Production of TRPM4 knockout cell line using rat cardiomyocyte H9c2.

ABSTRACT: The method presented in this article are related to the research article entitled as "Role of the TRPM4 channel in mitochondrial function, calcium release, and ROS generation in oxidative stress" [1]. TRPM4, a non-selective monovalent cation channel, is not only involved in the generation of the action potential in cardiomyocytes, but also thought to be a key molecule in the development of the ischemia-reperfusion injury of the brain and the heart [2], [3], [4], [5]. However, existing pharmacological inhibitors for the TRPM4 channel have problems of non-specificity [6]. This article describes methods used for targeted genomic deletion in the rat cardiomyocyte H9c2 using the CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing system in order to suppress TRPM4 protein expression.
