AbstractBackground - Purkinje cells (PCs) comprise the most distal component of the cardiac

conduction system and their unique electrophysiological properties and the anatomic complexity

of the Purkinje fiber network may account for the prominent role these cells play in the genesis

of various arrhythmic syndromes.

Methods and Results – Differential transcriptional profiling of murine Purkinje fibers and

working ventricular myocytes was performed to identify novel genes expressed in PCs. The

most highly enriched transcript in Purkinje fibers encoded Contactin-2 (Cntn2), a cell adhesion

molecule critical for neuronal patterning and ion channel clustering. Endogenous expression of

Cntn2 in the murine ventricle was restricted to a subendocardial network of myocytes that also

express -galactosidase in CCS-lacZ transgenic mice and the connexin40 gap junction protein.

Both Cntn2-lacZ knockin mice and Cntn2-EGFP BAC transgenic reporter mice confirmed

expression of Cntn2 in the Purkinje fiber network, as did immunohistochemical staining of single

canine Purkinje fibers. Whole-cell patch-clamp recordings and measurements of Ca2+ transients

in Cntn2-EGFP+ cells revealed electrophysiological properties indicative of PCs and distinctive

from those of cardiac myocytes, including prolonged action potentials and frequent

afterdepolarizations.

Conclusions - Cntn2 is a novel marker of the specialized cardiac conduction system.

Endogenous expression of Cntn2 as well as Cntn2-dependent transcriptional reporters provides a

new tool through which Purkinje cell biology and pathophysiology can now more readily be

deciphered. Expression of a contactin family member within the CCS may provide a

mechanistic basis for patterning of the conduction system network and the organization of ion

channels within Purkinje cells.

Introduction

Purkinje fibers (PFs) are the most distal component of the cardiac conduction system (CCS), first

described by Purkinje in 1839 as gray, flat, gelatin-like ramifications, running under the

endocardium1. Some seventy years later, Tawara more fully characterized the Purkinje system,

identifying the left (anterior, septal and posterior) and right fascicular strands, which served to

connect the distal PFs to the bundle branches proper2. Tawara was also the first to correctly

suggest the functional role of the Purkinje system in rapidly transmitting the electrical wave of

excitation to the ventricular muscle.

PFs appear to play a prominent role in the genesis of ventricular arrhythmias, (reviewed in 3). PF

and anterior or posterior left fascicular triggers have been implicated in the initiation of

monomorphic ventricular tachycardia in post myocardial infarction patients, as demonstrated by

cure after focal ablation of Purkinje fiber or fascicular potentials4-6. PF-based triggers have also

been described in patients with ventricular tachycardia associated with dilated forms of

cardiomyopathy7, as well as idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (VF), in which ablation of

premature beats arising from the PF-network resulted in significant reductions in the recurrence

of VF8. PF-dependent triggering of arrhythmias has also been proposed in inherited syndromes

including catecholaminergic polymorphic VT9, Brugada syndrome and long QT syndrome10.

Despite growing evidence implicating PFs in ventricular arrhythmogenesis, our understanding of

the cellular mechanisms underlying PF-dependent diseases is hampered by the lack of

knowledge of the developmental biology of individual Purkinje cells (PCs), their patterning into

a network of highly coupled cells, as well as their adaptive and maladaptive responses to

pathologic stimuli. To some extent, this gap in knowledge reflects the anatomical complexity of

the PF-network, which includes branching cells that couple not only with neighboring PCs, but

arrhythmias, (r(r(r(r(r(r(ree

also with working myocytes at Purkinje-muscle junctions. Furthermore, PFs are thought to

include cells with functional and structural heterogeneity, such as the transitional J-cells11.

In recent years a number of “conduction-system” markers have been reported12-14. These include

transcription factors, gap junctional and ion channel associated proteins, with different

specificities and different roles in the development and function of the CCS. However, the

majority of these molecular markers, including HF-1b15 and Kcne116 preferentially identify cells

of the proximal CCS and to date, only two, the CCS-lacZ gene (resulting from insertion of an

Engrailed-2 reporter gene into the Slco3a1 locus17, 18) and gja5/connexin40 (Cx40), are robustly

expressed in PFs.

