Effects of quinidine and quinine on the pentamidine- or desipramine-induced hERG defect. (A) Different concentrations of quinidine (1, 10, and 30 μM) did not upregulate the expression of 155-kDa hERG after 30 μM pentamidine treatment. * p < 0.05 vs. control, n = 3; (B) Different concentrations of quinine (1, 10, and 30 μM) did not upregulate the expression of 155-kDa hERG after 30 μM pentamidine treatment. * p < 0.05 vs. control, n = 3; (C) Different concentrations of quinidine (1, 10, and 30 μM) did not upregulate the expression of 155-kDa hERG after 30 μM desipramine treatment. * p < 0.05 vs. control, n = 3; (D) Different concentrations of quinine (1, 10, and 30 μM) did not upregulate the expression of 155-kDa hERG after 30 μM desipramine treatment. * p < 0.05 vs. control, n = 3. The hERG-HEK cells were incubated with the drugs for 24 h. Abbreviation: ctl, control.
