Abstract
Changes in the expression of hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide (HCN)-gated channels and I(f) currents during the differentiation of embryonic stem cells into cardiac cells remain unknown. We examined changes of HCN genes in expression and function during the differentiation of Nkx2.5-positive cardiac precursor cells derived from mouse ES cells using cell sorting, RTPCR, immunofluorescence and whole cell patch-clamp techniques. Cs(+)-induced inhibition of automaticity and transcription of HCN genes increased during differentiation. Expressions of Nkx2.5, a marker of cardiac progenitor cell, and Flk1, a marker of hemangioblast, were mutually exclusive. Messenger RNA and proteins encoded by HCN1 and 4 genes were predominantly observed in Nkx2.5-positive cells on day 15, although Flk1-positive cells did not express genes of the HCN family on that day. Cs(+)-induced prolongation of the cycle of spontaneous action potentials and I(f) currents were predominantly observed on day 15. These results suggested that a fraction of Nkx2.5-positive cardiac precursor cells was committed to pacemaking cells expressing I(f) channels predominantly encoded by HCN 1 and 4 genes.
