Ryanodine Receptor 2 Plays a Critical Role in Spinal Cord Injury via Induction of Oxidative Stress

Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2016
Background/Aims: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a severe health problem worldwide. Ryanodine receptors (RyRs) are a class of intracellular calcium channels in various excitable tissues such as muscles and nervous tissues.

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 ...

Mechanisms underlying local Ca2+ signalling differences between right and left atrial myocytes at normal and increased frequencies

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Left atrial myocytes have TAT‐associated faster Ca2+ release but are more prone to maladaptation at higher frequencies due to weaker peripheral SR Ca2+ uptake and smaller trigger Ca2+ current. Abstract Changes in heart rate affect Ca2+ signalling and contractility in ventricular muscle, but the effects on atrial Ca2+ signalling ...

Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia–linked ryanodine receptor variants exhibit domain‐specific calcium leak and calmodulin affinity properties

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) variants in N terminal (NTD) and central domain (CD) but not pore domain induce a pathological RyR2 conformational shift upon protein kinase A (PKA) phosphorylation, similar to that seen in heart failure (HF), calcium/calmodulin‐dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII ...

14‐3‐3 proteins: Regulators of cardiac excitation–contraction coupling and stress responses

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend 14‐3‐3 protein interactions in cardiac regulation. Schematic representation of 14‐3‐3 binding partners in excitation–contraction coupling, transcriptional regulation/development and stress response pathways. Asterisks indicate targets where the exact 14‐3‐3 binding site is unknown.

Discovery and Structure–Activity Relationship of a Ryanodine Receptor 2 Inhibitor

Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin
Ryanodine receptor 2 (RyR2) is a large Ca2+-release channel in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of cardiac muscle cells. It serves to release Ca2+ from the SR into the cytosol to initiate muscle contraction. RyR2 overactivation is associated with arrhythmogenic cardiac disease, but few specific inhibitors have been reported so far.

Pharmacology of ryanodine receptors and Ca²⁺‐induced Ca²⁺release

Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Membrane Transport and Signaling, 2012
AbstractRyanodine receptors (RyR) are cation‐selective, ligand‐modulated, ion channels that provide a pathway for the regulated release of Ca2+from intracellular reticular storage organelles to initiate a wide variety of cellular processes. In addition to regulation by endogenous ligands, the function of RyR can be altered by many pharmacological ...

Antioxidant supplementation blunts the proteome response to 3 weeks of sprint interval training preferentially in human type 2 muscle fibres

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Sprint interval training (SIT) is a popular time‐efficient type of endurance training. Healthy young men performed nine SIT sessions (4–6 × 30 s all‐out cycling sprints) over 3 weeks while being supplemented with antioxidants (high doses of vitamins C and E) or placebo. Muscle biopsies taken before and after the first SIT session

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 ...
