Abstract
SCN5A-encoded NaV1.5 is a voltage-gated Na+ channel that drives the electrical excitability of cardiac myocytes and contributes to slow waves of the human gastrointestinal smooth muscle cells. NaV1.5 is mechanosensitive: mechanical force modulates several facets of NaV1.5’s voltage-gated function, and some NaV1.5 channelopathies are associated with abnormal NaV1.5 mechanosensitivity (MS). A class of membrane-active drugs, known as amphiphiles, therapeutically target NaV1.5’s voltage-gated function and produce off-target effects including alteration of MS. Amphiphiles may provide a novel option for therapeutic modulation of NaV1.5’s mechanosensitive operation. To more selectively target NaV1.5 MS, we searched for a membrane-partitioning amphipathic agent that would inhibit MS with minimal closed-state inhibition of voltage-gated currents. Among the amphiphiles tested, we selected capsaicin for further study. We used two methods to assess the effects of capsaicin on NaV1.5 MS: (1) membrane suction in cell-attached macroscopic patches and (2) fluid shear stress on whole cells. We tested the effect of capsaicin on NaV1.5 MS by examining macro-patch and whole-cell Na+ current parameters with and without force. Capsaicin abolished the pressure- and shear-mediated peak current increase and acceleration; and the mechanosensitive shifts in the voltage-dependence of activation (shear) and inactivation (pressure and shear). Exploring the recovery from inactivation and use-dependent entry into inactivation, we found divergent stimulus-dependent effects that could potentiate or mitigate the effect of capsaicin, suggesting that mechanical stimuli may differentially modulate NaV1.5 MS. We conclude that selective modulation of NaV1.5 MS makes capsaicin a promising candidate for therapeutic interventions targeting MS.

Abstract
A homology model of Nav1.5, based mainly on the crystal structures of Nav1.2/1.5 was built, optimized and successfully inserted into the membrane bilayer. We applied steered and free MD simulation protocols for the visualization of the mechanism of Nav1.5 activation. We constrained dihedrals of S4 trigger to introduce a structural tension with further rearrangement and movement of secondary structure elements. From these, we observed an intracellular gate opening and movement of the Lys1419 residue caused by a gradual displacement of the distal S6 α-helix with the extended S4 3-10 helix of voltage-sensing domains (VSD). A construction containing the Lys1419 residue in P-loop also changed its position due to the extension of this helix and subsequent induction of the pore-forming helixes motion. From this point, a double membrane system was generated, implying a free of ligand Nav1.5 protein and on the opposite side its copy containing a docked bupivacaine molecule inside the pore channel. The system can be used for the design of selective inhibitors against the Nav1.7 channel, instead of mixed effect on both channels.

Abstract
Mechanosensation, the ability to properly sense mechanical stimuli and transduce them into physiologic responses, is an essential determinant of gastrointestinal (GI) function. Abnormalities in this process result in highly prevalent GI functional and motility disorders. In the GI tract, several cell types sense mechanical forces and transduce them into electrical signals, which elicit specific cellular responses. Some mechanosensitive cells like sensory neurons act as specialized mechanosensitive cells that detect forces and transduce signals into tissue-level physiological reactions. Nonspecialized mechanosensitive cells like smooth muscle cells (SMCs) adjust their function in response to forces. Mechanosensitive cells use various mechanoreceptors and mechanotransducers. Mechanoreceptors detect and convert force into electrical and biochemical signals, and mechanotransducers amplify and direct mechanoreceptor responses. Mechanoreceptors and mechanotransducers include ion channels, specialized cytoskeletal proteins, cell junction molecules, and G protein-coupled receptors. SMCs are particularly important due to their role as final effectors for motor function. Myogenic reflex-the ability of smooth muscle to contract in response to stretch rapidly-is a critical smooth muscle function. Such rapid mechanotransduction responses rely on mechano-gated and mechanosensitive ion channels, which alter their ion pores' opening in response to force, allowing fast electrical and Ca2+ responses. Although GI SMCs express a variety of such ion channels, their identities remain unknown. Recent advancements in electrophysiological, genetic, in vivo imaging, and multi-omic technologies broaden our understanding of how SMC mechano-gated and mechanosensitive ion channels regulate GI functions. This review discusses GI SMC mechanosensitivity's current developments with a particular emphasis on mechano-gated and mechanosensitive ion channels.

