Abstract
BACKGROUND: Phosphoinositide 3-kinase α (PI3Kα) is a proto-oncogene with high activity in the heart. BYL719 (BYL) is a PI3Kα-selective small molecule inhibitor and a prospective drug for advanced solid tumors. We investigated whether acute pharmacological inhibition of PI3Kα has pro-arrhythmic effects. METHODS & RESULTS: In isolated wild-type (WT) cardiomyocytes, pharmacological inhibition of PI3Kα (BYL719) increased contractility by 28%, Ca²⁺ release by 20%, and prolonged action potential (AP) repolarization by 10–15%. These effects of BYL719 were abolished by inhibition of reverse-mode Na+/Ca²⁺ exchanger (NCX) (KB-R7943) or by inhibition of late Na⁺ current (I_{Na-L} (ranolazine). BYL719 had no effect on PI3Kα-deficient cardiomyocytes, suggesting BYL719 effects were PI3Kα-dependent and mediated via NCX and I_{Na-L·} I_{Na-L} was suppressed by activation of PI3Kα, application of exogenous intracellular PIP3, or ranolazine. Investigation of AP and Ca²⁺ release in whole heart preparations using epicardial optical mapping showed that inhibition of PI3Kα similarly led to prolongation of AP and enhancement of Ca²⁺ release. In hearts of PI3Kα-deficient mice, β-adrenergic stimulation in the presence of high Ca²⁺ oncentrations and 12-Hz burst pacing led to delayed afterdepolarizations and ventricular fibrillation. In vivo, administration of BYL719 prolonged QT interval [QT_{cF} (Fridericia) increased by 15%] in WT, but not in PI3Kα-deficient mice. CONCLUSIONS: Pharmacological inhibition of PI3Kα is arrhythmogenic due to activation of I_{Na-L} leading to increased sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ load and prolonged QT interval. Therefore, monitoring of cardiac electrical activity in patients receiving PI3K inhibitors may provide further insights into the arrhythmogenic potential of PI3Ka inhibition.
