AimsThe lymphocyte adaptor protein (LNK) is a negative regulator of cytokine and growth factor signalling. The rs3184504 variant inSH2B3reduces LNK function and is linked to cardiovascular, inflammatory, and haematologic disorders, including stroke. In mice, deletion of Lnk causes inflammation and oxidative stress. We hypothesized thatLnk−/−mice are susceptible to atrial fibrillation (AF) and that rs3184504 is associated with AF and AF-related stroke in humans. During inflammation, reactive lipid dicarbonyls are the major components of oxidative injury, and we further hypothesized that these mediators are critical drivers of the AF substrate inLnk−/−mice.Methods and resultsLnk−/−or wild-type (WT) mice were treated with vehicle or 2-hydroxybenzylamine (2-HOBA), a dicarbonyl scavenger, for 3 months. Compared with WT,Lnk−/−mice displayed increased AF duration that was prevented by 2-HOBA. In theLnk−/−atria, action potentials were prolonged with reduced transient outward K+current, increased late Na+current, and reduced peak Na+current, pro-arrhythmic effects that were inhibited by 2-HOBA. Mitochondrial dysfunction, especially for Complex I, was evident inLnk−/−atria, while scavenging lipid dicarbonyls prevented this abnormality. Tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) were elevated inLnk−/−plasma and atrial tissue, respectively, both of which caused electrical and bioenergetic remodellingin vitro. Inhibition of soluble TNF-α prevented electrical remodelling and AF susceptibility, while IL-1β inhibition improved mitochondrial respiration but had no effect on AF susceptibility. In a large database of genotyped patients, rs3184504 was associated with AF, as well as AF-related stroke.ConclusionThese findings identify a novel role for LNK in the pathophysiology of AF in both experimental mice and humans. Moreover, reactive lipid dicarbonyls are critical to the inflammatory AF substrate inLnk−/−mice and mediate the pro-arrhythmic effects of pro-inflammatory cytokines, primarily through electrical remodelling.
