Spontaneous Coronary Vasospasm in K ATP Mutant Mice Arises From a Smooth Muscle–Extrinsic Process

Abstract: Abstract-In the vasculature, ATP-sensitive potassium channels (K ATP ) channels regulate vascular tone. Mice with targeted gene disruptions of K ATP subunits expressed in vascular smooth muscle develop spontaneous coronary vascular spasm and sudden death. From these models, it was hypothesized that the loss of K ATP channel activity in arterial vascular smooth muscle was responsible for coronary artery spasm. We now tested this hypothesis using a transgenic strategy where the full-length sulfonylurea receptor … Show more

“…7B, Lanes 1&2). This data was consistent with previous observations that glibenclamide-sensitive I KATP was absent in both mutant ventricular myocytes [14] and vascular smooth muscle cells [15]. However, BNJ-39 and BN-40 detected the SUR2 short forms in the mutant heart tissues (Fig.…”

“…The glibenclamide effect is expected to be altered in the mutant. Earlier characterizations at the nucleic acid level suggest that the disruption cassette is present in SUR2, which is confirmed by the loss of the conventional glibenclamide-sensitive K ATP currents (I KATP ) in isolated cardiomyocytes [14] and vascular smooth muscle cells [15]. This mouse was thought to be a SUR2 null mouse based on lines of functional data.…”

“…48) They tested the role of the K -NDP channel in spontaneous coronary vasospasm using the transgenic mice that harbored the K -NDP channel in only vascular smooth muscle cells but not any other cells. They observed not only protein expression but also the restoration of the functional K -NDP channel in the smooth muscle cells.…”

“…Surprisingly, however, when SUR2B is selectively returned to smooth muscle in SUR null mice, to restore smooth muscle K ATP channels, spontaneous coronary vasospasm persists. 6 The phenotype is only rescued when cardiac K ATP channels are restored, 7 suggesting that K ATP channels outside of smooth muscle exert considerable influence over vascular contractility and undermining the central role of smooth muscle K ATP channels in the regulation of vascular tone in the whole animal.…”
