Developmental Changes in Excitation–Contraction Mechanisms of the Mouse Ventricular Myocardium as Revealed by Functional and Confocal Imaging Analyses

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2013
Developmental changes in excitation–contraction mechanisms were examined in the ventricular myocardium from fetal, neonatal, and 1-, 2-, and 4-week-old mice.

Role of the JP45-Calsequestrin Complex on Calcium Entry in Slow Twitch Skeletal Muscles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We exploited a variety of mouse models to assess the roles of JP45-CASQ1 (CASQ, calsequestrin) and JP45-CASQ2 on calcium entry in slow twitch muscles.

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

open access: yes, 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

Study of calcium sparks in skeletal and smooth muscle cells in normal and pathological conditions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
mTOR signaling influence a wide range of cellular process including protein synthesis (Iadevaia et al., 2012; Ma and Blenis, 2009; Thoreen et al., 2012), lipids synthesis (Lamming and Sabatini, 2013), transcription (Dibble and Manning, 2013; Vazquez ...

Transgenic overexpression of GTP cyclohydrolase 1 in cardiomyocytes ameliorates post-infarction cardiac remodeling

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
GTP cyclohydrolase 1 (GCH1) and its product tetrahydrobiopterin play crucial roles in cardiovascular health and disease, yet the exact regulation and role of GCH1 in adverse cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction are still enigmatic.

Distinct Effects of Mitochondrial Na+/Ca2+ Exchanger Inhibition and Ca2+ Uniporter Activation on Ca2+ Sparks and Arrhythmogenesis in Diabetic Rats

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2023
Background Mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to the cardiac remodeling triggered by type 2 diabetes (T2D). Mitochondrial Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]m) modulates the oxidative state and cytosolic Ca2+ regulation.

Proton permeability of sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1980
The proton permeability of rabbit skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles was investigated by means of membrane potential measurements. Diffusion potentials were generated in sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles, rat liver microsomes, and sarcoplasmic

The slow sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase declines independently of slow myosin in soleus muscle of diabetic rats [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA) isoforms are normally expressed in coordination with the corresponding myosin heavy chain (MyHC) isoforms in the fibers of skeletal muscle but this coordination is often disrupted in pathological conditions.

Pathological conformations of disease mutant Ryanodine Receptors revealed by cryo-EM

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Ryanodine Receptors (RyRs) release Ca2+ from the endoplasmic and sarcoplasmic reticulum. Mutations in RyR are linked to malignant hyperthermia (MH), myopathies, and arrhythmias. Here, a collection of cryoEM structures provides insights into the molecular

Observation of Network Dynamics of Ryanodine Receptors on Skeletal Muscle Sarcoplasmic Reticulum Membranes

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Translational Myology, 2016
Rabbit muscle vesicles derived from sarcoplasmic reticulum were used as a material in studying networks of ryanodine receptors by cryo electron tomography. Three-dimensional analysis reveals the dynamical features of these networks. It was found that the
