Experimental data accumulated over the past decade show the emerging importance of the late sodium current (INaL) for the function of both normal, and especially, failing myocardium, in which INaL is reportedly increased. While recent molecular studies identified the cardiac Na+ channel (NaCh) α subunit isoform (Nav1.5) as a major contributor to INaL, the molecular mechanisms underlying alterations of INaL in heart failure (HF) are still unknown. Here we tested the hypothesis that INaL is modulated by the NaCh auxiliary β subunits. tsA201 cells were transfected simultaneously with human Nav1.5 (former hH1a) and cardiac β1 or β2 subunits, and performed whole-cell patch-clamp experiments. We found that INaL decay kinetic was significantly slower in cells expressing α+β1 (time constant τ = 0.73 ± 0.16 s, n=14, mean ± SEM, P < 0.05) but remained unchanged in α+β2 (τ = 0.52 ± 0.09 s, n=5), compared to cells expressing Nav1.5 alone (τ = 0.54 ± 0.09 s, n=20). Also, β1 but not β2 dramatically increased INaL relative to the maximum peak current, INaT, (2.3 ± 0.48%, n=14 vs. 0.48 ± 0.07%, n=6, P < 0.05, respectively) and produced rightward shift of the steady-state availability curve. We conclude that auxiliary β1 subunit modulates INaL, produced by the human cardiac Na+ channel Nav1.5 by slowing its decay and increasing INaL amplitude relative to INaT. Because expression of Nav1.5 reportedly decreases but β1 remains unchanged in chronic HF, the relatively higher expression of β1 may contribute to known INaL increase in HF via the modulation mechanism found in this study.