Abstract
SCN5A is expressed in cardiomyocytes and gastrointestinal (GI) smooth muscle cells (SMCs) as the voltage-gated mechanosensitive sodium channel NaV1.5. The influx of Na+ through NaV1.5 produces a fast depolarization in membrane potential, indispensable for electrical excitability in cardiomyocytes and important for electrical slow waves in GI smooth muscle. As such, abnormal NaV1.5 voltage gating or mechanosensitivity may result in channelopathies. SCN5A mutation G615E – found separately in cases of acquired long-QT syndrome, sudden cardiac death, and irritable bowel syndrome – has a relatively minor effect on NaV1.5 voltage gating. The aim of this study was to test whether G615E impacts mechanosensitivity. Mechanosensitivity of wild-type (WT) or G615E-NaV1.5 in HEK-293 cells was examined by shear stress on voltage- or current-clamped whole cells or pressure on macroscopic patches. Unlike WT, voltage-clamped G615E-NaV1.5 showed a loss in shear- and pressure-sensitivity of peak current yet a normal leftward shift in the voltage-dependence of activation. In current-clamp, shear stress led to a significant increase in firing spike frequency with a decrease in firing threshold for WT but not G615E-NaV1.5. Our results show that the G615E mutation leads to functionally abnormal NaV1.5 channels, which cause disruptions in mechanosensitivity and mechano-electrical feedback and suggest a potential contribution to smooth muscle pathophysiology.

Abstract
Background To evaluate acute toxicity and local anaesthetic activity of a formulation containing a novel dimethylacetamide derivative, antioxidant, and vasoconstrictor in rats with chronic periodontitis. Methods Novel anaesthetic dimethylacetamide-containing formulation LHT-15-32 was studied as 2% water solution. Its acute intravenous and subcutaneous toxicity was determined in mice. Pain sensitivity threshold of the upper second molar was determined in rats with experimental periodontitis. Oxidative stress activity and total antioxidant capacity were determined in rats' gingival mucosa by induced chemiluminescence. Local changes were evaluated in periodontal tissue by morphological examination. Tissue IL-1β, IL-10, and TNF-α concentration was quantitatively assessed by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. LHT-15-31 Na-blocking activity was studied on isolated neurons of Limnaea stagnalis' parapharyngeal ganglion. Isolated sciatic nerve of Rana radibunda was perfused with different concentrations of LHT-15-32 to assess its conductivity. Statistical analysis was used, and continuous variables were presented as mean ± square deviation. The normality of distribution was determined using ANOVA. Newman–Keuls parametric criterion was used for intergroup comparison. LD50 indexes were calculated by probit analysis. Results LHT-15-32 acute intravenous and subcutaneous toxicity was lower than that of its active substance. The formulation by infraorbital administration induced deep dental anaesthesia which lasted over 70 min and activated the local antioxidant defense system and decreased IL-1β level in gingival tissue. LHT-15-32 triggered tissue reparation around the impacted upper molar in rats assessed five days after administration. At 10−6 to 10−3 M concentration, LHT-15-32 inhibited sciatic nerve conductivity and blocked Na+ channels of isolated neurons in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusions The formulation may be considered as an effective and safe approach to anaesthetize upper molars with periodontitis.

Abstract
In cardiomyocytes, electrical activity is coupled to cellular contraction, thus exposing all proteins expressed in the sarcolemma to mechanical stress. The voltage-gated sodium channel Nav1.5 is the main contributor to the rising phase of the action potential in the heart. There is growing evidence that gating and kinetics of Nav1.5 are modulated by mechanical forces and pathogenic variants that affect mechanosensitivity have been linked to arrhythmias. Recently, the sodium channel β1 subunit has been described to stabilise gating against mechanical stress of Nav1.7 expressed in neurons. Here, we tested the effect of β1 and β3 subunits on mechanosensitivity of the cardiac Nav1.5. β1 amplifies stress-induced shifts of V1/2 of steady-state fast inactivation to hyperpolarised potentials (ΔV1/2: 6.2 mV without and 10.7 mV with β1 co-expression). β3, on the other hand, almost doubles stress-induced speeding of time to sodium current transient peak (Δtime to peak at - 30 mV: 0.19 ms without and 0.37 ms with β3 co-expression). Our findings may indicate that in cardiomyocytes, the interdependence of electrical activity and contraction is used as a means of fine tuning cardiac sodium channel function, allowing quicker but more strongly inactivating sodium currents under conditions of increased mechanical stress. This regulation may help to shorten action potential duration during tachycardia, to prevent re-entry phenomena and thus arrhythmias.

