Excitation Contraction Coupling in Hypertrophy and Failing Heart Cells [PDF]
The contraction of the heart is dependent on a process named the excitation-contraction coupling (E-C coupling). In hypertrophy and failing heart models, the expression, phosphorylation and function of key calcium handling proteins involved in E-C ...

Current clinical application of dantrolene sodium [PDF]
Dantrolene sodium (DS) was first introduced as an oral antispasmodic drug. However, in 1975, DS was demonstrated to be effective for managing malignant hyperthermia (MH) and was adopted as the primary therapeutic drug after intravenous administration ...

Contraction of striated muscle is triggered by a massive release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) into the cytoplasm. This intracellular calcium release is initiated by membrane depolarization, which is sensed by voltage-gated calcium ...

Ryanodine receptor calcium release channels in trophoblasts and their role in cell migration [PDF]
Trophoblasts are specialized epithelial cells of the placenta that are involved in invasion, communication and the exchange of materials between the mother and fetus. Cytoplasmic Ca2+ ([Ca2+]c) plays critical roles in regulating such processes in other cell types, but relatively little is known about the mechanisms that control this second messenger in

Snapin, positive regulator of stimulation- induced Ca²⁺ release through RyR, is necessary for HIV-1 replication in T cells. [PDF]
To identify critical host factors necessary for human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) replication, large libraries of short-peptide-aptamers were expressed retrovirally.

Adenosine enhanced intracellular Ca2+ concentrations in astrocytes via A2a adenosine receptors involving protein kinase A (PKA) activation. The Ca2+ rise is inhibited by brefeldin A, an inhibitor of vesicular transport; but not by neomycin and U73122 ...

Basal ryanodine receptor activity suppresses autophagic flux [PDF]
The inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs) and intracellular Ca2+ signaling are critically involved in regulating different steps of autophagy, a lysosomal degradation pathway.

The Mitochondrial Ca(2+) Uniporter: Structure, Function, and Pharmacology. [PDF]
Mitochondrial Ca(2+) uptake is crucial for an array of cellular functions while an imbalance can elicit cell death. In this chapter, we briefly reviewed the various modes of mitochondrial Ca(2+) uptake and our current understanding of mitochondrial Ca(2+)

Ryanodine receptors are targeted by anti-apoptotic Bcl-X-L involving its BH4 domain and Lys87 from its BH3 domain [PDF]
Anti-apoptotic B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) family members target several intracellular Ca2+-transport systems. Bcl-2, via its N-terminal Bcl-2 homology (BH) 4 domain, inhibits both inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP(3)Rs) and ryanodine receptors ...
