Transgenic model of aldosterone-driven cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure.
Aldosterone classically promotes unidirectional transepithelial sodium transport, thereby regulating blood volume and blood pressure. Recently, both clinical and experimental studies have suggested additional, direct roles for aldosterone in the cardiovascular system. To evaluate aldosterone activation of cardiomyocyte mineralocorticoid receptors, transgenic mice overexpressing 11beta-hydroxyst...
متن کاملCa(2+) signaling domains responsible for cardiac hypertrophy and arrhythmias.
Ca 2 activates and regulates multiple processes in every cell type. In the mammalian heart, cyclic fluctuations in cytosolic [Ca ] induce and regulate the strength of cardiac contraction (termed “contractile” [Ca ]). In addition, changes in Ca appear to be centrally involved in normal and pathological signaling (termed “signaling” [Ca ]) that regulates myocyte growth, hypertrophy, apoptosis, an...
متن کاملActin-dependent regulation of the cardiac Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger.
In the present study, the bovine cardiac Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX1.1) was expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells. The surface distribution of the exchanger protein, externally tagged with the hemagglutinin (HA) epitope, was associated with underlying actin filaments in regions of cell-to-cell contact and also along stress fibers. After we treated cells with cytochalasin D, NCX1.1 protein c...
متن کاملFrequency-dependent regulation of cardiac Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger.
The activity of the cardiac Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX1.1) undergoes continuous modulation during the contraction-relaxation cycle because of the accompanying changes in the electrochemical gradients for Na(+) and Ca(2+). In addition, NCX1.1 activity is also modulated via secondary, ionic regulatory mechanisms mediated by Na(+) and Ca(2+). In an effort to evaluate how ionic regulation influenc...
متن کاملTemperature-dependent model of human cardiac sodium channel
Cardiac sodium channels are integral membrane proteins whose structure is not known at atomic level yet and their molecular kinetics is still being studied through mathematical modeling. This study has focused on adapting an existing model of cardiac Na channel to analyze molecular kinetics of channels at 9-37°C. Irvine et al developed a Markov model for Na channel using Neuronal Network Model ...
