G. Y. Oudit, Z. Kassiri, R. Sah, R. J. Ramirez, C. Zobel and P. H. Backx. The Molecular Physiology of the Cardiac Transient Outward Potassium Current (I(to)) in Normal and Diseased Myocardium. Journal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology (2001) 33, 851-872. The Ca(2+)-independent transient outward potassium current (I(to)) plays an important role in early repolarization of the cardiac action potential. I(to)has been clearly demonstrated in myocytes from different cardiac regions and species…

Contrary to previous gene transfer studies involving the Kv4.3 current, the response of guinea pig ventricular myocytes to a fully inactivating I(to) is similar to that of canine ventricular cells and in animals such as dogs that have a broad cardiac action potential, I( to) does not play a major role in setting the APD.

The results indicate that I(to1) plays a crucial role in setting the plateau potential and overall APD, supporting a causative role for suppression of this current in the electrophysiological alterations of heart failure and indicating that somatic gene transfer can be used to create gene-specific animal models of the long QT syndrome.

Observations demonstrate that upregulation of Kv1.4 contributes to the electrical remodeling evident in the ventricles of K.4.2W362F-expressing mice and that elimination of both I(to,f) and I( to,s) has dramatic functional consequences.
