To examine whether the two components of the voltage-activated outward K+ current, an initially rapidly inactivating component (Ito,1) and a slowly inactivating sustained component (Isus), in human atrial myocytes are distinct currents differentially regulated, we studied their behavior during serum-induced growth of cultured myocytes. Currents were recorded in whole cell patch clamped myocytes. After 1 wk of culture (day 8), membrane capacitance was twice the value in freshly dissociated myocytes (178.7 +/- 23 vs. 83.1 +/- 5.5 pF; P < 0.001). Ito,1 density did not differ from that in freshly dissociated myocytes (at +40 mV: 4.38 +/- 0.8 vs. 3.71 +/- 0.6 pA/pF), whereas that of Isus was markedly increased (at +40 mV: 9.76 +/- 2 vs. 2.21 +/- 0.29 pA/pF; P < 0.001). After inactivation of Ito,1 by a prepulse, sustained depolarization elicited in cultured myocytes an Isus with a density of 10.22 +/- 1.18 pA/pF and an apparent tail current reversal potential of -73.5 +/- 3.2 mV, indicating high K+ selectivity. Isus was highly sensitive to 4-aminopyridine (55.4 +/- 4.4% inhibition in 50 microM) and to D-600 (with a concentration inhibiting 50% of maximal response of 34.2 x 10(-6) M). Addition of 5-10 nM staurosporine at day 3 prevented cell growth and reduced Ito,1 density but not the increase in Isus density, which was inhibited by 10 microM staurosporine. Our results indicate that Ito,1 and Isus are regulated independently during in vitro myocyte growth in human atrial myocytes and that the increase in Isus density is not mediated by a protein kinase C-dependent pathway.
