Calcium mobilization in vitro, cardiomyocyte ROS generation, and LDH leakage after exposure to SiNPs in vitro and in vivo were measured using a microplate reader. Surface electrocardiograms were recorded in adult mice to evaluate the arrhythmogenic effects of SiNPs in vivo. SiNP endocytosis was observed using transmission electron microscopy.Results: Within 30 min, both SiNPs (10− 8– 10− 6 g/mL) did not affect the resting potential and IK1 channels. SiNP-100 increased the action potential amplitude (APA) and the INa current density, but SiNP-20 decreased APA and INa density. SiNP-100 prolonged the action potential duration (APD) and decreased the Ito current density, while SiNP-20 prolonged or shortened the APD, depending on exposure concentrations and increased Ito density. Both SiNPs (10− 6 g/mL) induced calcium mobilization but did not increase ROS and LDH levels and were not endocytosed within 10 min in cardiomyocytes in vitro. In vivo, SiNP-100 (4– 10 mg/kg) and SiNP-20 (4– 30 mg/kg) did not elevate myocardial ROS but increased LDH levels depending on dose and exposure time. The same higher dose of SiNPs (intravenously injected) induced tachyarrhythmias and lethal bradyarrhythmias within 90 min in adult mice.Conclusion: SiNPs (i) exert rapid toxic effects on the TMPs of cardiomyocytes in vitro largely owing to their direct interfering effects on the INa and Ito channels and Ca2+ homeostasis but not IK1 channels and ROS levels, and (ii) induce tachyarrhythmias and lethal bradyarrhythmias in vivo. SiNP-100 is more toxic than SiNP-20 on cardiac electrophysiology, and the toxicity mechanism is likely more complicated in vivo.Keywords: silica nanoparticle, cardiac electrophysiology, transmembrane potential, ion channel, nanotoxicology |
