In Reply:—We thank Drs. Xia and Irwin for their interest in our study on the role of -adrenergic signaling in anesthetic postconditioning and in the accompanying editorial view. We agree with Drs. Xia and Irwin that, besides their energy-sparing effect, several alternative mechanisms of blockers might be responsible for their infarct size– reducing capacity. Apart from their effect on the inter...

RATIONALE In ventricular myocytes of large mammals with low T-tubule density, a significant number of ryanodine receptors (RyRs) are not coupled to the sarcolemma; cardiac remodeling increases noncoupled RyRs. OBJECTIVE Our aim was to test the hypothesis that coupled and noncoupled RyRs have distinct microdomain-dependent modulation. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied single myocytes from pig l...

Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are transcriptional coregulators. Recently, we demonstrated that HDAC4, one of class IIa family members, promotes reactive oxygen species-dependent vascular smooth muscle inflammation and mediates development of hypertension in spontaneously hypertensive rats. Pathogenesis of hypertension is, in part, modulated by vascular structural remodeling via proliferation and...

Abstract To understand the mechanism governing postharvest senescence of Zizania latifolia (Z. latifolia), and regulatory induced by 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) during storage at 25 °C, physiobiochemical conjoint analyses transcriptome metabolome were performed. The results indicated that 1-MCP treatment engendered changes in expression genes metabolites Z. latifolia. maintained a good visual ...

Small GTPases of the Rho family regulate a vast spectrum of functions in eukaryotic cells, from cyto-skeletal rearrangements to vesicle transport to transcriptional regulation. Rho GTPases act as molecular switches, cycling between an ‘inactive’ GDP-bound form and an ‘active’ GTP-bound form. Activation is accomplished by guanine-nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) which catalyze GDP dissociation...

Tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA), an endogenous bile acid, modulates cell death by interrupting classic pathways of apoptosis. Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a devastating acute neurological disorder, without effective treatment, in which a significant loss of neuronal cells is thought to occur by apoptosis. In this study, we evaluated whether TUDCA can reduce brain injury and improve neuro...

Glutathione S-transferase-micro1, GSTM1, belongs to a superfamily of glutathione S-transferases that metabolizes a broad range of reactive oxygen species and xenobiotics. Across species, genetic variants that result in decreased expression of the Gstm1 gene are associated with increased susceptibility for vascular diseases, including atherosclerosis in humans. We previously identified Gstm1 as ...
