The TASK-1 channel belongs to the two-pore domain potassium channel family. It is expressed in several cells of the heart, including the right atrial (RA) cardiomyocytes and the sinus node, and TASK-1 channel has been implicated in the pathogenesis of atrial arrhythmias (AA). Thus, using the rat model of monocrotaline-induced pulmonary hypertension (MCT-PH), we explored the involvement of TASK-1 in AA. Four-week-old male Wistar rats were injected with 50 mg/kg of MCT to induce MCT-PH and isolated RA function was studied 14 days later. Additionally, isolated RA from six-week-old male Wistar rats were used to explore the ability of ML365, a selective blocker of TASK-1, to modulate RA function. The hearts developed right atrial and ventricular hypertrophy, inflammatory infiltrate and the surface ECG demonstrated increased P wave duration and QT interval, which are markers of MCT-PH. The isolated RA from the MCT animals showed enhanced chronotropism, faster contraction and relaxation kinetics, and a higher sensibility to extracellular acidification. However, the addition of ML365 to extracellular media was not able to restore the phenotype. Using a burst pacing protocol, the RA from MCT animals were more susceptible to develop AA, and simultaneous administration of carbachol and ML365 enhanced AA, suggesting the involvement of TASK-1 in AA induced by MCT. TASK-1 does not play a key role in the chronotropism and inotropism of healthy and diseased RA; however, it may play a role in AA in the MCT-PH model.
