Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with increased arrhythmia. Type 2 DM (T2DM) mice showed prolonged QT interval and increased ventricular arrhythmic inducibility, accompanied by elevated cardiac interleukin (IL)-1β, increased mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mitoROS), and oxidation of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ release channel (ryanodine receptor 2 [RyR2]). Inhibiting IL-1β and mitoROS reduced RyR2 oxidation and the ventricular arrhythmia in DM. Inhibiting SR Ca2+ leak by stabilizing the oxidized RyR2 channel reversed the diabetic arrhythmic risk. In conclusion, cardiac IL-1β mediated the DM-associated arrhythmia through mitoROS generation that enhances SR Ca2+ leak. The mechanistic link between inflammation and arrhythmias provides new therapeutic options.
