Circular RNA mmu_circ_0005019 regulates small conductance calcium-activated potassium current and action potential duration in mouse cardiomyocytes
To investigate the effect of mmu_circ_0005019 on regulating Kcnn3 expression
small conductance calcium-activated potassium current (I
K
Ca
) which is generated by the small conductance calcium-ac
tivated potassium (SK) channel that is partly coded by Kcnn3
and action potential duration (APD).
Methods
2
We transfected pcDNA3.1-mmu_circ_0005019 expressing vectors and 2 independent small interfering RNAs into HL-1 cells to establish gain- and loss-of-expression cell models
respectively. The transfected cells were divided into overexpression group(
n
=3)
empty vector group(
n
=3)
interference 1 group(
n
=3)
interference 2 group(
n
=3)
and blank control group(
n
=3). RT-qPCR and Western blotting were used to determine the expression of Kcnn3. Whole-cell patch clamp technology was performed to record the I
K
Ca
and APD. The effects of mmu_circ_0005019 on Kcnn3 expression
I
K
Ca
and APD were observed.
Results
2
Gain- and loss-of-expression cell models were established successfully. The expression of Kcnn3 and I
K
Ca
current density significantly increased
and the APD was shortened in overexpression group compared with empty vector group(
P
<
0.05). The expression of Kcnn3 and I
K
Ca
current density were significantly decreased
and the APD was prolonged in interference groups compared with blank control group(
P
<
0.05).
Conclusion
2
Mmu_circ_0005019 promotes the expression of Kcnn3 and its coding channel protein
which regulates I
K
Ca
and APD in mouse cardiomyocytes
and may play a promoting role in the occurrence of atrial fibrillation.
