AbstractObjective: If, encoded by the hyperpolarization-activated, cyclic nucleotide-modulated (HCN) channel gene family, modulates cardiac pacing. During cardiac pacing, changes in membrane potential are rapid, preventing the very slow HCN channels from reaching equilibrium. Here, we examined the properties of HCN channels under non-equilibrium conditions to shed insight into how different HCN isoforms contribute to cardiac pacing. Methods and results: HCN1, 2 and 4 channels were heterologously expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes or mammalian Cos7 cells and subjected to voltage clamp. We found that HCN1 channel activation (V1/2) depended strongly on the holding potential (VH) for short (100 ms; V1/2 = - 118 mV, - 78 mV and - 19 mV for VH = + 70, - 75 and - 140 mV, respectively, in Xenopus oocytes) but not long (300-ms) test-pulses, hinting that shifts of V 1/2 under non-equilibrium conditions may alter the impact of I f in different phases of the cardiac circle. Consistent with this notion, when a train of SA nodal-like action potentials was applied in voltage-clamp experiments, HCN1 exhibited pronounced current-voltage (IV)-hysteresis. Using computational modeling, we demonstrate that the intrinsically sluggish HCN1 activation kinetics underlie their IV-hysteretic behavior and do not hinder the ability to modulate cardiac pacing. By contrast, HCN4 did not exhibit IV-hysteresis. This difference can be attributed to the relatively large activation time constant and markedly delayed onsets of time-dependent HCN4 currents. Indeed, HCN2 channels, which have intermediate activation time constants and delays, displayed and intermediate hysteretic phenotype. Conclusion: We conclude that non-equilibrium properties of HCN channels contribute to cardiac pacing. These results provide insight for tuning the firing rate of endogenous and induced pacemakers using engineered HCN constructs with distinct gating phenotypes. © 2005 European Society of Cardiology.