Abstract
Abbreviations: AC – acetylcholyne; AF – atrial fibrillation; AP – action potential; BLM – bi-lipid membrane; DPA – Dimethylphenylacetamide; VA – ventricular arrhythmia
Introduction: The study aim was to identify essential elements of the antiarrhythmic action mechanism of tertiary and quaternary derivatives of Dimethylphenylacetamide.
Materials and Methods: The study was conducted in albino rats and mice of both sexes; isolated neurons of mollusc Limneastagnalis; and strips of rats’ right ventricle myocardium. Two compounds of Dimethylphenylacetamide LKhT-3-00 and LKhT-12-02 were studied. The cholynolytic property of the compounds was investigated by using a Schallek method in the authors’ modification. The adrenotropic activity of the derivatives was explored by Moore and Spear (1984), as well a by the method of catecholamine level detection in heart tissue. The permeability of derivatives through BLM was evaluated experimentally and theoretically. The derivatives’ influence on Na+-current was studied directly and indirectly.
Results and Discussion: Neither tertiary nor quaternary derivatives possess the cholynolytic property. LKhT-3-00 prevented an increase in the adrenaline concentration in the left ventricle myocardium. The compounds prevent catecholamine arrhythmia and conductivity disorders. LKhT-3-00 like Lidocaine passes through the BLM of the cardiac cell in an ionised form, whereas the quaternary derivative permeates cardiac cell membrane in an electro-neutral form. Lidocaine derivatives restrain acute ischemia-induced oxidative process growth in the cardiac muscle. Simultaneously, the LKhT-3-00 compound can activate antioxidant mechanisms and prevent acidosis and optimise the balance between [O2] and [CO2] concentrations in coronary dark blood. At a concentration of 10 mg/ml, although the derivatives reduce the amplitude of the leading edge of AP and its rate of increase, they do not, however, affect the duration of AP.
Conclusions: The compounds possess the Na+-blocking and cell-protecting properties. They do not affect K+-current through Kv4.3-channels.

Abstract
Abnormalities in the human Nav1.5 (hNav1.5) voltage-gated sodium ion channel (VGSC) are associated with a wide range of cardiac problems and diseases in humans. Current structural models of hNav1.5 are still far from complete and, consequently, their ability to study atomistic interactions of this channel is very limited. Here, we report a comprehensive atomistic model of the hNav1.5 ion channel, constructed using homology modeling technique and refined through long molecular dynamics simulations (680 ns) in the lipid membrane bilayer. Our model was comprehensively validated by using reported mutagenesis data, comparisons with previous models, and binding to a panel of known hNav1.5 blockers. The relatively long classical MD simulation was sufficient to observe a natural sodium permeation event across the channel's selectivity filters to reach the channel's central cavity, together with the identification of a unique role of the lysine residue. Electrostatic potential calculations revealed the existence of two potential binding sites for the sodium ion at the outer selectivity filters. To obtain further mechanistic insight into the permeation event from the central cavity to the intracellular region of the channel, we further employed "state-of-the-art" steered molecular dynamics (SMD) simulations. Our SMD simulations revealed two different pathways through which a sodium ion can be expelled from the channel. Further, the SMD simulations identified the key residues that are likely to control these processes. Finally, we discuss the potential binding modes of a panel of known hNav1.5 blockers to our structural model of hNav1.5. We believe that the data presented here will enhance our understanding of the structure-property relationships of the hNav1.5 ion channel and the underlying molecular mechanisms in sodium ion permeation and drug interactions. The results presented here could be useful for designing safer drugs that do not block the hNav1.5 channel.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Identification of novel drug-target interactions (DTIs) is important for drug discovery. Experimental determination of such DTIs is costly and time consuming, hence it necessitates the development of efficient computational methods for the accurate prediction of potential DTIs. To-date, many computational methods have been proposed for this purpose, but they suffer the drawback of a high rate of false positive predictions. RESULTS Here, we developed a novel computational DTI prediction method, DASPfind. DASPfind uses simple paths of particular lengths inferred from a graph that describes DTIs, similarities between drugs, and similarities between the protein targets of drugs. We show that on average, over the four gold standard DTI datasets, DASPfind significantly outperforms other existing methods when the single top-ranked predictions are considered, resulting in 46.17 % of these predictions being correct, and it achieves 49.22 % correct single top ranked predictions when the set of all DTIs for a single drug is tested. Furthermore, we demonstrate that our method is best suited for predicting DTIs in cases of drugs with no known targets or with few known targets. We also show the practical use of DASPfind by generating novel predictions for the Ion Channel dataset and validating them manually. CONCLUSIONS DASPfind is a computational method for finding reliable new interactions between drugs and proteins. We show over six different DTI datasets that DASPfind outperforms other state-of-the-art methods when the single top-ranked predictions are considered, or when a drug with no known targets or with few known targets is considered. We illustrate the usefulness and practicality of DASPfind by predicting novel DTIs for the Ion Channel dataset. The validated predictions suggest that DASPfind can be used as an efficient method to identify correct DTIs, thus reducing the cost of necessary experimental verifications in the process of drug discovery.

