Abstract

Altered gap junction coupling of cardiac myocytes during ischemia may contribute to development of lethal arrhythmias. The phosphoprotein connexin 43 (Cx43) is the major constituent of gap junctions. Dephosphorylation of Cx43 and uncoupling of gap junctions occur during ischemia, but the significance of Cx43 phosphorylation in this setting is unknown. Here we show that Cx43 dephosphorylation in synchronously contracting myocytes during ischemia is reversible, independent of hypoxia, and closely associated with cellular ATP levels. Cx43 became profoundly dephosphorylated during hypoxia only when glucose supplies were limited and was completely rephosphorylated within 30 minutes of reoxygenation. Similarly, direct reduction of ATP by various combinations of metabolic inhibitors and by ouabain was closely paralleled by loss of phosphoCx43 and recovery of phosphoCx43 accompanied restoration of ATP. Dephosphorylation of Cx43 could not be attributed to hypoxia, acid pH or secreted metabolites, or to AMP-activated protein kinase; moreover, the process was selective for Cx43 because levels of phospho-extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK)1/2 were increased throughout. Rephosphorylation of Cx43 was not dependent on new protein synt...Continue Reading

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.

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.
