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

The 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 ...

Ryanodine receptor type 3 why another ryanodine receptor isoform

Frontiers in Bioscience, 2003
The family of ryanodine receptor (RyR) genes encodes three highly related Ca2+ release channels: RyR1, RyR2 and RyR3. Until about 10 years ago, RyRs were essentially known only for being the Ca2+ release channels of the sarcoplasmic reticulum of striated muscles, because of the high levels of expression of the RyR1 and RyR2 isoforms in skeletal and ...

Ryanodine receptors are part of the myospryn complex in cardiac muscle

Scientific Reports, 2017
The Cardiomyopathy–associated gene 5 (Cmya5) encodes myospryn, a large tripartite motif (TRIM)-related protein found predominantly in cardiac and skeletal muscle. Cmya5 is an expression biomarker for a number of diseases affecting striated muscle and may

When NCX switches sides: Experimental and computational insights into Ca2+ regulation in the heart

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Due to its presence inside the dyadic cleft, Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCX) builds a functional unit together with L‐type calcium channels and ryanodine receptors in the dyadic cleft. NCX acts bidirectionally (forward and reverse mode) dependent on extracellular calcium ([Ca2+]o) and sodium ([Na+]o) concentrations and the membrane ...

Temporal switching and cell‐to‐cell variability in Ca2+ release activity in mammalian cells

Molecular Systems Biology, 2009
Genetically identical cells in a uniform external environment can exhibit different phenotypes, which are often masked by conventional measurements that average over cell populations.

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

The 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

The 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.

Multiscale mechanistic modelling of heterogeneity in cardiac sub‐cellular calcium handling accounting for variable t‐system density

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Illustration of spatial calcium dynamics (left panels) and the state cycle approximation (middle panel) that enables reduced simulation of spatially dependent dynamics without explicit description of space (right panels). The selected example here illustrates a spontaneous calcium wave, showing temporal snapshots of local calcium

Sedentary ageing remodels the structure–function relationships that underlie calcium signalling at super‐resolution scales in the heart

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Illustration of calcium spark function and ryanodine receptor (RyR) structure within a sedentary model of ageing. Upon sympathetic stimulation from 1 µM isoprenaline a linear response to calcium spark morphology occurred, accompanied by a biphasic progression of RyR remodelling across age.
