Background: Isorhamnetin (ISO), a natural flavonoid compound, has been shown to have strong antioxidant and antifibrotic effects in vivo and in vitro; however, no report has been shown on the effect of ISO on arrhythmic disorders. This study aimed to investigate the effect of ISO on angiotensin-II (Ag-II) induced atrial fibrillation (AF) in mice. Methods: Wild-type male mice (C57BL/6J, 8 weeks old) were assigned in 3 groups as follows: control group (Cont), Ag-II group treated with Ag-II and Ag-II & ISO group treated with Ag-II and ISO. Ag-II (1000 ng/kg/min) was continuously administered using an implantable osmotic pump for 2 weeks, and ISO (5 mg/kg) was administered intraperitoneally one week before starting Ag-II administration. We performed AF induction and electrophysiologic study via transvenous electrode catheter and Ca2+ imaging with isolated cardiomyocyte. We also assessed the gene expression levels of AF-related molecules, and histological examination of atrial fibrosis. Results: Compared with Cont, AF inducibility was dramatically increased by Ag-II and significantly decreased by ISO. AF duration was also remarkably prolonged by Ag-II and significantly reduced by ISO. Atrial effective refractory period (A-ERP) (BCL=150msec) was reduced by Ag-II and recovered by ISO. Incidences of diastolic intracellular Ca2+ abnormal activities (sarcoplasmic reticulum [SR] Ca2+ leakage) was observed in Ag-II group; however, ISO treatment eliminated these abnormalities. Ag-II induced elevated expression of fibrosis-related molecules (Col1a1, Tgfb1 and Tgfb2) and Ca2+-handling related molecules (Camk2 and Ryr2), those were partially normalized by ISO. Histological examination revealed that cell size and the fibrosis ratio were increased by Ag-II, and significantly attenuated by ISO. Conclusion: These results suggest that ISO prevented against Ag-II induced AF vulnerability through both electrophysiological and structural reverse remodeling.
