Heart-Specific Overexpression of Choline Acetyltransferase Gene Protects Murine Heart Against Ischemia Through Hypoxia-Inducible Factor-1a–Related Defense Mechanisms
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background-—Murine and human ventricular cardiomyocytes rich in acetylcholine (Ach) receptors are poorly innervated by the vagus, compared with whole ventricular innervation by the adrenergic nerve. However, vagal nerve stimulation produces a favorable outcome even in the murine heart, despite relatively low ventricular cholinergic nerve density. Such a mismatch and missing link suggest the existence of a nonneuronal cholinergic system in ventricular myocardium.

متن کاملSENP1 protects against myocardial ischaemia/reperfusion injury via a HIF1α-dependent pathway.
AIMS SUMO-specific protease 1 (SENP1) removes SUMO from proteins and plays important roles in the regulation of multiple cellular signalling pathways. However, little is known about the role of SENP1 in coronary heart disease. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that SENP1 protects against myocardial ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury and investigated the underlying molecular mechanisms inv...
متن کاملHypoxia. 1. Intracellular sensors for oxygen and oxidative stress: novel therapeutic targets.
A variety of human disorders, e.g., ischemic heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, eventually share the deleterious consequences of a common, hypoxic and oxidative stress pathway. In this review, we utilize recent information on the cellular defense mechanisms against hypoxia and oxidative stress with the hope to propose new therapeutic tools. The hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) is a key player...
متن کاملEffects of Taurine, Sestrin 2 and Phyllanthin on coronary artery diseases
Heart failure is a growing epidemic in the worldwide. Atherosclerosis is a major mechanism of cardiovascular disease including myocardial infarction and peripheral arterial disease. Moreover, it causes many diseases and deaths around the world. Atherosclerosis, like coronary artery disease (CAD), is associated with inflammation and oxidative stress. The current article has been collected the s...
متن کاملEffect of High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) on Hypoxia-Inducible Factor-1 Alpha (HIF-1α) Gene Expression in Heart Tissue and Insulin Resistance Index in Type 2 Diabetic Rats
Background and Aim: One of the most common metabolic diseases is diabetes with hyperglycemic properties and endogenous insulin dysfunction. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of 10 weeks HIIT on HIF-1α gene expression in heart tissue of rats with type 2 diabetes. Methods: In this experimental study, 36 Wister rats with a mean weight of 200±58g were randomly assigned to control, diabetic,...
