Outward and inward background currents across the cell membrane balance, determining resting membrane potential. Inward rectifier K channel subfamily 2 (Kir2) channels primarily maintain the resting membrane potential of cardiomyocytes. Human cardiomyocytes exhibit two levels of resting membrane potential at subphysiological extracellular K concentrations or pathological hypokalaemia, however, the underlying mechanism is unclear. In the present study, we show that human cardiomyocytes derived from induced pluripotent stem cells with enhanced expression of isoform 1 of Kir2 (Kir2.1) channels and mouse HL-1 cardiomyocytes with ectopic expression of two pore-domain K channel isoform 1 (K2P1) recapitulate t...
