Abstract

By using immunohistology combined with immunoblotting, cell culture, and RT-PCR, we show that the intermediate filament protein nestin is transiently expressed in the midembryonic mouse heart. Monoclonal antibody (MAb) Rat-401, known to react with nestin in neural and skeletal muscle cells, was also found to react with ventricular and atrial cells throughout the mouse heart from embryonic day 9 (E9) through E10.5. Both before (E8.5) and after (E11-adult) this brief period, staining with Rat-401 was absent from atrial and ventricular myocytes. To evaluate the specificity of staining with MAb Rat-401 in the heart, we used immunoblotting, cell culture, and RT-PCR to verify that the authentic nestin protein and mRNA were expressed in cardiomyocytes of the E10 mouse. Nestin expression is the first molecular marker for this distinct midembryonic period of heart development.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
