Acute inflammation often contributes to the increased arrhythmogenesis in the cardiomyocytes. We investigated the protective effects of pravastatin on calcium disorders induced by acute administration of pro-inflammatory cytokines in isolated ventricular myocytes and its underlying mechanisms. Wild-type mice were intraperitoneally injected for five days with either pravastatin 20 mg/kg per day or an equal volume of normal saline. Cytosol Ca2+handling was studied in freshly isolated ventricular myocytes after acute exposure of interleukin-6 (IL-6) (1 ng/ml) for 120 min by Ionoptix and confocal microscopy. Acute administration of clinically relevant concentrations of IL-6 disturbed calcium handling in ventricular myocytes, which presented as decreased amplitudes, prolonged decay times of Ca2+transients, and reduced sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) calcium stores. The frequency of spontaneous Ca2+release, including calcium sparks and spontaneous calcium waves, was dramatically enhanced in the setting of IL-6. Notably, the pretreatment of pravastatin alleviated disturbed Ca2+cycling, reduced spontaneous Ca2+leakage induced by IL-6. Mitochondrial ROS pathway may constitute the underlying mechanism of the protective effects of pravastatin. Pravastatin protected the cardiomyocytes against calcium disorders induced by IL-6 via the mitochondrial ROS pathway, which suggests that pravastatin may represent a promising auxiliary therapeutic strategy for cardiac injury under acute inflammation.
