ADENYLYL CYCLASE TYPE 9: REGULATION AND CARDIAC FUNCTION [PDF]

, 2018
Abnormalities in cardiac stress signaling underlie a number of cardiovascular diseases (e.g. arrhythmias and heart failure). Cardiac stress signaling pathways normally integrate signals from the sympathetic nervous system to promote efficient contraction

Clinical and molecular characterization of a cardiac ryanodine receptor founder mutation causing catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia [PDF]

, 2015
Background Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is a difficult-to-diagnose cause of sudden cardiac death (SCD). We identified a family of 1400 individuals with multiple cases of CPVT, including 36 SCDs during youth.

Expression of beta-arrestins and beta-adrenergic receptor kinases in the failing human heart. [PDF]

Circulation Research, 1994
The beta-adrenergic receptor system of the failing human heart is markedly desensitized. We have recently postulated that this desensitization may in part be caused by an increase in beta-adrenergic receptor kinase (beta ARK) expression. beta ARK is thought to effect desensitization by acting in concert with an inhibitor protein, called beta-arrestin ...

CK2α Deficiency Drives Myocardial Fibrosis via Desmin‐Induced Mitochondrial Dysfunction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
CK2α preserves mitochondrial homeostasis by phosphorylating Desmin to recruit Cryab, ensuring proper filament assembly. CK2α deficiency disrupts this interaction, causing mitochondrial dysfunction, metabolic shifts, bioenergetic failure, and oxidative stress—ultimately establishing a pro‐fibrotic environment that drives cardiac fibrosis.

Lack of evidence for regulation of cardiac P-type ATPases and MAP kinases in transgenic mice with cardiac-specific overexpression of constitutively active α1B-adrenoceptors [PDF]

, 2010
The regulatory function of α1B-adrenoceptors in mammalian heart homeostasis is controversial. The objective of the present study was to characterize the expression/activity of key proteins implicated in cardiac calcium handling (Na+/K+-ATPase and Ca2 ...

Agonist-dependent phosphorylation of the alpha 2-adrenergic receptor by the beta-adrenergic receptor kinase.

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1987
Desensitization of the beta-adrenergic receptor, a receptor which is coupled to the stimulation of adenylate cyclase, may be regulated via phosphorylation by a unique protein kinase. This recently discovered enzyme, known as the beta-adrenergic receptor kinase, only phosphorylates the agonist-occupied form of the beta-adrenergic receptor.

Phosphorylation and Activation of β-Adrenergic Receptor Kinase by Protein Kinase C [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1995
The aim of this study was to test the possible modification of beta-adrenergic receptor kinase (beta ARK) activity by second messengers and/or their downstream components. Using human mononuclear leukocytes (MNL), we found that calcium ionophores could elevate beta ARK activity by about 80% in a protein kinase C (PKC)-dependent manner.

Research progress in animal models of dry eye disease: Types, mechanisms, and application prospects

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Pivotal multifactorial animal models for translational dry eye disease research. Abstract Dry eye disease (DED) is a prevalent and complex multifactorial ocular surface disorder, leading to significant visual discomfort and diminished quality of life.

Systemic aging fuels heart failure: Molecular mechanisms and therapeutic avenues

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1059-1080, April 2025.
Abstract Systemic aging influences various physiological processes and contributes to structural and functional decline in cardiac tissue. These alterations include an increased incidence of left ventricular hypertrophy, a decline in left ventricular diastolic function, left atrial dilation, atrial fibrillation, myocardial fibrosis and cardiac ...

Heteroreceptor complexes and their allosteric receptor-receptor interactions in the central nervous system. Focus on examples from Dopamine D2 and Serotonin 5-HT1a receptors [PDF]

, 2018
GPCR interacting proteins (specially β- arrestin) and their receptor-protein interactions are also covered but their interactions with the allosteric receptor-receptor interactions in heteroreceptor complexes remain to be elucidated.
