Isogenic Pairs of hiPSC-CMs with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy/LVNC-Associated ACTC1 E99K Mutation Unveil Differential Functional Deficits [PDF]
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a primary disorder of contractility in heart muscle. To gain mechanistic insight and guide pharmacological rescue, this study models HCM using isogenic pairs of human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived ...

Dantrolene Requires Mg2+ and ATP To Inhibit the Ryanodine Receptor
Dantrolene is a ryanodine receptor (RyR) inhibitor, which is used to relax muscles in malignant hyperthermia syndrome. Although dantrolene binds to the RyR protein, its mechanism of action is unknown, mainly because of the controversial results showing ...

Conformational Studies of Ortho- and Meto-Isomers and Methyl, Dimethyl, and Chloro Ortho-Substituted Analogues of Dantrolene Using Ab Initio SCF-MO Procedures [PDF]
The conformation of the nitro group of nitroaromatic compounds relative to the aromatic ringsystem is suggested to affect their metabolic activation and mutagenicity. We have recently showed the nitrophenylfuran skeletal muscle relaxant, dantrolene, tobe

BH4 Oxidation‐Derived H2O2 Activates ERK1/2 Signaling via B‐Raf in Rat Dorsal Root Ganglion Neurons
Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) is linked to various pain conditions, but targeting its synthesis in vivo is prone to side effects. We now characterized a so far unknown mechanism of BH4‐induced signaling in sensory neurons. In rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons, we identified neither BH4 nor its oxidation product, BH2, but the byproduct H2O2 to induce ...

Osmotic pressure‐induced calcium response states
Acute hypotonic stress triggers distinct calcium response patterns in HEK293T cells. These signals originate from the endoplasmic reticulum via RyR2 and propagate to neighboring cells through gap junctions. This result highlights a novel calcium‐dependent mechanism underlying the intracellular and intercellular response to osmotic pressure.
