Promoting arrhythmia susceptibility.
The SCN5A-encoded voltage-gated cardiac sodium channel -subunit (hNaV1.5) is one of the critical ion channels necessary to orchestrate both the cardiac action potential and excitation-contraction coupling of the ventricular myocyte.1 Rare mutations in SCN5A have been implicated in a cadre of the cardiac channelopathies, including congenital long-QT syndrome (LQTS), Brugada syndrome (BrS), progr...
متن کاملAn arrhythmia susceptibility gene in Caenorhabditis elegans.
kcne are evolutionarily conserved genes that encode accessory subunits of voltage-gated K(+) (Kv) channels. Missense mutations in kcne1, kcne2, and kcne3 are linked to congenital and acquired channelopathies in Homo sapiens. Here we show an unique example of conservation of kcne activities at genetic, physiological, functional, and pathophysiological level in Caenorhabditis elegans. Thus, mps-4...
متن کاملEffects of Doxycycline on Cx43 Distribution and Cardiac Arrhythmia Susceptibility of Rats after Myocardial Infarction
Effects of Doxycycline on Cx43 Distribution and Cardiac Arrhythmia Susceptibility of Rats after Myocardial Infarction Abstract: This study aimed to observe the effects of doxycycline (DOX) on gap junction remodeling after MI and the susceptibility of rats to cardiac arrhythmia. The proximal left anterior descending coronary artery of rats was ligated to establish a myocardial infarction animal...
متن کاملCYP2J2 Overexpression Protects against Arrhythmia Susceptibility in Cardiac Hypertrophy
Maladaptive cardiac hypertrophy predisposes one to arrhythmia and sudden death. Cytochrome P450 (CYP)-derived epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) promote anti-inflammatory and antiapoptotic mechanisms, and are involved in the regulation of cardiac Ca(2+)-, K(+)- and Na(+)-channels. To test the hypothesis that enhanced cardiac EET biosynthesis counteracts hypertrophy-induced electrical remodeling, ...
