Cardiac voltage-gated Ca2+channels regulate the intracellular Ca2+concentration and are therefore essential for muscle contraction, second messenger activation, gene expression and electrical signaling. As a first step in accessing the structural versus functional properties of the L-type Ca2+channel in the heart, we have expressed a dihydropyridine (DHP)-insensitive CaV1.2 channel in rat ventricular myocytes and fibroblasts. Following isolation and culture, cells were infected with adenovirus expressing either LacZ or a mutant CaV1.2 channel (CaV1.2DHPi) containing the double mutation (T1039Y & Q1043M). This mutation renders the channel insensitive to neutral DHP compounds such as nisoldipine. The whole-cell, L-type Ca2+current (ICa) measured in control myocytes was inhibited in a concentration-dependent manner by nisoldipine with an IC50of 66 nM and complete block at 250 nM. In contrast, ICain cells infected with AdCaV1.2DHPiwas inhibited by only 35% by 500 nM nisoldipine but completely blocked by 50 μM diltiazem. In order to study CaV1.2DHPiin isolation, myocytes infected with AdCaV1.2DHPiwere incubated with nisoldipine. Under this condition the cells expressed a large ICa(12 pA/pF) and displayed Ca2+transients during field stimulation. Furthermore, addition of 2 μM forskolin and 100 μM 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX), to stimulate protein kinase A, strongly increased IBain the AdCaV1.2DHPi-infected cells. A Cd2+-sensitive IBawas also recorded in cardiac fibroblasts infected with AdCaV1.2DHPi. Thus, expression of CaV1.2DHPiwill provide an important tool in studies of cardiac myocyte and fibroblast function.