In the developing mouse ventricle, CCS-lacZ expression is first observed in trabecular

myocardium at embryonic day 10.5, a domain that appears to be the primary source of cells

contributing to the developing PF network. By E13.5 the reporter gene’s expression pattern is

similar to the neonate, with the appearance of a more discrete subendocardial fiber network19.

Expression is also observed in other components of the CCS, including both the sinoatrial node

(SAN) and atrioventricular node (AVN), as well as the His bundle and bundle branches20.

Unfortunately, expression of -galactosidase in the CCS-lacZ strain is the result of complex

insertional mutation associated with substantial genomic rearrangement, complicating

mechanistic studies of CCS-specific transcriptional regulation18.

Cx40 is a gap junction protein expressed in the developing and adult murine heart21 and Cx40-

EGFP reporter mice have also been used to visualize the ventricular conduction system 22. Cx40

expression is observed in other components of the CCS (AVN, His, Bundle Branches), but is

also abundantly expressed in atrial myocytes and coronary arteries. Examination of Cx40

deficient murine models has provided insight into its important role in development and function

of the CCS. Loss of function of Cx40 results in an increased incidence of cardiac malformations

(double-outlet right ventricle, dilated and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy)23 as well as conduction

defects24. Interestingly, sequence variants within the human GJA5 locus have been described in

association with Tetralogy of Fallot25.

There are also reports12, 14 describing PF-enriched expression of two cardiac homeobox

transcription factors: Nkx2-5 and Homeodomain only protein (Hop). Nkx2-5+/- mice are

characterized by ventricular conduction defects specifically attributable to a hypoplastic PF

network, thought to be the result of impaired postnatal differentiation of myocytes12. However,

Nkx2-5 is broadly expressed in many cell-types within the developing and adult heart, which

diminishes its utility as a PF-specific marker. Hop is a cardiac homeobox transcription factor

which acts downstream of Nkx2-514, 26. Hop-lacZ knockin mice show broad reporter gene

expression in the developing heart, which becomes somewhat more restricted to the atria and

proximal CCS in the adult.

Accordingly, with the goal of developing additional specific markers of the distal CCS that

might be useful to facilitate studies elucidating the molecular circuitry regulating CCS

specification, patterning and function, we performed transcriptional profiling of the murine PF

network.

(backcrossed into the CD-1 background for at least nine generations)19 and Cntn2-lacZ knockin

mice (on a C57BL/6x129SvEv mixed background)27 have been previously described. Cntn2-

EGFP BAC transgenic mice [Tg(Cntn2-EGFP)344sat] were obtained from MMRRC and

maintained on a CD-1 background.

Microarray Profiling. Purkinje fiber (PF) enriched samples were obtained by micro-dissecting

the subendocardial layer of 6-8 month old CCS-lacZ murine hearts and PF depleted samples

were micro-dissected from the sub-epicardial layer of the ventricular walls.

One-step Reverse Transcription and Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) and

Quantitative real time RT-PCR (QRT-PCR). Total RNA was processed using QuantiTect

SYBR Green One-Step RT-PCR kit (Qiagen) or One-Step SuperScript III (Invitrogen). In QRT-

PCR experiments quantification of transcripts was performed using GAPDH as an internal

reference and the 2- CT method 28. For gene specific primers see Data Supplement.

Isolation of adult canine Purkinje Fibers (PFs) and individual Purkinje Cells (PCs). PCs

were enzymatically dispersed from PFs of the canine heart as previously described29, 30.

Immunohistochemistry and Immunocytochemistry, Antibodies. Mouse hearts or canine PFs

were fixed in 4% PFA, then equilibrated in 10% sucrose and embedded in OCT. Cryosections,

6-10 M thick were processed for staining with individual antibodies as detailed in the Data

Supplement.

Electrophysiological recordings in isolated ventricular myocytes. Ventricular myocytes were

isolated using an established enzymatic digestion protocol31 yielding to 60-80% rod-shaped,

calcium-tolerant myocytes. Action potential duration (APD) was measured at 90% and 50% of

repolarization (APD90 and APD50). DADs were defined as phase 4 positive (depolarizing)

deflections of the membrane potential. EADs were defined as positive (depolarizing)

oscillations occurring during phase 2 or 3 of action potential.

Ca2+ imaging. Isolated myocytes from Cntn2-EGFP transgenic mice were loaded with the

membrane-permeant Ca2+ indicator dye Rhod-2/AM and imaged by confocal microscopy (Leica

SP5). In some experiments, the Ca2+ transients were measured by microfluorimetry (IonOptix,

Milton, MA) using Indo-1/AM.

