Abstract
Long QT (LQT) type 2 (LQT2) is caused by HERG mutation. L539fs/47 encodes a truncated protein, and its mechanisms in HERG mutation are unknown. HERG mutation plasmids were overexpressed in HEK293T cells, respectively, followed by analyzing lysates with Western blot. Transfected HEK293T cells were treated with or without N-acetyl-l-leucyl-l-leucyl-l-norleucinal (ALLN) and Propranolol (Prop) at 24 or 48 h. HERG-WT, HERG-A561V, WT/A561V, HERG-L539fs/47, WT/L539fs/47, and Calnexin (CNX)/Calreticulin (CRT) protein expression and their interactions were detected by Western blot and immunoprecipitation. Each group with HERG currents (Ikr) were detected by Patch-clamp technique. Treated with ALLN, the expression of mature HERG protein and the CNX/CRT protein increased. The interaction of HERG-A561V and WT/A561V protein with the chaperone CNX/CRT increased significantly. The maximum peak currents and tail currents density increased by 70% and 73%, respectively, while maximal peak currents density (24%) and tail currents density (19%) were slight increased in WT-HERG cells. Treated with Prop, the expression and interaction of mature HERG and chaperones CNX/CRT had no difference in each group. The maximal currents and tail currents densit...Continue Reading
