AbstractCellular electrophysiology is not fully understood in the atrium of pig heart. The objective of the present study was to determine whether transient outward current (Ito), ultra-rapid delayed rectifier potassium current (IKur), and rapid and slow delayed rectifier K+ currents (IKr and IKs) were present in pig atrium. The whole-cell patch technique was applied to record membrane currents and action potentials in myocytes isolated from pig atrium. It was found that an I to was activated upon depolarization voltage steps to between -10 and +60 mV from -50 mV in pig atrial cells, and the Ito was sensitive to the inhibition by the blockade of L-type calcium (Ca2+) current, showed a "bell-shaped" I-V relationship, typical of I to2 (i.e. ICl.Ca). The Ito2 was inhibited by the chloride (Cl-) channel blocker anthracene-9-carboxylic acid (9-AC, 200 μmol/l) or 4,4′-diisothiocyanostilben-2,2′disulfonic acid (200 μmol/l), and by Cl- substitution in the superfusate. IKur was found in pig atrial myocytes, and the current showed properties of weak inward rectification and use- and frequency-dependent reduction. IKur was resistant to tetraethylammonium, but sensitive to inhibition by 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) (IC50 = 71.7 ± 3.5 μmol/l). In addition, E-4031-sensitive IKr and chromanol 293B-sensitive IKs were observed in pig atrial myocytes. Blockade of Ito2, IKur, IKr or IKs with corresponding blockers significantly prolonged atrial action potentials. These results indicate that Ca2+-activated Ito2, 4-AP-sensitive IKur, E-4031-sensitive IKr, and 293B-sensitive I Ks are present in pig atrial myocytes, and these currents play important roles in action potential repolarization of pig atria. © 2004 Elsevier Ltd.
