Characterization of a slowly inactivating outward current in adult mouse ventricular myocytes.
We recently have reported that suppression of the slowly inactivating component of the outward current, Islow, in ventricular myocytes of transgenic mice (long QT mice) overexpressing the N-terminal fragment and S1 segment of Kv1.1 resulted in a significant prolongation of action potential duration and the QT interval. Here we describe the detailed biophysical properties and physiological role ...
متن کاملFour Kinetically Distinct Depolarization-activated K+ Currents in Adult Mouse Ventricular Myocytes
In the experiments here, the time- and voltage-dependent properties of the Ca2+-independent, depolarization-activated K+ currents in adult mouse ventricular myocytes were characterized in detail. In the majority (65 of 72, approximately 90%) of cells dispersed from the ventricles, analysis of the decay phases of the outward currents revealed three distinct K+ current components: a rapidly inact...
متن کاملCompartmentation of cAMP in Adult Canine Ventricular Myocytes
Isolated adult canine ventricular myocytes were used to study the role of compartmentation of cAMP in the diverse functional responses to various drugs that elevate cAMP. Myocytes presented with the ,-agonist isoproterenol accumulated cAMP with a half maximally effective concentration (EC%) of 3.55 x 10` M. Approximately 45% of the total cAMP was recovered in the particulate fraction of digiton...
متن کاملTrafficking of an endogenous potassium channel in adult ventricular myocytes.
The roles of several small GTPases in the expression of an endogenous potassium current, I(to,f), in adult rat ventricular myocytes have been investigated. The results indicate that forward trafficking of newly synthesized Kv4.2, which underlies I(to,f) in these cells, requires both Rab1 and Sar1 function. Expression of a Rab1 dominant negative (DN) reduced I(to,f) current density by roughly on...
متن کاملIntracellular tortuosity underlies slow cAMP diffusion in adult ventricular myocytes
AIMS 3',5'-Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) signals in the heart are often confined to concentration microdomains shaped by cAMP diffusion and enzymatic degradation. While the importance of phosphodiesterases (degradative enzymes) in sculpting cAMP microdomains is well established in cardiomyocytes, less is known about cAMP diffusivity (DcAMP) and factors affecting it. Many earlier studies...
