چکیده

Objective(s): Quercetin is a plant flavonoid known for its pharmacological activities, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer properties. However, there is limited information available regarding its potential toxicities. A previous study showed that quercetin can inhibit human ether-a-go-related gene (hERG, also named KCNH۲) currents, which may lead to long QT syndrome, torsade de pointes (TdP), and even sudden cardiac death. This study aimed to investigate the effects of quercetin on hERG and its potential mechanism.Materials and Methods: hERG currents and action potential duration (APD) were assessed using the patch clamp technique. Molecular docking was employed to elucidate the binding sites between quercetin and hERG. Transfection of wild-type or mutant plasmids was used to verify the results of molecular docking. Western blot was performed to determine the expression levels of hERG, transcription factor SP۱, molecular chaperones HSP۷۰ and HSP۹۰, phosphorylated E۳ ubiquitin ligase p-Nedd۴-۲, serum- and glucocorticoid-inducible kinase (SGK۱), and phosphatidylinositol ۳-kinase (PI۳K). Immunoprecipitation was conducted to evaluate hERG ubiquitination.Results: Quercetin acutely blocked hERG current by binding to F۶۵۶ amino acid residue, subsequently accelerating channel inactivation. Long-term incubation of quercetin accelerates Nedd۴-۲-mediated ubiquitination degradation of hERG channels by inhibiting the PI۳K/SGK۱ signaling pathway. Moreover, the APD of human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPS-CMs) is significantly prolonged by ۳۰ μM quercetin.Conclusion: Quercetin has a potential risk of proarrhythmia, which provided useful information for the usage and development of quercetin as a medication.
