Abstract
As a calcium channel blocker, diltiazem acts mainly on the voltage-gated calcium channels, Ca(v)1.2, for its beneficial effects in cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, angina and/or supraventricular arrhythmias. However, the effects of diltiazem on different isoforms of Ca(v)1.2 channels expressed in heart and vascular smooth muscles remain to be investigated. Here, we characterized the effects of diltiazem on the splice variants of Ca(v)1.2 channels, predominant in cardiac and vascular smooth muscles. Cardiac and smooth muscle isoforms of Ca(v)1.2 channels were expressed in human embryonic kidney cells and their electrophysiological properties were characterized using whole-cell patch-clamp techniques. Under closed-channel and use-dependent block (0.03 Hz), cardiac splice variant Ca(v)1.2CM was less sensitive to diltiazem than two major smooth muscle splice variants, Ca(v)1.2SM and Ca(v)1.2b. Ca(v)1.2CM has a more positive half-inactivation potential than the smooth muscle channels, and diltiazem shifted it less to negative potential. Additionally, the current decay was slower in Ca(v)1.2CM channels. When we modified alternatively spliced exons of cardiac Ca(v)1.2CM channels into smooth muscle exons, we found that all...Continue Reading
