Overview of Gene Research
Scn10a, encoding the neuronal voltage-gated sodium channel NaV1.8, is associated with multiple physiological and pathological processes. It plays a role in cardiac electrophysiology, pain perception, and is also linked to various diseases. Genetic models, especially KO/CKO mouse models, are valuable for studying its functions [1,2].
In mouse models, disruption of the intronic enhancer of Scn10a led to reduced cardiac Scn10a-short expression, decreased cardiac sodium current in atrial cardiomyocytes, atrial conduction slowing, and arrhythmia. The Scn10a-short transcript, expressed in cardiomyocytes of the atria, sinoatrial node, and ventricular conduction system, impacts NaV1.5-mediated sodium current and heart rhythm. Complete loss-of-function or knockout (KO) of Scn10a in rodent models decreased sensitivity to various pain stimuli [1,2].
In conclusion, Scn10a is crucial for cardiac conduction and pain perception. Mouse KO models have revealed its role in cardiac arrhythmias and pain-related pathophysiological mechanisms. Understanding Scn10a's functions provides insights into related diseases, such as atrial fibrillation, Brugada syndrome, and pain-related disorders [1,2,3].
