Recurrent episodes of weakness in periodic paralysis are caused by intermittent loss of muscle fibre excitability, as a consequence of sustained depolarization of the resting potential. Repolarization is favoured by increasing the fibre permeability to potassium. Based on this principle, we tested the efficacy of retigabine, a potassium channel opener, to suppress the loss of force induced by a low-K+ challenge in hypokalaemic periodic paralysis (HypoPP). Retigabine can prevent the episodic loss of force in HypoPP. Knock-in mutant mouse models of HypoPP (Cacna1s p.R528H and Scn4a p.R669H) were used to determine whether pre-treatment with retigabine prevented the loss of force, or post-treatment hastened recovery of force for a low-K+ challenge in an ex vivo contraction assay. Retigabine completely prevents the loss of force induced by a 2 mM K+ challenge (protection) in our mouse models of HypoPP, with 50% inhibitory concentrations of 0.8 ± 0.13 μM and 2.2 ± 0.42 μM for NaV1.4-R669H and CaV1.1-R528H, respectively. In comparison, the effective concentration for the KATP channel opener pinacidil was 10-fold higher. Application of retigabine also reversed the loss of force (rescue) for HypoPP muscle maintained in 2 mM K+. Our findings show that retigabine, a selective agonist of the KV7 family of potassium channels, is effective for the prevention of low-K+ induced attacks of weakness and to enhance recovery from an ongoing loss of force in mouse models of type 1 (Cacna1s) and type 2 (Scn4a) HypoPP. Substantial protection from the loss of force occurred in the low micromolar range, well within the therapeutic window for retigabine. Quiñonez et al. show that the potassium channel opener retigabine can both protect muscle from a loss of force and hasten recovery from an ongoing loss of force in a mouse model of hypokalaemic periodic paralysis.