Statistics. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. Values were compared with a two-tailed t-test

and P values less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant.

Results

Cntn2 Transcripts are Preferentially Expressed in Cardiac Purkinje Fibers. Using CCS-

lacZ hearts, in which the distal conduction system is readily visualized, we performed

comparative transcriptional profiling of mRNA prepared from Purkinje fiber (PF)-enriched

subendocardial fractions harvested distal to the bundle branches proper and from PF-deficient

subepicardial layers (Fig. 1A). Enrichment of PFs was confirmed by XGal staining of dissected

tissue (Fig. 1B Top) and by RT-PCR, which showed preferential expression of transcripts

encoding both -galactosidase as well as connexin40 (Fig. 1B Bottom). Comparison of global

gene expression patterns from three independent datasets of PF-enriched and PF-depleted

samples by microarray analysis (Dataset Supplement) identified 163 probe sets that were

significantly up-regulated (5.87-1.33 fold increase) and 251 that were down-regulated (0.77-0.26

fold decrease). The transcript encoding Contactin2 (Cntn2; UniGene Mm.34775), showed the

highest level of enrichment (5.87). RT-PCR was used to confirm the microarray results

identifying Cntn2 expression in cardiac PFs (Fig. 1C). Of note, two members of the Iroquois

gene family, Irx5 (4.18) and Irx2 (2.89), were also enriched in PFs, as was Sema3b, a putative

molecular partner of contactins. Interestingly, Nav1.8/SCN10A, which encodes the -subunit of

a TTX-resistant sodium channel isoform, was also enriched in the PF fraction (2.15). Sequence

variation in the SCN10A gene has recently been associated with human conduction system

disease32.

Cntn2 is Expressed on the Sarcolemma of Murine Purkinje Cells. We performed

immunohistochemical staining to specifically localize expression of Cntn2 in the heart.

Cryosections of adult murine hearts were co-stained for Cntn2 as well as the cardiac-specific

marker sarcomeric actinin, which revealed that Cntn2+ cells belong to the cardiac lineage (Fig.

2A Left). Co-staining of CCS-lacZ hearts for Cntn2 and -galactosidase ( Gal) or staining of

serial sections for Cntn2 or XGal, confirmed that Cntn2+ cells were also Gal+ (Fig. 2B Left) or

XGal+ (Fig. 2B Right). Furthermore, these images also demonstrated that the Cntn2 positive

cells were localized just beneath the thin endocardial cell layer (Fig. 2A Right), similar to what

we previously reported using the CCS-lacZ marker20. Taken together, these data indicate that

Cntn2 is specifically expressed in adult murine PFs.

Cntn2 is Expressed in the Proximal and Distal CCS. To more fully examine the spatial

pattern of Cntn2 in the adult murine heart, we utilized two independent reporter gene mice:

Cntn2-lacZ knockin mice and Cntn2-EGFP BAC transgenic mice. Examination of the

endocardial surfaces of the ventricular cavities of whole mount Cntn2-lacZ hearts (Fig. 3A Top,

Left) and Cntn2-EGFP (Fig. 3A Top, Right) hearts revealed dense networks of XGal+ and EGFP+

fluorescent PFs, which were also observed after sectioning (Fig. 3A Bottom). Detailed histologic

examination of Cntn2-EGFP hearts also demonstrated expression in cells of the sinoatrial node

(SAN; Fig. 3B Top)33, including cells close to the crista terminalis in the posterior part of the

SAN; at the base of the vena cava in the central part of the SAN; and in the walls of the vena

cava in the most anterior part of the SAN. Co-expression of Cntn2 and the nodal marker Hcn4

further confirmed that Cntn2 is indeed expressed in a sub-population of elongated Hcn4+ cells in

the SAN. Detailed examination of the His bundle/atrioventricular (AVN) region revealed

expression of Cntn2-EGFP in Hcn4+ cells of the AVN, localized posteriorly to the His Bundle

(Fig. 3B Center). Co-staining for connexin40 (Cx40) also confirmed expression of Cntn2-EGFP

in Cx40+ PCs of both ventricles (Fig. 3B Bottom). Staining with anti-Cntn2 antibodies confirmed

that EGFP reporter gene expression in Cntn2-EGFP transgenic mice correctly reflected

endogenous gene expression, as shown by co-localization of the two markers in components of

the CCS (Fig. 3C).

