학위논문(박사) -- 서울대학교대학원 : 의과대학 의과학과, 2022.2. 김성준.Despite distinctive functional and anatomical difference, a precise understanding of the cardiac interventricular difference in excitation-contraction (E-C) coupling mechanisms is still lacking. Here, we compared the results from the right and left cardiomyocytes (RVCM and LVCM) of rats. Whole-cell patch clamp technique, IonOptix system and fura-2 fluorimetry were used to measure electrical properties (action potential and ionic currents), single cell contractility and cytosolic Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i), respectively. Myofilament proteins were analyzed by Immunoblotting. RVCMs showed significantly shorter action potential duration (APD) and higher density of transient outward K+ current (Ito). However, ...
