“…According to previous studies, abnormal desmosome genetic expressions, including desmocollin-2 (DSC2), desmoglein-2 (DSG2), plakophilin-2 (PKP2), desmoplakin (DSP), plakoglobin (JUP) and desmin (DES) participate in the pathogenic mechanism of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) [17,18,20,[24][25][26][27]. Interestingly, loss-of-function of SCN5A mutations induced complex arrhythmia, including Brs, atrial fibrillation (AF), atrial standstill, VT and sick sinus syndrome [28]. In this study, we first discovered some interesting interactions among desmosome proteins and cardiac sodium channels in cardiomyocytes, including DSG2 and Na v 1.5 (α subunit of the sodium channel, encoded by SCN5A), PKP2 and Na v 1.5, DES and Na v 1.5, NEBL and DES in the cardiac desmosomes, through literature research using "NEBL and SCN5A (or Na v 1.5, or sodium channel), nebulette and SCN5A (or Na v 1.5, or sodium channel), each protein of desmosomes (including DSG2, DSC2, PKP2 and DSP) and NEBL (or nebulette), each protein of desmosomes (including DSG2, DSC2, PKP2 and DSP) and SCN5A (or Na v 1.5, or sodium channel), NEBL (or nebulette) and Brugada syndrome, each protein of desmosomes (including DSG2, DSC2, PKP2 and DSP) and Brugada syndrome" in the NCBI PubMed database.…”
