Ekaterina Subbotina, Nori Williams, Barbara Sampson, Yingying Tang, and William Coetzee
Supplemental Methods
Study population, genetic analysis and variant interpretation
Variants selected for functional analysis were identified through molecular analysis performed in sudden
cardiac death cases by the New York City Office of Chief Medical Examiner (NYC-OCME) by the in-house
Molecular Genetics Laboratory, accredited by the college of American Pathologists (CAP). At the NYC-
OCME, forensic investigations in sudden death include: scene investigation and family interview (by
certified physician assistants), complete gross autopsy, cardiac pathology and neuropathology
examinations, toxicological tests, microbiological tests (in infants), metabolic screen tests (in infants),
and medical record reviews. Cases defined as SUD had negative or unremarkable results from the
studies described above. A total of 296 SUD cases investigated between 2001 and 2014 met these
criteria and we have recently reported the results of genetic testing of 89 cardiac disease genes in this
cohort. 1 Between October 20th, 2015 and April 1st, 2016 we have performed prospective testing of an
additional 34 SUD cases using a panel that now comprised of 95 cardiac disease genes (Table S1), which
now includes additional genes, such as TRPM4, disease markers for Noonan syndrome (PTPN11),
cardiomyopathy (CALR3, JPH2, NPPA, PRDM16), and Tetralogy of Fallot (GJA5). The TRPM4 gene was
analyzed in both retrospective and prospective SUD cases (a total of 330). As in our prior study, variant
interpretation followed the 2015 ACMG-AMP guidelines and the maximum credible allele frequency for
a rare variant was set at 0.001%. 1 This study is exempt from human subject research approval
requirements because cadaver specimens were used for genetic analysis. NYC-OCME approved this
study for diagnosis of the underlying causes of SUD.
cDNAs and site-directed mutagenesis
We used a commercial service (GenScript, Piscataway, NJ) to a synthesize the human full-length coding
region (CDS) of TRPM4b (Genbank accession number NM_017636.3) in pcDNA3.1(+). Site directed
mutagenesis was also performed by GenScript. The constructs were verified by Sanger sequencing.
Cell culture and transfection
Human Embryonic Kidney (HEK) 293 cells were cultured in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM),
supplemented with heat-inactivated 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and penicillin-streptomycin (Thermo
Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA). Cells were grown in 35 mm culture dishes until 70-80% confluence was
reached and co-transfected using Lipofectamine 2000 (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA) with 1.8 µg of
TRPM4 and 0.2 µg of a GFP plasmid, to allow visualization of successfully transfected cells for patch
clamping. In case of heterozygous state simulation, HEK293 cells were co-transfected with 0.9 µg of WT
TRPM4, 0.9 µg of missense variant, and 0.2 µg of a GFP cDNAs. Cells were transferred to coverslips the
next day and used for experimentation at 48 h after transfection.
Semi-quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction
Total RNA was isolated (RNaesy Mini kit, Qiagen, MD, USA) and first-strand cDNA synthesis was
performed (Superscript III, ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) using 1 µg of total RNA and random
hexonucleotides following the manufacturer’s protocol. Semi-quantitative real-time RT-PCR (qRT-PCR)
was performed with 1 µL of reverse transcription reaction and 10 pmol of gene-specific primers using
PowerUP SYBR Green Master Mix (ThermoFisher Scientific). The PCR (StepOne™ Real-Time PCR System,
Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA) Cycling conditions consisted of an initial denaturation 15 s step at
95 °C, followed by 40 cycles with a 60 s annealing/extension step at 60 °C. The amplicon quality was
verified by inspecting the thermal denaturation curve. The threshold cycle (CT) was determined by
StepOne Software v2.1 (Applied Biosystems) and semi-quantitative analysis was performed using the -
∆∆CT method, using GAPDH as a reference. For TRPM4 we used primers 5’-GATGCACACACCACGGAGAA-
3’ and 5’-AGAGCCGGAGGAAATTGCTG-3’, whereas primers 5’-CACTAGGCGCTCACTGTTCT-3’ and 5’-
GACCAAATCCGTTGACTCCG-3’ were used for GAPDH.
Western blot
Transiently transfected HEK293 cells were harvested using RIPA buffer (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO)
supplemented with HaltTM protease inhibitor cocktail (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA). Cells
were homogenized on ice (3 bouts of 15 pulses at 50 % strength) using a Microson XL sonicator (Qsonic,
Newtown, CT) and centrifuged for 15 min (14,000 x g at 4 °C). The protein concentration of the
supernatant was measured with a BCA Protein Assay Kit (ThermoFisher Scientific), aliquoted and stored
at -80 °C. Before use, 5 µg protein was mixed with sample buffer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham,
MA) containing 5 % β-mercaptoethanol and kept at room temperature prior to resolving with a 4-20 %
polyacrylamide gradient gel. The fractionated proteins were transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride
(PVDF) membranes (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA) using a semi-dry system Trans-Blot Turbo (Bio-Rad, Hercules,
CA). Blocking was performed with 5% fat free milk in TBS-Tween (0.01%) for 1 h, followed by incubation
with primary antibodies overnight at 4°C and secondary antibodies, dissolved in blocking buffer, for 1h
at room temperature. Detection was performed with chemiluminesence using SuperSignal West Dura
(Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) and photographic documentation. Antibodies used were anti-
TRPM4 (1:5,000 dilution, clone OTI10H5, OriGene, Rockville, MD), anti-GAPDH (1:5,000 dilution, clone
G8795) and horseradish peroxidase conjugated AffiniPure donkey anti-mouse IgG (Jackson Immuno
Research Labs, West Grove, PA).
