Figure Lengend Snippet: Reduced in vivo and SAN cell rates in N27A mutant mice. A. Example telemetry ECG recordings (at baseline and after ISO injection) from N27A mutant and WT-Pln mice, scale bar indicates 200 ms. B. Summary data for ECG telemetry recorded heart rates at baseline and in response to ISO stimulation in WT-Pln, N27A and littermate control Pln−/− mice. The number of mice used is indicated in the corresponding bars. *** p<0.001, baseline vs. after ISO, paired Student’s t-test. +++ p<0.001, N27A vs. WT-Pln or Pln−/−, ANOVA, holm-sidak test. C. Activity related heart rate changes in N27A and Pln−/− and WT-Pln control mice, n=4-20. D. SAN cells rates at baseline and in response to ISO were significantly reduced in SAN cells isolated from N27A mice. Example action potential recording traces (at baseline and after ISO application) from SAN cells isolated from WT-Pln (upper), Pln−/− (middle) and N27A (lower) mice. The horizontal bars mark 0 mV. E. Summary data for rates at baseline and in response to increasing ISO concentrations from SAN cells isolated from N27A, Pln−/− and WT-Pln mice. n=6-14 cells/data point. F. Reduced SR Ca2+ content at baseline and after ISO stimulation in SAN cells isolated from N27A mice. The summary SR Ca2+ content data at baseline and after ISO stimulation in SAN cells from WT (C57) and N27A mice. The number of SAN cells studied is indicated by numerals in the corresponding bars. The data for WT (C57) presented here are the same data in shown in Figure 3F. ** p<0.01 baseline vs ISO, +++ p<0.001, N27A vs WT, unpaired Student’s t-test.
