Mutation in KCNE1 associated to early repolarization syndrome by modulation of slowly activating delayed rectifier K + current.
Experimental Cell Research 2018 Februrary 16
BACKGROUND: Recent studies have revealed that mutation in KCNE1, β-subunits of cardiac potassium channel, involved in ventricular fibrillation. Whereas its role in early repolarization syndrome (ERS) is less well understood.
OBJECTIVE: To study whether mutant in KCNE1 is associated with ERS and explore the possible underlying molecular mechanisms.
METHODS: Whole genome from four unrelated families with ERS was amplified and sequenced. Wild-type (WT) KCNE1 and/or KCNE1-S38G (S38G) were expressed in HEK293 cells with KCNQ1. Functional studies included whole-cell patch-clamp, western blot and immunofluorescence were performed to reveal the possible underlying mechanisms.
RESULTS: The co-expression of KCNE1-S38G and KCNQ1 decreased tail current density of IKs but had little effect in modulation channel kinetics of IKs . Compared with KCNE1-WT, the expression and membrane location of KCNE1-S38G decreased. Co-expression of KCNE1-WT and KCNE1-S38G partially rescued the function of IKs channel.
CONCLUSIONS: The S38G mutation induced a loss-of-function of IKs due to decreasing of KCNE1 protein expression and defecting in KCNE1 protein membrane trafficking. Our findings suggested that KCNE1 may be one of the possible modulatory genes associated to ERS.
