Endothelin-1-induced remodelling of murine adult ventricular myocytes

Abstract

The precise role of hormones binding to Gαq protein-coupled receptors (H-GαqPCRs) in chronic heart diseases remains poorly understood. To address this, we used a model of cultured adult rat ventricular myocytes stimulated with endothelin-1 (ET-1) or phenylephrine (PE) over a period of 8 days in vitro (DIV). Chronically treated cells showed an increased number of arrhythmogenic Ca(2+) transients when electrically paced at 0.5 Hz. While their post-rest behaviour was preserved, from DIV6 onwards the amplitude of caffeine-evoked Ca(2+) transients was increased in hormone-treated cells, suggesting an elevated sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) load. The duration of electrically evoked global Ca(2+) transients gradually increased over the culturing time indicating decreased activity of processes removing cytosolic Ca(2+). In treated cells, spontaneous Ca(2+) sparks displayed smaller amplitudes from DIV6 onwards, and a slower decay period for PE (from DIV3) and for ET-1 (from DIV6). This cellular functional remodelling was associated with changes in gene expression: chronic ET-1 treatment decreased PKCγ transcripts, whereas PE increased PKCγ and SERCA2a transcripts as probed by qPCR. Western blot analysis confirmed the upregulation of PKCγ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