Cntn2 expression in canine Purkinje fibers. Immunohistochemistry of isolated canine PFs

showed preferential expression of Cntn2 on the sarcolemma of individual Purkinje cells (PCs;

Fig. 4A). Myocytes expressing Cntn2 on their cell membrane also expressed the PC-marker

Cx40 at their intercalated disks, as observed in both longitudinal (Fig. 4B Left) and tangential

(Fig. 4B Right) cell sections. Confocal images of dissociated canine PCs (Fig. 4C) confirmed the

expression of Cntn2 on the sarcolemma of Cx40+ cells with a rod-shaped, Purkinje-like

phenotype. The cardiac pore-forming sodium channel subunit, Nav1.5/Scn5a, was concentrated

at the intercalated disks and along the cell membrane in PCs. Confocal images confirmed that

Cntn2 is expressed in Nav1.5+ PCs; surface (Fig 4D) and sub-surface (Fig 4E) optical slices

showed that, while co-expressed in the same cell, Cntn2 and Nav1.5 appeared to be targeted to

distinct membrane domains with limited co-localization, most clearly seen in the sub-surface

view.

Isolation and Functional Analysis of Cntn2-EGFP+ myocytes. To further analyze the

properties of the Cntn2-expressing myocytes, we dissociated myocytes from the ventricles of

adult Cntn2-EGFP+ transgenic mice. Cntn2-EGFP+ myocytes were readily seen under

epifluorescence microscopy, with an elongated, rod-shaped phenotype typical of PCs, easily

distinguishable from the non-fluorescent working ventricular myocytes (Fig 5A Left). Cntn2-

EGFP+ cells did not express Cx43 (Fig 5A Center), the most abundant connexin of working

myocytes, but were strongly positive for Cx40. This specificity of Cx40 expression was most

obvious in a cluster of myocytes that included both EGFP+ and EGFP- cells (Fig 5A Right).

Action potentials (APs) from Cntn2-EGFP+ myocytes were characterized by a distinct plateau in

phase 2 (Fig. 5B). APD50 and APD90 values were both significantly longer than those recorded

from Cntn2-EGFP- myocytes (Table 1). Cntn2-EGFP+ myocytes also demonstrated,

spontaneous electrical oscillations in phase 2, which resulted in early-after depolarizations

(EADs) (Fig. 5C Top). In some instances (Fig. 5C Bottom), Cntn2-EGFP+ myocytes also

developed delayed afterdepolarizations (DADs) at faster pacing rates (5 Hz); in contrast, none of

Cntn2-EGFP- cells exhibited either EADs or DADs.

Confocal microscopy and fluorescence photometry with calcium-sensitive dyes were also

performed to study intracellular calcium dynamics. Compared to the Cntn2-EGFP- working

ventricular myocytes, Cntn2-EGFP+ cells displayed significantly slower kinetics of activation

and relaxation (Fig. 5D, E), with longer time to peak fluorescence, reduced peak rate of rise of

fluorescence and slower decay (Table 1). EGFP+ myocytes were also significantly more likely

to develop spontaneous Ca2+ events (Fig 5F, G).

Discussion

We identified Contactin2 (Cntn2) as a novel marker that is preferentially expressed in the cardiac

conduction system, including myocytes of the murine and canine Purkinje fiber networks.

Contactins are a subgroup of cell adhesion molecules of the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily.

There are at least six contactins: Cntn1, Cntn2, BIG-1, BIG-2, NB-2 and NB-3; all include six Ig-

like and four fibronectin III-like domains that are anchored to the plasma membrane by a

glycosyl phosphatidylinositol (GPI) moiety. Cntn2, also known as transiently-expressed axonal

glycoprotein 1 (TAG-1), in mouse and rat 34, transient axonal glycoprotein 1 (TAX1) in human

and axonin-1 in chicken, has been most fully characterized in the central (CNS) and peripheral

nervous systems (PNS) where it is expressed in the membrane of neurons and myelinating glial

cells.

We used several complementary strategies to confirm the transcriptional profiling data

demonstrating expression of Cntn2 within the Purkinje fiber (PF) network. These included

immunohistochemical studies of murine and canine heart, as well as analyses of two genetically

engineered reporter mice, i.e., Cntn2-lacZ knockin mice and Cntn2-EGFP BAC transgenic mice.

