Hydrogen sulphide is an inhibitor of L-type calcium channels and mechanical contraction in rat cardiomyocytes.

Abstract:

AIMS:Hydrogen sulphide (H(2)S) is an endogenously generated gaseous transmitter that has recently been suggested to regulate cardiovascular functions. To date, there is no direct evidence for a potential role of H(2)S in regulating calcium channels in the heart. The present study aims to examine the hypothesis that H(2)S is a novel inhibitor of the L-type calcium channel current (I(Ca,L)). METHODS AND RESULTS:Electrophysiological measurements were performed in cardiomyocytes isolated from Wistar-Kyoto and spontaneously hypertensive rats. Bath application of 100 microM NaHS (a H(2)S donor) significantly reduced the time required for the repolarization of the action potential. Inhibition of the peak I(Ca,L) by NaHS was determined to be concentration-dependent (25, 50, 100, 200, and 400 microM). NaHS inhibited the recovery from depolarization-induced inactivation. Electric field-induced [Ca(2+)]i transients and contraction of single cardiomyocytes and isolated papillary muscles were reduced by NaHS treatment. In contrast, caffeine induced an increase in [Ca(2+)]i that was not altered by NaHS. NaHS had no effect on the K(ATP) current or on the levels of cAMP and cGMP in the current study. CONCLUSION:H(2)S is a novel inhibitor of L-type calcium channels in cardiomyocytes. Moreover, H(2)S-induced inhibition of [Ca(2+)]i appears to be a secondary effect owing to its initial action towards I(Ca,L). The inhibitory effect of H(2)S on I(Ca,L) requires further investigation, particularly in the exploration of new pathways involved in cardiac calcium homeostasis and disease pathology.
