Research Abstract

To clarify whether sympathetic innervation protects myocardial disturbance caused by myocardial ischemeia in rat cardiac myocyte, we evaluated sarcolemmal or mitochondorial K_<ATP> channel currents induced by Pinacidil which is sarcolemmal channel opener, Cyanide which is metabolic inhibitor, and Diazoxide which is mitochondrial K_<ATP> channel opener in next cultured or co-cultured myocytes ; cultured myocytes using 1day old neonatal rat cardiac myocytes which was not sympathetic innervation until 1day old, co-cultured cardiac myocytes with sympathetic ganglion, and denervaed cardiac myocytes. Outward current of K_<ATP> channel was significantly increased after application of Pinacidil in sympathetic innervated myocytes (56.8±5.2^*) compared to those in myocytes (10.8±3.4) and denervated myocytes (9.8±3.1) (p<0.05). Almost same results were obtained by application of Cyanide and Diazoxide. These show that sarcolemmal and mitochondorial K_<ATP> channel currents were increased by sympatheic innervation. Increased K_<ATP> current leads shortening of ventricular myocardial action potential duration and may protect Ca^<2+> overloading in ischemic ventricular myocytes. Thus, sympathetic innervation could be protected myocardial disturbance in ischemic myocardium by activation of sarcolemmal and mitochondrial K_<ATP> channels.
