Bisphenol A (BPA) is a high-production volume chemical used to manufacture consumer and medical-grade plastic products. Due to its ubiquity, the general population can incur daily environmental exposure to BPA, whereas heightened exposure has been reported in intensive care patients and industrial workers. Due to health concerns, structural analogs are being explored as replacements for BPA. This study aimed to examine the direct effects of BPA on cardiac electrophysiology compared with recently developed alternatives, including BPS (bisphenol S) and BPF (bisphenol F). Whole-cell voltage-clamp recordings were performed on cell lines transfected to express the voltage-gated sodium channel (Nav1.5), L-type voltage-gated calcium channel (Cav1.2), or the rapidly activating delayed rectifier potassium channel (hERG). Cardiac electrophysiology parameters were measured using human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CM) and intact, whole rat heart preparations. BPA was the most potent inhibitor of fast/peak (INa-P) and late (INa-L) sodium channel (IC50 = 55.3, 23.6 µM, respectively), L-type calcium channel (IC50 = 30.8 µM), and hERG channel current (IC50 = 127 µM). Inhibitory effects on L-type calcium channels were supported by microelectrode array recordings, which revealed a shortening of the extracellular field potential (akin to QT interval). BPA and BPF exposures slowed atrioventricular (AV) conduction and increased AV node refractoriness in isolated rat heart preparations, in a dose-dependent manner (BPA: +9.2% 0.001 µM, +95.7% 100 µM; BPF: +20.7% 100 µM). BPS did not alter any of the cardiac electrophysiology parameters tested. Results of this study demonstrate that BPA and BPF exert an immediate inhibitory effect on cardiac ion channels, whereas BPS is markedly less potent. Additional studies are necessary to fully elucidate the safety profile of bisphenol analogs on the heart.