Surface biotinylation assay
Transfected HEK293 cells were washed twice with ice-cold Hank's balanced salt solution and biotinylated
for 30 min using PBS containing 0.25 mg/mL of EZ Link Sulfo-NHS-SS-Biotin (Pierce Thermo Fisher
Scientific). Excess biotin was removed by washing twice with PBS and quenched by 5 min incubation
with 100 mM glycine in PBS. Cells were scraped from the dish and washed twice with TBS by
centrifugation (5 min at 1000 x g). The pelleted cells were lysed with 100 µl RIPA buffer (Sigma-Aldrich,
St. Louis, MO) supplemented with HALT Protease Inhibitor Cocktail (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham,
MA). All steps were performed at 4°C. The biotinylated proteins were mixed with 2x Laemmli sample
buffer (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA) with 5% β-Mercaptoethanol at room temperature for 1 h and analyzed by
Western blotting.
Electrophysiology
TRPM4 currents were recorded at room temperature using patch clamp techniques (Axopatch 200B;
Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA). Patch electrodes were manufactured (Zeitz puller, Germany) using
borosilicate glass (1.5 mm OD; World Precision Instruments, Sarasota, FL). Cells were initially kept in
Tyrode’s solution, consisting of (in mmol/L): 135 NaCl, 5.4 KCl, 0.33 NaH2PO4, 1 MgCl2, 10 HEPES, 1.8
CaCl2, 10 glucose, and adjusted to pH 7.4 with NaOH. Pipettes were filled with (in mmol/L): 145 NaCl, 1
MgCl2, 10 glucose, 10 HEPES, 1 CaCl2 and pH adjusted to 7.4 with 2N NaOH. Excised patches were
analyzed with two ‘intracellular’ bath solutions that were applied using a rapid solution exchange system
(RCS-160, Bio-Logic Science Instruments, Seyssinet-Pariset, France). The nominally Ca2+-free solution
consisted of (in mmol/L): 145 NaCl, 1 MgCl2, 10 glucose, 10 HEPES, 1 EGTA. A Ca2+-containing solution
was prepared by addition of CaCl2 to the nominally Ca2+-free solution to obtain a calculated free Ca2+
activity of 1 mM, using Maxchelator.2 The pH of the bath solutions was adjusted to 7.2 with 2 M NaOH.
The patch was excised at a membrane potential of +80 mV (pipette potential of -80 mV) and then set to
0 mV when steady state conditions were achieved (typically 30-60 s). Current-voltage relationships were
constructed with a voltage clamp protocol that consisted of 500 ms voltage steps between -80 mV and
+80 mV in 20 mV increments. Data were corrected to reflect the membrane potential and current by
inverting the pipette potential and direction of pipette currents. In all cases, current signals were low-
pass filtered with an 8-pole low-pass filter with a Bessel response at a -3 dB point of 1 kHz. Analog
signals were digitized at 3 kHz DigiData 1550A (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA) using pClamp v10.5
software (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA). Data were not corrected for liquid junction potentials,
which was calculated to be -0.4 mV.
RNA-seq analysis
Paired read RNA-Sequencing data from non-failing adult human heart were obtained from the Gene
Expression Omnibus (GEO accession number GSE71613; samples GSM1841251, GSM1841259,
GSM1841261 and GSM1841263). RNA-seq reads from human fetal heart were also obtained (GSE68279;
samples GSM1666976 and GSM1666977). Sequenced reads were trimmed for adaptor sequence and for
low-quality sequence, then mapped to the human hg19 whole genome using STAR on the NYU Phoenix
High Performance Cluster computing facility. Output BAM files were sorted by coordinates and gene
counts were produced. Index files were generated with Samtools and data were visualized with the
Integrated Genomics Viewer with splice junction tracks enabled.
Data analysis
Immunoblots were digitized by scanning and analyzed using ImageJ software.3 Patch clamp data were
analyzed using Clampfit 10.5. (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA) and statistical analysis was performed
with SigmaPlot 12 (Systat Software, San Jose, CA). For comparisons between two groups, we used the
Student’s t-test. Multiple group comparison was performed using a one-way analysis of variance
(ANOVA), followed by post hoc analysis using the Dunnett's test. Statistical significance was assumed at
p < 0.05.
