Conventional protein kinase C isoforms and cross‐activation of protein kinase A regulate cardiac Na+ current

Published 2001 in FEBS Letters

ABSTRACT

We tested the hypothesis that specific isoforms of protein kinase C (PKC) are responsible for modulation of Na+ current (I Na) derived from the human cardiac Na+ channel using activators and inhibitors selective for specific PKCs. Experimental results demonstrated that I Na suppression was mediated by activation of conventional PKCs (cPKCs) and possibly resulted from channel internalization. In the presence of cPKC inhibition, phorbol ester application unexpectedly increased Na+ current, an effect eliminated by inhibition of protein kinase A. These findings demonstrate complex modulation of cardiac I Na by protein kinases and provide further evidence that PKC isoforms have distinct protein targets.
