Abstract:
Objective To investigate the regulation and possible mechanism of H
2O
2 on the inward current of Na
+/Ca
2+-exchanger(NCX). Methods The NCX1.1 plasmid was transfected into human embryonic kidney cells(HEK293 cell) by green fluorescent protein labeling expression system. The whole cell patch clamp technique was used to record NCX current, and the concentration-dependent effect of H
2O
2 on the current and Ⅰ-Ⅴ curve of NCX1.1 were recorded. A total of 120 positive HEK293 cells were selected and divided into control group, H
2O
2 treatment group, pertussis toxin(Gi protein inhibitor) and H
2O
2 treatment group. inhibitor H89(protein kinase A) and H
2O
2 treatment. Analysis of I
NCX before and after treatment. Western-blot assay was used to detect the changes of NCX1.1 protein level in H
2O
2 and HEK293 cell group, PTX+H
2O
2 and HEK293 cell group, H89+ H
2O
2 and HEK293 cell group after 24 h culture. Results H
2O
2increased the inward current of I
NCX from(-6.22±0.53) to(-12.92±1.12) pA/pF(n=60, t=2.54, P<0.01, and the inward current of NCX1.1 was increased in a concentration-dependent manner by extracellular perfusion with different concentrations of H
2O
2. The results of inverted ramp stimulation mode showed that the effect of H
2O
2 on the inward current of NCX1.1 was voltage dependent. The selective inhibitor of Gi protein PTX was added, and PTX was found to reverse the increase effect of H

2+PTX:(-6.76±0.60)pA/pF, n=60, t=3.61, P<0.001. The PKA inhibitor H89 also reversed the increase effect of H

2O
2+H89:(-7.22±1.60)pA/pF, n=60, t=4.17, P<0.005. In addition, the expression of NCX1.1 protein in HEK293 cells was increased after 24h culture with H
2O
2. However, PTX and H89 can reverse the increasing effect of H
2O
2 on the expression of NCX1.1 protein. Conclusion H
2O
2 stimulation can increase the inward current of NCX1.1, and this process is mediated by the Gi-cAMP-PKA signaling pathway.
