Modulation of mouse ventricular action potentials and
K+ currents was examined using the whole cell patch-clamp
technique. The composite mouse ventricular K+ current
(consisted of an outward transient followed by a slowly decaying
sustained component. Use of the K+ channel blockers
tetraethylammonium and 4-aminopyridine and a transgenic mouse model
revealed three pharmacologically and kinetically distinct currents:
Ito, which contributed to the transient component; IK, which contributed to the sustained component;
and a slowly activating current (Islow), which
contributed to both components. The immunosuppressant FK-506 increased
action potential duration at 90% repolarization by 66.7% by
decreasing the sustained component (
48% at +60 mV) and
prolonging recovery from inactivation (by 26% at 200 ms) of the
transient component. These effects were isolated to
IK and Ito, respectively.
Rapamycin had strikingly similar effects on these currents. Both FK-506
and rapamycin are known to target the immunophilin FKBP12. Thus we
conclude that FKBP12 modulates specific mouse K+ channels,
and thus the mouse ventricular action potential, by interacting
directly with K+ channel proteins or with other associated
regulatory proteins.
