Heat Shock Protein 70 Protects the Heart from Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury through Inhibition of p38 MAPK Signaling. [PDF]
BackgroundHeat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) has been shown to exert cardioprotection. Intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i) overload induced by p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) activation contributes to cardiac ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury ...

Low and High Pressor Doses of Ang II Lead to Two Distinct Phenotypes of Hypertensive Heart Disease in Mice. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Hypertension is a major contributor to cardiovascular diseases, being the most common comorbidity and the biggest risk factor in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Angiotensin II (Ang II) is a known hypertension and heart failure inducer in mice, but its role in the causality in phenotype development remains unclear.

Prominent heart organ-level performance deficits in a genetic model of targeted severe and progressive SERCA2 deficiency. [PDF]
The cardiac SERCA2 Ca(2+) pump is critical for maintaining normal Ca(2+) handling in the heart. Reduced SERCA2a content and blunted Ca(2+) reuptake are frequently observed in failing hearts and evidence implicates poor cardiac Ca(2+) handling in the ...

Physical Coupling between SERCA2 and PDE3A Regulates SERCA2 Activity in Cardiomyocytes [PDF]
Rationale: SERCA2 controls cardiac contractility, and its activity is negatively regulated by the cAMP phosphodiesterase PDE3A through an unknown mechanism. Recent clinical trials have shown upregulation of SERCA2 gene therapy as beneficial in heart failure.Objective: To examine whether PDE3A is physically associated with SERCA, and to further evaluate

Cardiac Plin5 interacts with SERCA2 and promotes calcium handling and cardiomyocyte contractility
We show that elevated cardiac Plin5 correlates with up-regulation of cardiac contraction–related processes, unraveling a novel Plin5 interaction with SERCA2 associated with improved calcium handling.

Characterization of Calumenin-SERCA2 Interaction in Mouse Cardiac Sarcoplasmic Reticulum [PDF]
Calumenin is a multiple EF-hand Ca(2+)-binding protein localized in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) with C-terminal SR retention signal HDEF. Recently, we showed evidence that calumenin interacts with SERCA2 in rat cardiac SR (Sahoo, S. K., and Kim, D. H. (2008) Mol. Cells 26, 265-269).

Wolfram Syndrome protein, Miner1, regulates sulphydryl redox status, the unfolded protein response, and Ca2+ homeostasis. [PDF]
Miner1 is a redox-active 2Fe2S cluster protein. Mutations in Miner1 result in Wolfram Syndrome, a metabolic disease associated with diabetes, blindness, deafness, and a shortened lifespan.
