Article Title: Characterization of the HCN Interaction Partner TRIP8b/PEX5R in the Intracardiac Nervous System of TRIP8b-Deficient and Wild-Type Mice

doi: 10.3390/ijms22094772

Figure Lengend Snippet: TRIP8b-deficient mice have altered atrial electrophysiology. ( A ) In vitro electrophysiological measurements from Langendorff-perfused hearts show an increase of atrial refractory period (ARP) and atrioventricular-nodal refractory period (AVNRP) in TRIP8b-deficient mice, without changes in sino-nodal activity (sino-nodal recovery time, SNRT) and heart rate (HR). ( B ) Representative tracings are shown for wild-type and TRIP8b-deficient mice. A, atrial activity; atrium electrophysiological tracings from the atrium; V, ventricular activity; ventricle electrophysiological tracings from the ventricle; black arrowheads mark atrial or ventricular stimulation. ( C ) Ganglionic blockade with 0.5 mM hexamethonium leads to a reduction of AVNRP in TRIP8b-deficient mice. Data are presented as box plots (minimum to maximum, n = 5–11 per genotype) and were compared using an unpaired t -test or Mann–Whitney, as appropriate.

Article Title: Characterization of the HCN Interaction Partner TRIP8b/PEX5R in the Intracardiac Nervous System of TRIP8b-Deficient and Wild-Type Mice

doi: 10.3390/ijms22094772

Figure Lengend Snippet: Trip8b mRNA is present in the cardiac nervous system. ( A ) Exon 6–7 can be amplified in cDNA of ganglia-containing atrial tissue of wild-type but not of TRIP8b-deficient mice (left panel). Quantitative PCR analyses show that exon 8–9, 9–10, and 13–14 of Trip8b are still detectable in knockout mice. Data (normalized to Cdkn1b) are presented as individual data points with SEM ( n = 3, right panel) and were compared via one-way ANOVA followed by Sidaks’ multiple comparison test; ns, not significant. ( B ) Trip8b mRNA can be visualized with RNAscope in situ hybridization in neuronal cell bodies of cardiac ganglia. Black arrows in magnifications point to single neurons with Trip8b mRNAs. ( C ) Trip8b mRNA (black arrows) can be visualized with RNAscope in situ hybridization in cardiac nerves of wild-type mice.

Article Title: Characterization of the HCN Interaction Partner TRIP8b/PEX5R in the Intracardiac Nervous System of TRIP8b-Deficient and Wild-Type Mice

doi: 10.3390/ijms22094772

Figure Lengend Snippet: Trip8b mRNAs are detectable in the cardiac conduction system to a lower amount than in the intracardiac nervous system. ( A ) Sinus node and ( B ) atrioventricular node (AV node) were identified via hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining and Hcn4 RNAscope in situ hybridization. Subsequent sections treated with a probe specific for Trip8b show solitary mRNA spots (black arrows) surrounding the sinus node artery and in the AV node. Nuclei are counterstained with hematoxylin in blue. ( C ) The histogram shows the distribution of Trip8b mRNA spots per cell in the intracardiac nervous system (ICNS, nerves, and ganglia), sinus node, and AV node of wild-type and TRIP8b-deficient mice. Overall, 279–404 cells were analyzed for each region of interest per genotype, n = 2–3 images/genotype. ( D ) Trip8b in situ hybridization (red) detects mRNA in wild-type mice but also, to a lower amount, in knockout mice.

Article Title: Characterization of the HCN Interaction Partner TRIP8b/PEX5R in the Intracardiac Nervous System of TRIP8b-Deficient and Wild-Type Mice

doi: 10.3390/ijms22094772

Figure Lengend Snippet: TRIP8b protein is not detectable in the atrial lysates and the cardiac autonomic nervous system. ( A ) Western blot analysis of brain tissue as positive control detects specific bands for TRIP8b (NBP2-38840, Novusbio) already at 2.5 µg total protein. For the heart, 50 µg atrial or ventricular lysate did not show any specific bands, while HCN4 ( B ) is detectable in both genotypes. ( C ) Immunohistochemistry for TRIP8b (APR-070, Alomone Labs) on paraffin sections was established in the central nervous system, more specifically, the cerebral cortex. Neurons positive for TRIP8b are detectable in the wild-type animals but not cortex of TRIP8b-deficient animals. ( D ) To increase the sensitivity of detection, atrial whole-mount preparations (upper panel shows exemplary staining with αTH ab152, Merck Millipore) were stained and ganglia cut out for confocal microscopy (bottom panel with αTH ab76442, Abcam). No specific signal was obtained for TRIP8b (APR-070, Alomone Labs), and no differences were detectable between the genotypes.

Rectangle boxes depict the region of the slice used for quantification of the optical density. The arrows indicate increased perisomatic TRIP8b protein expression. C Quantification of TRIP8b protein expression from the perisomatic region to the distal dendritic region of CA1 from the dorsal hippocampus. D Representative dorsal hippocampal slices immunolabeled with antibody against HCN1. Rectangle boxes depict the region of the slice used for quantification of the optical density. The arrows indicate increased perisomatic HCN1 protein expression. E Quantification of HCN1 protein expression from the perisomatic region to the distal dendritic region of CA1 from the dorsal hippocampus. F , G We performed cell-attached voltage-clamp recordings. F Representative maximal h current traces in response to a 500-ms hyperpolarizing voltage step (−140 mV). G I h was significantly elevated in the dorsal CA1 neurons from corticosterone treatment compared with those from the vehicle-treated group. Dexamethasone reduced R in at RMP ( H ) and at −65 mV ( J ) in dorsal CA1 neurons. Corticosterone-induced decrease in R in at RMP ( H ) and at −65 mV ( J ) was blocked by RU 486, KT5720, and ZD7288. Changes in R in at RMP ( I ) and at −65 mV ( K ) were blocked by RU 486, KT5720, and ZD7288. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM.
