Abstract
The ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) channels are hetero-octameric protein complexes comprising 4 pore-forming (Kir6.x) subunits and 4 regulatory sulfonylurea receptor (SURx) subunits. They are prominent in myocytes, pancreatic β cells, and neurons and link cellular metabolism with membrane excitability. Using genetically modified animals and genomic analysis in patients, recent studies have implicated certain ATP-sensitive K+ channel subtypes in physiological and pathological processes in a variety of cardiovascular diseases. In this review, we focus on the causal relationship between ATP-sensitive K+ channel activity and pathophysiology in the cardiovascular system, particularly from the perspective of genetic changes in human and animal models.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to examine whether single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of β1 subunit of large-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channel (KCNMB1) and inwardly rectifying K+ channel, subfamily J, member-11 (KCNJ11) are associated with essential hypertension (EH) in Xinjiang Kazak Chinese patients. A polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism technique was applied to detect the distribution of selected alleles and genotype frequencies in a cohort of Xinjiang Kazak Chinese patients. Samples from 267 patients with EH and 259 normotensive (NT) controls were analyzed. An unconditional logistic regression analysis was used to estimate the odds ratio and 95% confidence interval of the risk factors that are associated with the development of EH. Genotype and allele frequency analyses revealed that the frequency of genotypes KCNJ11-rs2285676 and KCNMB1-rs11739136 was not significantly different between the EH and NT groups. Individuals carrying the GG genotype of KCNJ11-rs5219 had a 2.08 times higher risk of having EH than individuals carrying the GA+AA genotype of KCNJ11-rs5219. Furthermore, the G allele frequency of KCNJ11-rs5219 in the EH group was significantly higher than that of the NT group (P=0.048). Additionally, logistic regression analysis revealed that the body weight and GG genotype of KCNJ11-rs5219 were positively associated with EH in Xinjiang Kazak Chinese patients (P<0.01).

Abstract
KATP channels are integral to the functions of many cells and tissues. The use of electrophysiological methods has allowed for a detailed characterization of KATP channels in terms of their biophysical properties, nucleotide sensitivities, and modification by pharmacological compounds. However, even though they were first described almost 25 years ago (Noma 1983, Trube and Hescheler 1984), the physiological and pathophysiological roles of these channels, and their regulation by complex biological systems, are only now emerging for many tissues. Even in tissues where their roles have been best defined, there are still many unanswered questions. This review aims to summarize the properties, molecular composition, and pharmacology of KATP channels in various cardiovascular components (atria, specialized conduction system, ventricles, smooth muscle, endothelium, and mitochondria). We will summarize the lessons learned from available genetic mouse models and address the known roles of KATP channels in cardiovascular pathologies and how genetic variation in KATP channel genes contribute to human disease.

Abstract
Cardiomyopathies have been indicated to be one of the leading causes of heart failure. Though it was indicated that genetic defects, viral infection and trace element deficiency were among the causes of cardiomyopathy, the etiology has remained to be fully elucidated. Cardiomyocytes require large amounts of energy to maintain their normal biological functions. Adenosine triphosphate-sensitive potassium channels (KATP), composed of inward-rectifier potassium ion channel and sulfonylurea receptor subunits, are present on the cell surface and mitochondrial membrane of cardiac muscle cells. As metabolic sensors sensitive to changes in intracellular energy levels, KATP adapt electrical activities to metabolic challenges, maintaining normal biological functions of myocytes. It is implied that malfunctions, mutations and altered expression of KATP are associated with the pathogenesis of conditions including c hypertrophy, diabetes as well as dilated, ischemic and endemic cardiomyopathy. However, the current knowledge is only the tip of the iceberg and the roles of KATP in cardiomyopathies largely remain to be elucidated in future studies.
