differences in fibrosis. In functional studies, systolic Ca 2+ transient amplitude of LV cardiomyocytes was reduced in patients with AF, while diastolic Ca 2+ levels and Ca 2+ transient kinetics were not statistically different. These results were confirmed in LV cardiomyocytes from nonfailing donors with sinus rhythm or AF. Moreover, normofrequent AF was simulated in vitro using arrhythmic or rhythmic pacing (both at 60 bpm). After 24 hours of AF-simulation, human LV cardiomyocytes from nonfailing donors showed an impaired Ca 2+ transient amplitude. For a standardized investigation of AF-simulation, human iPSC-cardiomyocytes were tested. Seven days of AF-simulation caused reduced systolic Ca 2+ transient amplitude and sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca 2+ load likely because of an increased diastolic sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca 2+ leak. Moreover, cytosolic Na + concentration was elevated and action potential duration was prolonged after AF-simulation. We detected an increased late Na + current as a potential trigger for the detrimentally altered Ca 2+ /Na + -interplay. Mechanistically, reactive oxygen species were higher in the LV of patients with AF. CaMKII (Ca 2+ /calmodulin-dependent protein kinase IIδc) was found to be more oxidized at Met281/282 in the LV of patients with AF leading to an increased CaMKII activity and consequent increased RyR2 phosphorylation. CaMKII inhibition and ROS scavenging ameliorated impaired systolic Ca 2+ handling after AF-simulation. Conclusions: AF causes distinct functional and molecular remodeling of the human LV. This translational study provides the first mechanistic characterization and the potential negative impact of AF in the absence of tachycardia on the human ventricle."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1161/CIRCRESAHA.121.319718"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/106071"],["dc.identifier.url","https://sfb1002.med.uni-goettingen.de/production/literature/publications/438"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI-Import GROB-530"],["dc.relation","SFB 1002: Modulatorische Einheiten bei Herzinsuffizienz"],["dc.relation","SFB 1002 | D01: Erholung aus der Herzinsuffizienz – Einfluss von Fibrose und Transkriptionssignatur"],["dc.relation.eissn","1524-4571"],["dc.relation.issn","0009-7330"],["dc.relation.workinggroup","RG Hasenfuß (Transition zur Herzinsuffizienz)"],["dc.rights","CC BY-NC-ND 4.0"],["dc.title","Effects of Atrial Fibrillation on the Human Ventricle"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Here, we elucidate the role of the sodium channel isoform Na V 1.8 for CaMKIIδc-dependent proarrhythmia. In a CRISPR-Cas9-generated human iPSC-cardiomyocyte homozygous knock-out of Na V 1.8, we demonstrate that Na V 1.8 contributes to I NaL formation. In addition, we reveal a direct interaction between Na V 1.8 and CaMKIIδc in cardiomyocytes isolated from patients with heart failure (HF). Using specific blockers of Na V 1.8 and CaMKIIδc, we show that Na V 1.8-driven I NaL is CaMKIIδc-dependent and that Na V 1.8-inhibtion reduces diastolic SR-Ca 2+ leak in human failing cardiomyocytes. Moreover, increased mortality of CaMKIIδc-overexpressing HF mice is reduced when a Na V 1.8 knock-out is introduced. Cellular and in vivo experiments reveal reduced ventricular arrhythmias without changes in HF progression. Our work therefore identifies a proarrhythmic CaMKIIδc downstream target which may constitute a prognostic and antiarrhythmic strategy."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1038/s41467-021-26690-1"],["dc.identifier.pii","26690"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/94290"],["dc.identifier.url","https://sfb1002.med.uni-goettingen.de/production/literature/publications/412"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI-Import GROB-478"],["dc.relation","SFB 1002: Modulatorische Einheiten bei Herzinsuffizienz"],["dc.relation","SFB 1002 | D01: Erholung aus der Herzinsuffizienz – Einfluss von Fibrose und Transkriptionssignatur"],["dc.relation.eissn","2041-1723"],["dc.relation.workinggroup","RG Hasenfuß (Transition zur Herzinsuffizienz)"],["dc.relation.workinggroup","RG L.

We performed quantitative real-time PCR and western blot and detected a significant up-regulation of NaV1.8 mRNA (2.34fold) and protein expression (1.96-fold) in human hypertrophied myocardium compared with healthy hearts.
