Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Sick sinus syndrome (SSS) is associated with loss of HCN4 (hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated potassium channel 4) function in the cardiac conduction system. The underlying mechanism for SSS remains elusive. This study is to investigate how mitochondrial oxidative stress induces HCN4 downregulation associated with in sick sinus syndrome. METHODS AND RESULTS: Trx2lox/lox mice were...