Interestingly, while our initial transcriptional screen was focused on identifying transcripts

enriched in Purkinje fibers, our studies demonstrated expression of endogenous Cntn2 (and

reporter gene expression) throughout the entirety of the adult CCS, including nodal as well as

fast-conducting cells of the His-Purkinje network. This observation, coupled with our previous

description of widespread expression of the CCS-lacZ reporter gene throughout both the

proximal and distal CCS, suggests that despite the functional diversity that exists within the

heterogeneous elements of the CCS, these disparate components of the conductive network share

some commonality with respect to transcriptional regulation.

In this study, we took advantage of Cntn2-EGFP reporter mice 35 since they provided us with a

powerful approach to identify and functionally characterize individual Cntn2-expressing murine

myocytes. These data, including patch clamp recordings and measurements of intracellular

calcium dynamics, were consistent with a PC phenotype. Importantly, our functional studies

indicated a significantly greater propensity of single murine PCs to develop spontaneous

intracellular calcium release events (Fig. 5F) and afterdepolarizations (Fig. 5G). These

observations are consistent with the purported role of PCs in the genesis and maintenance of

various arrhythmic syndromes, including inherited diseases such as catecholaminergic

polymorphic ventricular tachycardia 9 and idiopathic ventricular fibrillation36, as well as common

acquired pathologies, such as post-myocardial infarction ectopy29, 37. Importantly, the Cntn2-

EGFP mice will allow us to characterize the ventricular conduction system at varying levels of

resolution, including studies of single cells (as in the current study), as well as analyses of the

complex branching structure of the Purkinje fiber network. These data should be of benefit in

the formulation of increasingly sophisticated computational models of cardiac excitation38, 39.

These studies do not yet address the specific function of Cntn2 in the cardiac conduction system,

although there are tantalizing hints from studies in the developing and adult nervous system.

During development, Cntn2 participates in neural cell adhesion and migration, neurite outgrowth

and fasciculation, axon pathfinding and myelination40. Even more relevant for the interpretation

of our findings in PCs is the role of Cntn2 in adult neurons where it is involved in ion clustering

with important implications for their electrophysiological properties.

Cntn2 is specifically involved in the clustering of delayed rectifier Shaker-type K+ channels,

Kv1.1 and Kv1.2, and their Kv 2 subunits at the juxtaparanodal region (JXP) of myelinated

axons 27. Concentration of Kvs at the JXP and their segregation from domains enriched in

voltage-gated Na+ channels (Navs), at the nodes of Ranvier plays an important role in limiting

neuronal excitability by maintaining neuronal internodal resting potential or preventing rapid re-

excitation41. Molecular mechanisms of Cntn2-mediated Kv clustering in neurons involve trans

interaction with other Cntn2 molecules on the glial membrane and heterophilic cis interactions

with Caspr2, a member of the neurexin superfamily in the neuronal membrane (axolemma).

Caspr2 expression in the heart has not yet been examined, however in the nervous system, it

influences the function of Cntn2 as demonstrated by studies showing that in Caspr2 deficient

mice Cntn2 is unable to localize at the JXP and Kvs diffuse to the internodal region 27.

Conversely, in Cntn2-/- mice, there is mislocalization of Caspr2 and Kvs at the internodal

regions, demonstrating the interdependence of Cntn2 and Casp242. These observations suggest

that the function of Cntn2 in PCs could also be to regulate Kv clustering through its interaction

with Caspr2, thereby modulating PC excitability. Our data showing that Cntn2 and Nav1.5

appear to be targeted to distinct membrane domains support this functional parallel in PCs and

neurons. Additional co-localization studies using Cntn-EGFP mice will be required to explore

potential molecular interactions between Cntn2, Kvs, Navs, and Caspr2 in PCs.

Previous studies have also shown that Cntn2 is able to induce cis activation and binding of L1-

CAM to the adapter protein ankyrin43, which, in neurons, is implicated in Nav clustering at the

nodes (ankyrin-G) 44. In cardiomyocytes, mutations in ankyryn-G binding domains of Nav1.5

that result in impaired Nav1.5 localization to the intercalated disks were recently implicated in

the pathogenesis of ventricular arrhythmias45-47. Furthermore, in the canine model of arrhythmia

post-infarction, ankyrin-G has been implicated in sodium channel remodeling of epicardial

border zone cells48. In light of its interaction with ankyrin it is conceivable that Cntn2 may play

and Kvs at the e eee iniiniiii

a mechanistic role in ankyrin-dependent regulation of ion channel targeting and

arrhythmogenesis.

