Macrophage extracellular vesicles deliver Mef2d proteins to aggravate Bacteroides fragilis pathogenicity in type 2 diabetes arterial calcification

open access: yesInterdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
Bacteroides fragilis is associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D) arterial calcification and can be activated by macrophage‐derived extracellular vesicles (EVs). BF takes up EVs via receptor‐mediated endocytosis, and activation is induced by EV‐derived Mef2d, thereby inhibiting ArsR family transcriptional regulator transcription.

Thapsigargin-resistant thiacalix[4]arene C-1087-sensitive component of the contractile activity in rat myometrium reflects the functioning of plasma membrane calcium pump

open access: yesБіологічні студії, 2023
Background. According to existing knowledge, thiacalix[4]arene С-1087 is highly capable of inhibiting Са2+-pump (Са2+, Mg2+-АТРase) of the plasma membrane; at the same time it inhibits the functioning of Са2+-pump of the sarcoplasmic reticulum of uterine

A Platform for the Actuation of Magnetically Labeled Skeletal Muscle Cells Using Dynamic Magnetic Stimulation

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
A magnetic stimulation platform for the remote stimulation of cells is presented, consisting of a magnetic stimulator and magnetic microspheres. Skeletal muscle cells are labeled with magnetic microspheres, which act as local magnetic actuators on the cells upon application of the magnetic field.

Non‐canonical PKG1 regulation in cardiovascular health and disease

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
It is well established that the cyclic GMP‐dependent protein kinase I (PKG1) is canonically activated by cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), enabling its regulation of vascular tone, cardiac function and smooth muscle homeostasis. However, diverse non‐canonical stimuli of PKG1 have also been identified.

Androgen Effects on the Adrenergic System of the Vascular, Airway, and Cardiac Myocytes and Their Relevance in Pathological Processes

open access: yesInternational Journal of Endocrinology, 2020
Introduction. Androgen signaling comprises nongenomic and genomic pathways. Nongenomic actions are not related to the binding of the androgen receptor (AR) and occur rapidly. The genomic effects implicate the binding to a cytosolic AR, leading to protein

Electrochemical potential of the inner mitochondrial membrane and Ca(2+) homeostasis of myometrium cells [PDF]

open access: yesThe Ukrainian Biochemical Journal, 2015
We demonstrated using Ca2+-sensitive fluorescent probe, mitochondria binding dyes, and confocal laser scanning microscopy, that elimination of electrochemical potential of uterus myocytes’ inner mitochondrial membrane by a protonophore carbonyl cyanide m-

Cardiotoxicity of BRAF/MEK inhibitors

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Rapidly accelerated fibrosarcoma type B/B‐Raf proto‐oncogene, serine/threonine kinase (BRAF) and mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MEK) inhibitors have transformed outcomes in cancer therapy, particularly in melanoma. However, cardiovascular toxicities are increasingly recognized in real‐world clinical practice.

Paracrine Effects of FGF23 on the Heart

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2018
Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 23 is a phosphaturic hormone primarily secreted by osteocytes to maintain phosphate and mineral homeostasis. In patients with and without chronic kidney disease, enhanced circulating FGF23 levels associate with pathologic ...

Chd4 and ThPOK cooperate to preserve structural and electrophysiological integrity of the adult heart through Sprr1a repression

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Chd4/NuRD and ThPOK cooperate to maintain transcriptional repression and nuclear organization in adult cardiomyocytes. Chd4 loss reduces miR‐150‐5p, relieving repression of Sprr1a, while ThPOK loss further enhances Sprr1a activation, possibly through altered chromatin–lamina interactions.

A key role for STIM1 in store operated calcium channel activation in airway smooth muscle

open access: yesRespiratory Research, 2006
Background Control of cytosolic calcium plays a key role in airway myocyte function. Changes in intracellular Ca2+ stores can modulate contractile responses, modulate proliferation and regulate synthetic activity.
