- Abstract
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia, yet the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the AF substrate remain unclear. Isolevuglandins (IsoLGs) are highly reactive lipid dicarbonyl products that mediate oxidative stress-related injury. In murine hypertension, the lipid dicarbonyl scavenger 2-hydroxybenzylamine (2-HOBA) reduced IsoLGs and AF susceptibility. We hypothesized that IsoLGs mediate detrimental pathophysiologic effects in atrial cardiomyocytes that promote the AF substrate. Using Seahorse XFp extracellular flux analysis and a luminescence assay, IsoLG exposure suppressed intracellular ATP production in atrial HL-1 cardiomyocytes. IsoLGs caused mitochondrial dysfunction, with reduced mitochondrial membrane potential, increased mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) with protein carbonylation, and mitochondrial DNA damage. Moreover, they generated cytosolic preamyloid oligomers previously shown to cause similar detrimental effects in atrial cells. In mouse atrial and HL-1 cells, patch clamp experiments demonstrated that IsoLGs rapidly altered action potentials (AP), implying a direct effect independent of oligomer formation by reducing the maximum Phase 0 upstroke slope and shortening AP duration due to ionic current modifications. IsoLG-mediated mitochondrial and electrophysiologic abnormalities were blunted or totally prevented by 2-HOBA. These findings identify IsoLGs as novel mediators of oxidative stress-dependent atrial pathophysiology and support the investigation of dicarbonyl scavengers as a novel therapeutic approach to prevent AF.
