AbstractVoltage–gated calcium channels are key components in cardiac
electrophysiology. We demonstrate that Cav2.3 is expressed in mouse and
human heart and that mice lacking the Cav2.3 voltage–gated calcium channel
exhibit severe alterations in cardiac function. Amplified cDNA fragments
from murine heart and single cardiomyocytes reveal the expression of three
different Cav2.3 splice variants. The ablation of Cav2.3 was found to be accompanied
by a compensatory upregulation of the Cav3.1 T–type calcium channel,
while other voltage–gated calcium channels remained unaffected. Telemetric
ECG recordings from Cav2.3 deficient mice displayed subsidiary
escape rhythm, altered atrial activation patterns, atrioventricular conduction
disturbances and alteration in QRS–morphology. Furthermore, time domain
analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) in Cav2.3(–|–) mice exhibited a significant increase in heart rate as well as in the coefficient of variance (CV)
compared to control mice. Administration of atropin/propranolol revealed
that increased heart rate was due to enhanced sympathetic tonus and that partial
decrease of CV in Cav2.3(–|–) mice after autonomic block was in accordance
with a complete abolishment of 2nd degree atrioventricular block. However,
escape rhythms, atrial activation disturbances and QRS–dysmorphology
remained unaffected, indicating that these are intrinsic cardiac features in
Cav2.3(–|–) mice. We conclude that the expression of Cav2.3 is essential for
normal impulse generation and conduction in murine heart.
