Co-culture of cardiac fibroblasts and myocytes enhances functional assembly of engineered myocardium
Introduction: Native myocardium consists of several cell types of which 1/3 are myocytes and most of the non-myocytes are fibroblasts [1]. Cardiac myocytes are the largest cells in the myocardium, they occupy ~90% of the volume and are responsible for synchronous contractions of the ventricles. The main roles of cardiac fibroblasts are to secrete the components of the extra-cellular matrix (ECM...
the aim of this paper is to prove some common fixed point theorems for four mappings satisfying $(psi,varphi)$-weak contractions involving rational expressions in ordered partial metric spaces. our results extend, generalize and improve some well-known results in the literature. also, we give two examples to illustrate our results.
It has been reported that selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) possess some cardiac effects. In the present study we have investigated the effect of paroxetine (PX), a potent SSRI agent, on spontaneously as well as ouabain-induced arrhythmia beating isolated guinea–pig atria. The Guinea-pig heart was rapidly removed; the auricles were dissected out in oxygenated modified Krebs soluti...
Plasmalogen rather than diacyl phospholipids are the preferred substrate for the cardiac phospholipase A2 (PLA2) isoform activated during ischemia. The diacyl metabolite, lysophosphatidylcholine, is arrhythmogenic, but the effects of the plasmalogen metabolite, lysoplasmenylcholine (LPLC), are essentially unknown. We found that 2.5 and 5 micromol/L LPLC induced spontaneous contractions of intac...
Population profiles of industrialized countries show dramatic increases in cardiovascular disease with age, but the molecular and genetic basis of disease progression has been difficult to study because of the lack of suitable model systems. Our studies of Drosophila show a markedly elevated incidence of cardiac dysfunction and arrhythmias in aging fruit fly hearts and a concomitant decrease in...
Calyculin A was used to examine the importance of phosphatases in the modulation of cardiac contractile magnitude in the absence of any neural or humoral stimulation. Protein phosphatase (PP)1 and PP2A activity, twitch contractions, intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) transients, action potentials, membrane currents, and myofilament Ca(2+) sensitivity were measured in isolated mous...
We studied sarcomere performance in single isolated intact frog atrial cells using techniques that allow direct measurement of sarcomere length and force. The purpose of this investigation was to determine whether length-dependent alterations in contractile activation occur in the single isolated cardiac cell. This was accomplished by determining the effect of initial sarcomere length on the ti...

To study myocardial hypertrophy under in vitro conditions, we developed an experimental system and protocol in which mechanical conditions of isolated multicellular myocardium can be controlled while function can be continuously assessed. This in vitro culture system now allows us to investigate how mechanical overload impacts on cardiac hypertrophy in the absence of systemic factors. In this s...
In the embryo, hypoxemia causes redistribution of cardiac output from the periphery toward the heart and the brain. In view of this, we investigated developmental changes in the contractile and relaxing properties of the peripheral femoral artery (Fem) and the more central carotid artery (Car) at 0.7, 0.8, and 0.9 of the chicken embryo incubation time. Isolated arteries were studied in myograph...
