A new approach to an old disease: Ageing, arrhythmogenic substrate and the role of risk‐factor modification in atrial fibrillation

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) prevalence rises sharply with age due to two independent mechanisms. Ageing produces irreversible arrhythmogenic substrate changes through progressive fibrosis, cellular senescence and mitochondrial dysfunction, while modifiable risk factors such as obesity, hypertension, sleep apnoea, diabetes and alcohol use promote ...

Sphingosylphosphocholine modulates the ryanodine receptor/calcium-release channel of cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes [PDF]

Biochemical Journal, 1997
Sphingosylphosphocholine (SPC) modulates Ca2+ release from isolated cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes; 50 ƁM SPC induces the release of 70Ő80% of the accumulated calcium. SPC releases calcium from cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum through the ryanodine receptor, since the release is inhibited by the ryanodine receptor channel antagonists ryanodine,

Sirtuin signalling governs calcium homeostasis and mitochondrial function in metabolic syndrome cardiomyocytes

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a major contributor to cardiovascular disease and is characterized by impaired Ca2+ handling and mitochondrial dysfunction in cardiomyocytes. However, the upstream mechanisms linking metabolic stress to these alterations remain incompletely defined.

TMEM16A channel signalling microdomains in the regulation of vascular function

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Schematic representation of TMEM16A channel signalling microdomains. Calcium influx or calcium release from the endoplasmic/sarcoplasmic reticulum (ER/SR) activates TMEM16A channels through interactions with regulatory proteins in vascular smooth muscle cells or endothelial cells. TMEM16A channel activation drives chloride efflux,

Calcium‐activated chloride channels in pericytes and their role in regulating organ blood flow

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Pericytes are microvascular mural cells with diverse roles. Contractile pericytes directly regulate local perfusion, while non‐contractile pericytes coordinate upstream vascular contractility via propagating electrical signals.

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.

Inhibition of the skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor calcium release channel by nitric oxide

FEBS Letters, 1996
NO donors were found to reduce the rate of Ca2+ release from isolated skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and the open probability of single ryanodine receptor Ca2+ release channels (RyRCs) in planar lipid bilayers, and these effects were prevented by the NO quencher hemoglobin and reversed by 2‐mercaptoethanol.

Mitochondrial Ca2+ uniporter haploinsufficiency leads to sexually dimorphic redox imbalance and metabolic remodelling in the mouse brain

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The genetic inactivation of one Mcu allele leads to sex‐specific changes in neuronal function in adult mice, that is, the firing of action potentials and the relationship between cytosolic and mitochondrial Ca2+ levels. The ability to produce NAD(P)H by stimulated neural tissue is largely preserved in male mice but delayed in ...

Functional calcium release channel formed by the carboxyl-terminal portion of ryanodine receptor

Biophysical Journal, 1997
The ryanodine receptor (RyR) is one of the key proteins involved in excitation-contraction (E-C) coupling in skeletal muscle, where it functions as a Ca2+ release channel in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) membrane. RyR consists of a single polypeptide of approximately 560 kDa normally arranged in a homotetrameric structure, which contains a carboxyl ...
