The aim of this study was to elucidate the effects of regulator of G-protein signaling 5 (Rgs5), a negative regulator of G-protein-mediated signaling, on cardiac repolarization and arrhythmia in mice. Wild-type and Rgs5(-/-) mice were subjected to in vivo, in vitro, and cellular electrophysiological experiments. Rgs5(-/-) mouse hearts showed significantly prolonged cardiac repolarization, including prolonged QT interval and action potential duration (APD). Consistent with these findings, measurement of K+ currents in ventricular myocytes of Rgs5(-/-) mice revealed significant reduction of the outward voltage-dependent K+ currents, including I-peak, I-to, I-Kur, and I-ss, compared to that in wild-type mice. Transcript and protein expression levels of Kv4.2, Kv4.3, Kv1.5, and Kv2.1 were downregulated in Rgs5(-/-) mouse ventricles compared with those in wild-type mice (P
