L-type Ca v 1.3 channels regulate ryanodine receptor-dependent Ca 2+ release during sino-atrial node pacemaker activity
Résumé
Sino-atrial node (SAN) automaticity is an essential mechanism of heart rate generation that is still not completely understood. Recent studies highlighted the importance of intracellular Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)]i) dynamics during SAN pacemaker activity. Nevertheless, the functional role of voltage-dependent L-type Ca(2+) channels in controlling SAN [Ca(2+)]i release is largely unexplored. Since Cav1.3 is the predominant L-type Ca(2+) channel isoform in SAN cells, we studied [Ca(2+)]i dynamics in isolated cells and ex vivo SAN preparations explanted from wild-type (WT) and Cav1.3 knockout (KO) mice (Cav1.3(-/-)).
