Enigmatically, HyperKPP diaphragm expresses the mutant NaV1.4 channel and, more importantly, has an abnormally high Na+ influx similar to that in extensor digitorum longus (EDL) and soleus, two hindlimb muscles suffering from the robust HyperKPP abnormalities. The objective was to uncover the physiological mechanisms that render HyperKPP diaphragm asymptomatic. A first mechanism involves efficient maintenance of resting membrane polarization in HyperKPP diaphragm at various extracellular K+ concentrations compared with larger membrane depolarizations in HyperKPP EDL and soleus. The improved resting membrane potential (EM) results from significantly increased Na+ K+ pump electrogenic activity, and not from an increased protein content. Action potential amplitude was greater in HyperKPP diaphragm than in HyperKPP soleus and EDL, providing a second mechanism for the asymptomatic behavior of the HyperKPP diaphragm. One suggested mechanism for the greater action potential amplitude is lower intracellular Na+ concentration because of greater Na+ K+ pump activity, allowing better Na+ current during the action potential depolarization phase. Finally, HyperKPP diaphragm had a greater capacity to generate force at depolarized EM compared with wild-type diaphragm. Action potential amplitude was not different between wild-type and HyperKPP diaphragm. There was also no evidence for an increased activity of the Na+\u2013Ca2+ exchanger working in the reverse mode in the HyperKPP diaphragm compared with the wild-type diaphragm. So, a third mechanism remains to be elucidated to fully understand how HyperKPP diaphragm generates more force compared with wild type. Although the mechanism for the greater force at depolarized resting EM remains to be determined, this study provides support for the modulation of the Na+ K+ pump as a component of therapy to alleviate weakness in HyperKPP.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1085\/jgp.201511476","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,11,30]],"date-time":"2015-11-30T16:50:24Z","timestamp":1448902224000},"page":"509-525","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1085\/jgp.crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Understanding the physiology of the asymptomatic diaphragm of the M1592V hyperkalemic periodic paralysis mouse"],"prefix":"10.1085","volume":"146","author":[{"given":"Tarek","family":"Ammar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario K1H 8M5, Canada 1"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario K1H 8M5, Canada 1"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Amanda","family":"Higgins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario K1H 8M5, Canada 1"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lawrence J.","family":"Hayward","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, University of Massachusetts Medical School, Worcester, MA 01655 2"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jean-Marc","family":"Renaud","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario K1H 8M5, Canada 1"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"291","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,11,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023072623451881800_bib1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"154","DOI":"10.1148\/radiol.12110980","article-title":"Hyperkalemic periodic paralysis and permanent weakness: 3-T MR imaging depicts intracellular 23Na overload\u2014initial results","volume":"264","author":"Amarteifio","year":"2012","journal-title":"Radiology."},{"key":"2023072623451881800_bib2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"763","DOI":"10.1152\/physrev.1999.79.3.763","article-title":"Sodium\/calcium exchange: its physiological implications","volume":"79","author":"Blaustein","year":"1999","journal-title":"Physiol.
