Cellular mechanisms of radiation‐induced myocyte dysfunction: effects on calcium handling, ion channel regulation and mitochondrial energetics

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Dose‐dependent effects of radiation on cardiac electrophysiology and arrhythmia susceptibility. At low radiation doses (left), increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) initiate an ROS–Ca2+ positive feedback loop involving calcium/calmodulin‐dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) activation, enhanced L‐type Ca2+ current (ICaL ...

Electrodiffusion in cardiac intercalated disc nanostructures alters cell–cell action potential transmission via ephaptic coupling: A model study

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Ephaptic phenomena in a high‐resolution model of the cardiac intercalated disc. Meshed representation of a tortuous intercalated disc that was generated based on electron and super‐resolution microscopy data. Na+ channels (red) and gap junctions (green) are heterogeneously distributed, with additional regions of reduced ion ...

ATP and mechanisms of central CO2 chemosensitivity [PDF]

open access: yes
ATP release from the surface of the ventro-lateral medulla (VLM) is integral to the hypercapnic response in vivo and can be seen in vitro. By employing horizontal slices of the ventral medulla containing the ventral chemosensitive nuclei, I have ...

Intercalated disk structure, tissue heterogeneity and ion channel distribution modulate conduction and local calcium influx

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend A, three‐dimensional representation of cardiac intercalated disk, reduced to a 100‐partition, computationally efficient network representation. B, ion dynamics within intercalated disk extracellular cleft space. C, rapid pacing leads to localized conduction block in tissue with regions of perturbed intercalated disk (ID ...

An age‐associated decline in the role of the sarcoplasmic reticulum and associated calcium‐handling proteins sets the pace for sinoatrial node function

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Stable, responsive pacemaking in the sinoatrial node is driven by the activity of the funny current (membrane clock), interplay of calcium cycling and release from the sarcoendoplasmic reticulum with depolarising sodium‐calcium exchange current (calcium clock). With increasing age, key proteins associated with calcium cycling are

The interplay between dynamic regulation of ion‐channel gating and trafficking in cardiac arrhythmogenesis

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Cardiac cellular electrophysiology is modulated by multiple factors, including temperature, extracellular K+, heart rate/pacing frequency, and drugs. These modulators can have distinct effects on ion‐channel gating and transcription/trafficking over time.

MAPK phosphorylation of connexin 43 promotes binding of cyclin E and smooth muscle cell proliferation

open access: yes, 2012
<p>Rationale: Dedifferentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) leading to a proliferative cell phenotype significantly contributes to the development of atherosclerosis.
