Empagliflozin (EMPA) is a sodium–glucose transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor that functions as a new-generation glucose-lowering agent and has been proven to be beneficial for patients with cardiovascular diseases. However, the possible benefits and mechanisms of its antiarrhythmic effects in cardiac tissue have not yet been reported. In this study, we elucidated the possible antiarrhythmic effects and mechanisms of EMPA treatment in cardiac tissues of metabolic syndrome (MS) mice. A total of 20 C57BL/6J mice (age: 8 weeks) were divided into four groups: (1) control group, mice fed a standard chow for 16 weeks; (2) MS group, mice fed a high-fat diet for 16 weeks; (3) EMPA group, mice fed a high-fat diet for 12 weeks and administered EMPA at 10 mg/kg daily for the following 4 weeks; and (4) glibenclamide (GLI) group, mice fed a high-fat diet for 12 weeks and administered GLI at 0.6 mg/kg daily for the following 4 weeks. All mice were sacrificed after 16 weeks of feeding. The parameters of electrocardiography (ECG), echocardiography, and the effective refractory period (ERP) of the left ventricle were recorded. The histological characteristics of cardiac tissue, including connexin (Cx) expression and fibrotic areas, were also evaluated. Compared with the MS group, the ECG QT interval in the EMPA group was significantly shorter (57.06 ± 3.43 ms vs. 50.00 ± 2.62 ms, p = 0.011). The ERP of the left ventricle was also significantly shorter in the EMPA group than that in the GLI group (20.00 ± 10.00 ms vs. 60.00 ± 10.00 ms, p = 0.001). The expression of Cx40 and Cx43 in ventricular tissue was significantly lower in the MS group than in the control group. However, the downregulation of Cx40 and Cx43 was significantly attenuated in the EMPA group compared with the MS and GLI groups. The fibrotic areas of ventricular tissue were also fewer in the EMPA group than that in the MS group. In this study, the ECG QT interval in the EMPA group was shorter than that in the MS group. Compared with the MS group, the EMPA group exhibited significant attenuation of downregulated connexin expression and significantly fewer fibrotic areas in ventricles. These results may provide evidence of possible antiarrhythmic effects of EMPA.
