Pharmacology of brain Na+/Ca2+ exchanger: from molecular biology to therapeutic perspectives.
In the last two decades, there has been a growing interest in unraveling the role that the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCX) plays in the function and regulation of several cellular activities. Molecular biology, electrophysiology, genetically modified mice, and molecular pharmacology have helped to delve deeper and more successfully into the physiological and pathophysiological role of this exchanger. ...
متن کاملCoordinated regulation of murine cardiomyocyte contractility by nanomolar (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate, the major green tea catechin.
Green tea polyphenolic catechins exhibit biological activity in a wide variety of cell types. Although reports in the lay and scientific literature suggest therapeutic potential for improving cardiovascular health, the underlying molecular mechanisms of action remain unclear. Previous studies have implicated a wide range of molecular targets in cardiac muscle for the major green tea catechin, (...
متن کاملFunctional proteins involved in regulation of intracellular Ca(2+) for drug development: pharmacology of SEA0400, a specific inhibitor of the Na(+)-Ca(2+) exchanger.
The Na(+)-Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX) is involved in regulation of intracellular Ca(2+) concentration. A specific inhibitor of NCX has been required for clarification of the physiological and pathological roles of NCX. We have developed 2-[4-[(2,5-difluorophenyl)methoxy]phenoxy]-5-ethoxyaniline (SEA0400), a highly potent and selective inhibitor of NCX. SEA0400 in the concentration range that inhibit...
متن کاملAnkyrin-B Coordinates the Na/K ATPase, Na/Ca Exchanger, and InsP3 Receptor in a Cardiac T-Tubule/SR Microdomain
We report identification of an ankyrin-B-based macromolecular complex of Na/K ATPase (alpha 1 and alpha 2 isoforms), Na/Ca exchanger 1, and InsP3 receptor that is localized in cardiomyocyte T-tubules in discrete microdomains distinct from classic dihydropyridine receptor/ryanodine receptor "dyads." E1425G mutation of ankyrin-B, which causes human cardiac arrhythmia, also blocks binding of ankyr...
متن کاملInositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate may regulate rat brain Cai++ by inhibiting membrane bound Na(+)-Ca++ exchanger.
The role of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (1,4,5-IP3) in regulating cytosolic Ca++ by stimulating Ca++ release from intracellular organelles is well established. However, other modes of intracellular Ca++ regulation by 1,4,5-IP3 have not been determined. To determine if 1,4,5-IP3 may regulate cell cytosolic Ca++ by acting on plasma membrane bound Na(+)-Ca++ exchanger, we investigated Ca++ transp...
