The use of calcium channel blockers in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases [PDF]
Arhiv za farmaciju, 2015 Voltage-sensitive calcium channels (L-type) mediate the entry of extracellular calcium into smooth muscle and cardiac myocytes and sinoatrial and atrioventricular nodal cells in response to electrical depolarization.

LIM-only protein, CRP2, switched on smooth muscle gene activity in adult cardiac myocytes [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2007 Smooth muscle α-actin gene activity appears in promyocardial cells well before cardiac myocyte differentiation and is down-regulated during the onset of rhythmic contractility and cardiac morphogenesis. The levels of LIM-only CRP2 correlated well with smooth muscle gene activity. Cardiomyocyte-specific expression of CRP2 in transgenic mice

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2019 Norbormide is a toxicant selective for rats to which it induces a widespread vasoconstriction. In a recent paper, we hypothesized a role of ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels in norbormide-induced vasoconstriction.

Sources and regulation of nitric oxide synthesis in uterus smooth muscle cells [PDF]
The Ukrainian Biochemical Journal, 2019 It was proved that NO synthesis in isolated mitochondria of rat uterus smooth muscle depended on the entry of exogenous Ca2+ to mitochondria (inhibited by 1-10 mM Mg2+ in the absence of ATP and by 10 μM ruthenium red) and was suppressed by calmodulin ...

Endothelins. Myocardial actions of a new class of cytokines [PDF]
, 1992 There is growing evidence to support the existence of a dynamic interaction in vivo between cardiac myocytes and adjacent microvascular endothelial cells in the regulation of both cardiac myocyte and possibly endothelial cell phenotype and function ...

Calix[4]arene C-99 inhibits myosin ATPase activity and changes the organization of contractile filaments of myometrium [PDF]
The Ukrainian Biochemical Journal, 2015 Calix[4]arenes are cup-like macrocyclic (polyphenolic) compounds, they are regarded as promising molecular “platforms” for the design of new physiologically active compounds.

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 Smooth muscle cells of the vasculature, viscera, and lungs generally express multiple α-subunits of the Kv7 voltage-gated potassium channel family, with increasing evidence that both Kv7.4 and Kv7.5 can conduct “M-currents” that are functionally ...
