Developmental changes in functional expression and β-adrenergic regulation of If in the heart of mouse embryo

Abstract: The hyperpolarization-activated current (I ƒ ) plays an important role in determining the spontaneous rate of cardiac pacemaker cells. The automatic rhythmicity also exists in working cells of embryonic heart, therefore we studied developmental changes in functional expression and β-adrenergic regulation of I ƒ in embryonic mouse heart. The expression of I ƒ is high in early developmental stage (EDS) (10.5 d after coitus) ventricular myocytes, low in intermediate developmental stage (IDS) (13.5 d) atrial or ve… Show more

“…This is the first paper that reveals the functional characterization of IK1 in murine fetal cardiomyocytes and its functional role in cardiac excitability, which clearly demonstrated the developmental changes in the IK1 subunits. The findings here may offer a new aspect for better understanding of cardiogenesis and heart disease such as myocardial hypertrophy and heart failure [20][21][22].…”

“…The embryonic cardiomyocytes display spontaneous occurring APs [18][19] and share some properties of the diseased cardiomyocytes which suffer from hypertrophy or cardiac failure [20][21][22]. Thus electrophysiological properties of fetal cardiomyocytes have recently been discussed intensively [23][24][25][26].…”

“…If female mice were pregnant this was recorded as E0.5, and E17.5 was used as the late embryonic development stage [18,19]. E17.5 pregnant female mice were sacrificed by cervical dislocation and the embryonic hearts were removed.…”

“…Briefly, after the embryos were harvested, hearts were dissected and ventricles separated from atria, single cardiomyocytes were isolated from the ventricles using enzymatic dissociation procedures as described previously. 18, 19 The isolated cells were plated onto sterile, gelatin-coated glass coverslips and kept in the incubator for 24-48 h. All procedures were performed in accordance with the Guidelines of the Hubei Council of Animal Care and approved by the Animal Use Subcommittee of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, China.…”