Abstract
Human jejunum smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs) express the SCN5A-encoded voltage-gated, mechanosensitive sodium channel NaV1.5. NaV1.5 contributes to small bowel excitability, and NaV1.5 inhibitor ranolazine produces constipation by an unknown mechanism. We aimed to determine the presence and molecular identity of Na(+) current in the human colon smooth muscle and to examine the effects of ranolazine on Na(+) current, mechanosensitivity, and smooth muscle contractility. Inward currents were recorded by whole cell voltage clamp from freshly dissociated human colon SMCs at rest and with shear stress. SCN5A mRNA and NaV1.5 protein were examined by RT-PCR and Western blots, respectively. Ascending human colon strip contractility was examined in a muscle bath preparation. SCN5A mRNA and NaV1.5 protein were identified in human colon circular muscle. Freshly dissociated human colon SMCs had Na(+) currents (-1.36 ± 0.36 pA/pF), shear stress increased Na(+) peaks by 17.8 ± 1.8% and accelerated the time to peak activation by 0.7 ± 0.3 ms. Ranolazine (50 μM) blocked peak Na(+) current by 43.2 ± 9.3% and inhibited shear sensitivity by 25.2 ± 3.2%. In human ascending colon strips, ranolazine decreased resting tension (31%), reduced the frequency of spontaneous events (68%), and decreased the response to smooth muscle electrical field stimulation (61%). In conclusion, SCN5A-encoded NaV1.5 is found in human colonic circular smooth muscle. Ranolazine blocks both peak amplitude and mechanosensitivity of Na(+) current in human colon SMCs and decreases contractility of human colon muscle strips. Our data provide a likely mechanistic explanation for constipation induced by ranolazine.

Abstract
Na(V)1.5 is a mechanosensitive voltage-gated Na(+) channel encoded by the gene SCN5A, expressed in cardiac myocytes and required for phase 0 of the cardiac action potential (AP). In the cardiomyocyte, ranolazine inhibits depolarizing Na(+) current and delayed rectifier (I(Kr)) currents. Recently, ranolazine was also shown to be an inhibitor of Na(V)1.5 mechanosensitivity. Stretch also accelerates the firing frequency of the SA node, and fluid shear stress increases the beating rate of cultured cardiomyocytes in vitro. However, no cultured cell platform exists currently for examination of spontaneous electrical activity in response to mechanical stimulation. In the present study, flow of solution over atrial myocyte-derived HL-1 cultured cells was used to study shear stress mechanosensitivity of Na(+) current and spontaneous, endogenous rhythmic action potentials. In voltage-clamped HL-1 cells, bath flow increased peak Na(+) current by 14 ± 5%. In current-clamped cells, bath flow increased the frequency and decay rate of AP by 27 ± 12% and 18 ± 4%, respectively. Ranolazine blocked both responses to shear stress. This study suggests that cultured HL-1 cells are a viable in vitro model for detailed study of the effects of mechanical stimulation on spontaneous cardiac action potentials. Inhibition of the frequency and decay rate of action potentials in HL-1 cells are potential mechanisms behind the antiarrhythmic effect of ranolazine.
