Abstract

Mast cells (MCs) are important intermediates between the nervous and immune systems. The cardiac autonomic nervous system (CANS) crucially modulates cardiac electrophysiology and arrhythmogenesis, but whether and how MC-CANS neuroimmune interaction influences arrhythmia remain unclear. Our clinical data showed a close relationship between serum levels of MC markers and CANS activity, and then we use mast cell stabilizers (MCSs) to alter this MC-CANS communication. MCSs, which are well-known anti-allergic agents, could reduce the risk of ventricular arrhythmia (VA) after myocardial infarction (MI). RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis to investigate the underlying mechanism by which MCSs could affect the left stellate ganglion (LSG), a key therapeutic target for modulating CANS, showed that the IL-6 and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-ergic system may be involved in this process. Our findings demonstrated that MCSs reduce VA risk along with revealing the potential underlying antiarrhythmic mechanisms.

Keynote webinar | Spotlight on medication adherence

  • Webinar | 27-06-2024 | 18:00 (CEST)

Medication non-adherence is a major barrier to effective healthcare delivery; half of all patients do not follow their doctor’s recommendations or treatment plan.

Our experts explain the fundamentals with a practical discussion of how to manage non-adherence in two common scenarios: hypertension and asthma control.
