Background The epinephrine infusion test (EIT) typically induces marked QT prolongation in LQT1, but not LQT3, while the efficacy of beta-blocker therapy is established in LQT1, but not LQT3. We encountered an LQT3 family, with an SCN5A V1667I mutation, that exhibited epinephrine-induced marked QT prolongation.Methods Wild-type (WT) or V1667I-SCN5A was transiently expressed into tsA-201 cells, and whole-cell sodium currents (I-Na) were recorded using patch-clamp techniques. To mimic the effects of epinephrine, I-Na was recorded after the application of protein kinase A (PKA) activator, 8-CPT-cAMP (200 mu M), for 10 minutes.Results The peak density of V1667I-I-Na was significantly larger than WT-I-Na (WT: 469 +/- 48 pA/pF, n = 20; V1667I: 690 +/- 62 pA/pF, n = 19, P < .01). The steady-state activation (SSA) and fast inactivation rate of V1667I-I-Na were comparable to WT-I-Na. V1667I-I-Na displayed a significant depolarizing shift in steady-state inactivation (SSI) in comparison to WT-I-Na (V-1/2-WT: -88.1 +/- 0.8 mV, n = 17; V1667I: -82.5 +/- 1.1 mV, n = 17, P < .01), which increases window currents. Tetrodotoxin (30 mu M)-sensitive persistent V1667I-I-Na was comparable to WT-I-Na. However, the ramp pulse protocol (RPP) displayed an increased hump in V1667I-I-Na in comparison to WT-I-Na. Although 8-CPT-cAMP shifted SSA to hyperpolarizing potentials in WT-I-Na and V1667I-I-Na to the same extent, it shifted SSI to hyperpolarizing potentials much less in V1667I-I-Na than in WT-I-Na (V-1/2-WT: -92.7 +/- 1.3 mV, n = 6; V1667I: -85.3 +/- 1.6 mV, n = 6, P < .01). Concordantly, the RPP displayed an increased hump in V1667I-I-Na, but not in WT-I-Na.Conclusions We demonstrated an increase of V1667I-I-Na by PKA activation, which may provide a rationale for the efficacy of beta-blocker therapy in some cases of LQT3.
