Abstract

Pluripotent mouse P19 embryonic carcinoma cells represent a convenient in vitro model for studying various aspects of cardiac differentiation. Here by using whole-cell patch-clamp recording we have identified the rapid delayed rectifier K+ current, IKr, in P19 cell induced to differentiate into cardiac phenotype by DMSO (1%). Cardiac differentiation was confirmed by the appearance of spontaneously beating cells, their morphological features, ultrastructural clusterization of mitochondria around contraction elements, expression of cardiac actin mRNAs and 06ISSN 0201-8489 Фізіол. журн., 2006, Т. 52, № 1 MLC2v, and by the presence of inward sodium and calcium currents. IKr was isolated based on the sensitivity to the spe- cific blocker, Е-4031, which at concentration of 1 мM blocked more than 50% of the total outward K+ current. However, in contrast to IKr in native cardiac myocytes and in heterologous systems expressing IKr-carrying ERG1 potassium channel, Е-4031-sensitive K+ current in cardiac-like P19 cells lacked characteristic inward rectification, suggesting specific regulation and/or subunit composition of endogenous ERG1-based channel in these cells. Establishing the reason(s) for this phe- nomenon will advance the understanding of the mechanisms of IKr-channel rectification. Cardiac-differentiated P19 cells might also be useful for studying pharmacological modulation of IKr, which is recognized target for cardiotoxic side effects of numerous drugs
