Excessive sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase expression causes increased sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ uptake but decreases myocyte shortening.
BACKGROUND Increasing sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA) uptake activity is a promising therapeutic approach for heart failure. We investigated the effects of different levels of SERCA1a expression on contractility and Ca2+ cycling. We tested whether increased SERCA1a expression levels enhance myocyte contractility in a gene-dose-dependent manner. METHODS AND RESULTS ...
متن کاملCyclosporin A inhibits inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-dependent Ca2+ signals by enhancing Ca2+ uptake into the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria.
Cytosolic Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](i)) oscillations may be generated by the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP(3)R) driven through cycles of activation/inactivation by local Ca(2+) feedback. Consequently, modulation of the local Ca(2+) gradients influences IP(3)R excitability as well as the duration and amplitude of the [Ca(2+)](i) oscillations. In the present work, we demonstrate that the immun...
متن کاملSensory neurons derived from diabetic rats have diminished internal Ca2+ stores linked to impaired re-uptake by the endoplasmic reticulum
Distal symmetrical sensory neuropathy in diabetes involves the dying back of axons, and the pathology equates with axonal dystrophy generated under conditions of aberrant Ca2+ signalling. Previous work has described abnormalities in Ca2+ homoeostasis in sensory and dorsal horn neurons acutely isolated from diabetic rodents. We extended this work by testing the hypothesis that sensory neurons ex...
متن کاملAssociation of Phytochrome with Rough-surfaced Endoplasmic Reticulum Fractions from Soybean Hypocotyls.
Distribution of phytochrome (as Pfr) among membranes from soybean hypocotyls (Glycine max L. cv. Wayne) was determined by the combined techniques of cell fractionation, difference spectrometry, and electron microscopic morphometry. More than 90% of the phytochrome was found in the soluble fraction. With homogenates prepared in the presence or absence of Mg(2+), the portion associated with membr...
متن کاملCa2+ shuttling between endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria underlying Ca2+ oscillations.
Although many cell functions are regulated by Ca(2+) oscillations induced by a cyclic release of Ca(2+) from intracellular Ca(2+) stores, the pacemaker mechanism of Ca(2+) oscillations remains to be explained. Using green fluorescent protein-based Ca(2+) indicators that are targeted to intracellular Ca(2+) stores, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria, we found that Ca(2+) shuttles be...
