Familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (FHC) patients are advised to avoid strenuous exercise due to increased risk of arrhythmias. Mice expressing the human FHC-causing mutation R403Q in the myosin heavy chain gene (MYH6) recapitulate the human phenotype, including cytoskeletal disarray and increased arrhythmia susceptibility. Following in vivo administration of isoproterenol, mutant mice exhibited tachyarrhythmias, poor recovery and fatigue. Arrhythmias were attenuated with the β-blocker atenolol and protein kinase A inhibitor PKI. Mutant cardiac myocytes had significantly prolonged action potentials and triggered automaticity due to reduced repolarization reserve and connexin 43 expression. Isoproterenolshortenedcycle length, and escalated electrical instability. Surprisingly isoproterenol did not increase CaV1.2 current. We found alterations in CaV1.2-β1 adrenergic receptor colocalization assessed using super-resolution nanoscopy, and increased CaV1.2 phosphorylation in mutant hearts. Our results reveal for the first time that altered ion channel expression, co-localization and β-adrenergic receptor signaling associated with myocyte disarray contribute to electrical instability in the R403Q mutant heart.