In conclusion, in the present study we have identified Cntn2 as a novel marker that is robustly

expressed throughout the specialized conductive system of the heart, including the distal

Purkinje fiber network. This discovery has enabled us to visualize the CCS, to isolate individual

Purkinje cells, and to characterize their distinct physiological properties. One can now envision

numerous strategies to decipher the mechanistic role of the Purkinje fiber network in the genesis

and maintenance of clinically significant cardiac rhythm disturbances. Moreover, by analogy to

neuronal systems, we suggest that Cntn2 may regulate CCS network formation and the

excitability of its component cells.

SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL Expanded Methods

Microarray Profiling. Purkinje fiber (PF) enriched samples were obtained by micro-

dissecting the subendocardial layer of 6-8 month old CCS-lacZ murine hearts and PF

depleted samples were micro-dissected from the sub-epicardial layer of the ventricular

walls, using a dissection microscope (Zeiss) and 0.125 mm tungsten micro-needles. The

tissue from three hearts was pooled together to generate one sample and three

independent pooled samples of each tissue type were analyzed in transcriptional profiling

performed on total RNA using the GeneChip 3’ IVT Express Labeling Kit (Affymetrix)

to generate biotin labeled probes hybridized to Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array chips,

covering 39,000 mouse genes. Probe level was converted to expression values using both

the Robust Multi-array Average (RMA) procedure. 415 probe sets for genes/mRNAs

differentially regulated between PF-enriched versus PF-depleted samples were identified

using triplicate sets of Robust multichip average (RMA)-normalized Affymetrix CEL

files 1 followed by feature selection algorithm Pavlidis Template Matching (PTM,

p<0.05)2 and thresholding at 33% for reproducible fold change in expression level

between the two sample types.

Immunohistochemistry Mouse hearts or canine PFs were fixed in 4% PFA, then

equilibrated in 10% sucrose and embedded in OCT. Cryosections, 6-10µM thick, were

post-fixed for 10 min in 4% PFA (Cx40), permeabilized for 10 min in 0.5% Triton X-100

and blocked for 1 h at 37oC in 5% Normal Donkey Serum/0.1% Triton X-100/0.1% NP-

40. Slides were then incubated overnight at 4oC with the primary antibody followed by

Page 31: Contactin-2 Expression in the Cardiac Purkinje Fiber Network

incubation for 1 hr at 37oC with the secondary antibody and mounted with Vectashield

with or without the nuclear counter stain DAPI (VectorLabs). The permeabilization step

was omitted for Cx40, HCN4 and Cntn2 single staining. Staining for β-galactosidase

(βGal) and whole mount XGal staining were performed as previously described 3, 4. For

Cntn2/XGal serial staining, CCS-lacZ hearts were snap frozen in OCT, and sequential

cryosections were stained for Cntn2 or fixed and stained for XGal.

Epifluorescent images were acquired with an Axiovert 200M inverted microscope (Zeiss)

with 10x and 40x dry objectives, or a Semi SV 11 Apo dissection microscope, equipped

for fluorescence (Zeiss). With both microscopes images were acquired with an AxioCam

MRc camera (Zeiss) and AxioVision 4.6 software. Confocal images were acquired with

a SP5 confocal laser system (Leica), using 20x (water) and 40x (dry) objectives, and Ar

(488 nm line; green fluorescence) or Green HeNe (543 nM line; red fluorescence) lasers.

Immunocytochemistry of canine PCs. Freshly isolated PCs were seeded onto laminin–

coated glass coverslips. After attachment the cells were fixed for 15 min with 4% PFA,

pemeabilized for 20 min with 0.7% Triton X-100, incubated for 30 min in 5% Normal

Goat Serum blocking buffer. Cells were then incubated overnight at 4oC with the

primary antibodies, followed by incubation for 1.5 h with the appropriate combination of

secondary antibodies. Immunoreactivity was visualized by 488/568 excitation using a

Zeiss LSM 510 scope with 100x objective.

