The cardiac ventricular action potential depends on several voltage-gated ion channels, including NaV, CaV, and KV channels. Mutations in these channels can cause Long QT Syndrome (LQTS) which increases the risk for ventricular fibrillation and sudden cardiac death. Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) have emerged as potential therapeutics for LQTS because they are modulators of voltage-gated ion channels. Here we demonstrate that PUFA analogues vary in their selectivity for human voltage-gated ion channels involved in the ventricular action potential. The effects of specific PUFA analogues range from selective for a specific ion channel to broadly modulating cardiac ion channels from all three families (NaV, CaV, and KV). In addition, a PUFA analogue selective for the cardiac IKs channel (Kv7.1/KCNE1) is effective in shortening the cardiac action potential in human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes. Our data suggest that PUFA analogues could potentially be developed as therapeutics for LQTS and cardiac arrhythmia.

Figure 1- PUFA analogue, Linoleoyl-taurine, activates Kv7.1/KCNE1 channels through an electrostatic mechanism on voltage sensor and pore. (A) Simplified membrane topology of a single Kv7.1 α-subunit (blue) and a single KCNE1 β-subunit (grey). (B) Voltage protocol used to measure voltage dependence of activation and representative Kv7.1/KCNE1 current traces in control (0 μM) and 20 μM Lin-taurine. Arrows mark tail currents. (C) Current-voltage relationship demonstrating PUFA analogue-induced left-shift in the voltage-dependence of activation (V0.5) and increase in maximal conductance (Gmax) (mean ± SEM; n = 3). (D) Model in which PUFA analogues with their negatively charged head groups insert in the cell membrane close to the positively charged arginines in the voltage sensor S4 and close to a positively charged lysine in the pore. The PUFA thereby exerts an electrostatic effect on the voltage sensor to shift the voltage dependence of activation and an electrostatic effect on the pore to increase the maximum conductance (Liin et al., 2018a). |
