AC9 deletion impairs isoproterenol-induced regulation of IKs. IKs currents in ventricular myocytes of IKs (A) and IKs-AC9KO (B) mice in before (control, left panels) and after perfusion of 1 µM isoproterenol and 1 µM okadaic acid (ISO, right panels). Currents were elicited by applying depolarizing potentials to various levels ranging from −80 to +80 mV for 2 s from a holding potential of −40 mV. I-V relationships for tail current in IKs (C) and IKs-AC9KO (D) before (control) and after 1 µM isoproterenol and 1 µM okadaic acid (ISO). (E) Shift of V50 induced by 1 µM isoproterenol and 1 µM okadaic acid perfusion of myocytes from IKs and IKs-AC9KO mice. Statistics: t-test, * p <0.05, (Mann-Whitney), number of cells is indicated on the figure for each condition.
