Fractalkine Depresses Cardiomyocyte Contractility
BACKGROUND Our laboratory reported that male mice with cardiomyocyte-selective knockout of the prostaglandin E2 EP4 receptor sub-type (EP4 KO) exhibit reduced cardiac function. Gene array on left ventricles (LV) showed increased fractalkine, a chemokine implicated in heart failure. We therefore hypothesized that fractalkine is regulated by PGE2 and contributes to depressed contractility via alt...
متن کاملEthanol effects on cardiomyocyte contractility.
Little is known about the direct cardiac effects of socially common sub-intoxication levels of ethanol. Previous studies evaluating the responses of normal cardiomyocytes to short-term ethanol exposure have utilized ethanol concentrations equivalent to extreme intoxication or lethal levels in vivo. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the contractile responses of isolated rat ven...
متن کاملContractility-dependent actin dynamics in cardiomyocyte sarcomeres.
In contrast to the highly dynamic actin cytoskeleton in non-muscle cells, actin filaments in muscle sarcomeres are thought to be relatively stable and undergo dynamics only at their ends. However, many proteins that promote rapid actin dynamics are also expressed in striated muscles. We show that a subset of actin filaments in cardiomyocyte sarcomeres displays rapid turnover. Importantly, we fo...
متن کاملFibrinogen decreases cardiomyocyte contractility through an ICAM-1-dependent mechanism
INTRODUCTION Cardiomyocytes exposed to inflammatory processes express intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1). We investigated whether fibrinogen and fibrinogen degradation products, including D-dimer, could alter cardiomyocyte contractile function through interaction with ICAM-1 found on inflamed cardiomyocytes. METHODS In vivo, rats were injected with endotoxin to model systemic inflamma...
متن کاملCholesterol Depletion Alters Cardiomyocyte Subcellular Signaling and Increases Contractility
UNLABELLED Membrane cholesterol levels play an important factor in regulating cell function. Sarcolemmal cholesterol is concentrated in lipid rafts and caveolae, which are flask-shaped invaginations of the plasma membrane. The scaffolding protein caveolin permits the enrichment of cholesterol in caveolae, and caveolin interactions with numerous proteins regulate their function. The purpose of t...
