Mechanisms altering airway smooth muscle cell Ca(2+) homeostasis in two asthma models [PDF]

, 2008
Background: Asthma is characterized by airway remodeling, altered mucus production and airway smooth muscle cell (ASMC) contraction causing extensive airway narrowing. In particular, alterations of ASMC contractility seem to be of crucial importance. The

Update on cellular expression and function of ANO1 channels in urethral smooth muscle

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Activation of ANO1 channels and resulting Cl− efflux are suggested to modulate urethral smooth muscle contractility by enhancing Ca2+ influx via voltage‐dependent Ca2+ entry and resulting contraction in urethral smooth muscle cells.

Foot protein isoforms are expressed at different times during embryonic chick skeletal muscle development. [PDF]

, 1991
We have investigated the time course of expression of the alpha and beta triad junctional foot proteins in embryonic chick pectoral muscle. The level of [3H]ryanodine binding in muscle homogenates is low until day E20 of embryonic development, then ...

Mathematical model of the zebrafish ventricular cardiomyocyte action potential and calcium transient

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend This study presents the development and validation of the first biophysically detailed computational model of the zebrafish ventricular action potential (AP). The model is based on a human cardiomyocyte framework and reparameterized using published and newly generated patch‐clamp recordings of zebrafish ionic currents.

Calciprotein particle‐induced calcium overload triggers mitochondrial dysfunction in endothelial cells

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Calciprotein particles (CPPs) are small calcium‐ and phosphate‐containing nanoaggregates associated with the development of vascular disease (CVD) in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Previously, we have shown that CPPs induce endothelial cell (EC) dysfunction, possibly contributing to CVD in CKD, but the underlying molecular ...

PCB-95 Promotes Dendritic Growth via Ryanodine Receptor–Dependent Mechanisms

Environmental Health Perspectives, 2012
Background: Aroclor 1254 (A1254) interferes with normal dendritic growth and plasticity in the developing rodent brain, but the mechanism(s) mediating this effect have yet to be established.

Intramuscular pathways of maladaptation in overtraining syndrome

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The transition from adaptive overreaching to maladaptive overtraining and mechanisms through which excessive training load can lead to performance decline. Four interconnected pathophysiological domains are highlighted: neural fatigue, involving both central and peripheral components such as altered sensory feedback and reflex ...

Homer and the ryanodine receptor

European Biophysics Journal, 2009
Homer proteins have recently been identified as novel high-affinity ligands that modulate ryanodine receptor (RyR) Ca(2+) release channels in heart and skeletal muscle, through an EVH1 domain which binds to proline-rich regions in target proteins. Many Homer proteins can also self-associate through a coiled-coil domain that allows their multimerisation.

Mitochondrial oxidative stress, calcium and dynamics in cardiac ischaemia‐reperfusion injury

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Heart attack causes ischaemia–reperfusion injury in cardiomyocytes. Mitochondria generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to oxidative stress. High levels of mitochondrial calcium (Ca2+) activate the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP), and excess ROS levels can lower the Ca2+ required to activate the mPTP ...

RyR2 QQ2958 Genotype and Risk of Malignant Ventricular Arrhythmias

Cardiology Research and Practice, 2016
Ventricular arrhythmias are one of the most common causes of death in developed countries. The use of implantable cardiac defibrillators is the most effective treatment to prevent sudden cardiac death.
