Circadian rhythms are generated by cell autonomous circadian clocks that perform a ubiquitous cellular time-keeping function and cell type-specific functions important for normal physiology. Studies show inducing the deletion of the core circadian clock transcription factor in adult mouse cardiomyocytes disrupts cardiac circadian clock function, cardiac ion channel expression, slows heart rate, and prolongs the QT-interval at slow heart rates. This study determined how inducing the deletion of in adult cardiomyocytes impacted the electrophysiological phenotype of a knock-in mouse model for the arrhythmogenic long QT syndrome ( ). Electrocardiographic telemetry showed inducing the deletion of in the cardiomyocytes of mice with or without the ΔKPQ- mutation increased the QT-interval at RR-intervals that were ≥130 ms. Inducing the deletion of in the cardiomyocytes of mice with or without the ΔKPQ- mutation also increased the day/night rhythm-adjusted mean in the RR-interval, but it did not change the period, phase or amplitude. Compared to mice without the ΔKPQ- mutation, mice with the ΔKPQ- mutation had reduced heart rate variability (HRV) during the peak of the day/night rhythm in the RR-interval. Inducing the deletion of in cardiomyocytes did not affect HRV in mice without the ΔKPQ- mutation, but it did increase HRV in mice with the ΔKPQ- mutation. The data demonstrate that deleting in cardiomyocytes exacerbates QT- and RR-interval prolongation in mice with the ΔKPQ- mutation.
昼夜节律由细胞自主生物钟产生,这些生物钟执行普遍存在的细胞计时功能以及对正常生理至关重要的细胞类型特异性功能。研究表明,在成年小鼠心肌细胞中诱导核心昼夜节律钟转录因子缺失会破坏心脏昼夜节律钟功能、心脏离子通道表达,减缓心率,并在慢心率时延长QT间期。本研究确定了在成年心肌细胞中诱导缺失如何影响致心律失常性长QT综合征( )敲入小鼠模型的电生理表型。心电图遥测显示,在有或没有ΔKPQ-突变的小鼠心肌细胞中诱导缺失会增加RR间期≥130 ms时的QT间期。在有或没有ΔKPQ-突变的小鼠心肌细胞中诱导缺失也会增加RR间期的昼夜节律调整平均值,但不会改变周期、相位或幅度。与没有ΔKPQ-突变的小鼠相比,有ΔKPQ-突变的小鼠在RR间期昼夜节律峰值期间的心率变异性(HRV)降低。在没有ΔKPQ-突变的小鼠心肌细胞中诱导缺失不会影响HRV,但会增加有ΔKPQ-突变的小鼠的HRV。数据表明,在有ΔKPQ-突变的小鼠中,心肌细胞中缺失会加剧QT和RR间期延长。
