ABSTRACT
Atrial fibrillation (AF) emerges as a critical complication following acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and is associated with a significant increased risk of heart failure, stroke and mortality. Ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM), a key player in DNA damage repair (DDR), has been implicated in multiple cardiovascular conditions, however, its involvement in the development of AF following AMI remains unexplored. This study seeks to clarify the contribution of the ATM/p53 pathway in the onset of AF post-AMI and to investigate the underlying mechanisms. The rat model of AMI was established by ligating left anterior descending coronary artery in the presence or absence of Ku55933 (an ATM kinase inhibitor, 5 mg/kg/d) treatment. Rats receiving Ku55933 were further divided into the early administration group (administered on days 1, 2, 4, and 7 post-AMI) and the late administration group (administered on days 8, 9, 11 and 14 post-AMI). RNA-sequencing was performed 14 days post-operation. In vitro, H2O2-challenged HL-1 atrial muscle cells were utilized to evaluate the potential effects of different ATM inhibition schemes, including earlier, middle, and late periods of intervention. Fourteen days post-AMI injury, the animals exhibited significantly increased AF inducibility, exacerbated atrial electrical/structural remodeling, reduced ventricular function and exacerbated atrial DNA damage, as evidenced by enhanced ATM/p53 signaling as well as γH2AX level. These effects were partially consistent with the enrichment results of bioinformatics analysis. Notably, the deleterious effects were ameliorated by early, but not late, administration of Ku55933. Mechanistically, inhibition of ATM signaling successfully suppressed atrial NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated pyroptotic pathway. Additionally, the results were validated in the in vitro experiments demonstrating that early inhibition of Ku55933 not only attenuated cellular ATM/p53 signaling, but also mitigated inflammatory response by reducing NLRP3 activation. Collectively, hyperactivation of ATM/p53 contributed to the pathogenesis of AF following AMI. Early intervention with ATM inhibitors substantially mitigated AF susceptibility and atrial electrical/structural remodeling, highlighting a novel therapeutic avenue against cardiac arrhythmia following AMI.
