Abstract
We applied a new idea that the potential effect can change the ion adsorption structure on the cell surface to explore the mechanism of digoxin poisoning and the regulation of ion channels. The effects of digoxin on the electrophoretic mobility and behaviors (non-contraction or contraction or autorhythmicity) of cardiomyocytes were observed by single-cell electrophoresis technique (imitate the opening method of in vivo channel) and the method of decomposing surface potential components on the cells. As well as affect the association with electrical activity. The results suggested that the increase of cardiomyocytes transmembrane potential and the Na+–K+ exchange on the cell surface of the action potential phase 4 caused by the poisoning dose of digoxin, leading to the oscillation of adsorbed ions on the cell surface and the incomplete channel structure, which were the mechanism of cardiac ectopic beats. The results revealed that the opening of ion channels is regulated by the surface electric double layer of the cell membrane.
