| Abstract | Hyperpolarization-activated current (If) is the major ionic current contributing to the spontaneous diastolic depolarization of cardiac sinus node pacemaker cells. It is mediated by hyperpolarization-activated and cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) channels. However, several observations support a potential role of HCN channels in the arrhythmogenesis of working myocardium under pathological conditions. Spironolactone, a classic aldosterone blocker, has been proved to prevent spontaneous ventricular arrhythmias after myocardial infarction (MI). Here, we examined the effect of spironolactone on the expression of HCN channels and ventricular premature beats (VPBs) using a rat MI model. Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into a sham-operated group and MI groups treated with intragastric administration of saline or spironolactone (80 µg/kg/day) for 7 days immediately after ligation of the left coronary artery. Compared to the sham group, HCN2 and HCN4 protein levels were increased in MI rats. Treatment with spironolactone prevented the MI-induced increase of HCN4 protein levels (1.47 ± 0.16 vs. 1.81 ± 0.21, P<0.05). MI rats exhibited a marked increase of VPBs compared to the sham group (104 ± 17 vs. 3 ± 1 VPBs/h, P < 0.05). This the increase was reduced by spironolactone (55 ± 14 vs. 104 ± 17 VPBs/h, P < 0.05). Moreover, If current inhibitor (ivabradine, 0.5 mg/kg) further decreased the occurrence of VPBs in the control and spironolactone groups to the same level (54 ± 13 vs. 49 ± 8 VPBs/h, P > 0.05). In conclusion, spironolactone may prevent ischemia-induced VPBs by reducing HCN4 protein expression to basal levels. |

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.
