Identificación de un nuevo activador de corrientes generadas por canales Kv4.3+KChIP2

Abstract

[ES] Las corrientes de salida de potasio tipo-A, Isa e Ito, responsables de la repolarización de los potenciales de acción neuronal y cardiaco, se generan tras la activación de canales Kv4 ensamblados con KChIP. KChIP2 constituye la isoforma predominante en corazón. Diversas patologías cardiacas, como la hipertrofia, cursan con una disminución de la Ito. Así pues, la búsqueda de nuevos fármacos capaces de aumentar dicha corriente representaría una nueva familia de compuestos útiles en el tratamiento de estas patologías. Hemos estudiado los efectos electrofisiológicos de un nuevo compuesto capaz de unirse a KChIP3, PC266, sobre las corrientes generadas por Kv4.3+KChIP2. Para ello, utilizamos células de la línea celular CHO transfectadas de forma estable con Kv4.3+KChIP2 y registramos la corriente que generan tras su activación utilizando la configuración de célula entera de la técnica patch-clamp. PC266 produjo un efecto dual sobre los canales Kv4.3+KChIP2: i) disminuye la magnitud de la corriente máxima y ii) aumenta (a ciertas concentraciones) la carga durante la aplicación de pulsos despolarizantes a +60 mV, debido a sus efectos sobre la cinética de inactivación de la corriente. Los efectos del PC266 sobre los canales Kv4.3+KChIP2 resultaron ser tiempo-, voltaje- y uso-dependientes, consistentes con la unión del compuesto de forma preferente a un estado cerrado del canal.

[EN] Outward potassium currents type-A, Ito and Isa, responsible for the repolarization of neuronal and cardiac action potentials, are generated by the activation of Kv4 channels assembled with KChIPs. KChIP2 constitutes the predominant isoform in the heart. Several cardiac pathologies, such as hypertrophy, exhibit a decrease in the Ito magnitude. Thus, the search for new compounds capable of increasing this current would represent a new family of compounds useful in the treatment of such cardiac pathologies. In the present study we have analyzed the electrophysiological effects of a new compound capable of binding to KChIP3, PC266, on the currents generated by Kv4.3+KChIP2. To do this, we used a CHO cell line stably transfected with Kv4.3+KChIP2 and we recorded the current generated by the activation of these channels by using the whole-cell configuration of the patch-clamp technique. PC266 produced a dual effect on the Kv4.3+KChIP2 channels: i) it decreases the magnitude of the maximum peak current and ii) increases (at certain concentrations) the charge during the application of depolarizing pulses to +60 mV, due to its effects on the kinetics of inactivation of the current. The effects of PC266 on the Kv4.3+KChIP2 channels were found to be time-, voltage- and use-dependent, consistent with the binding of the drug to a closed state of the channel.
