Cardiomyocyte cyclooxygenase-2 influences cardiac rhythm and function.

چکیده
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs selective for inhibition of COX-2 increase heart failure and elevate blood pressure. The COX-2 gene was floxed and crossed into merCremer mice under the alpha-myosin heavy-chain promoter. Tamoxifen induced selective deletion of COX-2 in cardiomyocytes depressed cardiac output, and resulted in weight loss, diminished exercise tolerance, and enhanced susceptibility to induced arrhythmogenesis. The cardiac dysfunction subsequent to pressure overload recovered progressively in the knockouts coincident with increasing cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and interstitial and perivascular fibrosis. Inhibition of COX-2 in cardiomyocytes may contribute to heart failure in patients receiving nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs specific for inhibition of COX-2.

Increased release of arachidonic acid and eicosanoids in iron-overloaded cardiomyocytes.
BACKGROUND Patients with transfusional iron overload may develop a life-limiting cardiomyopathy. The sensitivity of lipid-metabolizing enzymes to peroxidative injury, as well as the reported effects of arachidonic acid (AA) and metabolites on cardiac rhythm, led us to hypothesize that iron-overloaded cardiomyocytes display alterations in the release of AA and prostaglandins. METHODS AND RESUL...
متن کاملMAPK-activated protein kinase-2 in cardiac hypertrophy and cyclooxygenase-2 regulation in heart.
RATIONALE Activation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) has a significant impact on cardiac gene expression, contractility, extracellular matrix remodeling, and inflammatory response in heart. The p38 kinase pathway also has a controversial role in cardiac hypertrophy. MAPK-activated protein kinase-2 (MK2) is a well-established p38 downstream kinase, yet its contribution to p38-medi...
متن کاملModeling Circadian Rhythmicity of Cardiac Arrhythmias
The cardiomyocyte circadian (~24-hour) clock influences multiple intracellular processes, including transcription and contractile function, and has recently been linked to ventricular arrhythmias in mice [1]. Circadian rhythms have also been observed in transient outward potassium current (Ito), a current that dominates mice action potential (AP) repolarization. We used mathematical modeling to...
متن کاملEffects of Multivitamins and Known Teratogens on Chick Cardiomyocytes Micromass Culture Assay
Objective(s): This study aimed to find out whether the chick cardiomyocyte micromass (MM) system could be employed to predict the teratogenecity of common environmental factors. Different multivitamins and over the counter drugs were used in this study. Materials and Methods: White Leghorn 5-day-old embryo hearts were dissected and trypsinized to produce a cardiomyocyte cell suspension in D...
متن کاملInitial documented rhythm as a predictor of survivalto-discharge rate after in-hospital cardiac arrest in a tertiary care referral institute, South India: an observational study
Objective: Survival-to-discharge rates following in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) patients remain significantly low. The use of initial documented cardiac rhythm as predictor of Survival-to-discharge is still unclear. This study aimed to assess whether the initial documented rhythm can be used as a predictor of survival-to-discharge following IHCA in an emergency department of the tertiary car...
