The voltage-gated sodium channels play a key role in the generation and propagation of the cardiac action potential. Emerging data indicate that the Na(v)1.8 channel, encoded by the SCN10A gene, is a modulator of cardiac conduction and variation in the gene has been associated with arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation (AF) and Brugada syndrome (BrS). The voltage gated sodium channels contain a calmodulin (CaM)-binding IQ domain involved in channel slow inactivation, we here investigated the role of CaM regulation of Na(v)1.8 channel function, and showed that CaM enhanced slow inactivation of the Na(v)1.8 channel and hyperpolarized steady-state inactivation curve of sodium currents. The effects of CaM on the channel gating were disrupted in the Na(v)1.8 channel truncated IQ domain. We studied Na(v)1.8 IQ domain mutations associated with AF and BrS, and found that a BrS-linked mutation (R1863Q) reduced the CaM-induced hyperpolarization shift, AF-linked mutations (R1869C and R1869G) disrupted CaM-induced enhanced inactivation, and effects of CaM on both development and recovery from slow inactivation were attenuated in all pathogenic mutations. Our findings indicate a role of CaM in the regulation of Na(v)1.8 channel function in cardiac arrhythmias. Published by Elsevier Inc.
