ETV1 regulates the diversity of sodium channel biophysical properties between ventricular, atrial, and Purkinje myocytes. Whole-cell patch clamp data from dissociated cardiomyocytes (ventricular, right atrial, Purkinje myocytes) using 10–12 week-old Etv1 WT (Etv1flox/flox) and Etv1 cKO (Etv1flox/flox, Myh6-Cre) mice in a Cntn2-EGFP background (n = 4). (A) Comparison of sodium current–voltage (I–V) relationship. Maximum conductance was calculated to assess significant differences among experimental groups. (B) Voltage dependence of steady-state activation. Voltage at half activation (V0.5, activation) was calculated to assess significant differences among experimental groups. (C) Voltage dependence of steady-state inactivation. Voltage at half inactivation (V0.5, inactivation) was calculated to assess significant differences among experimental groups. (D) Time course of recovery from inactivation. Tau of recovery (τrecovery) was calculated to assess significant differences among experimental groups. Number of cells analyzed per cell type (ventricle, right atria, Purkinje) included in each graph legend. Patch clamp protocol diagrams are included for each endpoint. Data represent mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05, 1-way ANOVA.
