Outline of Research at the Start

研究の目的は, 細胞内小胞体カウンターイオンチャネル(TRIC A)の心調律における 生理的役割を解明することである. 本研究では TRIC A 遺伝子欠損マウスを用い, 個体, 臓器(洞結節と心臓), 細胞の各レベルにおける同チャネルの機能を精査する(主研究). 副研究として, 大腸菌を用いる新 規発現系を用い, TRIC A の三量体チャネル構成に重要な結合ドメイン探索を行う.

Outline of Final Research Achievements

We evaluated the importance of TRIC channels on cardiac pacemaking using TRIC-A-null mice. Although systolic blood pressure (SBP) was not significantly different between wild-type (WT), and TRIC-A-null mice, heart rate (HR) was significantly lower in TRIC-A-null mice than other lines. Isoproterenol (0.3 mg/kg) increased the HR in WT mice, whereas a decreased response in HR was observed in TRIC-A-null mice, suggesting decreased sympathetic responses. Electrocardiography revealed unstable R-R intervals in TRIC-A-null mice. Furthermore, TRIC-A-null mice sometimes showed sinus pauses, suggesting a significant role of TRIC-A channels in cardiac pacemaking. In isolated atrium contraction or action potential recording, TRIC-A-null mice showed decreased response to a β-adrenergic sympathetic nerve agonist (isoproterenol), indicating decreased sympathetic responses. Our study indicates the involvement of TRIC-A channels in cardiac rhythm formation and sympathetic responses.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究により、細胞内カウンターイオンチャネルであるTRICが心臓の洞結節における活動電位発生に関与することが示された。したがって、TRICチャネルを修飾する事により、心拍数を変化させることが可能と考えられた。このことは、TRICが新規抗不整脈薬の標的になり得ることを示唆する。
