Our previous investigation indicated that angiotensin II (Ang II) enhances the expression of Kv1.5, a promising target for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF), by activating reactive oxygen species (ROS)-dependent phosphorylation of Smad 2/3 (forming P-Smad 2/3) and ERK 1/2 (forming P-ERK 1/2). A recent study indicated that aldosterone (Aldo) upregulates atrial Kv1.5 protein in a rat AF model, but the mechanism remains unknown. The present study aimed to clarify the mechanism underlying Aldo-induced Kv1.5 expression and to test whether spironolactone may modulate atrial Kv1.5. Our Western blot analysis indicated that the Aldo/mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) interacts with Ang II/AT(1)R in upregulating Kv1.5 expression in cultured neonatal atrial myocytes (NRAMs). Blockade of MR with spironolactone and of AT(1)R with losartan significantly suppressed Kv1.5 expression induction by combined Aldo and Ang II treatment. Aldo increased the protein expression of Noxl, Nox2 and Nox4, but this effect was abolished by spironolactone pretreatment. The Aldo-induced upregulation of Kv1.5 was also reversed by the Src protein tyrosine kinase family inhibitor PP2, the Nox2 inhibitor gp9lds-tat and the Noxl /Nox4 inhibitor GKT137831 but not by the Rac GTPase inhibitor NSC23766. Flow cytometry showed that the Aldo-induced ROS production was inhibited by spironolactone, PP2, gp9lds-tat and GKT137831. Spironolactone suppressed the Aldo-induced protein expression phosphorylated Src (P-Src), P-Smad 2/3 and P-ERK 1/2. In conclusion, we have demonstrated that spironolactone suppresses Aldo-induced Kv1.5 expression by attenuating MR-Nox1/2/4-mediated ROS generation in NRAMs. (C) 2019 Elsevier Inc.
