| Abstract | Aim: Atazanavir (ATV) is a HIV-1 protease inhibitor for the treatment of AIDS patients, which is recently reported to provoke excessive prolongation of the QT interval and torsades de pointes (TdP). In order to elucidate its arrhythmogenic mechanisms, we investigated the effects of ATV on the hERG $K^{+}$ channels expressed in HEK293 cells. Methods: hERG $K^{+}$ currents were detected using whole-cell patch clamp recording in HEK293 cells transfected with EGFP-hERG plasmids. The expression of hERG protein was measured with Western blotting. Two mutants (Y652A and F656C) were constructed in the S6 domain within the inner helices of hERG $K^{+}$ channels that were responsible for binding of various drugs. The trafficking of hERG protein was studied with confocal microscopy. Results: Application of ATV (0.01–30 μmol/L) concentration-dependently decreased hERG $K^{+}$ currents with an $IC_{50}$ of 5.7±1.8 μmol/L. ATV (10 μmol/L) did not affect the activation and steady-state inactivation of hERG $K^{+}$ currents. Compared with the wild type hERG $K^{+}$ channels, both Y652A and F656C mutants significantly reduced the inhibition of ATV on hERG $K^{+}$ currents. Overnight treatment with ATV (0.1–30 μmol/L) concentration-dependently reduced the amount of fully glycosylated 155 kDa hERG protein without significantly affecting the core-glycosylated 135 kDa hERG protein in the cells expressing the WT-hERG protein. Confocal microscopy studies confirmed that overnight treatment with ATV obstructed the trafficking of hERG protein to the cell membrane. Conclusion: ATV directly blocks hERG $K^{+}$ channels via binding to the residues Y652 and F656 in the S6 domain, and indirectly obstructs the transport of the hERG protein to the cell membrane. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