Antibodies. The following primary antibodies were used: rabbit anti-HCN4 (Millipore),

goat anti-Cntn2 (R&D Systems); mouse anti-sarcomeric actinin (Sigma); rabbit anti-

Cx40 (Alpha Diagnostics); rabbit anti-βGal (5’ -3’, Boulder, CO); rabbit anti-Nav1.5

Page 32: Contactin-2 Expression in the Cardiac Purkinje Fiber Network

rabbit (Alomone Laboratories, Israel). The following fluorophore-conjugated secondary

antibodies were used: biotinilated goat anti-rabbit (Sigma); FITC avidin D (Sigma);

Alexa Fluor 555 goat anti-rabbit (Invitrogen); FITC donkey anti-rabbit; TR-conjugated

donkey anti-rabbit; TR or FITC donkey anti-goat; Cy3 donkey anti-mouse; FITC goat

anti-mouse. Canine PCs were incubated with the following secondary antibody

combination: FITC donkey-anti-Rabbit (Jackson ImmunoResearch) and Cy3-conjugated

donkey anti-goat IgG. Antibodies were purchased from Jackson ImmunoResearch,

unless otherwise stated, and were diluted in blocking buffer at a concentration of 2-10

µg/ml.

Electrophysiological recordings in isolated ventricular myocytes

Ventricular myocytes were isolated using an established enzymatic digestion protocol5

yielding to 60-80% rod-shaped, calcium-tolerant myocytes. Within 6 hours from

isolation, laminin-coated dishes containing isolated ventricular myocytes were mounted

on the stage of an inverted microscope. The myocytes were bathed with the solution

containing (mmol/L): 140 NaCl, 4 KCl, 2 CaCl2, 1 MgCl2, 10 HEPES and 5 glucose, pH

adjusted to 7.4 with NaOH at 35°C. Transmembrane potentials were recorded in whole

cell current mode as previously described. All signals were acquired at 5 kHz (Digidata

1322A, Axon Instruments) and analyzed with pCLAMP version 9.2 software (Axon

Instruments). Patch electrodes had a resistance of 2–3 M when filled with patch

electrode solutions containing (mmol/L): 120 potassium aspartate, 20 KCl, 1 MgCl2, 4

Na2ATP, 0.1 GTP, 10 HEPES, 10 glucose, pH adjusted to 7.2 with NaOH. Myocytes

Page 33: Contactin-2 Expression in the Cardiac Purkinje Fiber Network

were electrically stimulated by intracellular current injection through patch electrodes

using depolarizing pulses with duration of 3 ms and amplitude of 0.5-1 nA. Action

potential duration (APD) was measured at 90% and 50% of repolarization (APD90 and

APD50). DADs were defined as phase 4 positive (depolarizing) deflections of the

membrane potential. EADs were defined as positive (depolarizing) oscillations occurring

during phase 2 or 3 of action potential.

Ca2+ imaging. Isolated myocytes from Cntn2-EGFP transgenic mice were loaded with

the membrane-permeant Ca2+ indicator dye Rhod-2/AM. Cells were placed in solution

with 5 µM Rhod-2/AM (Invitrogen) at room temperature for 20 min. The loading

solution was removed, and cells was washed and equilibrated in fresh Tyrode’s solution

for 30 min to allow deesterification of the dye before recording. Epifluorescence light

was used to identify the EGFP+ and EGFP- cells. Ca2+ images were acquired using a 63x

water immersion objective (N.A.=1.2) with a Leica SP5 confocal microscope in line-scan

mode (400Hz). Rhod-2 was excited at 540-nm. Emission was collected at >560-nm.

During the experiments, cells were field stimulated with 1 Hz at least 1 min to reach a

steady-state of SR Ca2+ loading. In some experiments, the Ca2+ transients were measured

by microfluorimetry. Freshly isolated myocytes were incubated with 2µM Indo-1/AM

(Invitrogen) at room temperature for 15min. Then the loading solution was replaced with

fresh Tyrode’s solution for 30 min to allow deesterification of the dye before recording.

The Indo-1 loaded cells were illuminated by a Xenon lamp (excitation was 340nm) and

the dual emission light (405-nm and 495-nm) was collected by two separate PMT tubes.

The fluorescence ratio was calculated by Ionwizard (IonOptix, Milton, MA).
